    If you don’t want to deal with it at all forever, you might want to look into electrolysis/laser hair removal. Depending on coupons and providers in your area as well as the type of hair you have, that might be the cheapest option, but it’s permanent/semi permanent, so it’s not a good option if you suspect you’ll want to have facial hair later in life. It can range from $250-$2500 total, so it’s also a very hit or miss thing.
