Most Helpful Positive Review Been Using For 6+ years I have been using this product since probably 2014/2015 and never had problems. It works very well and I've definitely gotten much better at controlling it over the years.
The reviews that you are reading are clearly from newbies who have no idea what they're doing and are blaming the product. A few even mistook it for hard wax. It's NOT!
If you have the patience to learn to wax yourself, then you won't have problems w this. I genuinely believe any problems I've had w this product over the years have all been because of ME!
It takes practice to know how to wax and that's why you get charged so much when you go to a professional. You can't expect the product to preform its best when you're impatient and unskilled.
Most Helpful Critical Review DO NOT BUY THIS! I have used waxing as a hair removal method for YEARS! I am well aware of the do's/don't s and proper temperature. I have used the Gigi hard wax with NO issues ever! I got this tub for Christmas and decided to finally give it a try... BIG MISTAKE! It does not act like wax should, even with MINIMAL wax applied it is still too much and the muslin strips just peel off with excess wax. Applied a clean muslin strip and while it made the typical sound and sensations it only took 3-4 hairs. I did not continue this process. Wax Remover, Vaseline, Coconut Oil will NOT remove the leftover residue. And now I am sporting what appears to be missing layers of skin along with excruciating pain! Even in the one area that came off exactly as it should!

Carm from DFW
I see a lot of negative comments and suspect they were not familiar with how to wax. This product is great I use it on myself and my daughter.

Can I use it to remove e dead skin from my feet
Sticky 1
N. from Louisiana
I used the kit. I managed to get through one leg before having a panic attack. I am sticky. My leg is sticky, my hands are sticky, and nothing is working to get this off. This is one of the worst products I have ever used.
Smooth 5
Tabitha from Hawaii
I use the gigi warmer, it's perfect. The wax melts fast and works on the first pass. I use Azulene finishing oil which takes the extra wax off and leaves my skin smooth. Very easy. If you're new to home waxing it will take practice.

DM from Vero Beach, FL - 32962
gave me horrible chemical burn all over my legs, stings for at least 48 hours after, and is a pain to get off even w the wax off cream. mind you the wax was on the lowest setting my wax warmer had. it gets the hair off but it'll burn your skin the process.

Not good at all 1
Shay from Texas
I used a lot of wax but this hurt my skin, I feel it's burning after and I can't remove wax residue from my face. I hate it.
This isn't hard wax 5
Anonymous from MA
I was reading a lot of reviews of people giving this wax one star and THEY ARE USING IT WRONG. THIS IS NOT HARD WAX. It doesn't harden or dry. You need to use strips. It does the job perfectly fine.
Terrible 1
So bad from Florida
It removed the hair but it wouldn't harden and really hurt my skin
Meh 3
Yit from Us
I used the Miss Cire wax hard wax which is really great!! But pricey so decided to try this. Is does the job alright not bad, but unlike other waxes it leaves hair behind and on arm pits its so hard doing it and i always wax my pits.
Works great if you use it right 5
Frans from USA
I've been using this to wax my legs which my leg hair used to be coarse and thick but less so since Ive been waxing. The key is heating up the wax to where it is runny so that you can spread it thin. If you add too much wax it won't come off with the strip. Because the wax is sticky you can use each strip (I use muslin) a couple times without adding more wax, just apply it to another spot and rub it on then pull it off.
I wouldn't recommend this. 2
Linda from Los Angeles, CA
Overall not good, I only managed to get one strip working functionally, and even then it was not ideal.
Complete Disaster 1
Sticky Sally from Macon, GA
It wasn't removing the way it was supposed to do as I tried to wash it off my legs I just ended up sticky everywhere. I couldn't touch my phone cause my hands were sticky. It took me several hours to scrape off what I could then practically soaking me leg in olive oil forever to get the rest of what I could. This is the worst thing I have ever experienced and I wouldn't wish it on my enemies. For the love of all that is good in this world, don't use this unless you 10000% know what you're doing.
DO NOT BUY Would give 0 stars 1
Sydney from NJ
I'm used to used hard wax pellets and with Gigi's brand name I would have expected an amazing product. However with this product I am horrified by its results
I warmed it up to the correct consistency and layered it on the skin as I have for several years prior and it would not rip off the skin. The wax would just break off into pieces. Couldn't get the wax off of my face so after 20 minutes of soaking with oil on my face I was able to rub most of it off. Would not recommend.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!! 1
Whatever you do don't buy this. from Lv
I've waxed for a while, worked in a salon for two years, learned the basics, and started waxing at home. This product took 30 minutes to warm up (on high in the Gigi wax warmer). I applied one small strip and waited. It wasn't too thick, but despite everything I did, it never dried. I was stuck with this on my body for over an hour, desperately trying to get it off. It stuck everywhere and never dried. The wax off didn't do anything to it so I poured half a bottle of baby oil on it and scrubbed for ten minutes and thank god it came off. I immediately threw it in the trash. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS.
I won't buy this again 1
Helen from New Jersey
I used it yesterday and it was good at removing the hair but it didn't pull some of the hair. Today my body is having allergies because elf the product.My body gives reaction when the product is disgusting and yes I have allergies (reaction) now and some parts of my body is red but it looks like a scar and it hurts so bad. The thing is my body is not sensitive and if it gives reaction the product is really bad. It's not worth it go buy another brand.
I don't suggest buying 1
Lexi from Las Vegas
This wax stuck to my face when I tried to rip it off. No matter what kind of material I used to take off the wax it still stayed. It didn't take off much hair at all and was a complete waste of money. Just wanted to let you potential buyers know.
Good product 5
Cee from San Diego
I'm a licensed esthetician and use this wax for large areas like legs and arms and it works great. It's a soft wax so of course it's going to be messy and make sure it's spread thin or else it will be difficult to take off hair without pulling some skin.
Gets the job done but MESSY 3
Kristen from CA
I have been waxing at home for almost a year but this was my first time trying this product. I normally use hard wax but I ran out and didn't want to pay $25 for a small bag of beads at Ulta so I opted for this. While this wax gets the job done quickly and efficiently, it is EXTREMEMLY messy! God help you if you get this on clothing, hair, or carpet. I inevitably got some on my hands while waxing and it took me 4 coatings of baby oil to finally get it all off. I would definitely not recommend this for a first time waxer or you are going to have a bad time.
Super good! 5
gg from Il
So easy to use, love it! Used it with parissa epilation strips.
REALLY MESSY 2
Reneeab from Appleton wi
This stuff is really messy I mean I expected it because well hot wax but this was extremely sloppy no matter how it was heated. I also have a lot of bruising and even welts!! I've never had this happen before I would have been better off shaving.
100% RECOMMEND 5
CristalMarlene from Compton ca
Love this wax, I totally recommend it. It's affordable and a really great product. This container lasts A really long time.
I love this wax 5
Natasha from New York
I use it to do a full at home brazilian wax. I also wax my armpits. I do not use the strip. I started using this product a few years ago with the starter kit. I warm the wax on the high setting once it warms up i put it on the lowest setting for a few minutes. When I start waxing I use the medium setting. It leaves me so smooth.
Didn't like this product 3
Jess from Bakersfield, CA
This wax was very messy. I tried to use at different temperatures with no success. The wax didn't stick to the strips properly. I loved GiGi hard wax, I'm going back to that.
