As an ancient hair-removal practice, Sugaring is an all natural method of removing unwanted hair. Sugaring is originated in Egypt at least three centuries ago. It gaining popularity today because the effects are similar to waxing. The process is so simple, salon quality results can be achieved at home with very little practice. The sugaring method is similar to the waxing method, however since the sugaring compound adheres only to the hair and not the skin, as wax does, there is less discomfort.
Sugaring falls into the category of epilation. This means that the hair is removed by its roots, below the skin's surface. This is one of the reasons sugaring is preferable to shaving. Because the hair is removed below the skin's surface, it is not uncommon for one application to last four to six weeks.
Achieving great results with sugaring is remarkably easy! Here's how it's done:
First, the hair to be removed must be allowed to grow to a minimum of 1/8 of an inch in length for the process to work well.
The sugaring compound is warmed, not heated, about 10 seconds in a microwave.
Then, a very thin layer of the compound is spread over the skin.
Next a strip of cotton or muslin cloth is placed over the sugaring compound.
In one swift motion the cloth is pulled off, in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Contrary to popular belief, this does not hurt. The cloth strips can easily be rinsed clean, dried and used again.
Lotion is applied to the skin after the area is cleaned.
Sugaring is a fast, effective and long lasting method of hair removal. It is also very safe, since no harsh chemicals are used

Go to Sally beauty supply and get the wax your self. They should have all the products you need. GiGi is a good brand. Get a warmer and some strips. If you have had it done you can do it your self, just make sure you go in the direction on the hair with the wax and pull the opposite direction. I stopped going to the salon when I figured out I could do it my self. You do have to be a little flexible but it is worth it.

Well...the obvious answer is to go to a different cosmetician this one time, and get a bikini wax.
If you REALLY don't want to see anyone else - I'd try a cream hair removal like "Sally" and touch it up with a razor.

use diplimatry cream (sorry thats spelt wrong lol) You leave it on for about 5 minutes and it dissolves the hair, then you just wipe it off. There are loads avaialable at supermarkets etc.
