Premium Hard Wax Products


Hard wax is a stripless wax designed for all-over body use, including the face. Stripless means that the wax hardens on the skin and can be removed without the need for cloth or paper strips.

Unlike soft wax, hard wax adheres to the hair follicle rather than the skin, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Our hard wax comes in two forms: beads and tablets, both of which melt quickly and spread evenly on large and small areas.

Hard wax has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll understand why it’s preferred by professionals, students, and at-home users. Check out our full guide on how to use hard wax for more detailed instructions. Here are the basics:

  1. Warm the wax beads or tablets until they reach a honey-like consistency.
  2. Prep the skin with a hard wax pre-care product.
  3. Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth using a spatula.
  4. Wait for the wax to set, then create an edge for easy removal.
  5. Hold the skin taut and pull the wax against the hair growth for a smooth finish.

Hard wax is safe for all skin and hair types, making it a great choice for anyone, especially those with sensitive skin. 

Unlike soft wax, it doesn’t adhere to the skin, reducing irritation. Nova's hard wax is packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like mineral oil and titanium dioxide to enhance comfort and effectiveness.

The ideal temperature for hard wax is around 140°F (60°C). Always use a wax warmer for consistent heating and avoid overheating.

No, hard wax is designed for use with wax warmers. Microwaving can lead to uneven heating and poor results.

Yes, as long as you don’t double-dip and use a fresh spatula for each application, you can reheat hard wax multiple times until the wax pot needs to be refilled.
