The GiGi Brazilian Waxing Kit is an easy-to-use, professional grade, at-home waxing kit that works to help remove both coarse and fine hairs.
GiGi has been one of the leading hair removal brands in spas and salons since 1972. The brand's at-home Brazilian Waxing Kit is an all-in-one waxing kit specially formulated to remove even the thickest hairs on your bikini line, while still being gentle enough to use on sensitive areas like your face and underarms.
Each waxing kit comes with a wax warmer, 14 ounces of hard wax, pre-epilation oil, post-wax cooling gel, 10 petite applicators, 10 small applicators, 10 large applicators, and yes, even an instructional DVD. There are no muslin cloth strips as this is a hard wax, so you just pull the strip of wax to remove hair.
The no-strip hair removal system is easy to use and provides a spa-quality wax every time. The hard wax's main ingredients consist of soybean oil to help protect skin and olive oil to soothe and hydrate the skin throughout the hair removal process. After waxing, you'll be hair-free for weeks, though that window depends on how fast your hair grows.
The brand also recommends exfoliating the skin 48 hours after using the product to help prevent ingrown hairs.
The kit has a 3.9 out of 5-star rating on Amazon with more than 3,200 reviews. Some shoppers complained of the kit arriving damaged or with leaking wax — which is impossible to clean up — but others say their kits arrived just fine. Note that you'll also have to wait around 30 minutes for the solid chunk of wax to melt down before application, though some people said they waited two hours.
One reviewer wrote, "This waxing kit has changed my life when it comes to removing body hair! It keeps the wax warm during the whole application and it comes with wooden spatulas and even a DVD. It can be messy for beginners but practice makes perfect, and this kit is worth a few trials! I highly recommend this kit if you want to get rid of your hair in the privacy of your house, at so little cost!"
When you run out of the wax, you can simply purchase a replacement container for $8.96 and continue to use the rest of the kit.
Pros: All-in-one kit, works on many skin and hair types, professional-grade hair removal
Cons: On the pricier side of at-home kits, can be messy, shoppers complained of damaged packaging
