So, I’ve been to get my underarms done, I did about 4 treatments and the hair stayed gone for a few months and then I just didn’t go back, so it’s mostly all back now, although finer.  

I’m going to start up again.   I bought a groupon to my bikini area done, well, I’m probably going to get a brazilian with a small triangle left in the front.   My question here, is about hair colour.    My hair is medium blonde with lots of natural highlights, and the carpet matches the drapes… I’ve always heard laser hair doesn’t work too well on light hair, and some of it is pretty light, like, if I shave, you don’t see any darker dots where the hair has been cut off (like you might see on your legs, or whatever).   I’m just wondering if any other fair haired girls have sucessfully had laser hair treatments and if the hair has STAYED gone?

Well, I think the best combo is light skin with dark hair, since the laser targets the dark hair follicle.  For light skin with light hair they have to turn the intensity way up becaus the laser has a harder time differeciating between the colours, and I have no idea how it works with dark skin, lol
