The Classy Closet

Hey there!! So tonight instead of my usual bantering about Fashion and the Celebs who wear Rockin' clothing I thought I would ask for your advice. I have a little secret.
Ssshhhh.. its just between us, right?

Ok.. here goes.

I am Italian. And I am hairy. Yes... totally gross. I shave my legs every other day ( every day in the summer) and my armpits get shaved every morning in the shower.

I also wax my eyebrows myself ( I have a Cosmetology license so its silly to pay someone to do it when I can buy the professional stuff for cheap) so that gets done once every 2 weeks.

BUT... for the last 2-3 years I have been getting teeny tiny little BLACK hairs growing on my chin and neck. Not long ones... little stubbly ones. Like GROSS!

I have tried waxing them but they are so thick and wiry that they wont come out. I have tried plucking them ( that usually works but I have to pluck them daily) and I find myself sitting in the car waiting at the school to drop off the kids tweezing in the car mirror because at that angle I can see more of them.

My hubby keeps telling me to just shave my chin and neck area at night to zip them away but I am super afraid if I do then every day i will have stubble...its super irritating.

The tweezing is working but its tedious because it seems like I get them out but then the next day there are more or different ones in different areas.

This is super annoying and because they are coming in black ( and I have even pulled a few white ones.. WTF?)... I cant even seem to cover them with makeup. They arent the soft little wispy hairs that most people get.. these are full on THICK black hairs. Again.. not long... just sitting on the surface of my face.

HELP! I do NOT want to end up one of those old Italian NONA's with a FULL beard! So terrifying.

What can I do? Laser? professional waxing? Bleach? Anyone, Anyone? Please weigh in!!

I am not italian and I have the same problem, ever since I had kids. I pluck, and they do seem to come right back. Very annoying! I also have one above my upper lip...black as sin. :-( Let me know if you find out the solution!

Professional waxing I'd think.
Tweezing seems like a nightmare, and if you just have to do it the next day, *sigh*
Can you get a deal on professional waxing?
I hate hair that grows in the wrong place.
Eek! Good luck deciding what to do.
