Most Helpful Positive Review Best Wax This hard wax is my absolute favorite. It looks beautiful, smells nice, and is very effective. Ignore the reviews that say it's hard to pull! That only happens if the temperature of your wax is too cool and you're using way too much. If you're planning on doing hard waxing at home long-term, invest in a pot/warmer!! It will make your life much easier!
Most Helpful Critical Review Patchy and Doesn't Work! I have long, dark arm hair I wanted desperately to get rid of (I am ethnic for anyone wondering). I thought this would be a pain-free, easy solution. So many problems with this that I'll be returning it:
- ngl the smell and color are kind of nice
- The wax took forever in the microwave to warm up, and it's 1200 W. Yes I bought/used the mug from Wakse.
- 5 minutes after I took it out of the microwave, I had to try and reheat it because the wax had gotten cold.
- When I put it on my arm for application, it solidified super fast, not enough for a good application.
- Upon ripping it off, it would only pick up about 60% of the hairs (on average -- sometimes more than others, sometimes nothing at all!) and in all kinds of directions.
I compared this stuff to the pre-made wax strips I normally use, and the strips got rid of about 90% of the hair (compared them between arms). Really wanted to like it, but just can't bring myself to. Use your money for a legitimate wax warmer and better beads, if anything.

I bought the gold beads with the silicone warmer in hopes to start waxing underarms at home since shaving is tedious. The warmer gets so hot you'll probably burn yourself, I about did. The wax melted quickly and nicely but again, I couldn't even hold the warmer I had to wrap it in a towel to keep from burning my hands. Even once I got the wax to the recommended "honey" consistency, it didn't go well. I did a test strip on my hand before committing to my underarm and the wax was very stringy making a mess. It took a while to dry and once I pulled it off there was tiny bits of leftover wax on my hand which is still there and won't come off. After that I didn't bother applying to underarm and torturing myself. Overall, very stringy, sticky, and hard to use. Will be returning and trying another product.
Wakse wis always my goto at home hard wax! Simple and clean 5
Chaille kim from Valencia ca
I do recommend purchasing a was warmer for wakse if you wax at home often. The microwaveable cup they sell works great but more convenient to have a unit at home for easier use.
This is the best wax I've tried 5
Stefania from Detroit
This is great for a Brazilian, armpits, and even facial hair. This heats up pretty quickly and once applied, cools fairly quickly. You're not waiting around for it to cool. It picks up all the hair you need. It also smells wonderful. It can be a little stringy when applying, but is really easy to clean up.
New Favorite Wax 5
Gloria from West Palm Beach, Florida
I was very pleased with this product, removed hair easily & quickly. The metallic gold color looks so pretty when melted.
Don't get this color 1
Sarah from Boulder, Colorado
Every other color/scent from this brand works fine but this one SUCKS!! I wish I could get a refund! The other colors and scents pull away easily and and remove hair nicely. The gold one is terrible! It looks so pretty and smells nice but it's so sticky and stretchy! The best one in my opinion is the rose gold, it hardens nicely and you don't even need to use baby powder or anything. This one is bad, very very disappointing.

Hard to remove 1
Ymo from Southern California
Gets stuck on skin. Becomes stretchy and difficult to remove. I've been using hard wax for over a year and this is the only brand that this has happened with.
I highly recommend... 5
Julia from Washington DC
I've been waxing my self for the past 10 years now and by far this is the most gentle yet efficient wax I have ever used and I have tried other brands of hard wax as well but there's just something different about this brand. Definitely will purchase more
I give it 10/10 5
Dina from New Jersey
Yess finally a wax that doesn't break me out! I used it on my chin and underarms and it worked amazing I can't wait to buy more!
Love it! 5
Melissa from Dallas tx
I have tried everything in the market and by far this is the best product I have ever used! Removes hairs like a dream and it smells just like pineapple! Just like anything follow all directions carefully otherwise it won't work for you

Love the pineapple scent 5
Kay from USA
Love this product, I have never had any problems with it and it works perfectly in both the microwave and in a wax warmer. There is a application stick in the container that you have to dig out first. The pineapple scent masks the gross wax smell that I can't stand which make it 100 times better for me.
