1. Waxing is contraindicated to some medicines or medical conditions as adverse effects like rashes may arise. On the other hand tweezing can be done by anyone without the fear of having side effects.
2. Waxing takes off hair quickly while with tweezing, it can take hours to finish as hairs have to be removed one by one.
3. You can accidentally spread wax and remove hairs that should not be removed with waxing. While with tweezing, you are in control of which hairs you want to stay and which should have to go.
