SEPHORA no!no! Contest Give-Away! April 21, 2008 to May 7, 2008
Have you longed for the no!no!? Perhaps, you’ve read all the reviews and really, really want the no!no! but for some reason or another you haven’t been able to get that lovely, hair reduction tool into your hands. What if I were to tell you that one lucky reader will be the owner of a new no!no! – maybe that reader is you! The Sephora No!No! contest is here!
************************************************************************
(UPDATE: March 02, 2008- scroll to bottom) The no!no! hair removal system has been delivered into my anxiously awaiting hands. I snapped some photos to show you what comes with the no!no!.
Bottom view of no!no! box. Cute slogan on the bottom: “no!no! uses science not magic”
The top view of the box illustrates what you should expect upon opening the no!no! package.
The package contains two plastic trays, the above image shows the top tray which contains the no!no!, a training CD/DVD and user manual.
The second (bottom) tray contains the no!no! accessories – storage pouch, power supply, 2 – Hot Blades for long hair, 3 – Hot Blades for stubble, cleaning brush and buffer.
The no!no! and all its accessories.
The no!no! is quite small and from the front view looks as slim as an iPod but it’s not…
As you can see from the no!no! profile, it’s quite a bit thicker than you would expect. Even thick around the middle, the no!no! was small enough to hold comfortably.
October 3rd 2007 Update:Sephora no!no! Hair Remover in ActionI read the manual and watched the training video – which I highly recommend to any one who purchases this product.
Despite reading the manual and following the instructions I still had a problem figuring out which blade was for long hair and which one was for short hair. I can be ditsy at times so it’s probably only me who would get confused but the blades themselves weren’t labeled and just looking at the illustration in the manual didn’t really help. As I said I can be a bit obtuse when it comes to mechanical things. I’d recommend that the no!no! manufacturer find a way to label the blades themselves – just a little product design tip 
Once I figured out which blade I needed to tackle the long hairs, I then started putting the no!no! together. The instructions for this part were thorough and I had the no!no setup in less than a minute. The no!no! uses direct power (no battery operation) and the on and off switch are directly on the power supply. With the power button switched to “on” there are no indicators/light signals to tell you the no!no! is ready for use – it just is.
My hairy pre-no!no! leg. I never realized how ugly my legs could look at such close range – scary.
I was apprehensive about applying the no!no! to my skin – bad memories of my teen years and the medieval hair removing torture device called the EpiLady – I hesitated for a bit and then just pressed down and got started.
The no!no! hair removal device doesn’t hurt and my fears of EpiLady hair-ripping pain were put to rest
According to the manual to effectively use the no!no! you need to “glide” – it’s a method that you quickly learn thanks to the no!no!’s signal light. The signal light will be a steady green when you’re working at the right speed and start to flicker when your timing is off. Within minutes I was comfortably gliding.
Using the no!no! is quite easy and the green signal light here shows that I’m gliding correctly.
As I glided the no!no! across the test areas on my leg I noticed the smell of hair being singed but no pain. There was a bit of discomfort when I stopped in one area for too long -it felt like being snapped with rubber bands – but that was operator error. Within five minutes I felt like a pro. The green light held steady and the hair was coming off.
Using the no!no! like a pro!
I also had stubble on my legs (hair still growing in from the last waxing) so I tried out the stubble hot blade and that worked just as well as the hot blade for long hair.I did have some difficulty getting at the hair on my knees. It’s going to take practice because gliding on round surfaces is a bit challenging. I will practice that technique over the next few days and will dutifully report back.
After removing the hair on the test section I noticed that my skin felt like it had one-day old stubble on it. That feeling didn’t last long once I started buffing (exfoliating) with the no!no! buffer pad. When I finished buffing the test section my skin was as soft as the skin of my five month old niece – just silky smooth.
Using the no!no! like a pro! Notice the areas cleared of hair by the no!no!.
The real test for the no!no! will be the reduction in hair density. Over the next eight weeks I will document my use and the results of the no!no! for permanent hair removal system.
The nono no!no! no!no! – available at Sephora.com

Posted a few weeks ago – have now had my no no for almost 2 months and am pretty happy with the results so far – definitely slower growth and with a razor my legs have not been this smooth in years. Not perfect – but much better than what it was. I’ve noticed that Sephora is still out of blades – I’ve signed up to get the email when they get their stock replenished. The product is really pretty useless without the blades and I can’t believe they’ve been out of stock since I bought the thing. You can get the blades directly from no no – I noticed that they added Canada and there now appears to be a euro store as well – but alas no free shipping like Sephora if you spend over $50. Website is http://www.my-no-no.com/nono-Accessories/nono-Accessories.asp. Also, Dillard’s also had some on their site still in stock http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&storeId=301&langId=-1&productId=501706968. I haven’t ordered from Dillards yet but may try them if Sephora doesn’t get them back in stock.

