the machine is good the beads are not [SEP] I have a machine and beads and was not liking how it worked. I could have just bought more beads but I didn't know if it was the beads or the machine. This machine is really good. Clean up is good too. The beads are the worst. I've added pictures when I was doing my face, specifically my upper lip area. You can see in the photos the leftover on my face. It did not get as much hair as I hoped it would. It took washing my face to get it all off. I had to was the tweezers too. I tried to use the tweezers to get the residue off and the left behind fine hairs. I'll keep it for the machine but will be looking for better beads that don't leave reside, are not sticky on the face, and doesn't drip when on medium heat.<br />I've been to a salon to have my legs done to see how she does it. Hers does not drip, it's not too hot, and doesn't leave ANY residue.
