Wonder Wax Reviews and Product Info

Have you seen advertisements for a product known as Wonder Wax, which is advertised as an alternative to shaving and laser hair removal? Read our Wonder Wax reviews from editors and readers.

About Wonder Wax

The advertised website in 2013 was getwonderwax.com, which was registered on March 18, 2013. The “official” website for a brief time was myliftaway.com, which was registered in November 2012. It appears that the original getwonderwax.com has returned to the status of “official” website.

A tagline for the product states, “Quick and painless hair removal that lasts up to 8 weeks.”

How much does Wonder Wax cost?

When ordering online, Wonder Wax costs $10 plus shipping & handling of $6.99 which totals $16.99. You can receive a second Wonder Wax by paying another fee of $6.99, bringing you to a grand total of $26.83. (This includes $1.00 “web service fee” and tax of $1.85.)  There is a 30-day money back guarantee but you won’t get your shipping refunded if you decide to send it back.

As of mid-2014 the product is available in many stores, often found in the As Seen on TV section, for about $9.99.

Our Wonder Wax Review

In our tests of Wonder Wax, we tried it on two subjects: a woman’s legs & eyebrows and a man’s chest. Below are notes from these experiences.

• Pain. We wouldn’t describe it as completely pain-free as advertised. Everyone has their own pain threshold, however, so your experience may or may not include the sensation of pain.
• Ease of use. There is a learning curve involved in order to make Wonder Wax work as expected. Professionals make waxing look easy because they are very experienced with the procedure. Such nuances as thickness, speed, and angle make a huge difference. You should not expect to use it flawlessly upon the first use.
• Hair length. The effectiveness of Wonder Wax depends on hair type and length. We had better results on the woman’s eyebrows than the man’s chest. This could have been simply due to differences in length and coarseness of the two subjects’ hair.
• Preparation. Wonder Wax is to be warmed up first, then applied in the direction of the hair growth with one of the applicators.
• Skin conditions. If you have a skin condition or a sunburn, you should avoid using Wonder Wax.
• “Back ordered.” We have heard from a few customers that their products were put on “back order” without being notified. The product is typically supposed to take 3 to 6 weeks to arrive, but being placed on “back order” status can greatly increase the wait.
• Readily available. We have seen the product in numerous stores, and this would appear to be a more convenient way to obtain the product than online.

Hard Wax vs Soft Wax

There are two types of waxing systems: hard and soft. Wonder Wax is a hard wax system. Soft wax systems use strips, are sticky, and can cause irritation – but this method can be more effective on certain hair types. Hard waxing attaches to hair as it dries, and lifts easily from the skin. It is not as messy, uses no strips, and is generally less painful. With this in mind, Wonder Wax is not particularly unique; you can find hard waxing kits at beauty shops such as Ulta, or even at drug stores such as Walgreens. Some waxing professionals examine a subject’s hair type to decide which type of wax is best suited for optimal removal. It is not uncommon for a single waxing session by a professional to include both types.

Bottom Line

Wonder Wax is a hard wax system, similar to those you will find in beauty stores. How effective it is may depend on your hair type and your skill in using the product. We found it to be more effective on some hair types than others. We expect satisfaction to vary greatly among those who try it. To avoid waiting weeks for delivery, you may want to purchase the product locally.
