Shaving is the cheapest way to remove unwanted hair.
The cost of hair removal treatment varies depending on the method of removal chosen. Some methods for hair removal, such as shaving, are cheap while other methods, like laser hair removal, can be very expensive. Cost may also vary depending on where the unwanted hair is on your body and how much hair you want to remove.
Shaving
If you want cheap and easy hair removal, shave unwanted hair using a razor and shaving cream or an electric razor. When using a razor and shaving cream, shaving your face everyday costs an average of $500 per year, and shaving your legs 156 days out of the year costs an average of $250 per year. If you opt for an electric razor, you'll only have to pay the cost of the electric razor itself. Electric razors can be cheap (less than $30) or expensive (more than $200).
Depilatory
Depilatory creams remove unwanted hair via a chemical process that dissolves hair. Different creams are designed for different parts of the body and vary in price from about $5 to $20, although you might find some more expensive creams on the market.
Waxing
You can wax unwanted hair at home or go to a salon or spa and have a licensed professional do it for you. If you wax your legs once a month, prepare to spend about $420 per year. At the spa, waxing prices vary depending on the location of unwanted hair. For example, an eyebrow wax might cost $15 and a bikini wax might cost $45.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis costs a lot more than waxing, but often the unwanted hair doesn't grow back, so the investment can be worth it. If it isn't permanent (this depends on your hair type), you might need to have it done 15 to 20 times per year. The average price of electrolysis on the back per year, if you have it done 20 times that year, is $6,234.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal prices vary depending on how many treatments you need and on what part of the body. On average, a person needs eight treatments before unwanted hair stops growing back. The average cost of laser hair removal on the back (eight treatments) is $4,400. The price would be considerably lower for a small area like the face or bikini line.
