Ladies, there has been a secret I have been dying to let you in on. This is one of the best lifetime investments I made till date. Its the GIGI Waxing kit. This is a product I invested in 2009 and it has been serving me well ever since.
I purchased it at Sally’s but you can find it at Amazon. Did I hear you say Amazon Prime to the rescue? Absolutely, but before we get to that, I will be spilling more deets.
There are many types of waxes to choose from depending on your color or scent preference. Listed below are some of my favorite.
WHAT’S IN THE KIT
- Wax Warmer, 14 oz
- Brazilian Body Hard Wax, 14 oz
- Pre Epilation Oil, 2 oz
- Post Wax Cooling Gel, 2 oz
- 10 Petite Applicators
- 10 Small Accu Edge Applicators
- 10 Large Accu Edge Applicators
- Brazilian Waxing Instructional DVD
APPLICATION
The kit is so easy to use.
- Whenever I am ready to wax and after I plug in the warmer with the wax in it, I move the knob to H (hot) & it takes 15-20 minute to melt when its a new wax or 5-10 minutes to melt as the wax reduces and it is ready for use.
- I take one of the wax sticks and apply it on the area of choice.
- Then I take the cloth/roll, lay it on the area, rub for 30 sec to a min and then strip 🙂
I received the All Purpose Honee hard wax with my purchase in 2009 and I am still using it. I recommend any of the All Purpose wax as they work on all part of the area without causing sensitivity.
In Dec 2015, I purchases the Espresso All Purpose Honee Hard Wax and I am yet to open it as the current wax isn’t finished. It is comforting to know I have backup 🙂
WAXING TIPS
- Wax ONLY when you have time to kill. I wax on Saturday mornings.
- Pre-waxing put some baby powder on to serve as a barrier between the wax & your skin.
- Post-wax, I rub the area with alcohol based sprays. Victoria Secrets sprays are perfect!
- Once you run out of waxing sticks, you can purchase Popsicle Sticks on Amazon.
- I could never wax my public area. I am just not that bold …. lol. I prefer to use the Nair Hair Remover Lotion – Aloe and Lanolin for all my downtown business 🙂
WHY I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT
- Its the exact kit used at salons & nail shops; they just conceal with foil. Yes, I looked.
- Over time, hair starts to thin out which means less frequent waxing. I only wax every 2-3 months now because the hair doesn’t grow as fast and it isn’t coarse (bushy). #Goals
- The previous point is why I don’t like using shaving cream on areas with heavy growth.
- The wax consistency is great & it adheres to hairs well meaning you only have to strip once in that area.
- It is easy to store without taking up too much space; I put mine in my towel closet.
- This product is not messy at all plus you get to become a pro over time.
- Finally, it saves a ton of money.
SAVINGS ANALYSIS (BASED ON WAXING ONCE A MONTH)
- Eye brows cost $8-10
- Annual Savings $120
- Over 9 years, I saved $1,080
- Projected life time savings (60 years) $7,200
- Underarm waxing $15-25.
- Annual savings $300
- Over 9 years, I saved $2700
- Projected lifetime savings (60 years) $18,000
Please note this analysis and projected lifetime savings is based on one individual. Now think of your sister(s), mother, friends, co-workers, neighbors, colleagues and now think of the money these businesses makes off you all by investing in this single product that only cost $42.48 on Amazon. Click here for link to purchase. Now you see why I said it is one of the best lifetime investments I have made? Yet, I only use this to shave my underarms, eyebrows and legs.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this product for those of you that have used it, seen it at salons and/or have heard about it. Is this something you would like to purchase? If yes, why haven’t you? What’s holding you back?
I event think this is an excellent gift idea. For those of us that love to stay under a $50 gift budget? We know ourselves and I think you girlfriends, colleagues or relatives will love it.
If you like to see a video showing how to use this, please share in the comment section and if more than 10 people state that, I will make a video and also give one as a gift to a lucky winner.
Until next time.

