Choosing wax pearls and hard wax beans for at-home hair removal
Want smooth skin without booking a salon appointment? Wax pearls, also known as hard wax beans, let you fit waxing around your own routine. The wax is heated, applied with a spatula and left to set before removal, with no waxing strips needed. Choose a kit to get started or pick up refills and accessories for your existing setup.
A waxing kit or a refill?
If you're new to at-home waxing, a complete wax pearl kit is a practical starting point. Kits bring your waxing essentials together, so you can spend less time shopping for separate tools. Check the individual kit description for its wax quantity, heater and included accessories.
Already have your equipment? Choose 100g or 400g hard wax bean refills. A 100g pack is a handy choice for smaller areas or trying a different scent. A 400g pack makes more sense for larger areas, such as legs, or for keeping your regular waxing supplies topped up.
Choose your scent and equipment
Make your waxing routine feel more personal with options including lavender, strawberry, honey, rose, chocolate, chamomile and green tea. Choose the scent you enjoy, then check the product details for its recommended uses.
- Wax heaters: a dedicated heater helps maintain the wax temperature while you work.
- Wax spatulas: use these to spread the melted wax evenly over the area you're waxing.
- Roll-on wax: choose a cartridge if you prefer a roll-on application format. Follow its own equipment and removal instructions rather than treating it as hard wax beans.
- Nose wax kits: choose a purpose-made kit for this specific use and follow the supplied instructions carefully.
Plan your waxing routine
Whether you're getting ready for a holiday, a night out or your everyday routine, choose wax suited to the area you want to wax. Follow the product's heating and application instructions, check the temperature before use and allow hard wax to set before removing it. Having your heater, wax and spatulas ready makes the process easier to organise.
Do wax pearls need waxing strips?
No. Hard wax pearls set after application and are removed without strips. This does not necessarily apply to other wax formats, such as roll-on cartridges.
Can I use wax pearls on my face and body?
Wax pearls can be used for facial and body waxing, but always check that the individual product is suitable for your intended area. Follow its instructions, especially when waxing smaller or more delicate areas.
What do I need to start using hard wax beans?
You'll need wax beans, suitable heating equipment and spatulas for application. A complete kit is a convenient option for beginners. If you're buying separately, check each product's instructions and the kit contents before choosing.
