My Best Decision for Summer

I practically live in a bathing suit this time of year, if it's the weekend you can find me by the pool or on the beach. But being in a bathing suit means I need to keep myself hairless, and shaving = unsitely razor burn...ugh. I was over it. Over shaving every day, over the razor burn, just done! After speaking with some of my friends who had laser hair removal in certain areas, I decided it was time to eliminate said hair once and for all.




I found a groupon for a med spa in the area and paid significantly less than a normal package of 6 treatments, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My biggest advice is if you're looking to get any type of laser hair removal treatment done, look for a groupon/living social deal. I see so many of them each month, and you should never pay full price!




I had 6 treatments that were spaced 6 weeks apart, so I started last fall and had my last treatment in the spring just in time for bathing suit season. I know the first question everyone will ask is did it hurt, and my answer is yes... but just a little. It's honestly not that bad, it's like a little zap on each hair follicle. Most of them you don't feel much, but every once in a while it hurt a little more. Was it worth it? Oh yes! I love not worrying about shaving *down there* anymore and I no longer deal with razor burn.

Have you gotten any laser hair removal? If so, how did you like the outcome?

  1. I'm always a little scared when "removal" is in the title of anything, but glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience!!

  2. So I got it, but the business I did it with was just terrible. 6 treatments wasn't enough, so they wanted to charge me full price to do a whole new session. I did a couple of more and then decided it just wasn't working. They went out of business shortly after... I wish I had gone to someone more reputable! So glad it worked for you though! I may revisit it again down the line :)

  5. I've thought about getting laser hair removal so many times, I just haven't done it. My friend did it and she said it was painful at the time but now its 3 years later and she said she's never regretted it so that's good!

  10. Glad it went well. I am always nervous about anything being removed permanently. Styles change through the years, though not shaving is awesome.

  11. I've never gotten this done, but I can imagine how nice it must be once it's all done. Shaving is like a chore.

  12. I did 6 treatments and definitely need 2 or 3 more for it to be fully gone but it was worth the (groupon) price.

  16. I got this done in NYC through Lifebooker. I had the brazilian done and let me just say - IT HURT LIKE A MOTHER_EFFER and I have given birth! Hahahaha! It was quick - the whole area was like 15 minutes per visit but during those visits I felt like Steve Carrell in the 40 year old virgin! KELLY CLARKSON! Hahaha! Don't get me wrong - it was worth it. I am not totally hairless but a few more sessions and I should be good to go. I also want to do my underarms after Summer is over. The things we women do for beauty. Geez. Hahaha!
