Each of left eyebrow shaping stencil template strip(s) and right eyebrow shaping stencil template strip(s) comprise the adhesive wax backing, the protective peel off sheet, and the pre-shaped eyebrow cutout. A left eyebrow shaping stencil template strip(s) is preferably removeably-placed over left eyebrow of user to alter a shape of left eyebrow while right eyebrow shaping stencil template strip(s) is preferably removeably-placed over right eyebrow of user to alter a shape of a right eyebrow. | 08-02-2012 |
| 20130103053 | Disposable Hair Removal Apparatus for Nose, Ears, and Small Orifices - A disposable hair removal apparatus for nose, ears, and other small orifices provides a user with the ability to utilizes the depilation method of waxing in the nose, ears, and/or other small orifices currently unsuitable for waxing. The present invention accomplishes this by providing an application method which can contour to the particular shape of a user's body but additionally contains specific curvatures which are able to maximize the contacting surface of the device with the user's unwanted hair follicles. The present invention comprises an ergonomic handle and at least one applicator tip. The applicator tip comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the second section serves as a flexible hinge and or a widened guard. The first section contains the shaped applicator where the wax element is affixed to. After a user removes unwanted hairs from their body the device can be disposed of. | 04-25-2013 |
| 20140236182 | Device and Method For Removing Unwanted Hair - A device for removing unwanted hair includes a housing having a first end and a second end. The first end holds a depilatory product and has a cylindrical shape with a circular opening. A second end has a conical shape with a shaped opening. A plunger fits in the circular opening and mates with the cylindrical shape of the first end of the housing. The housing is made of a rigid polymer and is a microwave safe material. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20140350575 | HAIR REMOVAL SHEET - An apparatus for facilitating removal of wax from a subject in conjunction with a waxing process includes a contact member for positioning against soft wax applied to the skin of a subject.

| 20150127020 | Apparatus and Method for Hair Removal - An apparatus and method for removing hair from the surface of skin may include two elongate elements entwined with one another whereby a local mutual twist is formed along the length of the elements. Each of the elements may be held in place and put into tension by a respective one of two structural members. A method for removing hair may include moving the two structural members with the elements in tension, bringing the bottom end of one member closer to the bottom end of the second member such that the coil travels toward the bottom ends of the elements, and then bringing the top end of one member closer to the top end of the second member, such that the coil travels toward the top ends of the elements. As the coil travels between the top and bottom ends of the elements, it extracts hairs from the skin. | 05-07-2015 |
