For the person you're replying to, lighter hair (such as blonde, gray, or some form of dirty blonde) generally doesn't work with laser. To deal with those hairs, the option is electrolysis which is slow, painful, and more expensive than laser especially for large areas but also a very high hair kill rate.

I always forget that different hair types (not really sure about the terminology) have completely different needs, thanks for the information.

A friend of mine lived with an electrolysis tech for a while, and she got basically all her legs done for free over the course of multiple years. I experienced it a few times — I imagine the pain is similar to how a tattoo would hurt.

For me, the cost was by far, the most expensive part. Sucks to be ginger
