Tweezing

The Pros:
Tweezing is the most common form of hair removal and probably the most convenient. You can do it yourself, which means you can do it anytime, and any place. The other good news? It’s very inexpensive. All you need to purchase is a pair of tweezers and you’re set!
The Cons:
Although tweezing can be used for quick fixes, it is rather a hassle and can take up precious time to sit and tweeze both of your eyebrows. It can also be very frustrating to do by yourself. Having professional help can be very useful when it comes to hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal

The Pros:
Laser hair removal is a more permanent form of hair removal. Most people see about an 80% reduction in hair growth after their laser hair removal treatments. Less shaving, more time for other things!
The Cons:
Depending on where you live, laser hair removal can be quite expensive. It can range anywhere between $150-$200. It also can be a little painful. If you are considering trying it, taking a few Advil before you go might be wise.
Threading

The Pros:
Threading is becoming more common and seems to be popping up everywhere. It usually only takes up to about 5 minutes and costs around $5-$12 depending on location. Threading shops can be found in most malls or retail outlets.
The Cons:
Although it does not take up very much time, it is less convenient than tweezing in that you have to travel to a place that threads professionally. If you are interested in threading, but don’t want to travel every time, try a professional threading shop and then keep them up on your own.
Waxing

The Pros:
Waxing has been around for quite sometime and a lot of people live by it. It is a rather inexpensive hair removal process. The cost depends on what you are having waxed, but eyebrows and upper lip are usually about $10 while legs and bikini area ranges around $75. It normally is a very quick process and lasts 2-3 weeks.
The Cons:
Waxing can be a little painful, especially if it is your first time. It also, like threading, does not have the convenience factor that tweezing does.
When deciding what hair removal process works best for you, keep in mind that different processes work better for different areas and different skin types. To decide what hair removal solution works best for you; figure out which one is best for you and your lifestyle. Hair removal can sometimes be a dreadful task, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the results!
