ABSTRACT:
A hair removal apparatus includes a housing that has a front wall, a back wall and a peripheral wall. The front wall has an aperture extending therethrough. A pair of spools is rotatably mounted in the housing. Biasing members rotationally bias the spools in opposite directions with respect to each other. A first tether is wound around a first of the spools and a second tether is wound around a second of the spools. The first and second tethers are wound about each other to form loops positioned adjacent to the apertures. The biasing members pull the tethers taut. A drive assembly mechanically coupled to the first and second spools selectively moves the first and second spools. The loops twist with respect to each other when the first and second spools are move in the first and second directions. The loops engage and remove hair attached to skin.
