I am very happy with this wax warmer kit. It came with everything I needed to get started, including the wax warmer, wax beads, wax sticks (popsicle sticks), and pre and post wax spray. I purposely did not shave my underarms because I wanted to test it out myself, and I was really pleased with how well it worked. The wax beads heated up pretty quickly, so I did not have to wait long to use it. I am a beginner when it comes to waxing, but the instructions were easy to follow and everything felt pretty straightforward. I was able to wax my underarms in a short amount of time and remove all the hair without burning my skin, which was my biggest concern. Overall, this was a great purchase and I would definitely recommend it, especially for beginners who want an easy at home waxing option. Read more
What an unexpected surprise!!! This kit was super easy to use. Once I unpacked it and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, I was amazed at how easy, fast, and comfortable it was to use this great waxing system. I am a very light blonde female and for my first attempt, I was only going to do my sideburns, cheeks, mustache and eyebrows, so I used 1/2 pack of beads. I put the unit on a disposable chux pad, put the beads in the melting pot, put the cover on and turned the dial to the highest temp, as stated in the directions. I checked at 5 minutes and they werenโt melted enough, so I checked every minute to know when they were the right consistency. At 10 minutes they were perfect, a very few beads looked unchanged but with a little stir the wax was a thick, honey consistency. I lowered the temp to 140ยฐ and started. I did the temp test on my inner wrist to make sure it wasnโt too hot. Iโve waxed twice at home before, with the amber colored block of wax, but Iโm by no means a pro. While the wax was melting I washed and dried my face, and used the Pre-Wax spray included with the kit. I applied the wax to clean, dry skin at the sideburns first. According to the directions, I applied the wax in the direction of the hair growth, in a THICK layer (about the thickness of a US nickel worked best for me) and waited until it was no longer tacky. I didnโt use the cloth strips, but if you do, youโd put it on top of the wax immediately after the wax is in place. After about 15 seconds, I lifted an edge and pulled away from the direction of hair growth and voilร ! All hair gone in one shot!!! Any wax residue came off by either patting the used wax strip to the little bit left over or, the oily After Treatment spray will also help remove residual wax. Next I did eyebrows, checks and mustache, with plenty of wax leftover for the next use! Thereโs a very handy little drip bar across the top of the melting pot which helps to reduce mess from dripping wax. There was very little discomfort, even in those sensitive areas like sideburns and upper lip. I highly recommend this kit- easy to use, quality wax (much better than the amber wax), relatively pain free, completely self contained and cost effective. Iโm really impressed with this little gadget, and if it only works once, itโs already paid for itself at $23.99! At a salon, eyebrows would have been $15, lip $10, sideburns and cheeks $25, not including a tip. Itโs Absolutely worth trying it! It really is easy for a beginner and Iโm looking forward to using it in other areas. Read more
This product was really great. It provides a number of different types of wax to use, sticks, gloves, before and after spray and directions. I am not a pro in any manner. I followed the directions and it was great that they share the consistency and thickness that the wax should be at in order to have the best results. The spray helped a lot and the tip to test it first is great as well to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction. Please make sure you have enough hair to wax as you may not get the results you want. In following the directions I got great results and it was very smooth. It says that the results last for 6 weeks. When I got this done by a professional I always went back monthly. So if this gives me an extra 2 weeks that would be great. Some tips that I found can be helpful for my next session is to put paper towel or cardboard under the area you are waxing. This helps if any wax falls it will not ruin anything. The other tip is to do small areas and areas that are not so sensitive first. When applying you want to pull in the opposite direction that your hair is growing and create a lip in that area too so it is easier for you to grip and pull. This will hurt less as well. If you have an residual wax the after oil spray will help with removing that and it is really soothing. I am really sensitive and this helped to soothe my skin after I waxed. Read more
Purchased in September 2023. The BLITZWAX Waxing Kit has some good features, but also a few downsides. The wax warmer heats up quickly, and the digital temperature control is convenient and easy to use. I also liked that the kit includes everything you need, such as wax beads, applicators, strips, and pre- and after-wax sprays. However, I didnโt like that the wax is extremely stringy, which can make it messy and harder to work with, especially during application. This took away from the overall experience. Overall, itโs a decent kit with useful accessories and fast heating, but the texture of the wax could be improved. Read more
