to ask if anyone has bought a NONO hair remover?

Has anyone bought one of these?

I'm always tempted to buy one when the advert comes on for my tache

but they're about £100 and i'm worried that they're naff!

Any reviews?

NoNo! (think of the name) Look at the online reviews before you order one. The ones from people in the US Amazon site are helpful.

Ooh... Watching with interest as I've often wondered if they're any good...

there's a recent thread from a user who has had problems with it breaking down

www.amazon.com/No-Hair-Removal-Unit-Pink/product-reviews/B002LBK5QU

You mean the 358 one star reviews so far?

Have a think. What happens when something burns? What would it leave behind and what would it do to your skin??

Yup, that's the one SilverApples. It's called 'NoNo' for a reason!

I thought about getting one until I looked at the reviews. Not good at all.

I bought one (from Boots not off the telly).

It took about an hour to do my legs, and needed doing about twice a week (the same as shaving).

I kept doing it for about 3 months hoping that I'd be able to do it less often, but then gave up. Worst thing I ever bought!

If you buy one, get it from QVC, as you will be able to send it back for as refund when you realise how awful it is.

I sent mine back after 2 weeks. I wanted it for my upper lip especially. It really burns the sensitive skin there. It made my arms feel very stubbly. You have to go over the same area time and time again.

Thanks ladies will give them a wide berth then!!

you have all saved me too.

Please don't waste your money! Bought one when they first came out & sounded like the best thing ever - they are seriously rubbish!

I have an earlier version of this:
www.amazon.com/SN-008-All-Over-Removal-Handheld-Device/dp/B00859DIFM/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377274697&sr=1-4&keywords=hair+removal+philips

and it actually works quite well, although you are not supposed to use it on your face (nor have I tried it on my face as you never know!). It works best with light skin and dark hairs and if you keep it up over time there is less re-growth (about 2/3rds of the hairs on my legs below the knees are gone and about 1/2 of the hairs in my armpits are gone). However it is too painful to use in the bikini area, at least for me!

Don't forget you get long lasting results with continual use!

Is that after first and second degree burns, Loves?

I had thought of buying one if I had some spare money one month, I won't bother now, they sound dreadful.

The thing I've noticed about those ads on the telly is that although they offer you your money back they charge a ridiculous amount for postage, which is non-refundable

Thank from me, too, I've been wondering what they were like (but am unlikely to ever have a spare £100 for a glorified razor - definitely not for one that doesn't work!)

I have an epilator (one with an ice back that's supposed to cool your skin as you use it in order to make it less painful). It hurts like hell but does the job. You're better off getting one of these. Little tip though; make sure you use it when you've just got out of a hot bath. Your pores are open and it only hurts a tiny bit.
