Reviewing: "Hair Removal Wax Reviews"

Here I help explain how to navigate hair removal wax reviews. This is related to product reviews, not wax service reviews.
I try to articulate how reading reviews for hair removal wax can be extremely misleading, especially when it's hard wax beads being reviewed.
Any novice can use soft wax, that stuff sticks to EVERYTHING. This is good for removing hair, but bad for skin & irritation.
Why is hard wax for professionals, thus don't consider novice reviews?
1. Wax Temperature: Premium wax or more specifically premium hard wax must be heated before it's pliable. So from the very beginning you have to master the proper temperature, which is NOT easy. Too hot, you'll burn the skin. Too cold, the wax won't grab the hair.
2. Wax Type/Quality: The brand or type of hard wax along with room temperature, air circulation, customer's temperature will all affect the timing for removal of the wax. Wait too long and the wax will cool too much and crack. Remove too early and the wax will stretch like gum. Both will result in an unfavorable removal of hair.
3. Application: How you apply the wax is just as important as any other factor.
4. Removing Wax: It's not just timing with removal, but there's a technique here too.
5 - X. Area preparation, hair length, post wax care.

You are the reason why I felt confident enough to start waxing at home. You’re videos are simple and straight to the point! Love your reviews and demonstration videos as well, have been a subscriber for a few months now and after watching this video I wanted to give you the praise you deserved! Thank you for making the content that you do, looking forward to future videos 💕

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Aw goodness that makes me so happy!! I love being able to help people, thank you for following!! Much love!!

[@wayy_erica]

I agree these are nice videos

[@Lee_Marie.2]

Thank you for this video! I've been a licensed cosmetologist working in a salon for years and I still occasionally have that new client that comes to me and acts as if they know more than I do. I don't care if someone asks questions, in fact, I encourage it and explain every service in detail before and during, but it really gets to me when they talk down to me or treat me as if I'm not doing it right or I'm using the wrong product because they read something on the internet. If all you needed was the internet or product reviews, they could preform the service on themselves instead of having a professional that went to school, trained and took multiple tests to become licensed.

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

The struggle is real! Sometimes, you just need to put a client in their place. Super frustrating though!!

I do my own Brazilians and I bought the Gigi wax when I was first gathering supplies and it was horrible. It hardens completely and you end up having it break when you pull. It was the worst, I use a different brand now and my pubes are doing much better

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Aw that sounds terrible, GiGi is horrible!

[@kittywuvscissors3504]

What wax do you use

omg same! I used the all purpose honey hard wax for my arms and it was breaking off and I just assumed maybe all hard wax is like that, so I'm actually glad I found this video!

[@latoyaturner743]

I do my own Brazilian waxing at home because I did a waxing course before with just the basic steps in waxing and tried the GiGi twice and it caused minor blisters. I switched to Satin Smooth hard wax and it turned out much better with no irritation. Was looking at some of your mermaid wax reviews and will definitely give it a try. ❤️

[@terrydaniels4137]

I so appreciate your candor and honesty. I know that client, we all in the business know that client. You handled it very professionally. Good Job!

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@melissabernett9970]

Omg I can't even read the product reviews on Amazon because its so frustrating! Complete amateurs openly talking about misusing products then basing their rating on their ineptitude 🤦‍♀️ I agree about the Gigi Brazilian wax being crap, but I'm actually trying out the all purpose honee soft wax right now and I'm undecided about that one. I am newly licensed and am still learning so I prefer to watch real professionals like yourself using products the right way and reviewing it. People don't understand that there's just so much that goes into waxing and there are so many different kinds of waxes to choose from. Just because the label says its good for certain types of waxing doesn't mean it actually is and you have to know what qualities to look for in a wax to determine where and how to use it. There are also lots of licensed estheticians out there who act like they know all there is to know about waxing and do it wrong. Thank you for properly educating people in the art of waxing! 😊

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

I definitely agree! Thank you for the support!

[@suziekue7561]

You've encouraged me to buy Starpil wax! Best thing I've done, especially the hard wax being available in pink is a PLUS. It's easy to use and I'm happy to say my clients(African etc) feedback is it's less painful than the previous wax. Thank you!

Oh yes the wax at Sally's suck!! So sorry you had to find out the hard way :(

[@Winxcrazy1]

I wish I saw this before I bought the starter kit. I am not new to waxing but I had to stop going to my ethictian bc of quarantine so I had to do it myself bc my hairs were getting unruly. I have both the honee and brazilian and the brazilian hard wax was HORRIBLE. It's a good thing i did a patch test because it was so painful and the wax was really hard to remove. I did get all the wax tho but I did not enjoy that at all

[@ayshortier]

Put it on a hot plate or frying pan then, use the store receipts as strips. Let the wax and paper cool on your skin, then pull. It works, just takes longer to heat and not microwaveable.

