    Default Waxing

    I need recommendations on facial waxing. The ladies at the spa place have jacked up my eye brows for the last time. I have tried the strips (w/out the warm wax) but that didn't work very well and irritated my skin.

    Does anyone have a wax they like? In the strip form or warm wax kind?

    Do you have to use wax? I had a friend that is so allergic to wax and irritates her too so she turned to threading. That's an option.

    I use GiGi Creme Wax (it's pink.) Available at Sally's.

    Are you looking for something microwavable or are you investing in a warmer?

    I use the gigi one from sally's, too. Just melt in microwave, spread, let harden and pull off. No strips required, works great and is cheap.

    I love threading. You will have gorgeous eye brows! A lil bit more painful but not too bad.

    Try the threading! It is so much better than wax!

    I was hoping to find something to do at home because the lady always makes them to thin. Can you do threading at home?

    I would want to try either a wax you warm up or good strips that actually work.

    No, threading is done at salons or malls. You should google it, it is more painful for some but a great alternative to putting wax on your skin, especially your face if your sensitive.
