Waxing your face must really hurt. I've plucked single hairs and just extrapolating from that OWWCHIE!!
I have been doing two- one hour electrolysis sessions every week for 3 months - and the two months before that it was half hour sessions. (I saved for quite a while).
I had been talking to my esthetician about the two options in our town for laser. We chatted about it over the months and then on Feb 17, I dropped into the better of the two. I knew they would be more expensive, but they have the latest equipment and there is a doctor there who runs the show. I just decided overall, I didn't want to take the extra risk of using the lesser of the two to save money.
As luck would have it, there had been a cancellation, and I spoke directly to the woman (technician) who would be doing my treatments. To make a long story short, within 90 minutes I had finished a consultation, a test 'burn' to see if the skin reacts, and a full face and neck treatment. I'm so glad I went finally (and I was just dropping in to make an appointment for a consultation!)
If you want to get electrolysis and laser eventually, think positively and make positive affirmations to yourself. I know there's a million reasons (well, ok, maybe only a cupple hundred thousand) to think negatively in the transition process and we all struggle with those. I have a trick that I play with my negative archetypes. I interrupt them all the time. At first they were like: "Excuse me." "I was talking, how dare you." "You are powerless against me." etc, etc, etc, and I felt my knees buckling lots. But now I just cut them off. Simple. Inner archetypes, outer clones and drones, all those negative blabbering morons - I just cut them off before they can take any of my energy, and I give myself a pat on the back doing it. Every time. You have to notice these things, and practice them. I'm sure there's a lot of people who start transition and end up in distress, giving up etc. The game is between me, myself, and I.
Ok, there's pep talk number 47. I hope that's an ok thing.

Oh, and I can relate big time to the having hair on your face bit - that's hard on the timing etc. I know a self-proclaimed she male (just so you don't think I use that term lightly) who won't go to elecrolysis because she doesn't want to have to grow her face hair out at all... It ain't easy.
