I don't have a facial hair problem, but I would recommend threading. I get my eyebrows threaded (it is an Indian method, an alternative to waxing which gives the eyebrows a much better shape). It depends on availability/where you live because typically, Americans do not do this, usually just Indian women. Anyway, you can get all your facial hair threaded, which tends to work better than waxing.. I would just say that if you don't have a high pain threshold, don't go for it. It is different than waxing because waxing is just one pull-- threading is constant pain until it's done. To me, it's not that big of a deal, but again, it depends on your threshold.
