KOTAMUWaxing Kit for Women & Men, Wax Warmer for Hair Removal, Digital Wax Kit with SiliconePot，Ideal for Face Eyebrow Arm Legs Armpit &Sensitive Skin, Purple Waxing Machine With 44 Accessories

I’d like to state that I am a novice at waxing. I have a terrible reaction to shaving. No matter the blade, technique, or aftercare product, I seem to always end up with terrible razor bumps that hurt badly. With summer coming up, I decided I’ve had enough and want to feel confident showing my legs again. I did quite a bit of research regarding different products and how to wax properly. I watched lots of videos as well- some helpful and some scary. But I quickly learned the scary ones were truly human error or a lack of practice. I’m hoping that sharing my experience can help another beginner like me!Since I wasn’t sure how my skin would react to waxing, I didn’t want to spend a fortune. But I also wanted to do it right. This was a wonderful deal. The warmer is super cute (I got the pink one), and it’s small enough to fit on my bathroom shelf. It’s also not an eye sore and I don’t feel the need to hide it somewhere. Shipping was fast and everything was exactly as described.The manual was very helpful, although I do think it would have touched more on how to operate the actual warmer. However, it ended up not being an issue because it’s easy-peasy. After plugging in and pouring your wax beads, you simply turn the dial to the temp you’d like. 155-160 was perfect for me. The manual does address this, but you must remember that the warmer is going to reach its max temp in order to fully melt the wax (240 something- extremely hot!) The digital reader will rise and then fall back down to your set temp. There’s also a red/green light to let you know when it’s ready (it took about a total of 10-15 minutes.) Test a small amount on your inner wrist before diving into it. This will give you an idea of how it will feel and if the consistency is correct. I feel that it needs to be a bit thicker than honey… more like condensed milk.There is definitely a learning curve to this whole process. Holding horizontally and twisting the stick is your best friend. This helps to create a bulb at the end of the stick. I recommend also using an up and down motion as you twist, similar to a handshake, to separate any strings hanging onto the bulb. If there is any dripping, the wax is way too hot, but this should not happen if you keep it between 155-160. I started on my leg and the technique wasn’t hard to learn, but I was getting sad when I wasn’t picking up much hair. I took a break from that and tried my armpit. This is where I learned a lot. Because my armpits are more sensitive than my legs, and I was anxious about the pain, I peeled the wax much sooner than I was before. It ripped out every hair. And I mean ALL of it. And the pain was so minimal, it took me all of 2 minutes to finish both armpits. The directions say to peel after 30-45 seconds, but this was too long and was making the wax un-stick to my hair. I found more success in waiting about 10 seconds, and so the rest of the waxing was smooth sailing.I’m sure it can be different for people with other hair types and directions of growth, but I think patience and practice is key. I let my coarser hairs grow a bit longer than a grain of rice (which was an annoying 3 weeks, but it’s worth it!) My hairs grow at different speeds and thickness, so I can feel some of the small, finer hairs still. But I know waxing has to be done multiple times before it’s uniform and/or stops growing. You can always tweeze anything noticeable leftover. Overall, I am so satisfied and impressed with this purchase and couldn’t recommend it enough, especially for someone wanting to learn how. It's been 24 hours and normally I’d be covered in painful bumps, but my skin is silky smooth and clear! I love that they also sell Kotamu wax beads separately so that you can keep using the brand if you adore it like I did!

FOR ALL BEGINNERS & EXPERTS: this is the one. Omg. I bought this a while ago to start doing my underarms & it changed my life. My underarms are brighter now (no darkness) and this brand for wax beads is the ONLY one I use. When the beads from this kit finished, I bought there blue beads for bikini and Brazilian (cuz my hair is thick).If you are just beginning with waxing, start here and stay here. The beads melt good, the pot is easy to clean, the wax comes onto the skin so good and pulls every hair out in one pass.I cannot express how much this has changed the game for me. I even do my own Brazilian now bc the wax really isn’t painful- it’s high quality.Buy buy buy!!!!!!!

So box showed up DESTROYED was a little concerned but luckily all worked fine. The wax warmer itself does take a while to both heat up and adjust temperatures. Which to my knowledge is normal but if its your first time using one. Dump the wax in on the max heat and walk away for a bit or sit down. It will take a bit for the wax to melt. If you plan to do your legs, use 2 of rhe small bags the wax will go FAST if you sre doing large areas. Recommend buying additional larger bags of wax, the ones provided. Very small. All together a good deal for the price, love the silicone insert, makes clean up easy. Just let the left over wax dry and pop it right out.

I recommend buying it. It’s really nice. It has everything you need from head to toe and actually removes the hair quite well. It’s been a week since I waxed and you can't barely see any hair on my roots. For a first-timer who never used before, you might have some trouble using it at first. I was a first timer and had never done it before, and I had some moments where the wax didn’t come out as well as I wanted to but when I got the use of it, it was pretty easy and remove the hair really well.

My only regret is being too big of a wimp & not trying it sooner! I’ve used drugstore wax strips before— you know, the ones that rip only some hairs out & you have to keep doing it over & over again to get any kind of result. So painful & so frustrating!This set is dummy-proof, you can’t mess it up! I watched a few TikTok videos & it was so easy to get the hang of. The wax grips on to every hair (the pink one grabbed every peach fuzz amazingly!) it sets up fast & as long as you’re swiping it on thick enough, it should be a quick sting & it’s over. I learned the hard way, too thin & you’ll be in trouble. It’s all in how you prep your skin too! Truly never shaving again & definitely kicking those painful strips to the curb!

first off, id like to say that if you’re a beginner, this kit will do what you need it to. the melting pot and accessories are efficient, easy, and have no faults. this kit is a decent deal - while other wax warmers ALONE are $20, you get a bunch of wax beads, sticks, etc in this kit for $25. the wax, however, is a big issue.i live somewhere that’s especially hot with a faulty A/C, meaning sweat is unavoidable. even following all the tips and directions AND with a fan pointing my way, this wax struggles to pull off hair and leaves me patchy, meaning i have to wax the same area multiple times and use way more wax than i should. the warmer is good and you can keep it for future use so you don’t have to get a new one, but wax bead refills from this brand are at least $16-20 each. at a fraction of the cost (~$9), you can get other wax beads that are much more affordable AND work like a dream. the kit is a great deal but i would never buy wax beads from this brand - there are better alternatives.tldr: the kit is good for beginners because it comes with wax when other warmers alone are $20, but buy cheaper wax from a brand like ajoura when you need new beads. it will work much better and you’ll save money + waste less
