After that I decided not to do it again...But I did do it again, after a year maybe...and I've stuck to it. My waxer showed me how to wax myself and I'm pretty good at it now. I expected it to hurt a lot since I'm not a professional waxer..but if you do it at the right time (don't wait too long) and the right way it actually hurts less! I wouldn't recommend using the bikini wax, use the honey wax since it doesn't dry up too fast!

It's my go-to for hair removal, and I highly recommend it over shaving. I can’t believe you didn’t mention epilating. It’s my go-to for hair removal, and I highly recommend it over shaving.

Pain levels vary depending on the amount/thickness/color of an individual's hair, (mine was thick and black), though. One of the technicians who has been through the process before said that for her, childbirth was less painful than having laser hair removal. Still, for me, anyway, it was definitely worth the pain and the price! I’ve had full Brazilian laser hair removal and it was literally the most pain I’ve experienced in my entire life.

There's a woman who I go to for sugaring like a 15-20 min drive from school. Unfortunately I am home for the summer and cannot find a sugarist out here. Sugaring is actually cheaper and more hygienic than waxing, and hurts a whole lot less too. Only downside is that not many people are certified to do sugaring, so it is hard to find one! I really wish they had sugarists at all spas. In response to Molly’s comment:

Take my advice. This winter get laser done. Its the best. Shop around. You can find a place that doesnt cost 400 a session. Mine turned out to be 180 a session and I needed 5 plus the 6 came free. then the maintenence is $100.My gyno's office does it. When you add up the cost of waxing and pain for the next 30 years (at least) the $1000 is a bargin. You’re right about the sun and laser, thats why it should have been done in the winter.

It's said to be less painful than waxing because it only sticks to the hair. I've only tried it once (because I have no boyfriend, hate swimsuit season, and don't usually have any money) and didn't think it was that bad. Once she was done with the process, I was fine. No lasting pain or irritation. I'd definitely sign up for it opposed to waxing any day.
