Hello, new here - just wanted to say that the Parissa hot wax kit for face (stripless) performed wonderfully. This to me is interesting because home kits (including all cold wax strips, most of the sugaring products) and many of the pros have failed to get a good grip on my stachio. It doesn’t smell great or anything, but in some kind of residual masochistic way, this makes me trust it more…
Also, you absolutely must pay attention to the manufacturer’s directions. I can see how it might be problematic if you wait too long to remove the stuff (it hardens pretty quickly, and if you let it stiffen completely, you’re SOL for getting it off your face); but on the other side, once the magical “honey” consistency is achieved, application is easy (just smudge on a whack of it in the opposite direction of hair growth). The pain is stunning, but since you’re able to control the momentum of the “lift” (you can go a bit at a time, flicking the wax upwards in spurts), it’s manageable. (also, since pain is the inevitable midwife of hairlessness, I can deal with it.) My upper lip is now smooth as a spoon.
