Electrolysis

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

Oh I didn't know that. When I hear permanent, I think permanent..LOL

Don't think I would like seeing it on a 80 or 90 year old. My mother wears too much make-up for her age (83) and I've tried to help her, but to no avail. If it doesn't embarrass her, then it shouldn't embarrass me, I guess.

does the electrolysis only work on dark hair? i hate shaving my legs and bikini area all the time but i have blonde hair on my legs and it's really fine but the other area- well i'm a redhead so that ought to tell you...i don't know if i could lay there with my patootie hanging out for them to put a needle into each pore...is there another way to do it???

Actually electrolysis works best on blonde hair. It works on both, but sometimes with the darker hairs you will have some regrowth. My eyebrows grew back one or two times, but after the 2nd time stopped growing back. The hair on my upper lip is blonde, and it never grew back. AND, when you get your bikini line done, you wear your underwear. They just do the sides and will go in as far as you would like then to, but they don't do it until it's bald. If it is the least bit uncomfortable, you can get this inexpensive cream at the drugstore (forgot the name of it, but your electrolysis can tell you) that you put on the area that you are having worked on, and it numbs it. I did this for my upperlip and I didn't feel a thing.

your hair goes through 7 stages of growth so you usually have to get it done a few times to completely stop the growth but it is effective on all types of hair but it does take longer on thicker coarse hair

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