Can you use this warmer with the Gigi Hard Brazilian Wax as well? I want one warmer for both types of wax, if possible.

Yes u can. That is the kind that I use in mine. It just might take a little longer to melt but once it is melted, all is well.

i don't see why not but it seems like a lot of extra trouble to me. You also might get the wax too hot and that would be a big problem. I recommend you just plan ahead and not risk messing with melted wax that could be potentially dangerous.

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

Brazilian wax is a type of hard wax formulated to make removing coarser hair (such as bikini area) easier with less irritation to the skin. The first thing to decide when choosing a wax is if you want to use a hard wax or a strip wax. For me, I have coarse hair everywhere and my skin is sensitive to waxing so I find that hard wax works better for everywhere. I literally pulled the brown off my skin trying to use a strip wax on my arm so its either hard wax or shaving. Now, that covers the actual wax itself. If you are talking salon lingo, I believe the word Brazilian refers to what parts you want to be hairless. Brazilian usually means take it all off including between the cheeks. Each waxing experience is personal so feel free to ditch the lingo and just tell your aesthetician what you want! Hope this helps. You can also find a lot of info on GiGis website.

Did you pour the wax into the little bucket that it comes with? It won't warm up if the wax is in the original can. You have to warm it & dump it in.

I bought the cerepil blue wax along with the satin smooth professional wax warmer last month. The cerepil blue wax does melt well with constant stirring.

I use the other GiGi waxes with a little warmer made for candles. It is just a warming base and it fits the bottom of the tin jar perfectly. They have them at walmart. It looks like a little warming disk for coffee mugs. I've seen them sold for office/desk use. Going to get the warmer this week only b/c I want it all contained and it will probably heat up much faster. Only used it this way b/c I wasn't sure I would want to continue after my first time. Bought it, got it home and realized I needed a good way to keep it warm while working with it. If you have a walmart, go try one, it sells for less than 5.00.

ehhh i really wouldn't advise that. if you ever wanted to use any other type of wax, it'd be a pain in the butt to clean out. i'd recommend instead getting a tin can (maybe a coffee tin?) that can fit inside the warmer, and then putting the honey wax in THAT.

I have not used that particular wax but it does work really well and melts the thick cream wax that i use.

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 Brazilian wax which uses considerable amount of wax per time and am only half way thru the container. Guessing I've done it 7-10 times so far. So I've been very satisfied. The higher quality and steady temperature of the warmer keeps wax better and you really find that you'll use thinner layers than going thru the re-microwaving process of small jars from cvs or wherever else. I do recommend sally brand pre-epilation and post calming oils. I didn't find the lotion that came with this to be as satisfying. I had plenty of the oils left from small sally jar wax kit. not sure if you can buy the oils individually since I haven't needed to yet.

no, you need to buy it separately, but the Gigi works with most wax container.

I only use it for facial hair and it is absolutely THE BEST!! And yes, this is a strip-less wax. And yes, your warmer should work, mine does. P.S. I'm not sure if the other person who commented is talking about the right wax, because this specific wax is most definitely a hard wax that you DO NOT use muslin strips with, I guarantee it!

I tried both way. GiGi wax is more Thicker. hard to use roller. I suggestions use a refill wax. because different quality. don't buy from "Shine Nails " bad customer service.

I'm not sure if that would work. I don't think it would get the wax hot enough.

Yes you can.. you can use any type of wax but you have to check that the container can fit into the wax pot... check the dimension of the wax pot against the dimension of the wax container... if the container can fit into the wax pot then you can use it. Y8u can buy the wax online from sellers at amazon...
