Customer Reviews of GiGi Mini Pro Waxing Kit
Customer Review: Not enough products
Summary: 4 Stars
I have wanted to try self waxing for quite some time. I decided to go with this kit by reccomendation of my local beauty supply store. The kit was expensive but had I bought all the items seperatly it would have been alot more. If I don't use all the products included then is it really a deal? The warmer is great but I have to leave it on high to be affective, even though it says you can turn it down to low after it heats up. The cream wax is supposed to be for an all purpose use and for sensitive skin which is what I need. However I'm not sure if it is lack of experience or the wax but it only took a few of the hairs not all of them. I tried on my chin and underarms with the same results. I will try a different wax.
Another thing is the kit does not come with baby powder or anything to remove the wax. Now had I read these reviews first I would have tried oil instead I tried witches hazel to remove the excess "glue" from "down there". Do I need to explain how bad that burned? It was like Icy Hot.
So GIGi use your product to see what we do and don't need...we need powder and wax remover for our skin and I think a different wax I mean why not put your best most reliable wax in this mini professional kit right!
Customer Review: Where have you been all my hairy life!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product!!!! I still have a ways to go before I am a full on pro at this. I mean I have areas with hair still on them but that is because I wasn't all the uniform with my technique since this is my first time every using this, however, I will now be able to do this. It was awesome seeing the hair just come right off. I've tried kits in the past (microwavable ones) that just didn't work and I always ended up taking huge bits of skin off or something but this doesn't do that. It just removes the hair and that is that. I'm going to buy the 40 yard muslin roll and I think I will be all set. The only thing I can't do is my own back but this product is great and it really works. I feel like I can do this now!!!! I would recommend having more muslin on hand because what comes in the kit isn't enough if you are doing legs, arms, bikini etc... in one sitting. I would also recommend picking up some wax residue remover for the skin and pre clean to clean the skin off along with the oil that keeps the wax from sticking to the skin. I agree with others who said that stupid concealer is useless and that is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Good luck!!!Customer Review: GiGi Wax Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, I love the GiGi Mini Pro Kit. It is amazing to own one. I don't have time or money to go get my legs, arms, face, and bikini, waxed on a day to day or week to month visit. I also like waxing in the privacy of my own home. Since waxing with the GiGi I have notice that my leg hair takes 3 weeks to a month to grow back. When my hair starts growing back it is very thin and you can barely see the hair on my legs.
When I first started using this Kit it was messy and unfamiliar. As I kept using it, it got easier to use and less messy. When wax gets all over my GiGi I wait for it to cool down and then I wash it with soap water and a scrubber to get all the wax off. Then it's nice and clean. I also recommend buying a bigger bottle of wax remover. This kit comes with a mini wax remover but I say get more, the wax does get all over your hand and then you have different things sticking to your legs and hands.
I really enjoy my GiGi and I also recommend it to anyone who wants to wax in the privacy of their own home.
Customer Review: all good, except for the wax!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good starter kit - I appreciated the tips in previous reviews about needing baby powder and wax off. Needing wax off is an understatement! The wax is like nothing I've ever seen in my life . . . to get it off me (everywhere else is another story) it took the wax off, and several rub downs with olive oil, and then a shower to be completely free of residue. I really think that the particular wax that comes with this kit is particularly awful. I threw it out and am looking forward to using the kit with a better wax. I didn't have much use for any of the other little bottles of stuff that came with the kit (except the sure clean, which I used most of in my first clean up!).
I think if I had it to do again, I would just buy the wax warmer, a GOOD wax, & the linen strips separately. And use baby powder and safflower oil from the local stores.
Best of luck! I love the waxing effects (softness, no stubble, no daily shaving . . . . but, it does hurt like ____!)
Customer Review: Do you have four hands?
Summary: 4 Stars
Full disclosure: I am admittedly a complete novice at waxing myself.
So I bought this because I was tired of spending $50 on bikini waxes. The kit has almost everything you'll need for a full-on bikini wax, but not quite. To do this, you'll need in addition:
Baby powder
Wax off (for skin, not surface)
Four hands
I would have rated it 5 stars but I feel that the powder and wax removing lotion should have been included. Maybe in place of the concealer? It's this grey-brown makeup type stuff, I just don't see how it would work for anyone's skin tone and is rather arbitrarily included. FYI, the Cool-off gel burns like the dickens if there are any cuts or if your skin is abraded from the wax. And I couldn't figure out exactly where to put the resting bars. But I think with practice and those extra tools, it'll work perfectly!
