MY FAVORITE CIRÉPIL WAX
I always say — my favorite Cirépil wax is the one I’m using!
It’s truly hard to choose just one.
I love Blue for nose waxing because of its strength and grip, but Fiorella is my go-to for almost everything else.
It’s fast, efficient, and incredibly flexible — exactly what I need for a smooth and seamless service.
