    Thanks ladies for your advice!

    I bought myself a braun silk epil on the weekend (I am a sucker, both the emjoi and the braun were similar in price so i took the one that came with the free facial )

    So far so good, it was not too painful, no ingrown hairs yet!

    I realise you've bought one but I'll still put my 2c in for others!!

    The only downer is the time it takes to do your legs...and it's not like you can read a book while you do it either.

    Was going to ask if you were near a Tafe, I'm near Box Hill Tafe and their beauty students do ridiculously cheap waxes ($4 lip, $9 half leg, $15 full leg) as well as other beauty services. I gave up waxing due to my old salon's prices, but now go to the tafe instead. And the service is fantastic as they're supervised and eager to please, opposed to some qualified beauty therapists who have been doing it for years.

    oooh I never thought of this option!!

    I actualy enjoy getting waxes done, just cos I feel all pretty again, lol. I have dark thick hair and shaving is just really a waste of time

    Might consider this though! I can never justify the cost of waxing.....

    Did I mention that a 60min massage is only twenty five dollars?!!!!

    Sorry to hijack the thread!

    I *do* still use an epilady when I can't get out. Lol, I found one in an opp shop and the old ladies were like 'ooh is this a baby monitor' and I was like 'er, no. It pulls the hair out of your legs'. Hehe.
