4.0 out of 5 stars Finally - a bikini wax product that is easy to use and works!
We spend a lot of time at the beach, so I am frequently in need of bikini waxing (I get a partial Brazilian).

I find salon waxing to be expensive, time-consuming and painful.

I read about the Parissa wax strips in a magazine, and ordered a kit.

They are easy to use, reasonably-priced, and I found them to be much less painful than...

3.0 out of 5 stars Only works on face
This has been working great at removing upper lip hair. However it doesn't get anything from my bikini. I don't know what I could be doing wrong, and yet it simply just doesn't get the hairs down there. Oh well, at least it works for my face.

We spend a lot of time at the beach, so I am frequently in need of bikini waxing (I get a partial Brazilian).

I find salon waxing to be expensive, time-consuming and painful.

I read about the Parissa wax strips in a magazine, and ordered a kit.

They are easy to use, reasonably-priced, and I found them to be much less painful than hot wax.

True, it takes longer because the strips are small, and the more difficult-to-reach or see regions are kind of tough to get to, but I will be using these when I just can't get to the salon or am too lazy to. Being able to finally do this relatively easily in the comfort of my own home was a big plus.

I recommend the Parissa Face & Bikini Strips highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, January 18, 2007
This review is from: Parissa Quick And Easy Wax Strips Face and Bikini 16 Strip(s) (Health and Beauty)
I have tried many different hair removal methods, and different products within the same method and this is my favorite. The wax strip is clear so you can see where you are placing it, what areas it will cover and such. Also, it comes with the lovely soothing oil which removes any excess wax. I would recomend this highly

5.0 out of 5 stars face waxing, December 22, 2006
By 
GATITAxCHICANA (San Pancho, Califas) - See all my reviews
these strips are the same (only smaller, a lot smaller) than the regular parissa wax strips. this wax is great, removes unwanted hair and the oil included helps remove any left-over wax. I cut each strip diagonally and I can use half for one upper-lip side and the other for the other side :)

**they can be found cheaper on other websites by the way

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough wax on the strips, dissapointed, March 14, 2011

I had previously tired the same brand, but larger strips for legs. These little strips do not contain as much wax on them as the leg ones. So, I will go back to the leg ones and just cut them to use on my chin/lip. Dissapointed, as the size is perfect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, at best., June 4, 2008
I had hoped for more... I didn't feel like this product was really anything special. Having tried various drug store pickups I didn't feel like this was really anything different. Not a bad product but not a great product by any means.

1.0 out of 5 stars AWFUL, May 30, 2011
This review is from: Parissa Quick And Easy Wax Strips Face and Bikini 16 Strip(s) (Health and Beauty)
This was my first attempt at waxing myself and I can't say that it has paid off ... yet. I read a ton of great reviews about Gigi but opted for Parissa because they were cheaper and more "natural". The bikini wax kit does absolutely nothing. No hair came off whatsoever and to try to clean up is difficult as nothing gets this wax off of your skin except the ENTIRE bottle of oil. I am pretty disappointed... going to have to try a different brand or just give up altogether.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly easy and fast!, June 11, 2010

This review is from: Parissa Quick And Easy Wax Strips Face and Bikini 16 Strip(s) (Health and Beauty)
I tried the bikini/face wax strips on a whim, and I was happily surprised by how easy it was.

There are plenty of strips to do a bikini line pretty thoroughly once--depends on how good you get at it. It was easy to warm up the strips with just the heat of my hands (as instructed) and pull apart and start ripping. I expected more pain, but it was not bad at all.

I did end up pre-trimming some areas to about 1/8"-1/4" in some areas to help with the effectiveness, but, considering this was my first time trying any product like this one, it turned out great! I'm sure my technique will improve each time, and it only took five minutes. It comes with "Azulene Oil," and the little bottle is PLENTY enough for the amount of strips you get (16). It does get rid of any left-over stickiness as well.

This was my first time ever attempting to wax my own bikini line, and I am very pleased with the ease, intuitiveness and effectiveness of this product right from the start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A home hair removal product that works., July 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Parissa Quick And Easy Wax Strips Face and Bikini 16 Strip(s) (Health and Beauty)
I have been getting my brows waxed professionally for years. I decided to try these strips to try to save a little money vs. going to the salon. I was very skeptical, but these strips really work! Just follow the instructions and they work as well as salon waxing. My brows look just as good as when the 'pros' do it. The directions say you can even re-use the strips and that is true - I used two strips to wax both brows and the upper lip. Great product, will be buying more and recommending to others.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not wax lyrical, September 17, 2010
This review is from: Parissa Quick And Easy Wax Strips Face and Bikini 16 Strip(s) (Health and Beauty)
I bought this because it seemed to be the most popular brand (although I stand to be corrected on this). I found the wax too thin to remove hair effectively. I am used to the brand Veet which is sold in Europe. Veet has thicker wax on its strips and works really well but I haven't been able to find it in the US. I won't be buying this Parissa brand again.
