Thinking of buying a "No- No" ? Just say Nope Nope

My wife was sporting a shaving knick on her chin for Thanksgiving dinner. Not a big deal. But Christmas is coming & gee I'd heard of this thing on TV called the "No-No". I hate to say-Even Stephanie Miller is hawking them.

So I looked on the Amazon website-and 1st thing is they are $300.00!!

Then the reviews...

I've never seen such lopsided bad reviews. Hopefully I can save someone the trouble of trying to get their money back.

Good to know. I wondered about that product. It just says it removes hair. It doesn't permanently kill the root. Right? Sounds like it doesn't even remove it very well.

about Amazon.com is that it's a great place to get product reviews, even if one chooses not to buy from them.

I always check out the product reviews. Not just the number of stars, but reading them as well...because some people (intentionally or unintentionally) screw up the favorable review percentages by wretching about things that have nothing to do with the actual product itself.

Like issues with the shipper or failure to read the product descriptions before buying, misuse, etc.

But that No-No thing looked like an all-around bust for a whole lot of people.

when I got there I knew something was up when I had to answer a bunch of questions before they would even give me the price. When I told her how much it cost she just said, "NO!"
