I've always waxed by myself cause I started as a poor college student, but there's definitely a learning curve. In the beginning, I'd take an Advil about an hour beforehand to help with the pain, but I don't need to do that anymore. For beginners, I would recommend sugar wax like Parissa Body Sugar because in my experience, it's a little less painful, less likely to rip off skin, washes off with soap and water in case you mess up, etc. Because it isn't as "grippy" as normal wax, it can leave some stray hairs behind, but I find the easy clean-up to be super important for DIY. You can play around with how much you want to groom - the mons and labia are going to be more sensitive and painful to wax compared to the areas further away so sometimes I'd just trim those and wax the areas that would peek over the top and sides of a bikini.
I started off using Surgi Wax Brazilian Hard Wax since you don't need any cloth strips - just apply, wait for it to harden slightly and then rip off. I switched to Parissa Strip-Free Hot Wax at some point in college since I didn't have a microwave and only my wax warmer, and it was roughly the same. The issue with strip-free wax is if it's too hard, it's a BITCH to deal with and the only way to get it off is to either cut the hair or melt the wax (owww..) I've also tried the Parissa Warm Wax which uses cloth strips that you rip while the wax is still warm and pliable, and I think this was definitely the application result that yielded the smoothest results. The strip-free wax would only reliably grip hair longer than 0.25", but this one seemed to get it all. If you go to a professional, they'll probably use the warm wax with strips and you'll have really smooth results. (You also don't have to deal with the anxiety of pulling the hair off yourself if you go to someone. :D) These waxes are difficult to clean though. You basically have to wait until they harden so you can chip them off like candle wax or apply oil to loosen it.
I think that was probably more information than you needed, but hope it was helpful! Haha....

If you've ever gotten it done professionally, then you kinda just follow their example. Spread the wax going down then rip up. If the wax is too hot/thin then it hurts, but otherwise its not too bad. I always use this, its the best I've found.

That's what I like to use, it's super easy to use and fool-proof in my opinion.
I buy the Gigi microwavable honey wax kit which works great for all parts of my face (upper lip, chin, eyebrows). I don't actually use the bottles of stuff (concealer and other items), just the wax and linen strips (which I now buy separately because it's cheaper than the kit) but the kit is a good first-experience.
Doing it yourself is easy as long as you don't wig yourself out. Microwave the wax (but not too long, it needs to be viscous, but not runny) and use a popsicle stick or plastic knife to spread a thin lay on your upper lip/wherever in the direction of hair growth. Immediately place a clean section of linen on the wax, rub over the area a few times to get good contact, and rip the linen off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
You upper lip should take about 1-2 minutes (MAX) when you do it yourself. Sometimes the wax doesn't get everything so I go back with tweezers and get the last few hairs. Either azulene oil or baby oil rubbed onto the area afterwards will help sooth the skin as well as get rid of any sticky wax residue. I also like washing my face with warm water after to get all the residue off.
The lovely thing is that you can do it in your home, whenever you need to, as often as you need to, and it's SO much cheaper than going into a salon.
This is what I have. Note - select 1 in the options, it's 66$ for the kit, not 255$.
My mother has been an esthetician for many high end salons and this is the brand she uses. It works great and everything you need is right in the kit to get you started. You don't need to get a warmer with more than one tub spot, honestly, and they have a variety of different kinds of waxes if you have a preference.
Here's one for even cheaper, but I haven't tried this warmer. I'm sure it works just as well. The main thing you want to look for in quality is the wax.

This was the item I buy @ Sephora.
I'm not here to judge; vote with your dollars and life's river will meander en masse towards the path of the most votes.
But people should be aware, before they cast their vote, what the effects are of the vote. If they wish to think cavalierly with a Machiavellian 'survival of the fittest!' chortle that's up to them.
