Very few beauty brands remain industry leaders for nearly a century.
In professional waxing, longevity isn't built on marketing—it's earned through consistent performance, continuous innovation, professional education, and the trust of licensed estheticians.
For more than 90 years, Perron Rigot has helped shape the professional waxing industry through groundbreaking technology, award-winning products, and a commitment to helping estheticians succeed.
A legacy built on innovation
Founded in 1936 in Paris, France, Perron Rigot quickly established itself as a pioneer in professional hair removal.
Today, the company is:
-
Trusted by professionals in more than 80 countries
-
Holder of over 20 depilatory wax patents
-
Recognized with numerous professional awards for innovation and product excellence
-
Continuously developing new technologies for modern estheticians
While many beauty brands come and go, Perron Rigot has continued evolving alongside the profession without compromising the quality that built its reputation.
That's why generations of estheticians continue to trust the brand every day.
The innovations that transformed professional waxing
Throughout its history, Perron Rigot has introduced technologies that have fundamentally changed the waxing experience for both professionals and clients.
The invention of patented stripless hard wax
In the 1980s, Perron Rigot revolutionized the industry with the first patented stripless hard wax featuring elastomer technology.
Inspired by the flexibility of chewing gum, these innovative formulas wrapped around the hair instead of aggressively adhering to the skin, allowing for cleaner, more comfortable hair removal.
This breakthrough eventually led to the creation of Cirépil Blue Hard Wax, which remains one of the brand's most iconic and award-winning products worldwide.
Low-temperature waxing technology
Perron Rigot also pioneered low-temperature waxing, allowing both hard and soft waxes to perform effectively at lower working temperatures.
Lower application temperatures help improve client comfort while reducing unnecessary heat exposure, making professional waxing a more pleasant experience without compromising performance.
Today, low-temperature technology remains one of the defining characteristics of Cirépil professional waxes.

Rosin-free formulas for sensitive skin
As skincare continued to evolve, Perron Rigot introduced the industry's first rosin-free hypoallergenic waxes, designed specifically for clients with sensitive skin.
This innovation gave estheticians even more flexibility when treating delicate skin while maintaining exceptional hair removal performance.
Performance professionals can rely on
Great waxing products don't become industry standards by chance.
Professional estheticians need wax that performs consistently—whether they're treating brows, Brazilians, legs, or full-body waxing clients.
Over the years, Cirépil has become known for:
-
Thin application
-
Excellent flexibility
-
Strong hair adherence
-
Client comfort
-
Consistent performance
-
Professional reliability
When wax performs predictably from one appointment to the next, estheticians can work more confidently and efficiently.

For Perron Rigot, innovation has never stopped with product development.
The company has long believed that great waxing results depend on both high-quality products and exceptional education.
Over the decades, Perron Rigot has invested in professional training to help estheticians master:
-
Proper wax application
-
Skin preparation
-
Temperature control
-
Client consultations
-
Post-wax care
-
Advanced waxing techniques
Today, licensed estheticians can continue developing their skills through online and in-person professional waxing education, helping them build confidence while delivering safer, more efficient services.
Why professionals continue choosing Cirépil
In a busy treatment room, consistency matters.
Estheticians don't want surprises—they want products they can rely on service after service.
That's why so many professionals continue choosing Cirépil.
The combination of predictable performance, client comfort, and professional education has created long-term trust within the esthetics community.
For many waxing professionals, Cirépil isn't simply another wax brand—it's part of the system they rely on every day.
Client comfort has always been the priority
Modern clients expect more than effective hair removal.
They expect treatments that feel:
-
Comfortable
-
Professional
-
Efficient
-
Clean
-
Respectful of the skin
Cirépil's flexible formulas and low-temperature technology have helped redefine what clients expect from professional waxing.
More comfortable services often lead to better client retention, greater confidence, and stronger long-term business growth for estheticians.

More than 90 years later, the mission remains the same
The beauty industry changes constantly.
New brands appear every year, but very few remain trusted by professionals for nearly a century.
Maintaining that level of longevity requires more than good marketing.
It requires continuous innovation, exceptional education, consistent product performance, and the confidence of licensed estheticians around the world.
For more than 90 years, Perron Rigot has continued to meet those expectations while helping shape the future of professional waxing.
As the company has always believed:
"It isn't what we remove, but what we leave behind—beautiful skin. A true beauty treatment."
