Hard Wax Benefits

When you buy hard wax, you're choosing a product that’s ideal for sensitive skin and coarse hair. Unlike soft wax, it only adheres to the hair, making it less painful and perfect for areas like the face, underarms, and bikini line.

Hard wax’s shrink-wrap effect allows for precise hair removal with fewer applications, reducing irritation and leaving skin smooth and irritation-free. It also requires no strips, making the process quicker and more efficient.

For an easier, more comfortable waxing experience, buy hard wax to enjoy:

Less pain and irritation
Precision with fewer applications
Versatility for full-body use

Hard Wax Beads

Our hard wax beads are loved by both beginners and enthusiasts for their ease of use and quick melting.

Perfect for all-over use, they provide smooth, long-lasting results without the need for strips.

Hard Wax Tablets

Nova’s hard wax tablets are designed for quick, even melting.

Ideal for those who prefer compact, mess-free options, they offer the same great results as our beads and are perfect for home or salon use.

Hard Wax Kits

Our hard wax kits come with everything you need—pre-care products, warmers, and hard wax beads or tablets.

Whether you're new to waxing or looking for a complete setup, our kits make it easy to get professional results at home.

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:

Prep the skin with a hard wax pre-care product.

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.

Soft Wax: Requires strips for removal, adheres to the skin, best for areas with fine hair, provides exfoliation, used for speed waxing but cannot be reapplied in the same area.

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.

Best wax ever!!!

I was hearing the most amazing things about Nova wax so I decided to give it a try in my busy waxing salon. I have purchased both soft wax and hard wax as well as the roll on. Amazing!!!! Gets every hair, every time with minimal discomfort to my clients! If you are on the fence about Nova Wax, definitely give it a try. It is by far my new favorite wax!

Love it!

I saw a wax lady on TikTok review this wax. I have bought a lot of hard wax online and they hurt so bad when it comes to doing my own Brazilian wax. But this is the best wax I have ever used and it doesn't hurt at all. I don't get any ingrown hairs and the wax last me a couple of months. 20 out of 10 I will recommend.
