HAIR ON MY NECK (I'm a girl).. :( :( :(

Ive always had lots of hair on my nack and a few months ago my local beauticians started this thing called IPL which is "just like laser". I went along with it, each treatment costing me £70. She said upto 6 treatments would be good but Ive had 8 treatments now and the hair greows back the same

I couldnt afford it anymore so she suggested i just wax the hair. I agreed to have it waxed and now the hairs come out like a beard. It looks like my ex's newly grown beard!!!

I dont know what to do. Im so upset and embaressd. I havent even gone out of the house for a week now.



Anyone of similar experience? What did you do?

Oooooh unfortunately I laughed, sorry.

But erm... complain at your beauty salon? You should at least get something free.

oh don't worry about it
i'm one of the hariest and palest people i know you just have to forget about it,
i get my neck waxed
apparently if you do it for long enough it makes the hairs thinner so maybe just keep on with it and see what happens,
or email embarassing illnesses/bodies/whatever it is

Your'e very nice aren't you. Thanks

do you take birth control?

Sorry.

But it's just funny that you spent so much money and clearly just got ripped off. Ask to speak to the manager and then report them to the health and beauty association body. At the end of the day, if it was a car that you bought that didn't work, then you'd blatantly sue. So what's the difference. With the amount of money you've spent, you could have bought a banger.

do you take birth control?

£560!! You could have bought a new neck for that.

I went on that about 2 months just before my treatments. It made me FAT and my boobs went up like 3 sizes!!!

WHilst the treatment.. i was told not to take any bitch controls so I stoped. Im thinking of going back to my GP. Maybe try that again. Exept i just dont want to put tonnes of weight on again

Laser does NOT WORK on hair unless it's really dark and thick, so the woman at the beauty salon is either really unproffessional or was ripping you off, knowing it'll only make it worse (because usually u need to shave an area to do laser on it).

I have the same problem - have a lot of long light hairs on my neck and chin, and the best thing to do is find a good and proffessional person at electrolysis.
Electrolysis is the ONLY way to remove hair that isn't very dark and thick permanently - and even if your hair is thicker now laser still wouldn't work on it cos it was originally a lot lighter and less thick.

Find a good person to do electrolysis though - someone bad can leave your face scarred/holey etc., so check for references and see how experienced they are.

Whatever you do, don't shave it as that only makes it worse (and it'd take longer for the electrolysis to remove it all because of how thick it'll get.

Good luck!

I was wondering because birth control pills can be the reason behind hair/beard growth...
