Burning hair remover lets your hygiene play with fire
So you've got some hair you'd like to get rid of. Understandable! Nobody likes a unibrow, after all, so you might as well take matters into your own hands if you got a bad roll of the dice in the genetic casino. But would you want to take care of this delicate business with something called the No! No! Hair Remover? A gadget that sizzles the hair away?
Call me squeamish, but the idea of putting something really hot up against your skin to burn hair away doesn't sound like something I'm interested in. I'm just not sure I trust that it heats up to a temperature hot enough to burn hair that won't, you know, burn skin. I'll stick to shaving, thanks.

I've been curious about this since I saw it at Sephora awhile ago but the reviews on their webpage have been average (3 out of 5 stars). It's supposed to take around a month for results to really show and there are a few satisfied customers, but only a few. It sounds like it works best on finer hair (i.e. arm hair) but yes, there's the burnt hair smell. At $250, it doesn't sound worth it. I can wait for better technology.

Something about the title No! No! just makes me want to stay away.
