Product Rating: 5 Awesome!
Reviewer: anonymous from Honolulu  Sun Oct 11 2009

I never write reviews but I just have to say that this is the easiest wax kit ever! It works just as well as any visit to the salon. So far I have done my upper lip and my bikini and it has been easy and the results are awesome. This is a great investment...will save me lots of trips to the salon!

Reviewer: Chana   Sat Oct 10 2009

I purchased this product because I read the reviews,and it was highly recommended. I was exteremly disappointed with the product. The wax was SO sticky, and got on everything and everywhere and wouldn't come off. It was exteremly painful. I used it once and never again. Big waste of money.

Product Rating: 5 Extraordinary! XD
Reviewer: Nicci from Oklahoma, USA  Sat Sep 26 2009

First I'd like to say it came in like 4 days which makes me really happy. And it was really easy to use.
I had very little pain, of course I've been getting my eyebrows and lip waxed for quite sometime now and have never chringed( I'm a tough cookie apparently), and redness.
FYI though the wax is MAJORLY STICKY, and it's not hard block or anything before you heat it up. It's kinda like a caramel taffy like thing. So avoid touching because it doesn't really come off that well with soap and water. I would suggest putting a piece of paper on your bathroom counter( or where ever you are doing this) to lay your "applicator"( honestly it's just a popsicle stick! XD) on, cause it kind stuck to my counter and that just makes more of a mess to clean up afterwards.
Oh and it does take about 2 hours to heat up. Probably less but I was watching the new episodes of Psych and Monk so I wasn't in any kind of hurry. Just be patient it totally pays off. ;D
Overall it turned out really nice for my first try. I feel very satisfied, and the next time I use it it will have paied for itself. A very VERY very great deal. I would pounce on it like a tiger man! XD

Product Rating: 5 Awesome Waxing Kit!

This was the fist time I waxed myself for a (brazillian), I normally go to a salon to get it done. I found the kit and wax very easy to use, no pain what so ever. I highly recommend it!!

Product Rating: 4 good kit, awful wax
Reviewer: Shruti from Ann Arbor, MI, USA  Wed Sep 09 2009

the warmer is great. it heats the wax evenly and quickly (<30 minutes on high, 10 minutes on medium seems to melt and stabilize the wax at a comfortable temperature for application). baby oil or shea butter seems to work better than the wax remover and the honey wax that comes with the kit is awwwwful. too sticky and terrible for sensitive areas (face, bikini....). i bought a gigi creme wax to use with the kit and now i am very happy.

Product Rating: 5 This kit is fantastic!!
Reviewer: Clara   Tue Aug 25 2009

I'm not a first-time at-home waxer, but this was my first try at a wax warmer. Before, I'd always tried microwave kits and pre-waxed strips, but this kit makes me angry I didn't try it sooner!! I did my bikini area, lip, and eyebrow in 25 minutes. I have no irritation on my lip and eyebrow, and minimal redness on my bikini area.

I will say, I've been getting professional waxes for years, and I think it helps to find someone you like, and watch their technique a few times. It makes it much easier when you try it yourself.

Also, I did heat the wax for an hour on high, then moved it to medium for 25 minutes before using. The wax was the perfect temperature. Be patient, it pays off!

Product Rating: 4 Watch out!!
Reviewer: Anna from San Diego, California, USA  Fri Aug 07 2009

Hi People,

I bought this product and I agree like the other reviews is great but it can burn. The wax that comes in this kit is not for sensitive skin so if you do intend on buying it for sensitive skin, I would recommend putting baby powder first on your face and then applying the wax. I agree Folica.com ships their products fast and sell great products.
Make sure when you buy this produt you buy extra strips for waxing as it runs out fast and this wax can not be removed with water. So all the sticks and strips have to be thrown away after use.

Product Rating: 5 Love it!
Reviewer: Sheila from Indianapolis, IN  Mon Jun 29 2009

Shipping was fast, I got it after 3 days. The Kit is worth my money. I love it. It's really easy to use. Just heat up the wax more than 30 minutes and it will be good to go. I'm glad I purchased it.

Product Rating: 5 AWESOME!!!!
Reviewer: Wish from Kansas  Wed May 27 2009

I am so glad i brought this product. Its worth every penny. If you are new to waxing at home then this is for you. i was nervous about waxing as my skin is sensitive but the wax that came with the kit leave my skin so silky smooth. i am so glad i brought this product and highly recommend to ladies who are new to waxing. Its a great starters kit at unbeatable price. Not to mention save you a lot of bucks compared to salons.i once went to salon and got full arm, leg and face waxing and it cost me over 200$. Next time instead brought this product along with epilating strip and have used it 3 times already for under 50$ with awesome results. Can it get any better. Love it !!!!

