I *think* mine is GIGI but it is a pro model. It was like a $200.00 system. It is hot honey wax. I have used cane sugar for sensitive people but not tea tree.

I had electrolysis on my back hair, expensive, painful, and time consuming, but I toughed it out and now my back hair is history.

Also did the back of my neck, good riddance to those hackles...

To the best of my knowledge, only electrolysis will permanently remove hair...

I have done it a few times...I actually like like the "pain" during..but the pain after is annoying...you literally cant touch it to anything for almost a day without getting some dirt in your pours and having one heck of a soar back...But once you get that under control...your good to go...I am thinking of doing the laser thingy if waxing doesnt halt the growth soon.

Wow! I know that I hate the hair on my back. I let my wife wax it off once. Since then I have been shaving with an electric shaver. I would love to have it permanently removed. I wonder if going to a salon would be better?! I have more than my back that I want done, I also want my chest and stomach done...

Advice folks cost and everything if you know it.

I would do your back and see how your growback reacts before going all over everywhere. He does the buzz too. Kudos to you mr matt for being a groomer. Its a total plus.

Any men try that NO!NO! device yet?

(or women for that matter)

What is the No,No device?

Thank you for the Kudos...grooming is one of the time consuming things that I don't mind investing into. I really like the results.

I dont laugh at anyone who waxes....anywhere. In fact, it makes me cringe to see someone that brave. But there are other hair remover products, like cremes, for that problem (hairy backs).

Geeze...I remember a time when the hair on a man's body was considered hot and manly. I wasn't even fond of back hair then.....but I did like chest hair.

From the guy prospective, I thought the same thing. The macho, manly...In seeing other men in public setting, the beach, parks ect, I noticed how un-appealing that body hair was. Then one day I started defirring myself and decided I didn't want the hair anymore...I haven't changed who I am, just how I look. My wife is very supportive...

I haven't tried the no,no device...after reading about it, I would have a difficult time getting 250.00 dollars from my wife in order to get one.
