Unlike shaving, waxing pulls hair out at the root rather than just cutting it off at the surface. You can be hair-free for weeks or months with a good wax, and over time the hair can grow back thinner or disappear entirely!
Finding the right waxing kit depends on how often you wax, what areas you wax, and how experienced you are with waxing. Below is a list of the best home waxing kits available on the market today.

BodyHonee Extra Strength Hair Removal Waxing Kit
[easyazon_image align=”center” height=”500″ identifier=”B00J5R9E9C” locale=”US” src=”https://www.gorgeousjorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/51vZsv0L2aL.jpg” tag=”gorg08-20″ width=”500″]
This unisex waxing product is designed for use on the body, so more delicate areas like the face may be too sensitive for it. The included Body Honee soft spa wax is microwaveable and comes with special oil-based cleansing towelettes, 50 muslin strips, two wooden spatulas, and two finishing wipes. The included items in this kit are enough for a few sessions–there’s plenty of wax, but you’ll need refills on strips and spatulas long before the wax starts to run low. If you want a starter home waxing kit or a refill on body wax with some extras, this kit is a good choice. It’s easy to apply and great for a one-time special occasion as well as for regular waxers.
Pros
- Easy to use, microwavable
- Full starter kit
Cons
- Not a lot of applicators and treatments included for multiple uses
bliss Poetic Waxing Kit
[easyazon_image align=”center” height=”256″ identifier=”B000I1UW8Q” locale=”US” src=”https://www.gorgeousjorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/31mb6pNT4fL.jpg” tag=”gorg08-20″ width=”500″]
Some people swear by Bliss skincare, and their Poetic Waxing kit is a great way to pamper yourself. The 5.3 ounces of microwavable wax is designed to be usable at low temperatures and has an aromatherapy focus. The kit also comes with a skin cleanser, oils for before and after waxing, three large spatulas, three small spatulas, and a sample of Bliss Ingrown Eliminating Pads. This kit isn’t the biggest out there, so it’s best for occasional waxers. This waxing kit is an upgrade to the previous Bliss waxing method, which involved heating the wax in boiling water. People who want to wax small areas regularly will get a lot of use out of this kit.
Pros
- Quick heating in the microwave
- Made to play nice with sensitive skin and faces
Cons
- Not enough product for waxing large areas of the body
Satin Smooth SSW12C Professional Single Wax Warmer Kit
[easyazon_image align=”center” height=”500″ identifier=”B00PBP3KRY” locale=”US” src=”https://www.gorgeousjorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/418YjRiXG2L.jpg” tag=”gorg08-20″ width=”500″]
This wax kit features a wax warmer similar to the Gigi Student Starter Kit with a capacity to hold single 14-16 ounce cans of wax. A wax warmer is a great investment if you hate trying to hit the perfect wax temperature with a microwave. The kit comes with 14 ounces of Deluxe Cream Wax from Satin Smooth, non-woven strips in assorted sizes, 20 wooden applicators in assorted sizes, and a few other extras. You get 4-ounce bottles of products for before and after waxing, including a wax removing oil. You also get a step-by-step DVD that beginners may especially appreciate. The kit has similar features compared to the Gigi kit, but some people find that cream wax is not as effective as other types of hair removal wax.
Pros
- Comes with wax warmer
- Enough supplies for multiple sessions
- Comes with instructional DVD
Cons
- Includes cream wax that may not be “strong” enough for some users
- Slower than microwaving wax
Moom Organic Hair Removal Kit
Moom offers a USDA Certified Organic hair removal kit, perfect for people who find long ingredients labels off-putting. The 6-ounce wax product contains just five ingredients: cane sugar, water, chamomile, lemon juice, and lavender. It’s a water soluble wax that’s easy to wash off, too. The kit comes with the sugaring wax, 18 reusable fabric strips, and four wooden applicators. The relatively small size of this kit makes it best for people who wax small areas, since it will last for multiple sessions. People who wax large areas may prefer a bigger kit. “Sugaring” can be easier on sensitive skin than traditional waxing because it only sticks to the hair and not the surrounding skin.
Pros
- Organic product with just five ingredients
- Comes off the skin easily with just water
- Suitable for sensitive skin
Cons
- Relatively small kit, best for small areas of the body or face
- No aftercare products included
More experienced waxers may prefer the wax warmer kits and options that come with larger amounts of wax. Beginners or occasional waxers may find the other more basic kits are just the right amount!
