I used to thread, which I found was the best and easiest method for me, specially once I learned how to do it myself. Then I got a coupon in my email (you know the service) for laser hair removal and jumped on it. My technician didn't tell me not to thread or wax or tweeze hairs between sessions, so the hairs aren't completely gone, but SO MUCH LESS than before! I bought a second coupon (because they're so cheap), so I'm really excited for the results this time, since I know what not to do. But seriously, I had weird scars on my upper lip from reoccurring ingrowns, which made it look like I had a dark 'stache anyway - had to cover it up with thick concealer every day. The laser has gotten rid of the ingrowns and peels have taken care of the scars. Plus I don't have to worry about having fuzz on my upper lip, period.
