How Long Does My Hair Need to Be for Waxing? Tips from The Nail Squad

One of the most important things to consider before your waxing appointment at The Nail Squad is your hair length. Clients often ask, “How long does my hair need to be for waxing?” The answer is simple: your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice).
This ensures that the wax can effectively grip the hair for optimal removal, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free.
Why Hair Length Matters
If your hair is too short, the wax may not be able to adhere properly, resulting in patchy removal and unnecessary discomfort. On the other hand, if your hair is too long, it can increase the tugging sensation, making the process less comfortable. Finding the right length is key to an efficient and comfortable waxing session.
Preparing for Your Waxing Appointment
Here are some tips to ensure your hair is the perfect length for waxing:
1. Let It Grow
If you’ve been shaving, give your hair at least 2–3 weeks to grow out before your waxing appointment. This allows the hair to reach the ideal length.
2. Trim If Necessary
If your hair is longer than 1/2 inch, consider trimming it slightly. Don’t worry—our skilled technicians at The Nail Squad can handle this for you during your session if needed.
3. Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and help the wax grip the hair better.

At The Nail Squad, we use Depileve wax, a premium product designed to work efficiently with hair of the recommended length. Here’s why we love Depileve for waxing:
