KoluaWax Premium Waxing Kit for Women – Hot Melt Hard Wax Warmer for Hair Removal, Eyebrow, Bikini, Legs, Face, Brazilian Wax – Machine, 4-Pack Beads, Accessories, Peach Fuzz

Best waxing product I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried them all.
This is well worth the investment. After Sally Hansen “improved” the wax formula I had used for years, I needed something that actually worked. It will take some experimenting to get the temperature and consistency of the wax just right, but I’m pleased with the results from first use. The wax actually hardens and needs no additional application of paper to remove. It is not sticky at all after it cools, so no gluey mess to clean from hands and vanity from accidental drips and spills. Best of all, it doesn’t pull the skin! When I pulled the first bit away, I didn’t think it could have removed any hair at all, because I felt no stinging, no pulling, but on inspection, the wax was full of hair and the spot on my face wasn’t!

First time I could successfully wax myself
So this is the first time I have tried waxing myself in about 10 years-after the last microwave wax I tried didn’t worked well and I ended up getting a nasty burn. But, before that I’d try a new type of wax every few years (NADs, Honey waxing, Microwave wax) and it would work poorly. So, for the last few years I get waxed at a salon and don’t do it myself. But even with salons reopening with COVID, I didn’t feel that it was safe to spend an extended period time so close to someone who has to spend her time close to a lot of people’s faces in order to make a living-so I decided to try waxing myself again. After reading reviews online, I tried Kaluawax. Even after a few years of waxing I am a hairy girl (part Sicilian) and this worked. I liked that if you are new to waxing you can go over an area again (which I needed) and tutorials on the other famous blue wax brands webpage helped (apparently, like all other mammals, our hair grows in mostly a similar pattern and when you know that it’s easier to tell which direction yours is growing and where to vary it for wax placement). It also took more time and more wax than expected (but this is due to my lack of skill). If you are new, buy extra wax (more than you think you will need)-you will need it! The pink works well everywhere. I loved the blue not just for bikini, but for knees and lower legs. I thought the face wax was only good for peach fuzz (I might try it next time on the back of my thigh). It is the only wax I did not finish as I do not think it’s designed for most of the hair I wanted to remove. It did not remove my coarse facial hairs but the blue and pink wax both did. To do both full legs, half arms and bikini I went through the blue and pink in the sample, a second full bag of pink wax, a half of a full bag of the blue wax, a 4.2 ounce of another brand wax, and almost the entire 28.22 ounce bag of another brand wax. I am sure the amount is not entirely due to my level of hairiness and more because I’m still learning how to do it (otherwise I think if a salon had to use as much wax on me as I had to use they would lose money on me, lol). This wax is flexible and has an easy learning curve. And, unlike the other brand (where the learning curve was steeper), this worked pretty well before I watched the videos to improve the spreading technique ( when I was technically applying it incorrectly). Easy to remove parts that stick (due to user error of spreading too thin) with the post-wax which is mostly oil. I also used olive oil and just slathered and rubbed my legs (like they do at the salon) until all the wax pieces were gone. I wish the post-wax had more antiseptic ingredients for the bikini area to prevent folliculitis-due to this I probably will not repurchase the post -wax. The pre-wax was good, I used it let it dry and added baby powder before waxing. This is also the LEAST painful wax I’ve ever used (or had used on me-even though my regular waxer has great technique). Due to my lack of technique, funnily enough, the most sensitive areas were different than when professionally done. To Clean the machine, I Just slathered the whole thing in canola oil and rubbed it around to clean the wax strands that got stuck to it and it worked. The packaging is adorable and made me smile (even the refills come in a cute bag with cheeky sayings). I love the spreaders with the cute print and hibiscus; I wish they sold them separately. I also wish they sold an extra large spreader (I ended up also using tongue depressors).

So this will be a long review but I know that when I chose a product I read all the reviews beforehand so hopefully this helps some people in their decision to buy this product. I have got to say, as a woman who usually sees her esthetician once a month for bikini and every two weeks for underarm I am thoroughly impressed by this product. Due to Covid, with things being shut down a lot where I live, I am not able to see my esthetician as much as I would like, therefore needed to find a convenient alternative.Firstly, I learned the difference between hard and soft wax and hard wax BY FAR is sooo much better for my lady parts. This is my first time using hard wax and my first time doing my bikini area by myself and it went really well. I have used cheap wax with wax strips from the pharmacy and it was messy and painful.Here are the pros:1) literally one of the prettiest packages I have every opened from Amazon. Everything was packaged nicely (you get 4 packages of wax beads, the wax warmer, 2 oils, one for before waxing and one for after, both were amazing as far as keeping my skin super soft, and some sticks to lay the wax out with)2) It was virtually painless (as a side note I did have help from my husband – who has never waxed me before- for my underarms and areas I couldn’t reach for my bikini.) Once he read the instructions and a few trials as far as his pulling technique I literally did not feel it at all3) There is practically no clean up. The wax becomes hard and can easily be picked up and thrown in the garbage after use. The silicone in the base not only allows you to keep and reuse any unused wax but it is really easy to clean with soap and waterAs for the CONS..they are not so much negative aspects of the product more so learning curves about using the product1) You have to learn to adjust the temperature, so the wax beads heat up fairly easily but as you are waxing you have to adjust the heat as you go..as their is less and less wax it heats up faster therefore you have to lower the temp so as not to burn your skin (they suggest to keep between 130-150, I found 140 to be perfect for me) on the other hand if the wax thickens its because it is not hot enough and will not adhere to the hair properly so you must increase the temp first – should be honey like consistency at all times2) For me the biggest thing was learning how long to keep the wax on before removing. The wax hardens pretty quickly and for me about 30 seconds was the perfect amount of time to let the wax harden enough to where it pulled out all the hair one time. If I left it a little longer I found it a little harder to remove or it wouldn’t get every hair the first time. Best technique for me would be to lay it down and then tap my finger gently on it..if it was still quite wet I would wait a few secs if it was starting to dry and I could feel it being tacky (sticky) that would be perfect time to pull, anything after that the wax hardens completely and for me, would be harder to remove.All in all a very very good product, it has been two days since I used the product my skin is still silky smooth and no new hair growth as of yet. Great affordable alternative to getting waxed by a professional. Recommend 1000%

Decently surprised by this kit!I’m far from an experienced home waxer, so there’s definitely a learning curve, but that’s not the brands fault.The wax was great quality, sticks to the hairs and doesn’t become brittle as it cools. My only complaint is that there’s not enough wax. I used both packs of the all over wax, and that got me one armpit and maybe two half legs (not enough to do a second go to round up the leftover hairs. If you’re more experienced waxing I’m sure you’d get a bit more use off of it, but it’s definitely worth ordering extra beads right off the bat imo.Even though it claims to be scented, I was a bit underwhelmed… it’s more of a hard plastic smell, with a hint of whatever the scent is supposed to be…That being said, I am more sensitive to fumes and harsh smells, and that wasn’t an issue with these which I appreciate. I would rather they smell like the resin product they are and have good quality, than smell nice, but compromise on the quality.Overall good quality kit, will be buying more!