Product Rating: 5 WOW!

It is absolutely great and easy to use. I would suggest anyone. I am really pleased with this and really happy. It can also save you lots of money. Good investment.

Product Rating: 5 I was amazed. Excellent product!!
Reviewer: Kayla   Thu Apr 23 2009

I've been going to waxing salons for years now and spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars for people to do this for me. I was skeptical at first and wasnt sure if it would work or work well atleast but i said "what the hey, its cheap, ill give it a try." I was absolutly amazed when I got it!! It was sooo simple to use (like i said ive seen the techniques numerous times) virtually pain free and its all done in the privacy of my own home. I couldnt be more satisfied with this product. Dont ever waste all the $$$ at the salons again. No appointmens or tryin to be secretive around friends cause of embarresment. A special thanks to the maunfactures, I couldnt be happier!!!

Product Rating: 5 Love Love Love It!
Reviewer: Shannon from New Orleans, LA   Wed Apr 22 2009

I purchased this product and received it this past Monday, April 6th. I read the instructions which were very easy to follow and I am extremely happy with the results. I read the reviews before purchasing and several people complained that the wax took too long to heat up and that it was messy. I had no problem whatsoever with the wax taking too long to melt and didn't find it messy one bit. I have recommended this product to all my friends. I am not a professional and up til now, I would visit the local nail shop to get waxing done and this product pays for itself after just one use! Love it!!!

Product Rating: 5 So easy to use and no pain
Reviewer: Sara from San Jose, CA  Fri Apr 10 2009

I bought this kit to use for my face. The other reviewers that said their warmer took hours to heat up just seems bogus to me; because mine only took about 30 minutes to thoroughly heat up. The wax was perfect for removing my upper lip hair and shape my my eyebrows. I really love the wax residue remover too. I only had a tiny bit of residue left on my face but after using the residue remover there was no longer any sign of wax on my face and my skin didn't feel "sticky" like other brands of wax I have tried. I had no redness or soreness after either. I do agree with previous posters that said if you are waxing larger surfaces like your legs, you will need to buy additional wax strips since there are only enough for a few sessions. If you plan on using only on your face then it should last several months.

Product Rating: 5 It 's great!
Reviewer: Lily from PA  Wed Apr 08 2009

I got mine today ,It is great and worth the unbeatable price too. I normally go to salon which cost alot on long run.but now I am doing it myself .It heat up in around 45 mins with the lid on.which not that bad.And it have most of the thing you need.So if u look for a money saver and value .This the one!!

Product Rating: 4 Love it!
Reviewer: Heidi from CA  Mon Apr 06 2009

This is the first waxing kit I've ever purchased, and I am thrilled! The price is great, and it's so easy and effective to use. The honey wax spreads easily and removes hair very well with minimal pain. I am going to save SO MUCH MONEY by doing it myself. Seriously, a worthwhile investment.

Product Rating: 4 So happy I made this purchase...
Reviewer: Dawn   Sun Mar 29 2009

I am so happy with this purchase. I have been getting professional brow waxes/arch for years now. Recently my facialist changed her hours, and I found it difficult to find an appointment to fit my schedule. I also disliked always having to make appointments, so I decided that if this product worked - it would be so nice to do it at my convenience... one less thing I need to "schedule" in my life. This product has already paid for itself and I've only used it twice. Although it takes some patience, and it can be a little messy, I would highly recommend it. I just plug it in, wait for the wax to melt while I do other things, and then I get down to business. I've also used it for the bikini area - which I've never had professionally done before. Even if you just want something for occasional use (if you can't get to the salon) this is a bargain. I don't think the wax residue remover solution works very well, though, and I may look for a different one.

Product Rating: 5 I love this waxer!
Reviewer: Crystal   Mon Mar 23 2009

I recently bought this in the hopes of saving some money... by not having to go get my... and my daughters... eyebrows and lip waxed at a salon. The kit has already paid for itself! We've used it 3 - 4 times now with great results. We usually pick a day when my two daughters and myself plan to wax. I turn the machine on earlier in the day so that it will be ready for use when we're ready. No problems at all! We have gotten professional results using this kit. I'd recommend this to anyone!

Product Rating: 4 great product
Reviewer: Jamie   Fri Feb 27 2009

I purchased this product after realizing that the salon was too expensive!! I must say...because I've been to the salon many times, I'm familiar with their technique, which makes using the product easier. I was pleased with the quality and I think that the starter kit gives you everything you need for at home waxing. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
