Wow thanks all for the responses!
Yes, it does hurt especially the first couple times and certain spots hurt more than others (to those that asked). And yes, I do it myself but only the bikini line. The full thing gets done by a pro... something about keeping the skin taught just doesnt work when you are working at that angle.... trying to keep it PG lol.
I wish I could afford laser cuz I used to shave every other day and I am getting sick of it which is why I decided to wax myself. Though I have heard that the laser treatment can be painful as well....especially when its closer to the "inside" area (hope that made sense).0 -
I shave, maybe once a week. I don't think I could ever wax there. I'm bad enough trying to get ny eyebrows waxed!0
-
I do a full Brazilian wax every 3 weeks. it hurts pretty bad, but its over quickly and it does get SLIGHTLY less painful once the hair starts thinning out.0
-
Uggggh I hate waxing. Goin' in for laser hair removal soon! YAY for no hair!
I want to get this done too! My spa is running a special for 6 brazillian treatments for $1500 and you get 6 underarm treatments free.
$1500 for 6 brazilian waxes?!?! I only pay $40 for one!0 -
Are there any other guys reading along and getting mental images of these hot (and bare) ladies?0

I've never waxed how much does 1 cost. Also how long does the hair have to be, I shave so obviously I would have to have more hair. Shaving irritates my skin so I keep thinking about waxing. 1 every 5 weeks is less frequent than I thought you had to go.0

I pay $40 for a wax, but there are some spas that do it for $120, so it just depends on where you go. I always got in-grown hairs and major irritation shaving, so I switched to waxing. It depends on the person how often you have to go. For the first wax the hair needs to be 3/4 to 1 inch long but it only needs to be 1/2 inch or so long for the next wax. I don't shave at all between waxes so I go every 3 weeks and the hair grows to the perfect length in that amount of time.0 -

For those of you thinking about laser treatment, it is NOT a permenant solution, it does not get rid of hair for ever. It is to reduce the growth ( and even then it can takes months and months depending on the hair growth cycle/phase it's in), it does not get rid of hair full stop. Remember this when looking at the costs!!0

As far as laser hurting...top notch reputable spas will have the latest technology in laser hair removal and it's completely painless. The only thing you feel is the moving of the wand an a warmth but no pain.0 -

I pay $45 for a wax. The prices for laser hair removal depend largely on the type of laser technology the spa you go to is using. If the spa isn't using the latest technology of laser then the the prices will be cheaper...it will also be more painful. The newest laser hair technology produce zero pain and no irritation.0 -

I've been lasering for about a year. Get on Groupon--I've bought three packages through them, each around $150/6 sessions. That's a $1200 value. It's absolutely worth it!0

I disagree with your findings. It does indeed lead to about 80% permanent removal in 4-6 sessions.
And I've seen my girlfriend's lasered Beav and it's a thing of beauty. Just sayin.0 -
