KOTAMU Waxing Kit, Professional Wax Warmer for Women & Men Hair Removal

If you want to give at-home waxing a try, this kit is a good way to go! Everything I needed was in the kit. The wax beads melted well, and the temperature control feature worked with no problems. I really like the silicone insert with the wide collar around it, because it’s harder to make a big mess. Some reviewers have complained about the smell of the melting wax beads, but I don’t think it’s a bad smell. When I purchased this kit at the start of July 2026, it was 49.99. That’s far less than most salons would charge for a single session where I live, if you’re waxing a larger area. My review is for this product, and I really think it’s a good deal on a quality product. However, as I said in the subject line, I’m not sure waxing is the best way for me to manage my hair issues at this stage in my life. If I hadn’t taken the plunge and tried this kit, I would never have learned that my Sasquatch genes cause my hair to grow back so quickly after waxing. I was hoping for maybe a month of smoothness. This is an issue with me, not the product. I am looking into other options, like IPL. But if I want to try waxing some areas again, I’ve got this nice little kit to fire up.

Bought this wax warmer after deciding I wanted to save a bit of extra money and wax myself. Seen some bad reviews and decided to look at other wax warmers but ultimately went with this one. Upon opening I was very impressed with the packaging and quality of the warmer. Came in this cute pinkish color and felt pretty high quality for 30$. Overall I was very impressed with how easy it was to use, The quality, Heat temperature, and hard wax bead quality. This is a very high quality warmer for 30$ and is a long term investment if you wanna save the 30-40$+ each time you get waxed anywhere else, price ultimately depends on where you’re getting waxed for me legs is standard 30-40$ where I live. However, I do recommend getting bigger bags of the wax beads, and different type beads for waxing different hair types. (ex. Brazilian wax would need beads for coarse thick hair) which was not included. Pink beads are for eyebrow hairs and any thin hair. The creamish white beads work for legs if that’s all you got but I recommend getting different bead types. If you have sensitive skin I recommend doing a small test on your arm or leg to make sure you have no kind of reaction. I do not have sensitive skin, my skin can typically handle mostly any kind of product as I have never reacted negatively to anything I’ve put on my skin so I went all in. (Note: Wax spatula seen in video NOT included bought separately) (Note: does NOT come with pre wax or after wax) 1. The first picture is everything you will get, 1pack two size sticks, 2 pack hard wax beads for fine/thin hair, 2 pack hard wax beads for thicker hair, Instructions + 5 year warranty, Wax warmer lid, silicone bowl and the warmer itself. 2. After setting it up which was extremely easy, just remove packaging wrapper and put the silicone bowl in the smaller metal bowl it comes with then plug in and turn the dial to your preferred heat. (I did Max heat 240 then turned down to 185-190 and kept within that range) Cord is somewhat small so make sure it’s on a flat surface. In my case, I needed a stool since it did not reach my sink. 3. The easiest way I found to clean it was letting the wax fully cool and turning the silicone bowl inside out and taking it off with my hands, then using a flushable wipe, baby wipe or any wet wipe to wipe off the rest clean. This left my legs feeling irresistibly smooth and soft. This was also my first time using a wax warmer and waxing myself. Extremely beginner friendly!

First, let me say the price is excellent. Even if I only use this once, it's worth it. But it is not for the faint of heart. If you have trouble ripping off a band-aid, then this is not for you. Next, let me say, I have never waxed any part of me myself. In fact, I only started getting bikini waxes around a year ago because I had wrist surgery and it was summer and well ... you understand. Anyway, desperate times call for desperate measures. With no end to the plague lockdown in sight and me looking like a 70s porn star and summer coming 'round AGAIN, I decided to try my hand at waxing. So, I am a true beginner. The kit came packaged nicely with everything shown in the pictures and clear, detailed instructions. I would have liked to have the different wax beads labeled. I had to go to the website to remind myself what color is best for what body part. But after reading the instructions (and watching a video I found for good measure), I was ready to clear the forest, so to speak. I decided, even though I usually shave my legs, to practice getting used to working with the wax by doing my lower legs first. I basically got the hang of it by the end of leg one and there was zero pain. Now, here, I'm gonna note a little drawback - I was surprised by how quickly the wax was used up. I was hoping one bag of beads would do both lower legs and bikini, given that, as a post-menopausal woman, I have very little leg hair. But by the end of my lower legs, the wax was gone and I had to melt a second bag, which definitely took some of the wind out of my sails. This could have been because I had to do some areas twice, though, while I was getting used to the technique. Anyway, with the second bag melted, I was ready for the main event. The opening act - sides - went pretty well. I did have a bit of trouble with the first strip and ended up with a little bruising on the right, but the other side went better. It really does work great and I imagine if you know what you're doing, this is easy-peasy. I, however, do not know what I'm doing. And here I'll note another small issue. I had some trouble keeping the wax at the right consistency. It was either too runny or too thick a good portion of the time. And little threads of wax got everywhere, try as I might to leave them in the pot. But, again, I am a beginner, so I probably just need more practice. Which leads me to... Act Two: The "undercarriage" shall we say. This is where I discovered waxing should never be done while on a bath mat or towel. Also, it's really damn hard to wax upside down. The video I watched suggested standing with your foot up on a counter or the toilet. With my foot up on the counter, trying to get the right angle to spread the wax, I ended up waxing the bath mat. Dammit. So I moved to the toilet. This is where I learned that it's much better to drip wax on the tile floor. Once it hardens, it pops right off. Other than that, though, the toilet was a better height than the counter. Any issues I had were mainly user error. I need practice. A lot of practice. And I probably will go back to getting my intimate areas professionally waxed once salons open again in my area. But I will definitely use this again for my legs and I might even try eyebrows. The next challenge will be cleaning the wax out of the pot. Preliminary investigation indicates it will probably take a bit of elbow grease, but the wax should come off. Hope this was helpful!

