  I went to see Tangee for a consultation about 3 - maybe 4 years ago when I saw her sign at the spa I was going to for hair cuts and massages. My female "beard and mustache" were really becoming a source of anxiety for me. I had tried waxing but it made my face break out in acne so bad it was worse than the hair. I went for a consult for laser but they were concerned I would have scaring problems with my sensitive skin, plus I had read that it wasn't "really" a permanent solution. I was worried that electrolysis would be more pain than I could bear but my "old lady whiskers" were way more than I could deal with.
  
  Tangee gave me a free consult where she let me experience what it would feel like to get electrolysis. She was honest with me - that it was not a quick fix. In order to eliminate my whiskers every single hair folicle has to be destroyed (that is what electrolysis does). The process is extremely tedious (think how small those needles must be and how many hair folicles we have!). After my consult with her and finding that the pain (pain is not a good word for it, maybe discomfort would be better) was totally not as bad as I expected, I decided to start having regular treatments.
  
  What I REALLY liked about Tangee is she did not play games with me - she started with my "worst whiskers" first, didn't just do sections - but went for the most obnoxious hairs first - within just a few months I was so much more comfortable in my skin! After a couple of years of twice monthly treatments I was really comfortable that I didn't HAVE to go anymore - but I still go once a month because I have a lot of hair on my face, brows etc and I love that once it's gone it is GONE FOREVER!
  
  I have never personally known anyone that had laser hair removal so I don't know if it works - but I feel very blessed that I was told up front that I could end up scarred if I tried it.
  
  In my opinion it takes a very special person to do electrolysis. To me it would be way too much work for the money. Tangee is a gift to all of us that deal with unwanted hair - I spent a lifetime fighting my heritage and unwanted facial hair. Now, as I move past middle age and know my eyesight will fade (especially the close up stuff) it is such a relief to know I will not be one of those unknowingly bearded ladies that children make fun of.
