Waxing can only be done when the hair is between 1/4- to 1/2-inch long. This means you should usually wax once every 3 to 4 weeks.

Shaving can be done as often as necessary, but keep in mind that more frequent shaving may cause irritation in sensitive skin.

How much does it cost?

Waxing is slightly more costly than shaving. That’s because waxing is usually performed by trained technicians and provides longer lasting results.

On average, you can expect to pay around $50 to $70 for a waxing appointment. It all depends on the area you want to get waxed.

You can expect to pay much less for smaller areas, such as your eyebrows or underarms.

If you decide to wax on your own, you can expect to pay around $20 to $30. Bear in mind that home waxing may not produce the same results as a professional wax.

With shaving, razors can cost anywhere from a few dollars for a single-blade disposable razor to $50 for an electric razor. However, unlike waxing, razors should last much longer than just one use.

What should you do before your wax or shave?

Prep tips for waxing and shaving are pretty different.

Before a waxing appointment, grow your hair out to at least 1/4-inch long. If it’s longer than 1/2 inch, you might have to trim it.

The day before, make sure you don’t exfoliate, tan, or dry out your skin with swimming. The day of, avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol and wearing lotions or creams.

To decrease pain, take an over-the-counter pain medication 30 minutes before your appointment.

With shaving, grow out your hair to your desired length. Wet the area to soften your skin and hair.

You can gently exfoliate beforehand for a closer shave — just be sure to apply a soothing shaving cream before removing the hair.

How can you ensure your DIY or appointment goes smoothly?

Although hair removal is the end goal of both methods, waxing and shaving have very different processes.

For waxing, here’s what to expect:

First, your technician will clean the area and apply a pre-wax treatment to prevent irritation.
Then, they’ll use a clean application tool — usually a popsicle stick — to apply a thin layer of wax in the same direction of your hair growth.
If it’s a soft wax, they’ll then apply a paper or cloth strip to remove the wax. If it’s a hard wax, they’ll remove the hard wax strip itself. Both methods will be removed against the direction of your hair growth.
Once waxing is complete, the technician will apply a serum or lotion to calm the area and prevents ingrown hairs.
For shaving, here’s what to expect:

After you’ve prepped with water and shaving cream, use your razor to glide against your skin in a long stroke against the direction of hair growth.
Rinse your razor after each time you glide against the skin to remove hair from the razor’s surface.
After all the hair is removed, rinse with warm water to remove the leftover foam. Then close your pores with a rinse of cool water.
To finish, moisturize with a hypoallergenic lotion or cream.
What should you do after your wax or shave?

You can return to exfoliating 24 hours after shaving and waxing. Keep the area moisturized in order to prevent itching and irritation.

What can you do to minimize ingrown hairs and other bumps?

With both methods, there’s a chance for ingrown hairs and temporary bumps. To minimize, make sure to exfoliate beforehand.

If you get an ingrown hair, don’t worry. It happens. Make sure to not pick and prod at the hair, and apply a soothing oil to calm the area.

Which produces more consistent results and how long do they last?

Although the results are fairly similar, there’s one key difference: how long they last.

On average, waxing lasts around 3 or 4 weeks because the hair is removed at the root.

Hair grows back much faster with shaving, though — within 3 days to a week. This is because shaving only removes the top layer of the hair.

The bottom line

Try experimenting with both waxing and shaving to determine which method best suits your specific hair and skin type.

If you want a second opinion, ask a waxing technician at your next appointment. They’ve seen plenty of hair types and can give fairly unbiased advice.