Thankyou everyone for your wonderful reviews! I brought the No!No! a week ago and did a patch test and left it for 3 days then did a full leg and bikini line run today.
I live in Australia, and the No!No! is fairly brand new here. I have very bad bad bad problems with ingrowns, and have very sensitive skin, and I am praying that this product does its job without giving me those horrible ingrown hairs.
I waxed for a year then had to stop. In my opinion, it was nothing more then a waste of time, money and I believe that it ruined my skin. I now get very bad ingrowns from any form of hair removal that never occurred before i tried waxing. There were nights when i couldn’t sleep for all the pain of the ingrowns covering my legs and bikini area (i used to get brazillians :S). Not to mention it was extremely taxing on my emotions.
I tried the depilatory creams, which only gave me chemical burn + ingrowns. And shaving, which i had to do WITH the direction of the hairgrown.. hence i still had prickles and still got a few ingrowns and razor bumps. Ive used Tend Skin, exfoliate like mad all the time, and make sure my skin is always moisturized to allow the hair to push through easily but to no avail.
I stopped all hair removal and went hairy for a while, just so my skin can repair a little.. and I’m still getting ingrowns coming through from the past…
In exactly 6 days I’m traveling overseas to meet a man I met on the internet a year and a half ago and whom i love and hope to spend the rest of my life with.. and so I’m desperate to find something that i can use that helps with reducing my hair but doesn’t give me ingrowns. I’m not looking for a miracle, I’m just looking for something that wont make my skin worse. Its very important to me that i get off that plane feeling like a million bucks.
I did the patch test and left it for 3 days. It grew back much much slower already then shaving, so far no ingrowns, but seems to have bald patches… I’m hoping these are not hairs that are going to stay under and become ingrown. So today i did the full lot. It did take me a while to master the slow glide, and i only did the long hair blade for those parts. I used the stubble blade in the patch test, but I’m fearful of cutting it too close due to past experiences. So I do have the stubble still, i can live with it, and the smell of the burning hairs wasn’t a factor at all for me. It’s just so much easier then all the creams and lotions I’ve spent so long rubbing over me in hopes to fix my skin. I’m hopeful. I’ve read every single review on this site.. several times.. and on others too. If after a few days I dont have ingrowns i will be so very happy.

I only trust clinics, and not home products. They are too weak to really make a difference, in my opinion

I hope my No No experience can help…I’ve been using my No No for a year now and use it about twice a week. (It’s not half as scary to use as you think, once you get going!) I have thick dark hair everywhere (or so it feels!) and the No No was my last chance saloon, except for laser treatment. I’ve found that where the hair is sparse, such as my feet or the small of my back, the No No has made it almost disappear, as long as I keep up with the treatments. Those areas feel a little stubbly, but I can’t see anything with the naked eye. Where the hair is thicker and coarser, such as on my legs, the hair seems much the same as it was before I started No No-ing, although I think a few bare patches may be emerging (hopefully that’s not wishful thinking!). The No No doesn’t ‘cut’ as close to the skin as shaving, so I have to shave my legs as well if they’re on public view! But I’m just glad to have less hairy legs than I did before, with no pain, no ingrowing hairs and no shaving rash. And I’m really pleased with my back and feet. Put it this way: if my No No broke, I’d buy another!

How many blades have You used since you started?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:07 pm
hey =]
i wondering if you could tell me if it does actually remove hair permanently and if so, after how many times of using the product? does it leaves patches of hair?
also, will the rays in the lazor, or whatever that is, damage your skin? because i know you can get skin cancer from some light rays? or does it leave your skin darker in some areas?
sorry about all the questions, i am just really curious, because i might purchase it. thnx in advance.

Have had mine for 8 months now – just had to order some new blades and noticed they’ve come out with a new model that supposedly does curves and narrow spots but at $220 not so sure – somehow the site says that one gets rid of 94% hair while the original only 64%??? I would like to see the hard evidence to support those claims. They already get you on the cost of the blades – you would think they could make the device itself cheaper. Overall – while it’s not perfect – I too would buy another one if mine broke. There is definitely some patchiness – the hair on the backs of my lower legs has responded the best so far – very sparse there. I would say maybe a 50% reduction on the rest of the leg but there’s still a lot there. The good thing is I have not had an ingrown hair in 8 months and I can go longer in between – which for me is not very long but still a relief. In 8 months I’ve gone through 6 5-packs of blades. As to the person that asked about darkening of skin – the no no works by burning the hair with heat not by laser/light so there are virtually no side effects except the smell of burning hair – I just use mine next to an open window and light a match after to get rid of the smell. You really do get used to it. Other than that, you do get stubble so you really do have to use a razor in between if you want to be really smooth. I’m going to continue. Will report back at the one year mark if this site is still up
