Fortunately, there is a cheapish laser salon in my area that works well for my face, but some women have told me that they get their laser done by the students at a cosmetologist school that's even cheaper. It might be worth looking into whether that's available in your area.
An epilator works great for the rest of my body, and my skin feels much better to me after the hair has been pulled all the way out. It only really hurt the first few times. After that the pain turned into pleasure. Seriously, it feels so nice that I have to remind myself to not just bliss out. My sense of general happiness even stays improved for days after as well! Try the epilator. But don't use it on your face!
Don't dare use this one on your face, but some folks make their own electrolysis setups. It will cause scaring if you don't know what you are doing.
