Apr 24. 2020 by Shaver Shop Team

If you’re needing an easy hair removal solution at-home right now, don’t panic – we’ve got you. Whether you’re after a quick and short term fix or more of a permanent hair reduction solution, our options are endless. Let’s see which suits you best!

Flawless Hair Removal

The Flawless Hair Removal range is your one stop shop for instant, painless and short fix hair removal. The range has your whole face and body covered and their products are super easy and handy to use. The range consists of small devices which don’t take up a lot of space so they’re easy to store or carry around with you in your handbag. More importantly, they are great for touch ups in between beauty salon appointments or when you can’t get to one. If you love affordable, low maintenance and instant fixes, look no further.

Why we love it?

Brows – There is a built-in LED light so you can see the tiniest hairs - So much easier than using tweezers!

Face – Target sensitive areas on your face without irritation or redness – a great alternative to waxing.

Legs – A great handheld device that gives you 4 times more coverage than a razor. Plus, you won’t make a mess with the device capturing all of the hair as you go.

Nu Razor - A bi-directional, rechargeable device that makes it easy to remove body hair without soap, water or fuss! 

IPL Long Term Hair Removal

You’ve heard of laser hair removal, but maybe not IPL. Long term hair removal devices use light-based technology called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), derived from the technology used in professional beauty salons. It has been adapted for safe and effective use in the comfort of your own home to deliver long lasting smooth skin at a lower cost than professional services. This is the perfect solution for those who prefer long-term hair removal and who may not be able to continue laser treatments at a salon. A couple of our top picks include the top selling Philips Lumea Advanced and the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5. The Lumea is perfect for body hair treatments with objective studies show at least 85% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments**. The Pro 5 on the other hand is great for body and face treatments and claims permanent hair reduction in just 4 weeks*!

**Measured on legs, 67% out of 45 women reach 85% or higher results. *Assessed on lower leg, armpits & bikini, following the treatment schedule. Individual results may vary. Efficiency based on the combination of window size, speed and energy. Safety technology shared with Cyden.

Why we love it?

No more salon costs! The cost of the IPL device pays itself off with each use and you can treat as many areas as you like without the financial burden. Start now to be hair-free by summer!

Epilators

Epilation isn’t revolutionary – it’s been around for a long time, but there’s a reason for it. If you’ve never used an epilator, it’s basically multiple tweezers on a spinning wheel which extract the hair from the root. Similar results to waxing, hair may grow back thinner. You may find it a little painful, but it’s not too different to waxing (without the mess)! Our top epilation kits are extremely versatile and there’s great value for money. Take the Braun FaceSpa Facial Pro Epilator – it lets you enjoy three face treatments with one device by simply switching the attachments. Precisely remove facial hair by the root with the facial epilator, and cleanse skin pore deep with the face brush – proven to be 6x more effective than a manual face wash. There’s also the Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex Epilator with Exfoliation Brush which is the world's first epilator with a fully flexible head making it easier to get results. It has a 40% wider head that removes hairs as short as 0.5mm when using wet or dry. The entire kit includes the epilator, shaver head, trimmer head, body exfoliation brush, cleaning brush and charger. 

Why we love it?

Waxing at home can be messy and sticky, epilating gives you a similar result without all the mess! Try taking a bath or shower prior to beginning epilation, this will help to open up your pores and calm your skin for a less-painful treatment.