[@ILOLnumber1]

Oh man, I wish I watched this video before I bought the Gigi Creme Wax and Cooling Gel! I haven't used them yet, but I was about to start for my upper lip and chin. I chose the creme wax because I read this rave review on it from one of the fashion magazines. I can't remember which one, but it's one of the big ones that everyone knows. Anyway, the review included this product as one of the best for sensitive skin. Now I'm wondering if I should use it at all.

[@littlebeebs1]

OMG ! That stuff breaks and gets stuck. I did my first self Brazilian with it . I do my own Brazilians because I have to do it every two weeks and it’s too expensive to pay every two weeks. Sadly , no salons near me use hard wax either . To think your client thought THAT crappy wax was the best musta been frustrating. Can’t wait to learn more about your new brand of wax 🤗

I do not have lots of clients everyday so thoughy dual pro one would be better. What do you suggest?

If this is too invasive of a question just ignore me lol but do you personally wax yourself? I see a lot of ppl do their own Brazilian’s and I’m curious to know the pro’s and cons.

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Haha no problem. Yes I do. It took me a while before I tried. Now I'm just used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore. Honestly, I don't think there's any pro's to waxing yourself! It hurts, it's harder to pull since you are causing pain to yourself, it takes longer. I would much rather someone else wax me, I just don't have the time to go somewhere! So I do it myself lol. I recommend everyone to get it done professionally, unless you're like myself (a professional esthetician) and just don't have the time. I hope that helps!

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

So sorry! It gets easier if you stick with it!

[@JasonGage]

@@hissnkittenwaxing I will and thanks. I need to know, when waxing my chest can I go over my nipples with hard wax? Thanks again

[@sarahmichelle473]

What do you recommend for someone who doesn’t have a salon license to purchase things online? I get harder areas like Brazilian waxed professionally, but I do my own legs at home

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

You can get Cirepil on Amazon!

[@kellyacy5652]

You are so right. That Brazilian wax is horrible! Waste of money.

[@christinatillinghast8644]

Where did you get your warmer?

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Hi there, sorry just getting time to reply, forgive me. I'll have them for sale actually. On my site www.mermaidwax.com -Should be available to ship in a couple weeks, almost done with manufacturing them. (I'm referring to the large stainless steel warmer)

[@SkatebardCA]

I followed the link, I don't understand the product names, and the descriptions don't say what the difference is.

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

? Not sure what product you're referring to.

[@SkatebardCA]

@@hissnkittenwaxing can you do a video that explains what the difference between the colours is? Is the difference only colour?

[@tracyphysicalhealthfitness6997]

I too didn’t get the names. (Was multitasking) 🤨 Mermaid wax is one she has mentioned in other videos. Will you please reply back with the hard wax brand you like to use?

[@tessaseymour4693]

Where do you get starpil wax I’m just getting into esthetician’s school and I just saw this video and I was gonna go to Sally’s this weekend and pick up some things and a friend recommended gigi wax but now I’m rethinking getting it.

[@jennybaby415]

Starpil.com

[@nataliarod7289]

I’m excited to try Starpil hard wax, but I was wondering if there are any other wax warmer brands you can recommend for home use

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Starpil actually has some great wax warmers!

[@LovePatience32]

It doesn't work for armpits , it wont dry and is sticky, guys just stick to hard wax

[@Grapefruit000]

Are the Gigi wax warmers just as bad or is it the wax itself? If so, can you recommend another at home wax warmer

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

They're definitely not the greatest but they get the job done!

[@Grapefruit000]

HK Wax Center - Austin Arbor is there anything else that you can recommend?

[@kristinYamaguchi-e3q]

Thank you for the review I love it

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

You are so welcome!

[@deesibrian]

Thank you for these educational videos much needed I’ve been trying to buy a good wax that won’t irritate skin and that Can do a great job for all parts of the body including brows ❤️ I before I become an esthetician I used Gigi wax for my brows for 10 years and tried it on my arm pits and it wouldn’t work

[@KimRelic]

The thing with gigi is that its widely and readily available. So if u just want for personal use it's most likely the brand you will find

[@PinkButterfly7330]

What about GIGI soft wax strip ? is it bad? @HK WAX CENTER
