Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker — but it's not.

This is exactly what happens.
Regarding female facial hair, I am blessed in that my facial hair is so fair and so fine that it's hardly noticeable unless your up close in my face. In which case, you should either be my date, or a doctor. Any other persons are subject to verbal explicatives and angry shouting regarding as to why they are invading my personal space.
If you are bothered by dark facial hair, so much so that it gives you crippling anxiety, then maybe ask a dermatologist about laser hair removal. To me, bleaching sounds like such a hassle and shaving and waxing last only so long. Also, some methods of waxing leave the body open and more readily available to skin infections.
Chemical hair removing treatments sold on the market are either a hit or miss, or leave you with minor to moderate redness in the area you used it in. I think that's actually a result of the product burning your skin.
