5.0 out of 5 stars IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!
I am amazed by all the negative reviews about this product.. Amazed and dismayed... Dismayed that a product that BY FAR exceeds my expectations of working would be so negatively received by a public that would dearly LOVE to have a hair removal tool that actually works, is pain free, relatively inexpensive, and can be used in the privacy of your home.... I USE to be...

This system does what it promises.. Removes hair. However, the process is very tedious and painstaking. Hair in other places, however is not so easy to remove.

3.0 out of 5 stars Finally Free??, December 27, 2000

"shannon@mesh.net" (Ft. Worth, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
This system does what it promises.. Removes hair. However, the process is very tedious and painstaking. Hair in other places, however is not so easy to remove. Also, remember, this is PERMANENT hair removal. Fads may change, so be careful what hair you remove.. pencil-thin eyebrows may not be the rage in a few years.

You must tweeze the hair after a treatment. The packaging states that the hair is 'removed easily after treatment'. This is not completely true. It -is- removed easily, however do not be mistaken... it -hurts-. You are still pulling the hair out at the roots.

I loved this product when removing any unruly eyebrow hairs and facial hair. I would not recommend this product for any other area.

1.0 out of 5 stars frustrating trial, January 3, 2002
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
I ordered the Finally Free product for my daughter. She was so disappointed that she asked to write the review that follows: after using this product a year in hopes that something magical would happen- i have decided this product is [...junk]. do not buy this product. it does not work, and it is a pain to think that this product got my hopes up to permantly remove embarrassing hairs. all i have to say is, Finally Free will be be Finally Chucked in the Garbage for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, November 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
Home electrolysis(the one with a needle) kits only work for one or two pesky thin hairs. This kind(the tweezer one)absolutely does not work. I've tried it, along with many other hair removal products, and it definitely does not work. If you feel very inclined to purchasing this, check the return policy carefully.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a piece of junk!, October 21, 2004
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
These people should be shot. My unit did not remove any hairs, any time, anywhere, under any circumstance, condition or for whatever reason. I returned mine and eventually (8 weeks later) got a refund of $86 even though I spent $120. Applied the tweezer to the hair and waited as long as 4-5 minutes per hair but it still did not even hint at removing the hair unless I actually plucked it out with the tweezers. Standard manual tweezers are a better choice since it's instantaneous and only costs $2.00 in any drug store. Cant' rate this product low enough! One star rating is an outrageous gift, but there is no option here for negative stars.....Talk about snake oil salesmen!

1.0 out of 5 stars Approved by the FDA???, February 1, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
OK, yes this product has been approved for use by the FDA. BUT, after doing some research on the FDA's website, I have discovered that all that takes is proving that this system is "essentially equivalent" to systems already out on the market! I also found that, according to the FDA, there is no statistically significant data available (even from their "published trials" which I had no luck in locating) to support claims of long-term or permanent hair removal through use of tweezer-type epilators. Bottom line...check the advertiser's claims before you buy their product because obviously these claims don't hold water!

1.0 out of 5 stars It does not work and can't work, November 13, 2001
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
Don't believe anybody who writes that this product works, because it does not and cannot - the whole conscept of killing hair roots by electric current is false and utopic because it's been proved that the hair is not an electric current transistor (even if it's completely wet, the electric current won't penetrate below the skeen surface).
Note to Tamy (previous review): - it's obvious that this review has been fabricated, because she writes about her own exprience and then suddenly announces that this product works on all hair types and colors. How can the person have multiple hair types or colors? It's an obvious advertisement.

1.0 out of 5 stars do NOT buy, June 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
This is a big waste of your time and money. In addition to the product not working and delivering promised results, the company does NOT stand behind its 100% satisfaction guarantee policy that is promoted on the website.

I purchased this unit plus 2 additional packs of the hair removal patches. When I returned it all (within 7 days of delivery) the company refunded my money for the unit itself, but NOT for the additional patches even though they were unopened.

I corresponded with the "president" (David Walsh) of the company and he refused to stand behind the 100% part of the satisfaction guarantee. He'd rather receive bad reviews about the product than refund me a minimal dollar amount. The dollar amount is only $26, but it really speaks volumes about the integrity of this company that he won't sacrifice such a small amount to make a customer happy. They do not care about making customers happy or secure with their purchases.

Take your business and your money elsewhere. This product is as useful for removing hair as a tennis shoe would be.

1.0 out of 5 stars It just doesn't work., June 26, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
The bottom line is, this product simply does not work. I followed the directions carefully, and waited the appropriate time, but saw no effect at all. As your mother probably told you, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Once again, mother was right.

This product is a complete rip off. It does nothing it claims to do and when trying to take advantage of the guarantee, they never respond.(...)

2.0 out of 5 stars A Pain in the A**, October 3, 2001
By 
Liz Kent (Sweet Briar College) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finally Free F-140 Ultra-Permanent Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)
Bottom line is, it sort of works ... you have to hold each hair
for 30-60 seconds to make it turn loose. And one treatment won't kill the hair. Imagine doing this for each and every hair! Believe me, this is a slow, slow, slow process.

It works better on thin hairs. Heavy chin hairs are immune to this product. So if you have a few thin eyebrow hairs to kill, it might be worth your time. But I would rather be washing a cat than use this thing again!
