Hey,
So I have just seen the 50% off voucher for the IPL machine at Farmers. What an AWESOME deal! However, my leg hair is very blonde. Would it work on me, do you think? Anyone blonde had experience with IPL?

I'd really like to hear more from Kellie on what she thinks - I know she trialled the remington one not the one on offer but just to see if it's worth persevering :) Last I read of your journey, Kellie, you were persevering with a razor at times I think?

Hi, sorry, just saw this - I barely had time to look at BR yesterday *sob*
Yeah, I've decided IPL is a long game, and a game for the patient. I'm only doing my armpits at the moment, and whilst the left armpit now only has one patch to die off (!?), the right armpit is being stubborn as. My 'kini line (which did well with my initial zip zaps) needs another few zaps in one particular spot as I noticed an errant straggler yesterday.
I gave up on the legs during summer. My IPL unit doesn't like tanned legs, and when it's hot and you spend a good part of the day dressed in shorts and out and about with a two year old you're gonna get a tan, so I'm waiting until jeans weather hits before I get into it.
It's the old Pantene it won't happen over night thing ...

Amazing deal though! One thing I've pondered on and off is how it works at a salon. If hair has it's own growth cycle, what would happen if you paid a thousand dollars for ten sessions (or however much it costs), and your hair was in the wrong cycles when you had the treatments, and then at the end you were left with patchy legs/armpits/bikini - I think that's why I love that it can be done in-home - it's more affordable, and if after however many treatments it's still not fully bare you can feel like you've saved money.
Does that make sense? Haha, I'm only half way through my first cup of coffee and I went to bed too late and woke up too early. Oops. Naughty!

thanks Kellie... I figure the things in my favour atm are the pale skin, black hair, the season and the fact that I am quite happy to sit at night and blast stuff. I think what it's going to come down to for me is 'in a year, would I wish I had'?
Really useful to hear the update from you - I followed your story like many on here and was wondering if you'd had a decent success rate!

I think this is a wonderful opportunity to nab one of these, thank you BR so as I couldn't find much about it on here, I googled it & found there are other models available that seem more powerful than this one on offer. This one is 30k pulses but there are others that offer 50k through to 150k pulses surely these would perform better? I'm in a bit of turmoil as I don't want to miss out on this fab offer but don't want to splash the cash if I could get something better for a wee bit more money, or wait a while until the tech improves & the price drops anyway? Can anyone offer some advice? Many thanks.
I'm going to take a look at the item in person and decide.
From what I have read online the only differences between this one and the one already listed on the review is the number of light pulses it can do 30,000, 50,000 and 150,000. There is also no replacement cartridge option once used up, I figure for the amount that I wax it would be worth giving it a go for a bit.

Thanks for the heads up on the pulses thing. I didn't know anything about that. Charly I'd say we could go halves. But then if it's not as powerful and doesn't have replaceable cartridges...that's a few down sides already. And it is true that the longer you wait, the better technology gets and for a better price.
It is a fantastic offer!!
I've wondered about that too Kellie - with the growth cycle vs Salon visits... I'd like to think the Technician would know about these things & appointments would be made according the cycle.... if that's a possibility.
I did some research on the Silk & Glide unit after missing out on the Trial as I wanted to get one & I'm a little worried about it to be honest. There's a few burn stories and one of the Ladies at Shaver Shop in Westfield Riccarton told me they're not allowed to stock them in their stores anymore but she wouldn't say why....
I'm not going to take the risk just now as my chin is my problem area on my face & is scarred up enough from years of plucking & picking (I have a slight obsession). So I'll just stick to waxing & plucking... ho hum
