Sally's may have hard wax. I've never really paid attention. If not, you can most likely find it at an online beauty supply store. Professional supply stores carry it, but require a license or cosmo school ID.

i was scared to do it myself also. but here's what works best for me. definitely use a "hard" wax. get yourself a wax warmer at sally's (the smaller one is fine, they're about $20) and buy some of those wooden popsicle sticks there, then order wax refills from wax-cellence (i get mine from http://www.shavesthere.com/proddispl...request_key=8).
warm up the wax and go at it!
wax-cellence is the same stuff as bliss poetic wax. it's definitely the least painful wax out there, and it can get the tiniest hairs!

There not gonna grow back suddenly dark just cuz yah waxed them. There going to have the same pigment as the hair currently growing there. And over time the hair should grow back thinner. Think how your eyebrows can grow back sparcer if you overpluck... same deal as waxing.
And even blonde hair is noticeable. Whenever I speak with someone I always notice their facial hair, especially when they talk, since i tend to focus on people's mouths when they speak.

Well, I wax my upper lip (sorry! I like being anatomically incorrect) and bleach other facial hair. Skin's super pale and I just think having any kind of slightly darker fuzz leaves a shadow.
Bleaching is REALLY easy and I don't think it has as funky a smell as depilatory.

I have very pale skin and slight dark hair on my upper lip. I have waxed before, yet it seems like the skin where I waxed is a permanent different shade than it was previousely. It never went away and I don't know what it is! Do any of you know what this could be? thanks!!

You rock Deirdre!!!
My stash has been a bone of contention for me for a long time. Ladies this is going to sound completely insane but in my culture there's a saying that the most beautiful ladies have a mustache. That is not to say that one should KEEP it but that's the saying or the myth. So in some way for those of us that do, we aren't so hideous afterall
Anyway, I've finally come around to getting rid of it. Although right now I've been plucking away slowly - it friggin hurts btw. I'm thinking of getting it threaded instead of plucking or waxing. I have sensitive skin which is why I think if I wax my upper lip will probably get all red and bloody. What are your thoughts on threading? Any experience on that? Thx

I hate when I see that, too...The only thing is, Doctors tell ya not to fool around with moles like that...'Cause a mole can 'change' and turn malignant
I guess I'll have to find out the truth about that....It would seem you're damned if ya do, and damned if ya don't....I know *I* wouldn't want a huge, hairy mole sticking out of my face...I know people who have them, and they take away from any kind of beauty (IMO)...Ya know; you're standing there talking to someone, and ALL you keep looking at is the mole...(SNL, or one of those parody shows had a skit like that, where one of the characters had a huge, hairy mole on their face, and the person speaking with them said something like "Yeah, I mole what ya mean"...It was funny 'cause it was SOO true!!!)
I could imagine plucking hairs out of a mole would be indescribable pain...Good thing I don't have one...I don't have really any discernible facial hair...Thankfully.
