If you only have a few stray hairs, you should definately try electrolysis! It won't take anytime to zap those few hairs! And electrolysis is the only proven method of permanent hair removal. You should go for it! It will make you feel good!

I just pull them with the tweezers..ouch, every couple of days. How expensive is the electrolysis? If I had my choice I'd rather something be done with my legs. I've been shaving for years now and I get tired of it. The hair on my legs is so dark and stiff. But when winter gets here out come the long pants and sweats.

I'm a bikini-waxer, too. I've always wanted to get my legs done, but it's the waiting for the hair to get long enough that keeps me from trying it.

Girl!!!! I'll be looking in the phone book for a beauty school!!! Might need to have a couple of cocktails before I could get an hour's worth done, though!

Well I know that you cannot get your legs done with electrolysis....there's too much hair. You can only get small areas done. I've gotten my eyebrows and part of my upper lip. I want to get my entire face done & bikini area. My sisters have gotten their toes and fingers done. My mom has gotten EVERYTHING done....eyebrows, entire face, bikini area, toes, fingers, and underarms. She also has permanent eyeliner (the same lady does both). However, I would never get the permanent eyeliner. My mom says it hurts SOOOO bad!

Oh I am just so chicken. I envy you brave souls I don't think I would want the permanent eyeliner either, but not just because of the pain, but I just don't know how good it would look at 60, 70 or 80 years of age, if I live that long.

Actually you can do your legs it just takes a little longer and if you want it done faster have 2 people work on you at the same time. Also my mom does permanent cosmetics to the permanent eye liner and i agree i wouldn't get it done personally but my mom has it done she said it didn't hurt and she loves it i guess it all depends on your pain management the put a topical solution to help numb the area.

Also, the permanent cosmetics fade. So, you don't have to worry about how it's going to look when you're 80.

I had my eyeliner done a few weeks ago. I'm loving it! I should start a new thread on it....
