    Was thinking about getting one but $270.00 is a lot of money. I can buy a wax machine for that or less.

    I seriously considered buying it, when we got a good tax refund this year, because it is so expensive. I have alot of chin and neck hairs and could tweeze everyday if I didn't actually have a life. When I checked the reviews, they were horrible. So I decided I would not take the chance. I mentioned my hair issue to my gyn at my last checkup and she recommended laser hair removal, which isn't cheap either, but at least it works and I believe is permanent. Just keep in mind that laser hair removal only works on dark hairs - not blond ones.

    I have one of those "NONO's" and it is a nono. I also have the tree trunks and they make me crazy as soon as I feel the least little bit. My granddaughter told me one day that Instead of saying I need to tweeze my chin whiskers...I say I need to take care of some misplaced eyelashes. The laser does not work on misplaced eyelashes.. only the black ones.

    Ask your doc about a new prescription cream that helps with hair growth. I saw it advertised on tv.

    My question - Do any of you have experience with this NO-NO thing they advertise on TV for hair removal?
    I purchased one and it was a huge mistake. It takes about 45 minutes just to do your legs and they suggest you do this 3 times a week ! I still was never able to remove all the hair even after all the time I invested. Worse, it left huge painful burns on sensitive areas like the face. The company is not great to deal with either if you are not satisfied. I have been over a month trying to do a warranty return so my recommendation is - Definitely NONO !

    Seems like after 40, a pair of tweezers is a girls best friend! I keep them in my purse for when the sun shines into the car and I see a few strays in the mirror... Maybe someday it will become fashionable to have a mustache but unfortunately, that day hasn't come yet...

    Glad to know. Just last night, visiting 4 year old grandson was rubbing his hand on my chin and asked why I had "grass" there! A few years ago his sister asked why my neck was "crumpled". I don't think there are enough gadgets to fix me, but they love me anyway and I will continue with the tweezer and the 10X lighted magnifiying mirror.

    Laser is the way to go ~ The lady I went to did sessions for 1/2, 3/4, 1 hour long. Reasonalble priced too ! That was at least 8 years ago and I only have a couple now that just show up occasionally ! Great way to go ! You will love not having to look in the mirror and pluck !
