Getting a salon-quality wax job at home is entirely possible when you have a reliable wax warmer and use a quality wax. When selecting a wax, there are two ways to go—soft wax or hard. Soft wax is thinner, and after you spread it on your skin, you'll need to use a fabric strip to remove the wax and hair. For this reason, many at-home waxers prefer hard wax.
Hard wax is thicker, and it typically has a lower melting point which means it won't feel as hot on your skin. After you apply it, it hardens on your skin, trapping each tiny hair. All you have to do, then, is pull it off with your hands, no fabric strips required. The hard wax beans on this list work with any standard wax warmer, they come in a variety of scents and colors, and they work for all skin types.
If you have super coarse hair, these are the wax beans for you. This extra-strong formula targets thick, stubborn hair and guarantees to remove it. The wax is highly-flexible for easy removal, and it melts quickly so you can get the waxing job over with as quickly (and painlessly) as possible.
If you really want to replicate the salon experience at home, opt for these professional-use wax beans. The high-quality formula is effective and long-lasting and can be used on all types of hair (short, long, coarse, or soft). The wax "shrink wraps" hair for easy and complete removal, so you won't have to worry about any strays being left behind.
We love these lavender-scented wax beans because they smell amazing, are effective, and are made from high-quality, natural ingredients to reduce irritation. The beans produce long-lasting results, so if you already have a wax warmer, go ahead and stock up on everything you need for the perfect at-home wax.
This kit gives you everything you need for home waxing in one package. In addition to six bags of different scented wax beans (lavender, peppermint, lemon, and more), you'll also get applicator sticks and pre and post-wax sprays. The wax itself has a low melting point, so say goodbye to painfully hot wax.
You'll love how much these wax beads smell just like the nostalgic treat. The festive red and white beads release an uplifting peppermint aroma while soothing your skin with chamomile and aloe.
Formulated for sensitive skin, these wax beads are infused with natural aloe extract that soothes delicate skin. This makes it great for large hair removal jobs, where your hair tends to be more coarse.
Bella Verde's hard wax beans are hypoallergenic, and because they do such a good job of sticking to your hair instead of your skin, they work quickly. Plus, few brands offer unscented wax, which makes these a great option for those with sensitivities to smells (or who just prefer things unscented).
Waxing your own bikini line is no easy task, but this formula from Lifestance makes it easier, especially if you're a beginner. The wax has a low melting point, so it won't be too hot on your sensitive skin. As it cools, it develops a firm grip on every hair it touches, which means less waxing overall for you.
Packed with aloe vera, these creamy wax beads actually exfoliate, protect, and nourish your skin as you wax. Good for your face and your body, they pull even the finest hairs out by the root so you stay smoother, longer.
These beans are created specifically for tattooed skin: They have a much lower melting point than other hard wax beans, contain no resin, and their creamy formula works quickly to remove hair from sensitive areas. Before any waxing, your tattoos must be completely healed.
