Abstract: An appliance for aiding in the removal of a hardened wax from a person's body includes a curved member defining a handle for being grasped by a user and a substantially flat spatula for positioning on a person's skin. Cavities are formed in the spatula for receiving a wax in an initially liquid state and allowing the wax to harden within the cavity so that the wax becomes attached to the appliance. The cavities can be linear grooves formed in the spatula, or holes that penetrate all the way through the spatula.
