We've all been there � having to tell a friend something they don't necessarily want to hear. It's never easy, but, as a friend, you believe that it's your duty to be honest with her.
To find out the textbook way to go about such a thing, we consulted etiquette expert Lizzie Post (her great, great grandma Emily Post's eponymous etiquette book is considered by many to be the bastion of all that's mannerly) and asked her the best way to let a friend know she should probably contend with her facial hair.
When it comes to telling someone something they don't want to hear, know that knowledge is power. As Post explains, "it helps to have advance insight about whether or not they want to know those types of things [so], I try to make a mental note when friends say things like, 'If I ever have blank, please tell me.' Broaching the subject ahead of time can really save a lot of squirming about what to do."
If you don't have any advance insight as to how to proceed with a friend, do it gingerly or not at all says Post. "Take her aside and let her know you're telling her because you're her friend. Turn it into a 'girl power' moment." And, maybe even suggest that you both go take care of it together. "I'm going to get my chin waxed on Saturday. Want to come?" Strength in numbers -- works every time.

Shaving your face never has seemed like a good idea to me, tweezing is the way to go!

For me, waxing and tweezing are the only way to go. Shaving your face is a big no no in my opinion!

I love old school veet, just don't leave it on too long or you will end up with redness.

I'll leave it to the professionals... I'm too scared of messing up something I can't hide.

I have used (sally hansen) also got outline..burn as well..lotion only makes it worse..but shaving for some like my mom (during my entire childhood) looks like a mans beard if she doesnt.. It does depend on the individual. Please yourself first..Then worry about everyone else..

when i used a hair removal cream for my face (a sally hansen product), it removed the hair but left my skin feeling very strange in the areas i used it. my makeup wouldn't stick to the areas i used it for almost 3 weeks! i walked around with a huge outline of where i used it on the side of my face. has anyone else ever had this issue? liquid, cream, powder... nothing would stay stick! it would just build up around it.

i have been shaving my peach fuzz since i was 16 and NO your hair does not grow back thicker or anything of the crazy sort. of course everyone reacts differently to any kind of shaving, waxing or tweezing but for this 23 year old hispanic girl shaving is the best option!
