I have the same problem... and I'm probably going to be going with the professional waxing. I'll be doing my legs once... and then going with this until I can gather up enough money for laser hair removal.
This place has your first under arm waxing free... so... you can try it... without having to commit to it. I'm going to do that... just to see how it'll work.
go to waxcenter . com (won't let me post a link yet)
Then go look at the waxings, then at "free wax offer".
There might be one near you...
I'm going to be going maybe Wednesday, because I have this dance thing on Friday... I can let you know how it goes.
