Nad's Hair Removal

N. Hollywood, CA


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

I have used the Sally Hansen wax strips with no problem. The only thing that would happen was it would be a little red and tender for a day. Nad's wax strips is a horrible product that had very bad side effects. The wax strip worked great, except the following day, I had grown itchy bumps. At the beginning they were the same color as your skin, and you couldn't see them, only feel them. It got worse. After 3 days, the spot got swollen, red, and extremely itchy. It was under my chin and neck area. I started having trouble breathing. It felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I went to the ER, since it was a Sunday. They gave me a topical steroid cream and steroid pills.

After 5 days, it was almost cleared up. I took my prednisone every day, and was so thankful it was gone. Then 3 days later, I had another flare up. This time it was red in the circle surrounding the irritated part a week earlier. It was a Sunday again. The pain was worse than before, and to make it worse, I was at a wedding. I left the ceremony and went to the hospital again. I needed to take more prednisone, only with a higher dose, and kept putting the topical steroid on it. To make it short, I ended up gaining 15 pounds in less than 3 weeks, due to the steroid. Thanks a lot, Nad's! I will never buy another product, and will tell others about my experience.

It did not remove hair and left me with burns on my face. I used it as directed and there are bumps where I used the product. I have used professional waxing at a salon, electrolysis and cream hair removal and never had this ever happened, and worst of all it removed no hair at all. I have been treated with steroid products to relieve the burn and cannot wear makeup for weeks.

About three weeks ago, I purchased Nad's hypoallergenic fragrance-free facial wax strips from a Walmart Store in North Fort Myers, FL.

I had a few hair on my face below my eyes. Immediately after using this product, my face would not stop burning. I used the product that came with Nad's to wash my face off and I also tried soap and water but it did not stop the burning. The next day when I woke up, I looked awful. I had huge red marks below both my eyes. It looked like I got beat up bad.

I talked with a doctor who recommended that I use cortaid on it and aloe gel. I have been using these products as well as Neosporin and Vitamin E oil on them for over three weeks now. It is finally starting to clear up a little but still looks awful on my face. The marks that were left by Nad's are black. I am half Spanish and half white but these black marks are so dark that they stand out on me like a sore thumb. I pray to God this goes away.

I hope I do not have permanent scarring for the rest of my life. To think that this product did this that quick, is crazy. I hope I do not have permanent scarring for the rest of my life. To think that this product did this that quick, is crazy. Do not use Nad's that comes in a green and white box. It is really dangerous and could hurt you bad, like it did me.

I have used the Nads Body Hair Removal Strips in the past with no problem. But today, when I tried to wax my legs with them, all the strips did was deposit gobs of wax on my legs which I almost couldn't get off. Strip after strip did the same thing, until I finally gave up and threw the remainder of the box away. When I finally did get all the wax gobs off my legs, I was left with ugly bruising --four days before I go to the beach. Great.

Do not use this product! I followed the directions exactly. It is simple to use and appeared to work for me. Two weeks later, I started feeling bumps under my skin, and the hair was growing back, but this stuff pulls your hair follicle out! The doctor told me 2 weeks later (a month after using it) that I had folicularitis. The hair follicle is trying to grow back in, the hair does not grow in straight but did sideways and erupted into about 150 hard bumps that hurt badly! When they do finally erupt, that damaged hair follicle comes out, and ends up leaving your skin with pea-sized places without any skin pigment whatsoever. I have white circles all over the place that look like a disease!

The doctor says only Lazor treatment may help, and that is only a maybe. It could be a permanent thing! Well, 10 years later, it is a permanent thing and looks horrible!

I have used Nad's hair removal strips for a while, but I am starting to question their safety and effectiveness. On a few occasions now, the Nad's strips have ripped my skin off during use, leaving it raw, tender and eventually scabbed over for days. I also often feel burning after using the product.

Green Nads don't work. Target stores, CVS, and others are being pushed to sell the Green Nads but it don't work. Red does, but the stores are not being offered, and are selling the material that just leaves you sticky and pulls no hair out. It left a sticky mess which is hard to clean and it did not take the hair away as promised.

