Wax hurts and is annoying, I won't lie to you. I recommend blowing about 30 bucks and getting it professionally done. The professionals have done it before and it's better than doing it yourself. I bought a wax kit for myself and it was horrible. The wax was the stickiest stuff ever and got all over everything, and I still did not manage to get most of the hair out.
The good thing is, waxing only stings for a few seconds and then is gone. It shouldn't leave any red, but if it does you can put aloe vera or something soothing on it. And then the wax is gone for 3-6 weeks! If it is your first time waxing, it usually lasts up to 8 weeks!
Nair is really bad stuff. Unless your skin is really tough, you are probably going to have an allergic reaction to it. It has something called urea and a bunch of other chemicals with a high pH that dissolves the hair to the root. My skin is somewhat sensitive, and I tried it out once. It removed the hair, but it left a red, burning rash behind. Ow!

Nair sometimes burns a little, but waxing rips the hair out, so either way, it's not that pleasant. Some people don't have a problem with nair. You could try the new kind that is more gentle then the others and see if it works. You can find it by the ladies shave gel in the store.

Wax... no pain no gain...
Nair is less painful though... but I'm evil and think everyone should experience waxing once in their lives!
If you nair it off I suggest trimming the hair first if it's fairly long.
But why do you want to get rid of your hair anyway?? You're a guy yeah? Hairyness is sexy on a guy!

neither nair intends to break you out and wax hurts way to much

i'd say wax...because it is less dangerous. OK it hurts, but I am suspicious of creams that just let hair go...it can have side effects and you never now which are the long term side effects...
