Dear Miss Blondie,
Have you ever heard of “threading?” Do you think it’s better than waxing? I have heard it’s very nice but extremely painful.
-Smooth Operator

Here is the good news, I have tried threading. The bad news is the excruciating pain factor. I have tried it twice and have never gone back. Perhaps, if threading delivered a more permanent result, I would have subjected myself to the pain. But, Threading was more painful for me than child labor despite a high tolerance for pain (5 root canals and still counting). Luckily for me, like most hair removal techniques, Threading is temporary and I will never do it again!
However, I am all about being a “smooth operator” myself and have tried every hair removal procedure from the ancient days to what occupies today’s shelves and beauty shops. In terms of removing facial hair, I still swear by Dermaplane. It is pain free, quick, and diminishes hair growth as time goes on. Your face is left feeling as soft as a baby’s behind and putting on make-up is a whole new experience! I love my eyebrows to be in tip top shape at all times. For me, an eyebrow arch is crucial and I absolutely feel that waxing by a skilled person who can complement one’s facial structure is the way to go. Body hair is a bit more challenging, especially for someone like me who despises any hair period! If your body responds to laser hair removal, (you lucky duck) then make the investment. And yes, I do know the perfect place! Waxing can be tolerable for some people. And finally, for people like me whose hair is too light for laser and whose skin is too sensitive for waxing, trying new razors is my only option. Come on Gillette!
Needless to say, I have assembled a great team of people who help me in my personal battle for hair removal. Suggestions, anyone? Driving to Woodland Hills twice a month from Sunset and the 405 for eyebrows is a MUST!
