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.

Brazilian wax is a type of hard wax formulated to make removing coarser hair (such as bikini area) easier with less irritation to the skin. The first thing to decide when choosing a wax is if you want to use a hard wax or a strip wax. For me, I have coarse hair everywhere and my skin is sensitive to waxing so I find that hard wax works better for everywhere. I literally pulled the brown off my skin trying to use a strip wax on my arm so its either hard wax or shaving. Now, that covers the actual wax itself. If you are talking salon lingo, I believe the word Brazilian refers to what parts you want to be hairless. Brazilian usually means take it all off including between the cheeks. Each waxing experience is personal so feel free to ditch the lingo and just tell your aesthetician what you want! Hope this helps. You can also find a lot of info on GiGis website.

The difference is, the quick wax is to protect the paint of your car. The ultimate quick detailer protects the wax job that protects your paint job. And only use the both for the body of the car. No mirrors. So you buy the quick wax if you have not had a wax job. But I have my car waxed every six months and use the quick detailer to protect the wax job on my car. Hope this helps.

Nope. Hard wax goes on thick and then hardens into a solid body. When it's ready (dry to the touch) you simply peel up a corner and pull in a quick motion. It's like removing a bandaid.

This kit has the all purpose honee wax and the mini pro kit has the "Creme Wax" which is for sensitive skin. I was told by a Sally Beauty Supply associate that the Creme wax does not grab the coarse hairs as well as the all purpose wax does. I'm sure there are a few other differences in the two kits but I think that is the most obvious one.

It's more 'waxy' than 'scoopy', if that makes sense. you have to rub a dab in your hands first, then work through your hair. If you don't rub it in your hands first, and you 'scoop' some out and try to put it in your hair, you'd never get it evenly distributed. It's more like a pomade thing, waxy.

Hey i'm studying to be an esthetician and my depileve azulene creamwax has saved my skin from getting overexfoliated and so it's been a lifesaver to my skin but if you have ingrown hairs you don't want to try to wax them because i think it'll make them worse. When you wax hair off you always want the hair to be a 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch long for best removal results. Also there are a lot of reasons why people can't get waxed so make sure you go to a professional and have them look at the area you want waxed and they'll let you know if you can get waxed or not. In my opinion, It's always best to go to a professional to get waxing done.

SynWax is more durable. It can be a stand alone product, but it's best used before the wax.

I imagine the only difference is the cleansers that come with it. This one came with a daily cleanser which had a little grit to it. The other was a heavily gritted microdermabrasion cleanser.

Don't know but that's the wax I love. Easy to use one bottle last for years if used correct use lightly

In my opinion - the oil (a liquid) is a more deep penetrating treatment, while the cream (pasty) acts more like a finishing treatment. I use both, the oil once a month, and the cream every other month. In combination I believe I'm giving the wood the best conditioning that I can.

I believe the GiGi Pro Waxing kit does not come with as much product such as the slow grow lotion. Other than that I can not think of why they are too different

I don't know the technical answer to this but I've used both and have a preference towards the regular balm. Heavy duty has a green grit that doesn't break down so I feel like my beard is dirty. I think the regular is even a better hold for my beard. HD is a decent hair balm though. Hope that helps.

The Ultimate has more synthetic and slicker ingredients. I use both except if I haven't waxed in the last 4 months I use the Ultimate because it puts a greater gloss shine with out a lot of effort. I use all of the Ultimate series (waxes,compounds) and if you do it once you will be sold on it.

No, it says so on the box that you can use for the bikini line but not a full brazilian wax. Sorry.

Although not common, that is exactly the reason I purchased this pad. I use a mild cleaner wax, and with the mild polishing action of this pad, creates a very fine polishing effect. It also greatly helps when waxing a car that has been neglected as the pad evenly spreads the wax whereas hand washing can make rich color spots in thick pooled wax areas and regular color spots in the thin waxed areas. This pad makes it more even.

Yup, don't recommend it. Great everywhere else. There is another one I have that works good there, it is narrower. It is a little better, but I think for that area wax works best, quick and less pain.

There was no wax. It make the hair softer and help it to grow. I am going to buy some more soon.
