A Review of the Emjoi Tweeze as Seen on TV: It Really Works!

When I first saw the ads for the Tweeze (pronouced like a combination of the words “tweeze” and “easy”), I did not believe this little device could actually work. Easy to use battery operated tweezers that do all the work of tweezing for you? It sounded too good to be true.

Like most women, I suffer from occasional stray hairs. You know, those annoying hairs on your face that are either too thick or too long to just blend in. They are digusting. Of course they have to go. Tweezing can take forever, but in the end, it always worked for me. Waxing only sometimes worked and I hadn’t had luck with creams. Yet I was still willing to try something else even if it was a TV product. I’m no stranger to buying things I see on TV. I’ve bought several kitchen gadgets. Some work almost as well as the people on TV say they do. With others you wonder what exactly the person on TV was playing around with, because it obviously wasn’t what you bought.

Being the skeptical person that I am, I had to prove the commercials wrong and try one of these Tweezes. The commercial claims that the Tweeze directs your unwanted hair towards the part that pulls the hair out. It also shows women removing hair with the Tweeze just as fast as an electric razor would shave off that hair. When I watched these commercials I did not even believe the Tweeze would be able to pull out a hair, much less find the hair easily and remove it quickly. I was about to be proven wrong.

After receiving my Tweeze, I was impressed with the sleek design. Then I put the batteries in and prepared for disappointment as I went for a chin hair. To my surprise, I quickly felt the hair being plucked out. Along with that hair, the Tweeze found a second hair right next to it and removed that as well. I didn’t even have to search for the hairs, this thing found all the problem hairs on its own. It even found hairs that I didn’t even know were problems. Soon I was very impressed.

As with all products, there are some drawbacks to this wonderful hair pulling machine. The Tweeze is hard to control if you’re using it to pluck your eyebrows. Okay, so even the manufacturer doesn’t recommend using this on eyebrows, but it would be nice if it was controllable enough for using on detailed eyebrow work. That would save a lot of time if I could do my eyebrows with the Tweeze as well.

Since the Tweeze practically has a mind of its own when it is tweezing, it’s better to leave precision tweezing to the good old fashioned tweezers. The Tweeze is also rather painful if you use it on certain areas, such as the upper lip. For this reason, I would still recommend waxing the moustache area unless you just love the feel of pain. If you have unwanted hair anywhere else on your face besides your eyebrows and upper lip, this product is great for that.

Overall, I would have to say that I recommend the Tweeze. It saves me a lot of time and is very effective.
