  • Looking to wax your underarms at home? Wax your underarms like a professional. Self-waxing is not easy -the hardest part is dealing with self inflicted pain! So don't laugh at me, even as a pro, this is NOT easy. However, after you get over the fear, it's pretty easy. Enjoy

    Waxing my own for about 4 mos now. I've found that the CREASE is the most painful!! I have found when I 'split' my pits, and do a HORIZONTAL section across entire pit, about an inch thick and pull in opposite direction it really cuts down on pain. Then I proceed exactly how she explains. Just something about that middle. I also hold the door frame of my bathroom with my hand that's up in the air for tension, looking like a real goober, but it works. I use cornstarch. Really NOT painful, I find my shins way worse, haha!

    During this pandemic I’ve been interested in doing my own waxing at home. Could you maybe do a video of at home suggestions of the best wax warmers to use for hard wax? There’s so many options and I’d like to make sure I’m getting a good one that actually works.

      I sure will, as soon as I find 1 at home warmer that is of at lease decent quality. 100% of the small warmers I've purchased are crap. Cheap China-made crap. I guess I have to get in the business myself and fix this dilemma

      HK Wax Center - Austin Arbor honestly if you got in the business and maid a good at home wax warmer, I’d definitely purchase!

      Some day I do really hope to find a good one or make one. My only recommendation is to spend more money, honestly. There's some good warmers that aren't crazy big like our Goliath, but they aren't small either. If you wax a lot at home it will still pay for itself in the long run.

    I need to purchase the wax but before purchase I want to get sample to try

    Hi Kristin, I love your wax, however I’m struggling at finding the best wax sticks for Brazilian and leg waxing. Can you tell me what you use and the size? I’m new to waxing. Thank you so much.

    Hi, ive been waxing my under arms for 2 years now and i recently started waxing my bikini area of course with 3 months straight going to EWC so i knew the pain and how it was being applied with this whole virus i stopped so i just started waxing myself and i was wondering if it was okay to apply aloe vera straight from the plant? i cut a piece of the plant and place it in the fridge so at night when i wax it will be cool when i apply it to soothe the irritated and swollen area i was wondering if it was okay if i do that? Or will it cause ingrown or infections since the pores are open ???
