Hair Removal - What do you do?

[RhiChiChi]

I am having IPL (laser) on my underarms atm - I would need to wax them every 4-6 weeks (I am dark and coarse) and bit the bullet & started getting IPL. I am onto my fourth session ($100 per session) & I think I would only need one more & then I am hair free under there. The good thing is that I can shave inbetween IPL sessions with no adverse affect to the IPL. I go every 7 weeks (sometimes longer) for the IPL.

I wax everywhere else, which includes - XX bikini, full leg, lip, eyebrow & half arm. I have to wax my bikini every 4 weeks, bottom half of leg & half arm 6-8 weeks, top half leg up 8-12 weeks (grows slower than the bottom). Lip & eyebrow I try to maintain as much as I can then I get it done the next time I am at the beauticians. Sometimes I wax my bottom half leg & half arm but I can't do my bikini or top legs myself - too hard.

Shave under my arms as the cream gave me a *****ly feeling. I had them waxed a couple of times and it was great, only thinng is, in summer you need a bit of re-growth for it to work.

Get my bikini line waxed as I like an extended which leaves only the landing strip, needs to be kept up every 5weeks. I tried waxing myself, hurt like hell, even tried having couple of a wines, still hurt like mad I also tried the cream and didn't like the feeling of having a chemical that close to my 'bits' and I certainly wouldn't be using the cream where they wax!!

Legs I use the cream, easy as and usually lasts a good while and I don't get that *****ly feeling like with shaving. Can't justify waxing legs as you have to leave re-growth too long which doesn't work for me in Summer and no point in winter as my legs are hardly ever seen.

Eyebrows, I get waxed at the same time I have my bikini line done, usually have and eyelash tint too.

I considered IPL and I was told it would not work on my as I am pale, freckly and have red hair.

If you want to get wax, alot of salons have 'package deals' for getting a few things done together.
