KoluaWax Premium Waxing Kit for Women - Hot Melt Wax Warmer for Hair Removal, Eyebrow, Bikini, Legs, Face, Brazilian Wax & More - Machine + 4-Pack Hard Wax Beads + Accessories, Black

I am a long time waxer, and have been struggling since my old waxing gal retired. I got this kit to do maintenance myself until I decide what I want to do long term. The kit comes with the warmer, several trial sized bags of different wax, two kinds of spatulas, and the before and after sprays. I used this for the first time and found it very easy to use, although I put the heat on too low at first. My wax took forever to warm up and cooled too quick. The beads melted much easier when I put the temp up to about 200 and backed it down to about 155 once it was about half melted. I found the wax itself easy to use, and was surprised at how it didn’t hurt as much as I expected. The before and after sprays worked well also. The results were nice and I will continue to use this brand honestly - I loved the products, clear instructions, and find it affordable. If you need a starter kit or just want to experiment doing some treatments yourself - highly recommend this kit.

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!

I bought the Kuola wax and waxing kit. I have never waxed at home with melted wax (just the pre-made strips). This was easy, I set it at the temp I wanted, 158 degrees and it took about 15 minute's to melt half a bag of beads. On playing with it I realized it cools quickly so I should have done a higher temp to melt it faster like the instructions suggested. My bikini area hurt too much to finish, I got half way and stopped. But my legs didn't have much pain at all and all the hair came up. I am not patient enough for this, it's a slow process. I would do multiple areas away from each other, leaving enough space to do between the next time; this helped but it was still a full bag of beads (3.5oz is what comes with it) and I only did the bottom half of one leg, my underarms and half my biking area. Works great though, just takes time.

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).