Looks like a really great product! Yes please make a video showing how to use it. Thank you.
Thanks for letting the world know about this awesome sounding product!
The pleasure is all mine! 🙂
The Gigi Waxing Kit seems so cool. Great product to try! I should buy soon.
Thank you for this wonderful review. You have confirmed my suspicions on what the salons use! Tee-hee … I wonder if the have a version where the person who waxed is included. ☺️ Really appreciate you outlining the cost savings. 👍🏼 It makes so much sense to do it myself!
Ah! The underarms would get me, too. It seems so sensitive there, but I love the idea of baby powder before waxing. Great tip!
This looks like a wonderful kit! I’ve always been afraid to use wax, but it looks like it is becoming easy and less painful these days.
I have this exact one at home and it’s the best thing ever! It makes home waxing super easy and convenient. 🙂
It sure does doesn’t it?!
Oh this looks really great, I like how it is the one used in salons that is a great selling point as i would trust it. I also love how you did a break down on the savings it could give.
Thank you!
Oh I never knew that this brand has wax kits too . I will try it this time as my current wax kit is about to finish . Thanks for the suggestion.
Let me know how you like the new one!
It is so nice to see that you have invested in this wax product for years woow! But I can get it, it is such a nice product. Anyway, the waxing tips come in handy for a fact. Waxing can take years so it really important to dedicate enough time for the activity.
I had no idea that you could do this at home with a kit. Thanks for posting this informational post with all the information organized and laid out!
I have had my GIGI waxing kit for a few years now and I have never had an issue with it. Even my esthetician friend has 2 of these for her business.
Neither have I and thanks for your feed back 🙂
This looks like a great product to invest in! Though I’ve never tried waxing by myself as I don’t have the courage to remove the roll by myself…lol! I totally agree with the savings and maybe it is a right time for me to take a plunge and prepare myself for it!
Just do it! 🙂
Oh man I need this, and the pricing is great.
I never though about investing in my kit. Thanks for the information. I’ll have to look into it.
I hope you do and please share your thoughts. Good luck!
I hope you do!
This sounds great! I wish I could wax my legs at home, it would make life so much easier. I’ll have to save up for one of these kits.
This sounds like a really fab product! Although it’s a tad pricey, there’s so much included! I wish I had the willpower to wax at home, I just cant make myself do it!
When you think of the lifetime savings, I think it is quite affordable as I could spend more than that buying dinner for myself. Thanks for stopping by.
Sounds like this can put a lot of companies out of business. A must buy for those who want to look their best!
Hahaha, especially those that charge ridiculous prices!
That looks like a cool product; easy to use, easy to store and efficient. Thank you for sharing it!
Wow! That’s a huge savings! I had a neighbor a few years ago who had this kit and loved it. She did my eyebrows all the time. I really need to get one of these!
It is definitely worth the savings!
In my opinion there is no better epilation than wax. Unfortunately I can’t use it anymore since I have varicose veins, but I used to love a good waxing.

I am sorry to hear that. Thanks for stopping by!
If we could only make it painless. LOL
Hahahaha, that’ll be awesome!
I have never waxed at home I always go to the salon. I always wanted to try but get a bit nervous. This looks like a kit that would be simple love that is easy access at Sally’s
Yes it is. I do notice things are on the high end at Sally’s but it is a grate way to checkout what you intend to purchase.
This is one of my favorite thing I have purchased. I have been using it for last three years and it is worth every penny I spent. I use this to wax after every three to four weeks and it works as good as new.
Yes, I am so glad you posted your experience. Thanks for stopping by!
Isn’t it fantastic when you find a product that works really well for you. This isn’t something I could ever see myself trying though, I’m a bit old school. 🙂
do you know I’ve never had a wax! I think I need to try it x
I hope you try it…. you may just love it!
Thank you for the recommendation. Didn’t know there were all those aromatic options. And great advice using baby powder before waxing.
I enjoyed reading your article, I’ve been thinking of buying this, but I’m still not sure if I will keep using it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am glad my post made you think about it again!
Not sure if I could really trust myself to do a wax on myself haha! I am so clumsy. But I love the lavender one if I did
Yes, I am definitely eyeing that Lavender one too!
Why have I been missing out on this? All those features and benefits you laid out got me sold. Easy on the budget, long term, it has everything. Thumbs up for this waxing kit!
Thanks Esme!
this kit looks like ultimate solution for unwated body hair. I need this waxing kit in my life.
I think this sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing
It would be great to see a video of it, I have never had waxing done since it just sounds painful and I am terrified of ripping my skin off.
Omg I sooo wanna get Brazilian waxes but I am terrified also because they can be pricey. I love saving money and you just made me so intrigued!
I got a Brazilian wax once and I told myself never again. Hahahaha… I am glad your are intrigued and hope you check this out to wax other areas though.
I think it’s well worth investing on one. It’s a lifesaver.
It most certainly is.
Might need to give this a try!
I hope you do!
This sounds like a great product, it would save so much on salon visits.
Yes, indeed!
The products look amazing, but for me, I have never waxed myself before. If it is as simple as it sounds, I might give it a try. I usually wax my eyebrows every 6 – 8 weeks. Could be worth it to try and save some coins.
Yes, I think it will be helpful to invest and you can wax other areas yourself too. Plus the more you wax the thinner the hair grows in those areas which means less frequent waxing.
Thanks for the review … I wax every few weeks so this could be perfect for me.

