To add on to previous answer:

Waxing
- cons: Can cause ingrown hairs and removes tan if you don't moisturise

Shaving
- cons: If you're dark you can still see the cut hair under the skin which could cause ingrown hairs

Delipatory
- cons: Can burn legs

Tweezing
- cons: Hairs actually grow back a lot quicker than waxing

Epilators
- pros: Like a big row of tweezers, like eyebrow tweezers but for legs, last a week etc
- cons: painful, takes forever, prone to ingrown hairs, can't use on sensitive skin, misses some hair

Electrolysis
- pros: Long lasting results
- cons: Painful, expensive, chance of reaction/infection, time consuming

Laser hair removal/Photo epilation/Pulsed Laser
- Pros: Most effective, Hair reduction and some people have complete permanent hair removal, doesn't hurt a lot
- Cons: Expensive, Up to 6 treatments needed

hey

waxing
- pros: the hair comes out from the root, so it doesn't grow back as quickly. it can be done to any part of the body including upperlip, eyebrows, and bikini area unlike threading & tweezing.
- cons: it can be painful

shaving
- pros: it's fast & easy, and can be done everyday
- cons: hair comes back quickly because the hair only gets taken off the surface of the skin, not under the skin like waxing, threading, and tweezing.

threading
- pros: your eyebrows can be shaped unlike with waxing and tweezing. it's like, the fast version of tweezing. it takes a while for hair to grow back because the hair is pulled from the root.
- cons: it can be painful & can only be done to the eyebrows.

delipatory
- pros: it's not painful
- cons: it grows back slower than shaving but faster than waxing / threading.

tweezing
- pros: you can get small hairs on your eyebrows that waxing & obviously shaving can't.
- cons: it's really really slow.
