Try this...its only about $5 you basically warm it up in your hands by rubbing then you open the strips and apply and pull...it also brings a cooling liquid to apply after

I would just tweeze them, you have more control and don't have to deal with wax

You can use wax strips, available at Wal-Mart and such. Each brand has a different way of doing it so I can't tell you what you specifically have to do. Also if you don't want to go buy wax, you can always pluck them with a tweezer. And if you want a full diy there's a sugar wax you can make to remove unwanted hair (Just look it up on YouTube/Google. I am not sure if the wax is safe for the face so please do some research before you do it!) :)

As a waxing tech I cringe at the thought of DIY wax strips but they're definitely available at the drug store. Warm the wax per the directions, apply in the direction of the hair growth (between the brows the hair grows upwards) so you will be rubbing it in an upwards motion towards your forehead for a few seconds and then rip, when ripping be sure to use one hand to pull the skin tight and be quick, pull parallel to your strip (it should basically fold over itself not be pulled upwards, you're pulling in the exact opposite direction of the hair growth so down towards your nose and you want to make sure your strip stays down towards your nose) before hand you also want to be sure to properly prep the skin to avoid any lifting, which would be even more likely since you are doing this yourself so you wanna take extra precautions. Cleanse the skin completely to get rid of any excess oil, apply a small layer of cornstarch to the area with a cotton pad and then you can apply your strip. This will provide a barrier between the wax and your skin.

I don't think they are going to care because you seem to have light hair and stuff. Besides, there are people who wax faces and people who wax, well , not faces. So I doubt a little facial hair will scare them. Besides, the techs that wax go to school for it and train and know exactly what they're doing. Diy is not always smart.
Side note the Sally Hansen strips are not my favorite. I didn't think they worked at all.

I understand that. She said because she is a little hairy she didn't want to go. I was just trying to express that that is their job I don't think they will mind.

I use the Sally Hansen ones Tessandra posted the pic of. They can be cut and warmed between your hands plus they come with an oil for after. Easy and pretty foolproof really:)

Why not just pluck the hairs? Its not a very big area,plucking would take 15 minutes max. I'm saying this because I once accidentaly overwaxed,and got really wide set eyebrows,not a good look at all imo... With tweezers you have control on every piece of hair you wanna remove,but with wax you have to be really careful and detailed.

You can use wax strip made for the face. But, honestly, I would just tweeze. That's what I do and it offers so much more control then wax strips.