I hope you check it out!
I have actually had this kit and also highly recommend! Why pay someone else to do what we can do ourselves?!
Absolutely!
this is so funny because my mom had a spa and growing up i would try to wax my own legs and failed miserably burning myself and while it would save me a lot of money to do it myself, i can’t maybe i should give it a chance again.
I’ve never tried waxing but it sounds like something I should really have a second thought about. I’ve always been scared to try it but your review is changing my mind.
I am so glad it is. Just be open minded and give it a try and let me know how you like it!
Oh this is great! Super convenient. Although I might be scared doing it myself…lol

It is really not hard at all!
I have tried waxing myself. It took me hours!! I had to take breathers, drink some wine, watch some tv…anything to distract me from the pain, lol. But seeing those lifestime savings numbers… those are almost enough to make me want to try again!
Oh please do and try using a barrier to help alleviate the pain.
This is such a life saver!! I’m not too much into waxing, but I love how efficient this kit is.
It is definitely efficient!
I am absolutely terrified of waxing myself. This looks like a great kit though
When reviews comes from first hand real user, we need to trust them. I am going to ask my wife to buy it for sure.
Thanks let me know how she likes it! Or you could purchase it for her as a gift 🙂
I’ve never tried waxing because I’ve been told how it’s easy to get ingrown hair if you don’t wax properly. I opt for IPL instead. But given that you’ve been using for such a long time, I’m curious to know how it’s done!
Great post! I had never heard of this product until now. Thank you for sharing your review. I will be sure to check it out!
Please do!
what a great kit! I have a waxing kit from when I studied as a beauty therapist, it’s so useful and easy to do when after a little practice.
I think Waxing is really great for hair removal. I like this product. i will check this out soon.
I hope you do. You wont regret it!
This sounds like a great product. Certainly sounds like a lot less maintenance than shaving and is nowhere near as expensive as going to the salon for a wax.
Seems like a nice product. I don’t have time to wax now with the baby so I just shave.
I’ve always been a home waxer since studying beauty therapy 16 years ago could never imagine paying the prices they charge today
I know right. Such a ridiculous amount to charge for investing in the same kit you can.
Waxing is something I’ve done once (not including my eyebrows) and it was a very “out there” experience! But it definitely got the job done and i felt smoother, my arms felt so soft! This seems like something I should look into, I do enjoy saving money. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It does look like such a great thing. I can only imagine how much saving you would have if you could do something like this. I’ll have to show it to my girlfriend.
It does save me a lot of coins. Please show it to your girlfriend and let me know your thoughts.
It’s been a long time since I have used wax to remove hair. Your post is very useful and helpful with tips to wax. Thanks for a good review.
Thanks for your feedback and kind words 🙂
Waxing is always a headache for me to think of the pain it combines with itself. But I think this GIGI Waxing kit is really helpful for a painless waxing. It is really nice product..
I’m such a big sissy. I tried waxing a long time ago and nearly lost it. Perhaps the lady didn’t know what she was doing but it hurts like crazy, but still in the back of my mind I’ve got this thing that I’d love to try it again. My daughter does it all the time. Maybe I should get her one of these kits and she can show me how to scream silently 😀
Hahahaha, sounds like a great plan!
I am not a fan of waxing at home but this kit looks and sounds very practical!
It is definitely both practical and economical.
I have seen this around more than once around d social media and feel I would benefit from it greatly! I haven’t had the greatest experience with home kits but I’ll never know with this one if I don’t give it a shot!

I hope you do give it a try!
My wife does not like waxing. But she goes to parlor to get it done for my sake. Now, she will not need to go to Laura, the ill-tempered beautician in our locality. Thank you for exposing the truth that the pros use Gigi. .
Wow. I did not know that Amazon would sell something like this which I would not mind having. I regularly get my eyebrows waxed. I wonder if I’d be able to pull off doing it myself.
I think you can. It all takes practice and you’ll get better!
I should really look into this, I am so tired of shaving. Razors are expensive, it has to be done more often and I hate the risks of cuts and ingrown hairs. Maybe its time for a change!
Waxing can be more convenient, but I haven’t been brave enough to try it myself. I’m such a coward when it comes to pain!
Hahahaha I really don’t blame you. It is an acquired pain!
Grea t kit! definitely time saving as well as money. I think I should looks for something like that for me!
I have always wanted to try waxing at home, but I haven’t worked up the courage, so I just go see my wax lady!
I’m too nervous to wax myself! I have a brow girl that I trust so much that no one else has touched them in 5 years. I still shave my legs & underarms because I’m afraid to wax them myself. 😆 This sounds like a great option for those that prefer in home waxing.
Not a fan of waxing but this is such a detailed and informative post! I’ve never heard of this product before, but I’d definitely love to see a video on it!
A friend of mine have been talking waxing and I think this would really help her. Will surely be sharing this!
This would be a great investment as I have very thick eyebrows. I would be nervous but its worth a try. Thanks for sharing your beauty scoop.
This set is exactly what I need right now. I stopped going to waxing salon to save and buy everything in store but I lack a lot of stuff such as pre waxing oil and cooling gel which are very essential.
This looks like a great waxing kit. I am terrified of doing it wrong so have yet to really think about getting a kit myself
This Waxing kit looks really cool and interesting to try, I am planning to schedule my leg waxing in my favorite spa but I think its time to try it by myself. LOL!!
This must be a life saver and money saver too! The kit looks great. I so want to try it on my own but I am too clumsy lol
I am clumsy as well… so you’ll be just fine 🙂
Can I wax in a home now? Is it safe?
Please answer me.
Cheers!

this waxing kit is everything . I haven’t waxed in years but this seems worth a do over .
I would to have one of these kits at home. They are so handy and much more affordable than going out to do it.
