Hairy toes dilemma! Please help!

I have such hairy toes, madd worse by shaving when I was a teen. I am too self conscious to wear sandals and nail polish. The only thing to do is pluck them, but I am too fat and shortsighted...! I cant afford laser. Can anyone give me any tips...

That little Flawless Finish gadget is good.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/09/2022 17:31

Flawless Touch? Can't remember the name.

Wax or hair remover cream would do
it.

Hair removal cream?
Wax strips?

Do you not wear glasses? only asking because I am short sighted but can see my toes with glasses on so I’m thinking you should be able to really.

I do mine with my epilator.
yeah it’s a bit ouchy for five mins it then it’s done.

My beautician waxes them and wry so often when she dies a pedicure. An you ask yours to do this or perhaps buy wax strips? It's a bit ouchy but only for a second or two.

Thank you everyone, I epilate my legs but I have very short black hairs on my toes that only a tweezer can touch....
@StrikeandRobin I do wear glasses but when it comes to up and close things, I see better without them.

I was wondering if a liquid exfoliant would help with the black dots of hair??

FYI: A majority of women as well as most men have hairy toes, although most won't admit it. We are animals after all.

See if there's any beauty clinics that do training in your erea. They often require practice models for their students at vastly reduced prices. I had my underarms lasered like this.
6 session for £128 Well worth it.
Phone around and ask all the clinics locally or send them an email. If you check on Google, you can find clinics that train beauty therapists.

Makes a change from all the hairy hands we usually see around these parts!! Wink

I’ve got some hairs on my big toes. I just shave them (when I can be bothered - summer time only tbh) but I appreciate that may not work for you.

You could try wax strips? Or the hair removal cream. In your shoes (har har) I wouldn’t be tweezing them as I’m far too lazy. Plus you’ve said you can’t see well enough.

Flawless finish gadget sounds good.

The most important thing, truly, and I know it’s easily said but I’m still going to say it, is try not to feel too self-conscious about it. We all tend to see the things we don’t like about ourselves as huge, glaring imperfections. They’re really not that big a deal. Flowers
