Have you considered laser hair removal? I also have fair skin and dark hair (so I've had similar problems) and I just learned a few months ago that the combination of light skin and dark hair makes you a prime candidate for laser hair removal. I found that several companies sell hair removal systems for home use that are FDA approved. The systems don't use lasers per se, but high intensity pulsed light. The light energy is absorbed by melanin in each hair, which warms up the hair and destroys the follicle so it doesn't produce any new hair. In a few weeks, the hair falls out and doesn't grow back again.
I ended up buying the Remington system off of eBay for around $110 and a new bulb cartridge off Amazon for $15. I've seen great results so far. I've used it on my calves twice and I have much less hair growth -- there are a few places were no hair grows at all and the hair that remains is thinner and grows slower (the hair follicle is likely already dead, but it's just taking awhile for the hair to get pushed out). I've also used it on my underarms and there's much less hair. I was somewhat skeptical at first, but I'm very happy with the results. According to the instructions, you need three hair removal sessions spaced two weeks apart to see the full results. I started my third session last night but the bulb died so I just ordered a new one for $18. The way things are going though, I think three sessions will be enough.
I had no idea that home hair removal was a thing until a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd share. I estimate I'll spend about $150 overall, which is well worth it.
I have the Remington Ilight.
Sure, ask away.
We purchased one of these and so far it is working great for us.
They say it gets ride of hair for several months, but it looks like that is just the length they have proven to the FDA.
You will have to retreat after ~6 months when the next "phase" (not sure of correct word) of hair follicles comes out of their dormant period, however it seems that you just have to treat each "phase" with one series of treatments.
Even if we had to retreat a couple of times a year it goes really fast, and the cartridges are cheap.
TLDR; If you have the right skin/hair tone, well worth the $250, at least for us.
Any idea how it compares to this: http://amzn.to/1dF67m8 ?
Show her this. There are several things like it. May be worth shopping for longer lasting or permanent hair removal.
https://www.amazon.com/Remington-iLIGHT-Hair-Removal-System/dp/B005CHHO46 for non permanent results that lasts about 3 months if you stop zapping.

Have no idea about whether there is health risks or not.
