I don't typically use strip wax, but for leg waxing I have been using the Satin Smooth Bare.

Have you ever tried Bombshell? Their Rose Petal soft wax is unbelievable!

Nufree, hands down the winner and champ.

My two faves are the Shea butter creamy fruit wax from Flora (sold via spazonepro.com) which is excellent for everything. It is a VERY low-pain wax and most of my clients prefer it for facial waxing to a hard wax. It's great for sensitive skin, and super affordable ($8.50/can)

and the Chocolate gel from Epillyss, which is more expensive (more like $20ish) but it's my ultimate fave. I don't use it because it's expensive, but I love it.

I prefer Cirepil's Ease wax or Cristal Ocean.  Depends on the texture you prefer to work with.  The Ease is a creamy texture and the Cristal Ocean is a gel texture.

Cristal Ocean is best.

I agree with Tiffany, the Cristal Ocean from Perron Rigot is very good. I find that the unscented gel type wax is great for most hair and skin-types. If you're using your own aromatherapy, you may want to stay away from fragranced waxes because they may interfere with your treatment room's atmosphere.

If you like cream strip waxes, Satin Smooth makes a great Titanium wax. It's perfect for sensitive skins too.

GiGi All Purpose Honey Wax - if i'm not mistaken in the name 

also there is a Depileve - Essential Oil Lavender Oil, i like working with it.

I have a HUGE waxing following and I use zinc wax from satin smooth. On EVERYTHING. lol I have clients tell me it almost doesn't even hurt!   I just tried an argon oil/honey wax and I LOVE IT!!!  I only use hard wax for the nostrils and that's it. 

I've never (knock on wood!) had anyone lift or bruise. Which is amazing because I really had no idea what I was doing when I started out.

I would love to try the Nufree Tamara!!!

**Oops - yeah the Zinc wax. It was one of those ingredients found in sunscreen. Stuff's awesome.**

I use zinc by satin smooth too and even though I've tried other kinds I always return to it. It's my fav. I also use cirepil's blue wax. Also one I return to.

Yes, the Blue has perfect pliability! I also use GiGi's Azulene wax. Sometimes I think it's really not so much about the strip wax brand itself (or formulation) as it is more about the technique. Then I go and try other brands; I get looped back to these specific products. Kelsie, I think once you get to know some brands and formulations, you'll find one that is more suitable for your style of waxing and you'll find your favorites that will get the job done!
