This GiGi Brazilian wax kit really does have almost everything you need to do a successful Brazilian on your own. To start with what it comes with:
GiGi Brazilian Hard Wax (this is the same stuff they use at the salon)
GiGi wood sticks for spreading wax (when these run out, I'll just by popsicle sticks)
Gigi Pre-epilation oil
Gigi Post-wax cooling gel (this is *not* a wax remover)
Gigi Wax Warmer (the true value of the kit, comes with a warmer, plastic cover, and paper ring to put around the wax container so it doesn't drip onto the warmer)
Instructional DVD (meant for professionals and not super helpful to me)
I have gotten Brazilians in salons several times before and I can't speak enough to the benefits of hard wax over strip wax for that "area." Hard wax adheres to the hair, not the skin, so hurts MUCH less when pulling out (which is not to say it doesn't hurt, you're still pulling the hair out by the root). I once did a Brazilian to myself with those no-heat strip wax sets you can get at Walmart - OUCH. This is definitely better. I don't find the contortion too difficult - I put a towel down on my bed, lie down, put my knees up and do it that way.
Definitely use the pre-epilation oil which will ready your skin for the wax. The warmer does keep the wax at a good temperature - you set it to high at first and when the wax melts, move the setting to low. Once the wax melts, apply SMALL strips and make sure the wax is THICK -- this make it easier to remove. Also make sure you've trimmed the hair and make sure you work so that where you're pulling from (the "edge" so to speak) is relatively hair free. I found that if I tried to pull from an area where the wax was already sticking to hair (as opposed to bare skin), it would be much harder to get out and ended up breaking a lot of the hairs, rather than pulling them out. It's tough finding that perfect instant where the wax has cooled enough to pull off quickly and with little pain, but I did it a couple times, and I'm sure I'll get better at it. I tapped the wax with my finger until it was no longer sticky, counted to ten after than, and then pulled. You can get pretty much all the hair this way but it takes a little while - I may get faster once I've gotten the hang of this stuff.
The post-wax cooling gel actually burnt a bit, but afterwards I didn't have any redness or soreness. I wish Gigi included the Wax Off wax remover in this kit because that would have been really helpful -- you have to sort of pick the wax off if it cools too much, and wax remover would make things easier.
Overall, a great kit, they really do use it in salons (when I went in to get my eyebrows done, I checked!) and it works well. I definitely recommend it.

I have never given myself a brazilian wax but this product made it so easy. I could not have been happier with the results and it will end up costing less then repeat salon visits.
Yes, it was messy as I had no idea what I was doing and it took a long time but after some practice I know it will get much easier. The wax took longer to heat than I expected but no big deal.
Most importantly, it did not hurt like a salon visit. There was almost no pain and I could not believe it. I have never used hard wax before so maybe that is just a plus of the wax itself. Great stuff!
Follow the directions for best use.

The kit is complete. The wax is meant to be pulled off without muslin strips, that's why it doesn't come with them. To be honest, if you are planning on waxing yourself, it is difficult because of the pain and you probably will need help from a friend. My boyfriend helped me, and if he can do it, anyone can. It comes with a video that helps you if you are a novice.
The wax is super thick and pulls off everything. It is pretty easy, but I still believe you need additional hands to do it for yourself. Great value--endless waxes for less than the price of 1 bikini wax.

Amazing,
This is an amazing wax I have ever used. I used to go to salon for bikini wax with strips and it was so painful. And it is expensive at salon 1 visit is 40-50. Read more

Pays for itself in just one use!
Watch the DVD. It helps!
Give about 30-40 minutes for the wax to warm up on high, then alternate between low and medium during use. Read more
