SHIPPING
How long does it take to ship out an in stock item?
Items that are in stock ship the same day when ordered before 11am MST time. Items not on pre-order that are ordered after 11am MST time will ship the next day.
The item I want to purchase says “pre-order” . What does that mean?
Pre-orders are inventory that is currently in transit to us. Delivery time varies for these items. Each product page should have an estimated delivery date. Please keep in mind that in the world today shipping times have changed and slowed down. We do everything we can to stick to the estimated delivery date, but things out of our control do happen. If a delay does happen we will email an update to you.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes, we ship all over the world. Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. We run discounts and promotions all year, so stay tuned for exclusive deals. Free Shipping applies ONLY for the US continental territory. It doesn’t include Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or any US island. Free shipping will generally take longer than standard shipping. There may be delays with the carrier. HoneyComb Wax Co. will not be responsible for these delays.

HARD WAX
Does your wax come in beads or cans?
Our hard wax comes in honeycomb shapes. We love how cute our pucks are and know you will too. Our soft wax is packaged in cans, and cartridges.
What are the ingredients of the hard wax?
Glycerol Rosinate, Microcrystalline Wax, Paraffin Wax, and Paraffin Liquidum
What makes your hard wax different?
There are many factors that set us apart from different brands. Our hard wax is 100% made in the USA and is sustainably sourced by other small business owners. Our wax was sent to dozens of estheticians before hitting the market. They have all said Smooth Nectar Hard wax applied smoother, and is more pliable and gentle to the skin than our competitors. Try it for yourself by purchasing our sample kit.
Is the hard wax good for sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Our hard wax is gentle and glides smoothly. It is lower in melting temperature by 5 degrees (Wild Honey) and 10 degrees (Smooth Nectar). The only contraindication in the wax is pine, from the rosin.
What is the best temperature for the hard wax?
Wild Honey Hard Wax is best melted at 60C in small warmers and 70C in large warmers. Smooth Nectar Hard Wax is best melted at 50C in small warmers and 60C in large warmers. Look for a cake batter consistency that is not dripping off the stick.
What is the best application method for hard wax?
We recommend prepping non-sensitive body areas with cleanser and a small bit of oil on a paper towel. Sensitive areas do not need oil, but cornstarch can be used lightly to absorb moisture. Wild Honey should be applied thin and will be ready to remove quickly after application. Smooth Nectar requires a thicker application and no more than 8 inch strips but is also ready to be pulled quickly.
Which hard wax is best for coarse and fine hair?
Wild Honey Hard Wax! For coarser hair: the wax should be applied thicker and with more pressure, but should come out smoothly. Fine hairs will want a “film” applied and pulled immediately after application.
Will the hard wax remove even short hair?
Yes and No... There is a growth factor involved here. Baby peach fuzz that is ready to be removed will come out, but if the hair isn’t in the right growth phase it won’t come out.
Does it spread well enough to make large strips?
Absolutely! Your technique and experience is a huge factor in this. You’ll want a thicker consistency for a larger area to avoid the wax from breaking, but if enough wax is on your stick, you can apply a thick layer and pull slowly for larger body parts like legs and arms.
How flexible is it? Does it crack?
Wild Honey is designed to be the most flexible and least likely to crack. Both waxes will remain flexible if removed in the proper amount of time.
Is your wax FDA approved?
In the cosmetic industry this is a marketing gimmick that companies use to make you think their products are better. There isn’t an “approval” of cosmetic products. There is a registry that manufacturers can opt in to using, but as far “sending something in and FDA says “Oh yes, this is a good product” it just doesn’t exist. Our wax is 100% compliant to FDA standards and our ingredients are 100% compliant to FDA standards. Some of the skin care lines cross over to “OTC drugs” and they can get FDA approval because of the classification they fall under. Waxing does not fall under a drug because we don’t make any claim to changing the structure of the skin.
SOFT WAX
Why is the wax so sticky?
Our soft wax is extremely sticky in order to be applied very thin to be removed with a soft wax strip to remove hairs. Our Smooth Nectar Soft Wax has a low working temperature of 36-38C, as consistency should be like honey/ molasses. We do recommend to cleanse the skin along with a light layer of oil (remove excess with paper towel) before applying soft wax.
What are the ingredients of your soft wax?
Glyceryl Rosinate, Mineral Oil
WAX TROUBLESHOOTING
Why is the wax not removing any hair?
There are three reasons for this. The most common is temperature of the wax itself. Please consult the temperature on the How To page of the wax. The next is the prep. Often there is too much moisture or too little oil after cleansing. If a sensitive area, likely this is due to too much moisture, add a very little bit of cornstarch and remove any excess. If it is a body area, likely this is due to the application itself. Please consult the individual directions of each product.
Why is my wax still gummy after waiting for wax to set?
There can be a few reasons why your wax is gummy.
1. You haven’t waited long enough.
2. The client may be sweaty. If your client is sweaty, it can cause the wax to take a long time to set. Before applying the wax, wipe skin with a paper towel to remove the moisture from the client.
3. The client may be too hot. Room temperature is important in the waxing process regardless of brand you use. Make sure your room is a comfortable temperature. If your client is still too hot, try using a handheld fan to cool them down.
4. You may be in a high humidity environment. Add a dehumidifier to your room or use cornstarch in the prep (remove excess).
I am having trouble with my wax cracking and breaking? What am I doing wrong?
There can be a few causes for wax cracking.
1. You may have applied a strip to thin. Thin strips should only be used for small areas like the brow, lip, or clean up strips. You want your strip to be thicker in consistency for other areas of the body.
2. You waited too long for the strip to set. This can be hard to tell and may take time to learn the wax for your clients and how to identify when to pull it up. If the wax is hard like a typical polymer wax you will have cracking and breakage. You want the strip to still stay tacky and pliable.
3. The client's skin has not been hydrated enough and needs additional prepping. When a client's skin is dry it can pull the moisture out of the wax. Apply a small amount of BeeSmooth to the clients skin before applying the wax. This will give the wax a barrier from the clients skin.
4. You are applying the wax when it is too hot. You want the wax to ball on your stick. If it is dripping off it is too hot.
How long does the wax take to melt?
If you are using your HoneyComb Honeypot, you can easily melt 5 pounds of wax in as little as 30 minutes. Turn the dial all the way up and wait. Make sure you turn it back down to get the right consistency.
I am still having trouble. Do you have a video to help guide me?
Yes we do! You can go to this youtube video to get a better understanding of how our wax works.

WARRANTY
Do wax warmers come with a warranty?
Absolutely they do! We offer a 1 year warranty on all of our warmers purchased before 9/26/22 and a 2 year warranty all warmers purchased on 9/26/22 or after.
Please note: abuse of the warmer or failure to use our insert will result in your warranty being default.
We have a few options to help you with your warranty. One is that you return the broken warmer to us and then we will ship out the new one. Another option we have to help bridge the time gap is you purchase a new warmer and send us the old one. Once we get the broken warmer we will refund the purchase price of the new warmer. We know how important it is for you to stay in business and broken equipment shouldn’t halt your business, which is why we offer this option.
Do I need to use the insert that comes with the warmer?
Yes! These help ensure that your warmer stays clean and allow you to switch out your wax or warmer if needed. If you have issues with them spinning, you can put one drop of wax underneath it to help secure it.
