* A manicurist/pedicurist
* Nose clippers
* Tweezers
* Moisturizer
* Stoicism

Step 1. Pick your poison

Consider your hair-removal options. Choices include shaving, depilatories, waxing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal.

Step 2. Consider shaving

Consider shaving, which is the least complicated method. If you don’t want to use a razor, use electric hair clippers—start on a long setting and go shorter until you’re satisfied.

Step 3. Consider depilatories

Consider depilatories, which are hair-removal creams that are applied to the skin; when they’re wiped off, the hair comes off, too. Using them is almost as easy as shaving, and the hair doesn’t grow back as quickly.

Step 4. Ponder your tolerance for pain

Ponder your tolerance for pain. If you think you can stand having hot wax poured on your body and then ripped off in paper strips, this option offers smooth results that last four to six weeks.

Step 5. Compare electrolysis and laser hair removal

If you have several thousand dollars to spend on permanent hair removal, compare and contrast electrolysis with its modern cousin, laser hair removal. Electrolysis requires dozens of sessions, while laser removal can be done in six or fewer.

Step 6. Trim other areas

Now that you no longer look like you’re wearing a sweater made of pubic hair, address other unsightly areas, wax that unibrow, and trim those nose hairs.

Step 7. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi

Complete your sleek new look by getting your fingernails and toenails buffed, shaped, and shined.

Step 8. Moisturize!

Keep your new, hairless skin smooth as a baby’s behind with daily moisturizing.
