I used Parissa's Warm Wax for over a decade, and I still find that to be the most effective on both coarse and fine hair; I'm sorry they've discontinued it. This sugar wax does a decent job overall, though misses some finer hairs. Granted, however, it IS much easier to clean up than the warm wax, so that's a plus.
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your kind review. Just so you're aware, we still offer the Parissa Warm Wax, it is only been renamed the Vegan Warm Wax as we recently achieved "Vegan Certification" for this item. You can find and purchase this item from the online parissa store or from Amazon. Thank you for choosing Parissa.
After having such a great first experience with Parissa's wax strips, I was excited to try their Face and Body Wax, and it did not disappoint!😊
Preparation was super easy. You simply warm the wax in the microwave in 10 second increments until it reaches the right consistency. Then, apply a thin layer, place a waxing strip over the area, and pull away against the direction of hair growth. It was so easy to work with, gentle on my skin, and most importantly, it actually worked really well!
I had started feeling a little self conscious about my facial hair, so being able to remove it easily from the comfort of my own home was such a confidence boost. My skin is now so smooth, clear, and hair free, and I love the results! 🥰
I also used it on my armpits, which made me a little nervous because I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and quite a bit of scarring in that area. I was happy to find that the wax was very gentle on my skin, even around my HS scars, and I didn't experience any irritation.
Overall, I had another great experience with Parissa! The process was simple, the wax was easy to work with, and my skin feels incredibly smooth. I’m definitely adding this to my at home waxing routine! 💕
I just started my waxing journey with Parissa, and these wax strips are exactly what I needed! The application and removal were surprisingly easy, and honestly, I thought waxing was going to be much more painful than it actually was. For me, it was barely painful at all, and I genuinely had fun with the whole process!
All you have to do is warm the strips by rubbing them between your palms, pull them apart, apply them to the desired area, and pull them off against the direction of hair growth. Then you use the soothing oil that’s included, and voilà! Soft, smooth skin right from the comfort of your own home. 🥰
This was especially comforting for me because I struggle with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), which causes painful abscesses, inflammation, and a lot of scarring. Areas like my armpits and groin can be especially sensitive because of flares and scar tissue, so I was nervous about how my skin would react to waxing.
I’m so happy to say that I experienced no irritation and no worsening of my HS after using these strips, and my skin feels incredibly soft! Of course, everyone’s skin and HS are different, but I was really pleased with how gentle this experience was for me.
I’m so glad Parissa was my first waxing experience, and I can’t wait to use these again! 💕
I love prissa scent free formula…its is so smooth and gentle on skin 💜my girlies love the result 💜
Hi Kulveer! We're so happy to hear you and your girlies love the Parissa Hot Wax Pods Refills. Thanks for sharing your lovely feedback!
This soap has been amazing I would like to order more soon .
Hi Barbara, we're so glad to hear you love the Ingrown Rescue Soap! This product is also one of my personal favourites. We look forward to your next order. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Waxxing is not everyone's favourite activity, going to a salon and paying for a leg wax sometimes feels unnecessary. Parissa has made a wax strip that is effective, easy to use, and very affordable. Still hair free after 10 days!
Hi Stacy, we're so glad you love our Leg & Body Wax Strips! Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Parissa. Enjoy your hair-free days!
The face/lip was is easy to use and effective as well they work! I've been using them for years now.
Amazing customer service!!! My wax strips didnt works and sent new ones that were perfect.
Hi Barbara, thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear the new strips worked well for you. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out! I've also sent you another email since the rating you provided was 1 star, but your comments seemed that you were happier than one star. Thank you.
I’ve bought these leg strips for years. I don’t know what’s now happened to the formula. Every package I’ve bought the wax is dried up. Rubbing them to warm them and soaking them in hot water is marginally successful. I’ve paid way too much to have work this hard.
Thanks for being a long-time customer. We haven't changed the wax formula - I'm so sorry the product didn't perform to it's usual high standard.
What you've described can sometimes happen with older product. Over time, wax strips can dry out and become less effective, particularly if it has been exposed to moisture, high heat or fluctuating storage conditions.
We'd appreciate the opportunity to make things right. If you could contact us at hello@parissa.com with the batch number from the package, we'd be happy to investigate and help. It's important to us that you're satisfied with our product results.
I have been using Parissas Organic Sugar wax for legs & body for almost 5 years now. I absolutely love it! I love how the wax is so easy to use and comes off with warm water. It is all natural and nothing bad in it for the environment. It is the only product I use for hair removal and I will always be so grateful I found this company. Hopefully one day they will return to selling it at Whole Foods Market :/
I don’t know what they did with their wax formula. It looks different now and doesn’t grab the hair as well as it used to. Works okay but not as good as old formula.
Also I don’t want the little bottle of liquid. Does anyone actually use that stuff?
Serious question.
Hi Schuyler, Thanks for the feedback. We haven't changed the wax formula. One possibility with the issue you've experienced is the age of the product. Over time, wax strips can dry out and become less effective, particularly if storage conditions are less than ideal.
Please reach out to us at hello@parissa.com with the batch number from the package, and the place of purchase and we'd be happy to investigate and make things right.
As for the little bottle of oil, many customers use it to remove any residual wax left on the skin after waxing. It can also help soothe and moisturize the skin following hair removal. We even have lots of people who purchase the full size version.
Legs and Body wax strips are easy to use and give great results each time.
Thank you for the positive feedback, Kieth! We love the Wax Strips too - they're the easiest product we make, and they're simply the most convenient for first timers and for travel.
this is only oil that can remove the excess wax or any stickiness from the vegan non washable wax. great product.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Mahsina. We’re thrilled to hear the Ultra Soothe Oil worked so well for you.
Parissa Ultra Soothe Oil was designed specifically to help remove residue from non-water washable waxes while also leaving the skin feeling soft, moisturized, and calm after waxing. The blend includes nourishing oils and botanicals to help support the skin post-epilation.
For a lighter, faster-absorbing option focused primarily on wax clean-up, our Parissa Azulene Oil is another great choice. Azulene is more minimalist in formulation and especially loved by customers and professionals who want quick residue removal with a clean, fragrance-free finish.
Thank you again for supporting Parissa, a family business, committed to sourcing and producing in North America.
Loving this soap bar .The natural oil ‘s of Wild mint and tea tree ,smell yummy .Forms a rich lather ,softening my skin and helping with the ingrown hairs .
Happy customer .
Thanks for the review, Tracey! The Ingrown Rescue Soap is one of my favourite products too. Not only great for ingrowns, but for a daily refreshing shower.
It's a learning curve to use this but I'm getting the hang of it. I love it soo much! Way better than regular waxing. I love that they're natural and local!
Hi Kristina, Great to hear you're loving the Parissa No-Strip Sugaring Paste. Although a little challenging to start, this is the most ecological and gentle method for hair removal. We love that local is as important to you as it is to us. Thank you for supporting our woman-owned family business!
i love these waxing strip so much, this makes my life way more easy, in my busy schedule this is the perfect stuff i willing to use every time and the quality is amazing ....love it.
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you had a great experience with Parissa Wax Strips. Smooth. Clean. Simple. is what we're about.
I've been using these for years and love them. I will no longer order through Amazon as I was able to secure free direct shipping by ordering in bulk (with a discount code) straight from the retailer. Shipping was super fast and these wax strips will last me about a year!
