Those of us with nose and ear hair.... I have a great solution... when I travel through a certain middle eastern country I stop to get my hair cut. I was there last week. I can get a Haircut, full shave, and nose and ear hair removal for $10. Now the best part.. because you can do this at home. The barber talkes melted wax (like ladies use for legs) gets it cool enough to roll into a small cylinder and stuffs it in your ear and nostril. He waits about 30 seconds and then "pops" it out like when you pull a band aid off. Really quick and hard.:eek: It does (almost) bring a tear to the eye but the hair is gone!! Stuck to the wax! It really works great. Why didn't we think of that here in he USA. Great technique. Every time I have to travel to that part of the world I stop for a haircut, shave and ear and nose job.

A match or lighter works great on nose hair. I would advise against using it on your ears because that would just be weird. :)
 
No he doesn't reuse it. But he does show you the used wax with the hair embedded as though you didn't feel it being ripped from your skin :eek:
Then he tosses it in the trash and ... and...goes in for seconds if he feels he didn't get it all:eek:
It's not an experience for the faint at heart. Many of my American friends over there aren't up for it:)
 
You guys get off easy. I have to shave my nose! Had my beak cut off (cancer), a new one built with rib grissel etc. Then they litteraly scalped me on top the head and used my scalp for over the nose framework. So the hair from top my head is now on my nose. I been wanting to let it grow so I can scare kids but theresa wont go for that.
I haff pictures!
 
I haven't seen an $8 haircut in 10 years. And I live in the mid west... not Boston or NYC where I am sure they are 1.5 to 2X what they are here. A simple, low priced cut here is $16 and I can't even find a barber who still does shaves.

That's a service that seems to have gone away and I'm not sure why.
I used to watch the barber when I was a kid do hair cuts and shaves. I couldn't wait until I was old enough to at least get the shaving cream and razor around the ears and neck. By the time I was ... most barber shaving was fading out.
