For several years, I have been answering email from my hairfacts.com site. Many of you asked why I didn't have a forum. I've finally decided to add one in order to have a discussion about hair removal that raises the bar from the quackery prevalent on many other boards.

This site will take a while to get up to the level of information available on hairfacts, but I hope you'll help by contributing and sharing your questions and experiences!

Hi, This is great. Just a quick question - how does one get a password for a private forum?

Hi Del--

Thanks for registering! To join the members-only forum, please send an email stating you are over 18 to: adult@hairtell.com

The forum is just getting underway, but I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Andrea

Your site was extremely helpful as I was just about to purchase online the Emjoi Permanent Removal Tweezers. Having the Emjoi Gently and being rather satisfied with that product I thought I could trust other products made by Emjoi. Obviously, after reading the facts on your web site this is not the case. Anyway... I would be happy using any kind of semi-permanent hair removal if there was at all SOME WAY to PREVENT ingrown hairs! Ingrown hairs will be the ruin of me. Please... if anyone knows how to control, treat or prevent ingrown hairs the information would be most appreciated.

Hi Rina--

Glad I could help!

It's a shame that Emjoi has extended their otherwise excellent product line with this tired old scam device. Many people like their rotary epilators, but all consumers should avoid their electric tweezer products. Electric tweezers have no proof they can achieve permanent hair removal.

Hi Andrea,

Great site, you're really filling a void out there that needed to be filled.

I think it would be a good idea to make the link to these forums more noticable. It's pretty hard to find from the front page. (I'm talking about from the hairfacts.com front page).

Depending on the type of traffic you want here, my opinion it's usually best to make the link to the forums the most noticable link off the front page.

That's just my opinion and experience!

A great forum can really drive a site.

Or was the unassuming nature of the link intentional? (To keep the two sites separate).

I'm still tweaking the forums here and gearing up for making it more prominent. As soon as I have a sense of how much time I'll need to devote to this, I'll be featuring it much more prominently on hairfacts.

I'm already impressed by the great posters here, so I think this is going to be a very high-quality addition to this whole consumer project! I'm excited!

Congratulations with the forum, Andrea. It's very helpful, thorough and critical. If only you were a manufacturer of hair removal products ... .

Great site, Andrea! I only had one problem with it: when I clicked on the link for 'sugaring' it took me to the 'waxing' info page. Thought you should know.

Hey Andrea!

Fantastic site!! I love it!
I wanted to ask you if you could possibly tell me what is the best hair removal technique to use?

I'm studying beauty therapy at college an am opening a salon next year. I'm very interested in hair removal an i would value your opinions.
Cheers
Jass!!