I’d like to state that I am a novice at waxing. I have a terrible reaction to shaving. No matter the blade, technique, or aftercare product, I seem to always end up with terrible razor bumps that hurt badly. With summer coming up, I decided I’ve had enough and want to feel confident showing my legs again. I did quite a bit of research regarding different products and how to wax properly. I watched lots of videos as well- some helpful and some scary. But I quickly learned the scary ones were truly human error or a lack of practice. I’m hoping that sharing my experience can help another beginner like me! Since I wasn’t sure how my skin would react to waxing, I didn’t want to spend a fortune. But I also wanted to do it right. This was a wonderful deal. The warmer is super cute (I got the pink one), and it’s small enough to fit on my bathroom shelf. It’s also not an eye sore and I don’t feel the need to hide it somewhere. Shipping was fast and everything was exactly as described. The manual was very helpful, although I do think it could have touched more on how to operate the actual warmer. However, it ended up not being an issue because it’s easy-peasy. After plugging in and pouring your wax beads, you simply turn the dial to the temp you’d like. 155-160 was perfect for me. The manual does address this, but you must remember that the warmer is going to reach its max temp in order to fully melt the wax (240 something- extremely hot!) The digital reader will rise and then fall back down to your set temp. There’s also a red/green light to let you know when it’s ready (it took about a total of 10-15 minutes.) Test a small amount on your inner wrist before diving into it. This will give you an idea of how it will feel and if the consistency is correct. I feel that it needs to be a bit thicker than honey… more like condensed milk. There is definitely a learning curve to this whole process. Holding horizontally and twisting the stick is your best friend. This helps to create a bulb at the end of the stick. I recommend also using an up and down motion as you twist, similar to a handshake, to separate any strings hanging onto the bulb. If there is any dripping, the wax is way too hot, but this should not happen if you keep it between 155-160. I started on my leg and the technique wasn’t hard to learn, but I was getting sad when I wasn’t picking up much hair. I took a break from that and tried my armpit. This is where I learned a lot. Because my armpits are more sensitive than my legs, and I was anxious about the pain, I peeled the wax much sooner than I was before. It ripped out every hair. And I mean ALL of it. And the pain was so minimal, it took me all of 2 minutes to finish both armpits. The directions say to peel after 30-45 seconds, but this was too long and was making the wax un-stick to my hair. I found more success in waiting about 10 seconds, and so the rest of the waxing was smooth sailing. I’m sure it can be different for people with other hair types and directions of growth, but I think patience and practice is key. I let my coarser hairs grow a bit longer than a grain of rice (which was an annoying 3 weeks, but it’s worth it!) My hairs grow at different speeds and thickness, so I can feel some of the small, finer hairs still. But I know waxing has to be done multiple times before it’s uniform and/or stops growing. You can always tweeze anything noticeable leftover. Overall, I am so satisfied and impressed with this purchase and couldn’t recommend it enough, especially for someone wanting to learn how. It's been 24 hours and normally I’d be covered in painful bumps, but my skin is silky smooth and clear! I love that they also sell Kotamu wax beads separately so that you can keep using the brand if you adore it like I did!

I really liked this wax kit! It was easy to use, warmed up nicely, and the wax removed hair effectively without leaving my skin feeling too irritated. The kit came with everything I needed, and the results lasted longer than shaving. It’s a great option for doing waxing at home and saving money. I would definitely recommend it!

This waxer works pretty well, it’s my first time waxing and I think it turned out alright (after some trial and error). Unfortunately, there is an odor and it gave me an awful headache, if you’re sensitive to smells like me beware.

This wax warmer works great and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’ve been using it for quite a while and it’s still working perfectly. It heats the wax well, is easy to use, and has lasted much longer than I expected. Definitely a good product that does its job!

A fantastic machine. What I like most is the temperature memory function and the fact that it keeps the wax at the perfect temperature throughout the hair removal process without overheating. The touch buttons are very responsive, and the inner pot is non-stick, making it incredibly easy to clean.

Dear Kotamu and Amazon KSA, When you wish to sell an electric product, the voltage and adapter of said product should not be secondary in terms of priorities. I was waiting for the machine only to be faced by this: The power adapter is made for the US and same for the 120 voltage of the machine (not mentioned in the description too!) while Saudi Arabia outputs support 240 V. Diagraceful!

I was really pleased with how this wax warmer was working, and the wax was great too. However sadly the machine turned itself off and stopped working only 20 minutes of first use. I don’t know whether mine is faulty or what happened, but any advice would be greatly appreciated..

i love the wax warmer in this kit and the silicone insert that it comes with, makes for easy wax removal so you don’t have to spend time cleaning it out. on the other hand, the wax beads that come with this kit didn’t do too well for me. i would recommend buying the wax melter and different brand beads for best outcome!

Works perfectly well. FYI, With one 100g packet of the wax beads I was able to wax my legs from foot to knee, underarms, upper lip and side burns. Does not bruise and effectively removes unwanted hair.

DO NOT BUY!!!!! I bought this as a gift for my sister after she had been begging me for months we got it and it was working great 3 months later it stopped working out of nowhere. Still turns on but doesn’t get hot enough to melt beads. The seller refuses to contact me back after multiple attempts of reaching out. The seller page it says return or exchange 100% guaranteed if you are not happy with the purchase but they don’t want to return or exchange your product! They will give you the run around and won’t replace the damaged items, these are cheaply made and not meant to last BEST ADVICE: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!
