Is laser hair removal a good value?

OK, so they're running a special where you can get your underarms done for $395 no matter how many visits it takes. I hate shaving, razors are expensive. Is it worth it? Or am I just trying to rationalize? I've been wanting to do this forever, and yes, I can afford to do it. I will still have my goal of being CC free accomplished by Sept if I do this. What do you think?

if YOU really want it, i would say go for it.
for me, it wouldnt be the best move. but then again, i dont really mind shaving and i get all my razors for free at cvs. plus, i think id just be too afraid of the actual procedure.

if youre on target for the rest of your financial goals, and YOU want it, i dont see why not. we work so hard saving and making do without, we need to treat ourselves every once in a while.

That's a good price for that! I'd say go for it!

I'm sorry to say this, but I've heard many times, it is NOT permanent and the hair does grow back eventually. Something to think about before your spend the $.

Laser hair removal is a good temporary way to remove hair. My friend had this done to his face- he used to be military and got tired of shaving everyday. He even had the "ideal" dark hair/olive skin combo for the procedure. After about 6-8 months, his facial hair started growing back in patches.
