i've been waxing with this stuff for 11 years. legs, face, armpits and bikini. Thankyou mothernature for giving me fine blonde hair...everywhere. Great product if you know what you're doing. I have a home warmer and melt the wax in the microwave first and then pour it into the warmer. It's easier to keep a consistent temperature, and you don't have to run back and forth to the microwave to keep reheating it (if you're doing a long session) When doing my bikini, i sit on a piece of aluminum foil to catch any drips. Works great! Use the oil it comes with and give yourself time. It's important to apply the product in the direction of the hair growth and remove it in the opposite direction. Armpits and bikini can be challenging for this, so work in small areas. don't rush Great product.
GREAT PRODUCT!!

Best home wax I have ever used

I have tried others and this one actually worked for me. It does harden up quickly, so the key is doing small areas at a time. I did about 2x2 incvh areas and it worked great. I got the brazilian formula and used the oil supplied (left it on for a few minutes while I heated up the wax) and I didn't have any problems getting the wax off yet it did take all the hair as well. I really like this stuff and I will definitely use it again. Oh, and yeah, it's painful (duh!), and I did have some bleeding, but I always get that when I wax (either myself or at the salon) so it doesn't faze me. Recommend!!
Love this stuff!

I was very hesitant about the new formula...but now I FREAKING CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!! The trick is to really know how to use it correctly. The oil is the KEY. You are a huge sticky mess without it and for some reason it only comes with the brazilian wax. I have very coarse hair and this product is the perfect thing for it for under $10. The only downside is the honey smell. It is very strong. But, I highly recommend it!
salon quality!

This wax is great. You really get salon results with this stuff. You don't have to go back over spots, all the hair comes off the first time. I love that you don't have to use cloth strips; it makes me feel like I have more control of the wax. The things that I found that helped were: 1. If you have a piece that is hard to get off, pull off or cut off the excess and re-cover it with more wax in a longer strip away from the hair. Sometimes it is terribly painful if the edge where you are pulling from is right at the hair. If you have a longer strip you can rip it off easier like a bandaid. 2. I usually remove the hair in a sort of circular fashion. Start on the outside and work your way in. Usually, only half of the width of my strip is actually covering hair and I try to extend the strip longer than where the hair is so I can get a good grip on the wax and can pull it off in a quick motion (avoids bruising and ripping the skin) 3. Cover small areas of hair to be removed. Make sure the wax is relatively thin. If it's too thick it will take forever to harden. (but if it's too thin it can be hard to remove) Right when you can no longer see the hair is about the thickness the wax should be. 4. And ofcourse...use talcum powder or other powder (I use an all natural cornstarch powder because I can't use talc) Put this on before you wax. This will make it pull off easier and not stick to the skin as much. Use baby oil to soothe your skin after and to remove any excess wax. I don't recommend this wax for face. It's much easier and safer to use the pre-waxed face strips. There is too much risk of getting this in your eyes or hair. If you've never waxed before, try this on your lower leg before moving to the bikini area. Good luck waxing!

So, I have been using this product for about 10 years now. It is the best cheap home waxing kit, although it has taken me years to figure it out. It is messy, and sticky, and if you get it on your clothes it will most likely not come off. I have ruined so many t-shirts that I have changed to waxing topless. You also have to heat it perfectly, and it varies from microwave to microwave. Some batches seem stickier than others. It is really hit or miss. I could not live without this product, but it is hard as hell to use. I even use the bikini and body and leg stuff on my face from time to time, because I feel the wax leaves the skin easier than the face formula. I never use the face formula, it never comes off. And if you don't want pain the first few times, don't wax period. It can hurt with this stuff, it can hurt with a professional. It's so much cheaper than a professional though! For larger areas like bikini area, I suggest Nads strips. They are fantastic.
Wokrs for me

I have extremely thick dark coarse hair and wanted to wax my bikini. This is the only product I have ever been able to use. It works wonderfully, and yeah it hurts, but remember you are ripping hair out of your body! It is going to hurt. But it always works for me as long as the hair is long enough but not too long, and I make sure I don't do it during certain times of the month when the skin is more sensitive. I would definitely recomend this product. I don't understand all the complaints about finding the wax difficult to remove because I never have any issues. It always comes off easily for me, but I make sure I don't let it sit too long. If it sits too long then yes, it gets too hard and cracks. If there is any little bit remaining, I just take the wax I just removed and use it to try and pull the remaining wax off, works every time. I also use it on small areas at a time, works better that way. I think it is a great product and now I don't have to fork out $80 bucks to get my bikini waxed. Results really last for a long time too! I wax every month now, and only costs me $10. Great product!
LOVE IT!

I never tried the old Surgi-Wax, but the "new and improved" stuff I bought today with the maple honey is great! SO much better than using the muslin strips and you only have to wait thirty seconds to pull it off. Does a wonderful job everywhere. Yes, everywhere.
Try it!!

I have to say that I love Surgi-wax, I have been useing this product for about a year now and have found it sooo much more comfortable than any other form of waxing out there!! I used it everywhere. A trick I've learned to get it off your fingers is to use regular rubbing alcohol or "Goop be gone"! Try that and then see how you like it!
The Best Wax EVER!!!!

Bleaching never worked for me. A little dark hair above the lip is slightly embarrassing and this wax is the only product that lets me remove all the hair in 1 or 2 applications. Those muslin strips never work. Even though this product is not water soluble....baby oil works wonders and at the same time softens the skin. All you have to do is put a layer on that is not too thin and not an inch thick, let it cool to the touch and yank! Works every time. A trick I found is run your finger under cold water and just touch the wax while it is on your body. You can tell when it hardens up. This is the greatest product!
