You can get Nair at any drugstore or Wal Mart. They have Nair especially formulated for your face that you can use for your upper lip or eye brows. I like Veet products better myself. Nair smells so much stronger, but Veet makes my legs and armpits so smooth. Both products suggest doing a patch-test before use, which I highly recommend because you will never know when you'll have a reaction to something.You can visit www.naircare.com for more info. You can also visit www.veet.com for info too.

You can find Nair in drugstores. I don't really recommend Nair because it doesn't work that well and can cause bad skin irritations and rashes, even if you've never had a bad reaction with it before. Don't use anything on your face unless it's specifically made for your face. It will say so right on the box.
As far as legs and arms and stuff, I recommend the Veet Rasera kit (also sold in drugstores). It's similar to Nair, because it's a cream. You leave it on for about 5 minutes, and use this tool they supply with it (kinda looks like a razor, but has no blade. It's plastic and rubber) to remove the hair. It works quite well for a depilatory cream and I've never had any problems with it causing any irritation, but it varies from person to person.
Neither of them hurt unless you end up suffering from skin irritation from the products, most of which is not that severe. Most of the time if you have a problem, your skin will just end up being really itchy and red.

If you need to get rid of noticeable hair just shave it until the weekend. Then get Nair at any drugstore (Walmart or K-Mart, Target) and use it Friday evening just in case you might have a reaction. Most people have no problem with it.
Shaving will not make the hair worse....that is an old wives tale.It just feels worse when it grows in as it has a sharpe cut off end. Do not pluck it will make it worse.... as waxing also does on most people.

They have nair cream/wax, specifically, for the face [it might irritate your face, but you can put cortisone to keep the redness away or to minimize it] and they have nair for other parts of your body.
You can buy it in any drugstore like CVS/RiteAid or supermarkets.. even online [i.e. Drugstore.com; cvs.com, etc]
No, it doesn't hurt. Don't leave it on longer than the stated amount of time though [4 minutes, usually.. test a spot before wiping it off; if it doesn't wipe off.. leave it on for a few more minutes but no more than 8-10 minutes]

you shouldnt use nair on your face. Its made to be used on the legs. it could very well cause a rash on your face. Try going to a beauty salon and having it waxed.

Walmart, drugstore...have it. Yeah, it can leave redness. I think you're supposed to do a patch of skin to make sure you aren't allergic.
