Nope, and it does not work well. Np

I seriously don't understand this question or the weird responses.

Longterm- electrolysis
weekly/biweekly- threading places or waxing places
daily- shaving with one of those tinkle razors.

Why do you all not think people shave?? A LOT of women shave their faces to get rid of peach fuzz, not just the black hairs. It makes makeup lay better on your face and everything is smoother.

She should absolutely get electrolysis. It's not that expensive either for just a beard.

I'm 67 with the dreaded facial hair. Fortunately, most of it is blond, but it's a lot. I've used and hated Nair (works well, lasts longer than shaving), but I have the smell, time, and it's tough on my skin. I used a Tinkle razor and now a Schick facial razor, which works for me. Takes 3 minutes about once a week. Trim my eyebrows occasionally with scissors. Tweeze some of the stiffer hairs using a magnifying mirror.

If you want it done by someone else, pick your method: threading, waxing, sugaring, electrolysis, or laser removal and then find a provider. You might want to start with a dermatologist (along with a skin cancer check).

The woman who tints my brows and lashes does so during very short appointments (15 minute slots) and rents a space in the back of a larger salon. I would contact eyebrow/waxing specialists who rent a space or chair at a small, local salon about setting up a standing weekly appointment.

How does it not work well? I shave my face 3 times a week and I have a lot more than a few stray hairs.

I have random black hairs, am in my 50s, and use the facial hair trimmers. Gets rid of the peach fuzz I had had on my face since my 20s and some random black hairs that pop up.

If she has a nice hair stylist, that person could check her out and pluck the hairs for an extra tip, but a lot of salons will try to monetize her (sounds like that already happened.)

Try the facial trimmer.

Any local nail salon would do this. Waxing would be quick and lasts for a bit. Also cheap.

OP here- thanks for the suggestions. I had bought her one of those little electric trimmers and that led to part of an eyebrow getting shaved off. And it seems like eyebrows don’t review very fast. She is resistant to the Tinkle razor, I had left her a pack. I think the idea of shaving is a bridge too far right now. The hairs are coarse and white, so I really don’t think electrolysis sis likely to be too successful.

I will call her hairdresser and see if she knows someone who does short appointments for threading or if she would be willing to help as an additional service. She figured out how to turn lavender chemo hair into a more fun purple shade. So she is definitely a problem solver.

I don’t have any suggestions but I love that you’re doing this for her and I hope my daughters do the same when I’m older!

It doesn’t matter what color the hairs are for electrolysis. It would be a great permanent option for your mother.

To say that someone doesn’t know this is an option is stupid.
It’s a terrible option which is why it’s not being done.

With all due respect you are an idiot.

Shaving is an excellent way to remove unwanted facial hair and exfoliate your skin.

I would be wary of doing this with fragile older skin that can tear easily.

I'm old enough to get those terrible chin hairs. A depilator works great. It'll hurt when you first use it, but you get used to it. A depilator works by yanking out the hairs by the root. I use it about once a month. I'm not sure I'd want to use it on the lip area, though.

OP reporting back.

My mom’s hairdresser is 58, and she has been doing her hair for 20 years. When I called we ended up chatting about how we are both starting to find random chin hairs too. So I offered to send one of those magnifying mirrors with the really bright lights to the salon. So she could use it and help my mom look when she’s there.

The mirror sits in the little bathroom they have. This past week my mom went in and while she was waiting for her hair color to process (she is now platinum blond with mermaid colors underneath) she brought the mirror out into the main salon area. This became a social event with all of the stylists/ customers gathered around. My mom said it was really funny how many people whipped tweezers out of their purses since they say that can only see those hairs when they are in their cars. One lady said she misses the hotel magnifying mirrors from back when she travelled, but didn’t want to put one in her bathroom for fear she would overpluck.

This salon is tiny and definitely skews older. I can just imagine the scene. Anyway, they all walked away with fewer random hairs and felt less alone about having them. I am going to count this as a win.

I am a 51 year old woman and I literally had no idea that other women shave peach fuzz off their faces. What on earth?!?!
