Introducing- ChinHairBnB.

You’re walking along, minding your own business, when your hand brushes your chin and you discover a wiry little bastard of a hair that’s apparently grown within seconds because it definitely wasn’t there when you looked in the mirror this morning.

Enter ChinHairBnB: the world’s first emergency chin-hair removal network.

Our hosts display the logo outside their home. A passing peri- or menopausal woman in follicular crisis can knock, hand over a small fee, and be granted access to a sterilised pair of tweezers. Job done. Dignity restored.

Look, I’m not saying this will be the biggest business in the world, but it’ll surely make top ten, right?

(Logo will take a while to appear- worth it though cos it’s amazing).

Genius.

Childanddogmama · 27/09/2025 21:06

😂 brilliant idea!! I think cars need to start coming with built in tweezers- I always feel a new one when I'm sat in traffic!

feathermucker · 27/09/2025 21:07

Brody77 · 27/09/2025 21:08

Haha I was actually thinking I need to keep some in the car today when I realised I had one that I am sure wasn’t there when I left the house 🤣

🤣🤣🤣. I stopped women at a motorway services (en route to a week in Devon), begging for a pair of tweezers as there were none on sale in any of the shops In the end my husband yanked it out. It definitely wasn’t there two hours before 😡🤣😉😂

They just come from nowhere!!

My 80 year old Mum will be your best client. She is obsessive! I have escaped the downiness on the chin, but would you extend your services to those of us with hairy nasal cavities?
I swear I go out in the morning fuzz free, come back to a profusion of black hairs (I am a redhead/blonde, nowhere on my body do such black hairs exist!)

ComfortablySeated · 27/09/2025 21:27

Like all successful entrepreneurs, I have a heartfelt and compelling story that will make you all want to give me your money.

I am currently two nights into a three-night European city break in a beautiful, but eye-wateringly expensive, destination. I promise that my chin was hair-free when I stepped on the plane. However, some time between this morning and this afternoon, out a little fucker sprouted. I’ve had extensive IPL hair removal and, while it’s been mostly successful, my colouring and PCOS means I still get an occasional fast-growth chin-hair gremlin.

Not one to let a little hair ruin my weekend, I popped into a chemist to buy a tweezers. The cheapest they had was €19.99 😬

I’m not an overly parsimonious person, but spending €20 to use something once and then flying it home to add to a drawer with the three other tweezers I already own just felt like a huge waste.

Instead, I spent a good part of the afternoon trying to pluck the hair using my nails. No luck. When I got back to my hotel, I tried the “hack” (hate that word!) I saw some 22 year old on TikTok demonstrate using the lid of a cosmetics bottle- that didn’t work either. Now I have a chin hair, AND a little red mark around it from all the pinching and poking.

The conception of my business is surely borne of trauma, necessity, and vanity.

I love the idea what one person has voted IABU. I’m just picturing her sitting there like “No, Janet, I will not be investing in your rent-a-tweezers-in-random-location business, you big hairy fool”.

Total genius. My best tweezers are currently lost somewhere in the house so I hope one of my neighbours hops on board this franchise soon.

Ive already squirted one poster on here tonight with a metaphorical water pistol so that smooth faced fucker can get the second barrel

afaloren · 27/09/2025 21:48

I’d buy!!

minipie · 27/09/2025 21:49

Edited

Mine grows from the same spot so often I don’t even need a mirror 🤣

KelsCommemorativeSausage · 27/09/2025 23:06

I get three in rotation in a triangle. I pluck one, the next one grows. And so on, presumably forever.

I only ever realise one has popped back up when I haven't got any bloody tweezers so yes I'm in.

I saw that post about the water pistol earlier and now I can’t see it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can I ask that you expand your business model to include travelling pluckers who will visit the bedside of any hairy chinned woman who is unfortunate enough to be in a coma and, if her chin (and upper lip) are left to their own devices will grow a luxuriant goatee, embarrassing her intensely when she wakes up (one of my many fears)

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2025 23:24

I reckon you're on to something here, OP.

I spotted a woman sitting in the driving seat of a car outside my local supermarket last week, using the natural light and the car mirror to attend to her chin hairs. Your target market, right there.

Canthelpmyselffromjoiningin · 28/09/2025 00:04

I can't get on board with this at all, I'm the luddite of the plucker world. I've got a technique for removing the bastards with just my fingernails, and actually enjoy the sense of achievement this brings. I was stroking my chin earlier, looking for a new one, I only get about one a month and its just not enough, I'm addicted to pulling them out 🤣

Stichintime · 28/09/2025 00:11

KrystalStubbs, I had exactly your fear, which is why I embarked on a long, painful and expensive journey of electrolysis! In a few months I'll hopefully never have to worry again. Worth it for my peace if mind!

My girjfriends and I have a mutual agreement to visit coma sufferers in our group to pluck chin hairs!
