Smile Will it just burn your pockets or your skin?

If it works for those pesty chesties...I would invest in it..but I would need to see results right away!

I know it may be better than nothing at all. but I am at my witts end with companies that take your money for magic hair removal solutions without putting forth a good product. Life is becoming too expensive to throw away money...I'll continue to hide in the house! LOL!

I would love to hear if any of my cysters is exceptionally pleased with it! (then I'll take my chances!)

Angry NO!NO! didn't work for me

OK ladies, I tried the NONO and first I tried it on my legs, It did burn the hair off, DID NOT make it smooth. Just took enough off that you couldn't see it. So even though it says don't use on face I treid it anyway. If you have really sensitive skin I would NOT do this. It did burn, but I thought if it works it's better than shaving every AM. Well it didn't work on my face at all. I guess the stubble is to short, but in my opinion it's way to long to go out in public. That's been my problem, you can see them but no cream or epi will take it off, I guess to short that's why I'm forced to shave. Hope this helps.

Any new updates on this product from those of you using it? I'm interested, but hesitant due to the price. Thanks for any and all info/updates about it gals. Jean

I looked at it the other day in Sephora, and to me, it looked like a glorified razor (there's a tiny blade in it). But it sounds like it doesn't even work as well as a razor (I never had to use a buffer after a good shave.)

IMO, not worth the money. For $250, you can have several chin/lip laser treatments.

It looks like a blade but it isn't. It's a wire that burns the hair follicle. Then you use the buffer and it helps remove the hair.

I just got the NoNo at Sephora today. I'm going to try it out and I will try to come back and give some updates on a weekly basis. I'm really hoping this works.

Default first day

I tried out No!No! today on my forearms. They suggest starting with someplace smooth, so I decided to do that. After reading the instructions I used the longer hair blade since the hair on my arms isn't short. I don't have a ton of hair there, but of course I don't care for having as much as I do. I kind of hadn't expected that the smell of the burning hair would bother me, but it actually did. I would suggest that when you use no!no! you do it in a well-ventilated room. Don't shut yourself into a tiny bathroom, which is what I did initially but then I opened the door and window to lessen the smell which helped. Sounds silly but it made me slightly nauseous at first.

Using the no!no! wasn't too hard. It does take a bit of practice to get the hang of the smooth gliding motion to keep the green light on. I had to practice that a bit. I definitely missed some hairs and I didn't try to do the area of my wrist bone since they suggest you practice more before attempting bumpy or bony areas. Overall it went well. It wasn't fast, but I didn't think it took too long. Faster than when I used NADs for sure and probably the same as someone else waxing your arms.

Afterwards I used the buffer to get rid of the hairs which worked fine. It wasn't as abrasive as I expected so I didn't even get more than a tinge red. I stopped with my arms, as I have sensitive skin and I want to see how my skin reacts over the next day or two before I try my legs. Also the hair grows much faster on my legs, so I figured doing my arms a few days prior would be fine and maybe next time I can hit them both at the same time.

If my arms don't react badly I will do my legs and then also probably try (sorry for tmi) my backside since that has a lot of hair that I'm self conscious about. I don't plan to risk it on my face because I use Vaniqa which keeps things under control for me. I'll also try it on my belly and underarms once I get the hang of it.

I'll come back and report.

I just wanted to make sure you guys all noticed the part about not being able to use it on your face...which is of course the only reason that I would ever pay that amount for anything. I'm fine with Nair for my legs, but I would love to find something like this for my face, but I'm completely turned off now just for that reason...it's a darn shame..I was getting really excited!