I bought Nads last week to use on my arms. After I used it, the day after my skin started hurting. It hurt so bad I couldn't put my shirt on. It swells and felt hard as a rock and looks like alligator skin. It still looks the same today and that happened on September 25, 2009.

bought nads hair removal system for the first[and last] time, without worries because they said there was a money back guarantee. The product did'nt do what it said it would. I used it only once, and sent it back. I'm sure it was sent back correctly, because I called to make certain I included everything. I never got my money back. I called several times, they said they did'nt receive it. Also, my return address was on the package. This was a long time ago, and I'm sure I lost the money[$80.00]But of I'd like someone to know about this company.

I love Nads, I have been using it for years and it is wonderful. At first you have to be patient but then it is so easy and my hair on my face and legs are not as thick as before using Nads. I love this product.

I purchased the Nads 24 facial hair removal strips and they are terrible. I used them above my upper lip and on the sides of my face. They left me with what looked to be burns above my lip that have sinced scabbed over and peeled. As well as an awful breakout of acne on the sides of my face. You would think I was using hot wax instead of a room temperature facial strip. Their company should be shut down for creating and selling products that strip off skin.

Nads, that I bought- gel is as hard rock, I just know how to melt, so I can use.

I purchased Nads Hair Removal Product from the local drug store. I assumed it to be wax strips since it does not indicate it to be a chemical; I read the directions carefully. The product did not remove any hair from my face and it said to re use the strips until they do not work. I use it on my chin, upper lip and under my chin. I had to apply it several times to the same area to see any hair removed. My face was very red and hot. I figured it would take a little time to calm down.

In one hour my face was on fire and it was raw! It was swelling and irritated and so hot. By the end of the evening my face was disfigured and the skin was thick and welted and it felt like aligator skin. I went to the urgent care in the morning. I look like a monster!!! The doctor told me I had a very bad chemical burn, I was perscribed burn cream for 3rd degree burn patients, antibiotics, and ibprophen. It has been 4 days, I am in lots of pain, I look like a monster and now my skin in those areas is black. I hace raw skin and the doctor sais he can nbot promise my skin to be the same in those areas ever again.

I am waiting to see what is to happen since this was done to me on monday and this is only thursday. So far it doesn't look like it is going to heal 100%. This is much more than I can imagine from a hair remover. It looks as if i've been burned by battery acid.



The product only works on long hair for eg: men's legs.Also,you have to use so much of it and 1/4 is wasted as it just goes like suger..The product sucks big time.


Just a waste of money for women!


I purchased the Nads Hair Removal Kit at a local Eckerds Drug Store. I read the directions very carefully before I used it. I applied it just as it said on my leg and when I pulled the strip off it was so painful, I nearly cried. Within 5 minutes of taking the strip off it not only did not remove the hair but it caused severe bruising to my leg. My doctor said it basically ruptured the tiny blood vessels in my leg. I have tried to contact the company to complain but have not had any success. I would not recommend this product to anyone!


Do products being maligned get equal time for supporters? I bought Nads at a local store, so I can't refute difficulies in ordering/receiving/billing for the product when ordered online.

Many complaints talk about the product being painful. Well, yes, pulling hair out by its roots is painful. If you believe an ad that tells you it is not, well, I'll leave it at that. Nads is an alternative to heated wax, which is also painful. But the more it is used, the less painful it becomes.

Many complaints claim that it does not remove much hair. I am a veteran waxer, doing it both at home and in salons. Nads gives wax a real run for its money with its effectiveness for removing hair. It is important to follow the instructions. A thin layer means a thin layer and if hair removal is not accomplished, the user should try a thinner layer. Also, if the cloth strip is stroked more than a couple of times, the gel becomes too warm and runny to effectively remove hair. It doesn't take long to get the nuances right. Just a little trial and error.

There is a complaint about pussy sores that required professional medical intervention. I suppose anyone can be allergic to the Nads ingredients. I have fewer red spots for a shorter time than with a wax depilatory.

Nads is the best thing since sliced bread, and I've saved a lot of money by doing more of my own hair removal at home. Waxing at home is difficult and time consuming, so I usually take the convenient and more expensive way of salon waxing. Nads has simplified the home process so much that I always depilitate at home now.

I hope this great product gets a little good press, because there are a lot of women who will miss out on a wonderful thing if they are led to believe that Nads is a substandard product


I save money and get smoother legs/underarms/bikini line.
