I'm so glad you make these videos. I've been trying to figure out which wax to buy after having a bad experience with the one that came with my warmer. As you've said in another video, the people reviewing on Amazon don't always know what they're doing so I can't go off of that. It's so helpful to see the wax actually being used by a professional to get an idea of the quality.
I’m officially a licensed esthetician and I know for a fact the wax I’ve received in my starter kit that I ordered from amazon is terrible quality, but I couldn’t remember what I used in school and I believe it’s the Starpil that you’ve reviewed, I’m so glad
I feel like all hard waxes no matter the brand, you always never get all the hair that you have to do clean up strips. Where as soft wax it’s usually a one and done and only have to tweeze tiny amount of hair or rarely have to tweeze.
Thank you for your video. I'm a licensed Aesthetician trained years ago in hard wax. I learned to apply a pretreat oil on the skin. When if ever do you use a pretreat oil. I was trained it puts a buffer between skin and wax to avoid skin irritation.
@@TylerCard-Huffman actually it surprisingly doesn’t. I use jasmine apricot oil. You can go over the skin too as the skin isn’t damaged and doesn’t have skin lifting. Been doing it like this for 23 years. Learned method from Lycon wax.
Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been waiting on this video. I tired the cirepil wax and I loved it but when my hair started to grow back I had a lot of ingrown hair under my skin. I wanted to try starpil wax, so I made an order from the website you put under your video, I got it 2 days ago... still haven’t tried it yet,, the shipping fee is pricey which made me order more than 100$ to skip the shipping cost... I hope it’s worth it I don’t know why amazon doesn’t carry starpil wax Keep on posting videos... you rock!
*@HK Wax Center - Austin Arbor* Thank you so much for these videos! You are a God send! I remember how excited I was when I bought a little wax pot warmer from amazon and got the hard wax beads with it. Boy was I disappointed in the wax. It hurt when it kept breaking when I tried pulling it off. I only used that wax pot once 😔 But would that same little wax pot warmer work with good and thick quality hard wax like Starpil or Cirepil? I’d rather not throw the pot away if it can be useful 👀
indie girl now you can buy Starpil from UK as well but online. Here’s the link beautyfor.co.uk/waxing/hot-wax-paraffin-sugar-paste. I emailed Starpil and she told me to buy from this website in UK
I recently waxed myself for the first time and I used cirepil. It was good. But in some areas I had to go over it many times (which ik is not good for you) and it did not pull some hairs from the root. I did my armpit and a brazilian with it, and those areas have thick, coarse hair. People talked so highly of cirepil, so I was surprised I had to go over the same place multiple times. Is it because it was my first time and it’s harder to pull from the roots? Will it get easier, making the wax more efficient?
I also just bought cirepil its what my school uses but since my school is currently closed with the virus 🙃 I wanted to practice at home im used to soft wax but was very interested in learning hard wax. I tried it on my legs and eyebrows first... and it didn't get all my leg hairs I think its because not all my leg hair are in the same hair cycle so by the third time they should be on the same cycle but im not 100% sure.. i do have to say there is a learning curve especially if you are used to soft wax because i was under the impression hard wax hurt less and um my eyebrows hurt for days after (probably an inexperienced operator problem) so it will probably just take time to learn
Omg idk why UA-cam cuts off comments for me after a certain length!😭 what did you say after you said you tried it on your legs and eyebrows?? If you don’t mind🙏🏾
@@nkirukaukaegbu5080 it works for both but with me being new at it, it doesn't get all the hairs but I assume that's because the hairs are in different growing cycles rn by the 3rd time they should be in the same cycle. Just a learning curve. My eyebrows hurt for a bit afterwards but I think that's also because I'm new. I did successfully wax my armpits on the first try (still have like 2 hairs on each but those are pluckable. Practice makes proficient. Good luck!
Jordan L thanks so much for the clarification! Makes me feel much better. I’ll definitely keep going and hopefully it’ll get easier and more efficient:)
What do you say when you know the wax is a perfect temperature and the client says it’s too hot what next? Then you turn it too cold and wax doesn’t pick up hair then you get blamed for burning them even though you know their skin is perfectly fine by looking at it
Hi, so I've used cirepil and love the way it works and bought starpil to test out the different waxes, but it doesn't really grab all the hair and I'm left with hair behind, that being fine hair and normal hair. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I apply just like I would with cirepil, I make the lip at the end as well, and I also make sure it's a good consistency. I even bought the blue, pink and starsoft hard wax from starpil, to test out and I'm having the same problem with all 3. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hello! Oh no, I'm so sorry you're having trouble. I would have to see a video of you using the waxes to be able to tell what you're doing wrong. But you should try Mermaid Wax!
Hello! Aw, thank you so much. I'm so glad my videos help! I have videos on how to wax a mens eyebrows, nose and ears. But I would absolutely not recommend waxing a mans face (like beard, mustache, etc). The hairs are very deeply rooted so it's a very bad idea. I hope this helps
Hello, I have Starpil the honey color one. It seemed to pull-up hair on my armpits but when I did it only legs, it only got up maybe 25% of the hair. I did all the things you said in your video such as prepping the skin, exfoliating, not waiting until it's hard, etc. I could probably press a bit harder so I will try that, too, but I don't think that will help all the way to get all the hair. Would a different color of starpill wax pick up more hair on my legs? What are the different colors for?
What hard wax/ soft wax would be good to use for full legs ! I keep seeing all these videos with people using what looks like hard wax to do a full leg What type would you recommend
Okay I have a question, I use ceripil and I always use the oil before I wax to protect the skin..can I still use the oil with starpil? Or does it only work with the ceripil wax?
The first application you went down in the growth of the hair and the clean up application you went up. Is that your normal fashion to do it that way to ensure you get all the hairs?
What’s a good way to make sure your soft creme waxes and your hard waxes stay at the perfect temperature while the pots are on all day doing waxing services?
You apply the first wax strip in the direction of the hair growth and then to pull it off you do it against it. Then the “clean up strip” you apply the wax the opposite direction of the hair growth and rip it with the direction of the hair growth. :)
My satin smooth wax was crap. Had the lavender, the sensitive pink, and blue titanium. All crap. Bought this instead. Hoping it works better and faster
I think so, just try it out and see. I always use the twirling method when it's on the stick to ensure it's moving fast, but not too fast. This will allow you to cool it before you apply it. You'll get used to the movement & speed as it relates temperature. This is how I can tell if it's at the proper temperature by just looking at it.
Do you do Male Brazilian/ Hollywood??? If not why not I was thinking about offering it because no one in our area offers it but the will do women. Just wondering why? Lol are men harder to wax??
Thank you for making this video. I bought hard wax from Ellison’s but not happy at all. When I apply it and try to remove it just cracks and it leave so much residue which is very difficult to remove. I am thinking to buy Starpil
You really want to focus on the consistence of the wax, not the temp. I am constantly changing the temp of my wax to get the correct consistency. You want it to move like honey or molasses!
I LOVE your easy-going videos! Pliz o pliz can you do a video on doing the labia area...wrinkly lips if possible. I had a couple of ladies and they were so hard and almost killed me. Even though I was pulling skin as taught as I could. PLIIIIIZ!!!!???
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions what the best quality hard wax could be available in Ireland. Mermaid wax doesn't ship to Ireland. Starpil wax can be shipped from UK but I'm paying nearly double for shipping. Wax is £18 and shipping £15 ... not very cost effective :( Anyone has any suggestions?
Can you review the Gigi coconut flex wax? I bought it and tested it on myself and it was a FAIL! I’m still in school for esthetician so I’m very new at this lol
Juliana hello! I'm only adding what I learned. I learned that the darker wax for Starpil (which is what I use) is for more course hair and the lighter colors (pink is the other I use) I for more fine hair. I love Starpril. I think you will too.
I tried waxing my own legs for the first time with starpil blue hard wax and didn’t get very good results. It wasn’t picking up hair at all or would get a little at a time and I want it to work but not sure how!? I have pretty dry skin and my hair on my legs was about a week and a half wait period. I didn’t use a prepping oil, so could that be it?
Great video I could’ve swore cerapil used to be wayyyy cheaper tho😬 oh well I’ll stick with my starpil love it and their options❗️❗️ also could you do a video on how to eyebrow wax yourself because I try not to put it so close to my hair I feel like I’m going to take out too much 🤷🏽♀️ also it’s hard to wax a nose and not have it drip on the upper lip
It might have used to be cheaper but recently when I've looked up prices it was a lot more! Lol yes I can show you how I wax my own brows. It's not easy... Just use a little less wax on the nose.

Wouldn’t the oil prevent the wax from sticking to the hair too though?

Is there a reason you covered more area with the Starpil with both applications?
Wow, I didn't even realize I did that lol. Total accident.
Which would you recommend for coarse or thicker hair. Particular for ethnic or afro american hair, or does it not really matter?
I would recommend Mermaid Wax!

I tell them they need to suck it up lol. Jk, but I tell them it has to be warm, otherwise it won't grab the hair.
Star seems to glide on smoother than cire
Hi do you apply the ceripil that thick I had to go over a few times over corse hair on the bikini area as the ceripil euroblonde didn’t catch the hair
Cirepil does have to be applied thick which is unfortunate.

What warmers work well but aren't too expensive for starpil wax?

Correct, you got it girl!
What’s a good way to make sure your soft creme waxes and your hard waxes stay at the perfect temperature while the pots are on all day doing waxing services?
Honestly you just have to keep stirring the pot throughout the whole day. I stir my pot multiples even throughout one service
I'm so glad you make these videos. - Do you ship to Auckland New Zealand? I interesrted to get Starpil Wax please - I love watching your videos
Hi! Where can I purchase star pill and what wax warmer do you recommend?
Just go to their website and they can help you out there! They have multiple wax warmers so just depends on the size you want
Do you have to buy the wax from China or do they have a US vendor?
My Cirepil wax keeps cracking and coming off in pieces. Do you know why?
There are many reasons why the wax is breaking, but I actually have a video that helps explain why!

Hey can you tell me which Cirepil wax did you use? They have blue and intimate so I'm not sure.

Is it ok to us a cheaper wax warmer with a high quality wax like starpil?
I think so, just try it out and see. I always use the twirling method when it's on the stick to ensure it's moving fast, but not too fast. This will allow you to cool it before you apply it. You'll get used to the movement & speed as it relates temperature. This is how I can tell if it's at the proper temperature by just looking at it.
What's the swirling method? Could you do a video demonstratong it please

They're pretty good, but Mermaid Wax is the best and same price or less; hkwax.com/myfavoritewax
Have you ever tried Bombshell or Relax N Wax wax?
No but it's on my list of To-Do's!!

cirepil
Starpil is sooo expensive
Girlfri3nd Vs Boyfri3nd use afterpay it’ll be more manageable but its so worth it.
Can i use any type of oil for a pre-waxing oil? Or is that oil even necessary?
I believe before wax you apply a cleanser like bactine then dusting powder, wax, and for after apply the oils , so it’s cleanse then moisturize
