I can't count how many hairs i've zapped myself.
there are so many hairs on a human body way way more than anyone thinks.
i don't know how long and how much money it would cost for that one elecrolysist that posts on this board alot.
but i've cleared both of my arms from the sholder down to the fingers. at a cost of around 200$. I've zapped some stray eyebrow hairs professionally for 22$. and I relive, that there's noway i could have both of my arms done professionly for less than 2000$.
save money u ask? do it yourself

Tiny used a home electroloysis kit. You can read all about it in the do-it-yourself electrolysis section under hair removal methods.

i'm looking into getting rid of my unwanted hair myself and through my research i've read some good stuff about a product called Finally Free, but it's hard to know what to trust becasue i couldn't find any information on it that wasn't put out by the company itself. has anyone here actually used it or know anything about it?

We have lots of information about them. Most of it bad. http://www.hairfacts.com/makers/etweezer/mehlgrp.htmlhttp://www.hairfacts.com/scams.htmlYou should stick with the ligitimate machines used by professionals. If you really are going to do this, go to the DIY section and look at the 5 star post string, Ligitimage Machines on Ebay. Go to the very end, and go backwards from there. You will see what is available now, and you will get an idea of what has been up in the past and what it sold for.

I have been having this problem for almost 20 years.. I have small fine hairs growing from my nose.... not from the inside but all around my nose. It looks like my nose has dirt all around it. I have tried creams, tried shaving (only once) tried pulling them out. squeezing, cleaning strips. they are still there.. anyone have any ideas???
Or what it is... how to get rid of it....

Are you out in the sun a lot? This is a problem we see with those that tan too much or have occupations that that require them to be outside a lot. Any irritation to the skin can potentially cause hair to grow.
For such a small area, electrolysis would be the ticket to permanently remove that hair. It shouldn't cost too much or take a lot of time.
