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.

I do it in an old cup in the microwave and keep a supply of wooden spatulas to apply it - one minute to start with on High and then perhaps another 30 seconds if it is not quite ready to apply - and take care, because it is quite hot so do a test on your hand. Don't heat too much at one time - a tablespoon of beads goes a long way. A proper wax melting pot is best if you can run to that but I find it convenient to do it this way.

For personal use, you can reuse the wax. Instructions are included where you use a rope, let the block of paraffin cool, lift it out and remove the detritus that gathers on the bottom. One would have to replace the wax lost in this process but it seems it wouldn't be very much -- maybe a block. (I haven't done it yet).

As far as I know, the brazillian wax is harder. The other "waxes" are much softer and some arent even wax at all. Some people use wax out of bee hives, sold to melt down into candles usually. And there are alot of home made recipes for sugar based concoctions that get liquid when hot, used as hot wax, harden up and then peel off. I also think the brazillian wax actually comes from brazil. All in all, I found the real brazillian wax difficult to use. hard to regulate heat right, messy to apply, etc. AND if you accidentally get some where you dont want it. HARD to get off. I lost some eyebrow and mustache hair that way! I personally wouldnt buy that particular kit for myself again. But to each his own, right? As far as I know, the brazillian wax is harder.

No, you do not need a wax warmer. This can be warmed (carefully) on the stove. Make sure the handle is positioned off to the side while you are heating the wax, so the handle does not get hot. Heat at medium and it'll be melted in about 5 minutes or less.

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.

Yes. But I don't use it. I use the cover for the wax itself and leave it in the warmer.

yes you can use a coffee warmer! I have both a gigi pot and coffee warmer and i use both. the coffee warmer takes a lot longer to heat up an entire can of wax, so plan accordingly, but it does work.

you will need to add more wax later but it comes with your first wax and gloves. you will need all day to warm it and apply it

I don't know , I do not own a wax warmer but if you are going to do that be very careful because it heats up in very little time, you don't want to over heated and burn yourself. Best of luck

Yes the wax is hard in the can. Most warmers are made with a removable pot that you can replace with a can of wax or just drop a can in. Be careful when using cirepil not overheat the wax. It will become brittle and crack when removed.

You can probably heat the wax in the microwave in smaller batches and use only what you need. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on constantly since the heating element will wear out sooner. You also can start with a smaller amount of wax. I wish I had and may try your microwave idea the next time I use it. I will say that I love it and can't believe I waited so long to get it.
