The Emjoi Tweeze (or officially the Emjoi AP 9T tweeze tweezer) is the baby of the Emjoi epilator range. It is a small epilator that runs on batteries and works (in theory at least) on one hair at a time. You run it in a circular motion over your unwanted hair and it traps the hairs and plucks them out one at a time as it goes. As the hair is removed from the root it does not grow back as quickly as it would if you shaved or used a depilatory cream, both of which cut hair off at the surface.
Like any method which pulls hair from the root it can be painful and by dealing with one hair at a time you can prolong the agony a bit but one hair at a time may be all you can live with especially if you use it (as most people do) as a precision epilator for your face.

I have to say I am very fond of my usual epilator, which I have had for years – it keeps my legs smooth all year round no trouble at all but I would never put it anywhere near my face as it is both too big and I got rid of any facial hair a long time ago with electrolysis. But I can see the advantages of having a mini version of the hair plucker machine if you want to deal with your unwanted facial hair like that and Emjoi epilators are well respected in the industry. Just don’t buy an Emjoi tweerzer contraption for your legs as you will take forever and a day to go over them.
The Emjoi Tweeze reviews I have seen are a mixed bunch. They range from those who are very happy with the product and would hate to be without it and those who think it is a waste of time and you might as well pluck with tweezers. It has to be said that is usually the way with hair removal products because there are so many differences in hair toughness and pain threshold as well as differing expectations. I do think this is a particularly good device if you struggle to grasp the odd hair on your face with tweezers. It can be very tricky to grasp the little devils especially if you have poor eyesight.
Rather than regurgitate all the reviews here I’ll send you to where you can see over 100 of them in one place and make up your own mind based on your own requirements. There are also quite a few tips there about how to make the most of your Tweeze epilator should you buy one. My view is that if your budget is not too limited and you’re not ready to opt for electrolysis it’s probably worth trying this or the REM Spring facial hair remover we talked about already (or both) to see how you get on because you might find your answer with them for just a few dollars.
