do you have to use strips with this wax

No, you don't. You do need to apply it thicker than you would with soft wax and muslin strips. What also helps is to apply a thin layer of GiGi Pre-Epilating Oil, azulene oil, or some kind of waxing oil before waxing, to heat the wax to the right temperature (melt wax in the pot warmer on high until the center remains unmelted, then turn it down to low and use the melted wax), and to pull the wax off at the right time (don't let it sit too long and get too hard and brittle).

I never have, not sure if it would work on this wax though. It's very sticky and I won't be buying it again. It's very hard to take off all at once

Nope. Hard wax goes on thick and then hardens into a solid body. When it's ready (dry to the touch) you simply peel up a corner and pull in a quick motion. It's like removing a bandaid.

Hi Lynelle! =) I'm afraid we didn't keep this kit.We had problems getting strips, the wax was a mess, one of the bottles leaked all over everything (though the company was good in providing a replacement for that albeit slowly) and for everything in this kit, it would not have covered all that much or provided very many applications. It went to Goodwill after a couple attempts. Sorry!

Absolutely not. I use the provided tail to remove the wax. A buffer for polishing. It turns out great.

It's blue, but I don't think the color matters too much, it won't stain your skin or anything. Yes you will need wax strips to do this. Gigi has there own wax strips or you can get a generic kind. Some people prefer to use fabric when waxing because then you can wash and reuse them instead of having to keep buying more - that won't work with this wax.

Yes but make sure you put it on some paper towels for a day or two beforehand to pull the wax out of it a bit.

Not needed at all. Microfiber cloth works fine. Make sure Wax has dried to a haze is what matters.

like any wax you dont want to get it on any texture black plastic parts. If you do yo can use Goof Off to take it off and follow up with wiping 303 on it or some other protectant. The wax is long lasting but when taking it off you will get a good work out but the ending reults are nice and it will last.

No strips, just the testing vials and drops. I use it to verify strip accuracy.

The wax? Not at all. Just be sure to warm it up with your fingers (body heat) before applying. Also, make sure to brush in thoroughly.

Yes. We used Gigi wax. You only have to be able to put the can into it; this is just a warmer. It works well.

I was instructed that wax was not necessary but you could wax the surfaces with a carnuba wax only

I use them that way and have never had a problem! They leave a little more residue than traditional wax for burners though. But it's easy enough to clean when changing scents.

Yes cloth strips are used after wax application (apply direction of hair growth-remove with strip in opposite direction....it will not harden like hard wax.

NO...nails need to be clean and dry....then roughed up a little so the strip will adhere.....

On the spool, the outer side is covered with the wax paper, but it's sticky on the inside. You can still easily cut strips before using, but be careful because it's strong! I also found that after a bit of cutting, I had to clean my scissors using GooGone or something similar because the adhesive would build up on the scissors. LOVE the product though... plenty sticky and perfect for so many projects.

Just wash your face thoroughly sometimes it's good to add. Little baby powder to absorb any moisture or oil you need was the sticks and the wax warmer if you buy hard was you do not need strips

Hello, and no you don't need strips, but you may want to order more of the wooden spatulas, or if you have them chop sticks will do.
