This is hot shit! The new revolutionary hair removal system, No! No! kicks major ass. I held back reviewing this product until I had properly tested it. At $250, I do not want to recommend a product that I would later regret. So test it I did, for the past 5 months, No!No! in my favorite color, pink ;)What I had initially failed to realize, is that No!No! is not a razor, my bad. I was wondering why it did not give a clean, smooth "shave." Stupid me, I did not check the labels until 3 weeks into it when I thought it was weird that this so called "revolutionary" product would leave me with stubbles.
It was then that I went to Sephora's website, for I had received this as a complimentary gift and long tossed out the box and instructions booklet. It clearly states the following: "no!no! is not a razor: Using no!no! in conjunction with the buffer will remove the majority of hair, but not all. For smoothest results, especially in the first few weeks of your hair reduction program, use a razor along with no!no! for a clean shave. Use the buffer to remove residue and maximize smoothness, then shower or bathe and follow with body moisturizer."
This product is a hair density reducer and not a shaver! Yes, it does emit a semi-pungent odor, but there is always a price to be paid for beauty; and in my case, hair-free does not equate odor-free. That, I will gladly live with. How does it compare to a wax job? Not even close. No! No! is pain-free! Please note, No! No! is not for use on the face!
As for the hot blade, simply replace it with a new one when you feel that it is not working like it should. I replace mine every 5-6 weeks. Also, you need to make sure you are using the correct hot blade according to your hair length. One is for hair over 1mm and the other under 1mm. The first time I used it, I used the one for hair over 1mm; and since then I stuck to the blade for hair under 1mm since I use my No! No! every other day!
So after 5 months of using it every other day, I am proud to say I have seen a SIGNIFICANT (at least 50%) reduction in my hair density on my legs, arms, and underarms. I especially love that I no longer have to deal with in-growth hair which has plagued me all my shaving career. Yes, I am whole-heartedly endorsing this product.
Buy it now at Sephora, $250, No! No! comes in black, blue, and my favorite pink.

I wanted to be the first (that I hav found on the internet) to provide a review for no!no! as a remover of female facial hair.
Yes, the instructions clearly state that no!no! is not to be used on the face. I've seen a number of posts where people ask why that is, but I've seen none where anyone says they've actually tried it on their face.
Well, I am a 30 year old woman with significant hair growth on part of my chin, and a portion of my "submental" area (that area under the chin that most consider to be part of the neck.) I have not wanted to use laser hair removal, mostly because I go to great lengths to hide the problem, and don't want to have to deal with it in a public place! The hair does not exactly follow a male facial hair pattern, but it is thick and dark, just like that of a man.
I bought no!no! intending to flout the rules and try it on my face. I want to say that I tried it for the first time tonight, and I had absolutely no problems! Now, of course I cannot speak to its long-term hair reduction effectiveness. But, I did discover that no!no! did NOT hurt. It did not burn. When held at a 90 degree angle to the skin (just as you need to do when using it on the rest of the body) it glided along, the green light holding steady. (The no!no! emits a green light... when it flickers, you are not moving it along the right way. When it is steady, you are.)
Yes, the no!no! is boxy, so it does not hug curves. But, it is also small, so you have no trouble making small passes along curved areas until the whole area has been "treated." I found that the heat the no!no! emits feltslightly stronger on my chin than it did on my leg and hand (two areas I tried it first) but it was not get uncomfortable. A word of caution, though. Just be confident, and gently and consistently glide the no!no! along as the instructions state. Do not get jumpy if the light flickers, and start losing confidence. And by no means should you ever leave the no!no! in one place on the skin - that COULD leave slight burns. But when used as directed (although on a place they caution against using it) you should have no problem. I should mention, though, that I have NOT used it on my upper lip. I imagine that might be more sensitive than the chin, but I suppose it would depend on the person.
I look forward to seeing if there is any permanent reduction in hair density. In any case, it, combined with the buffer, is very effective at immediately removing hair. It does this painlessly, and almost noiselessly (you just hear the product rolling along the skin.) I have in the past used an electric razor, which was quite effective at giving a close, long-lasting shave, with no bumps, but it made a noise which could be heard by others. This promises total privacy
To anonymous --
I have the same exact problem as you, and am going to buy a no!no! today...I hope it works. Please give an update on your progress. I have tried everything and nothing else seems to work. I am currently using Vaniqa, have tried laser (didn't work), shaving, waxing, and creams. Please let me know what happens!! Thanks.
