Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.

Hi,
I haven't posted on here much before and am a little nervous.
This is quite a personal one but I feel I could do with a man's opinion.
Here goes: I have a slightly hairy face :boohoo: this was never an issue until I went to see a beautician to get my eyebrows threaded and she asked me if I wanted my top lip done. I was slightly taken aback as never considered the hair on my top lip to be an issue. I had never thought anything of the light downy hair which resides under my button nose. I replied saying "No, I'm fine thanks"....To which she replied slowly "Are you sure?"
My question is...does a little bit of facial hair bother you gents? As a single lady, will this affect any future relationships I might have?
Should I consider electrolysis?
Do you like a tash on a lass?
Thanks in advance.
Define slightly hairy face.
Do people enquire if you are taking part in Movember ? 😮
Oh haha.
I just have a soft light blonde layer of hair on my face. More noticeable above my top lip when the light catches it.
I know some of my friends shave areas of their face, some wax and some get it threaded but I never considered it an issue until recently.
I just have to know whether or not it will prove to be a problem when getting back on the dating scene? Is a hairy face a deal breaker?
Lady,
Welcome to DAD.

You know what - all women have hair on their face. I would imagine, from how you have described it that it is not obvious and only you are really aware of it (ignore ms beautician).
Only you really know if you need electrolysis (I would guess the answer would be no).
I can't imagine how this would cause any issues with your future relationships unless you allow it to.

Thanks Gooner.
I appreciate the reassurance. I've just been up reading an article which says that eating large amounts of cake and biscuits can trigger excess hair!!!!!! Too many sugary snacks can create an insulin resistance and so the over production of insulin causes the ovaries to produce too much of the male hormone which is responsible for hair growth! This is tragic news.
I used to have a boyfriend who occasionally pulled on the longer hairs around my mouth which was quite irritating. Do you think I should be honest with a man on date 1 and let him know that it is a minor insecurity of mine?
Thanks again for the reply and the welcome.
Hi Lady,
We all have hair on our faces and its only the ladies with dark hair and complexions that have a problem. I have a soft fair down on my upper lip and on my cheeks that can only be seen very rarely in certain light. It's not noticeable and I'm sure if I was back on the dating scene it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to any prospective dates!
In my opinion the beautician only asked because its the trend these days. Once you start I think you would definitely regret it.
Men like their women to look natural I think and my advice would be to forget about it!
Frankly I find it arousing. Lady, just how bristly is this mustache?
I don't believe there are any bristles involved here....are you for real!
Well thanks Hair Lover (I guess ;;) )
But as Nanny said, no bristles here. It's just a light covering of hair over the "beardy" area of my face.
I just wondered whether this beard shaped downy covering might prove decremental in finding love.I think that if the right person came along and we really clicked it wouldn't matter. Or if they suggested I do something about it I think I would be comfortable to look into options of hair removal.
Thanks for the nice comments.

pmsl at that. 😀
Lady - it's only a problem if you think it is. I would certainly be honest to any boyfriend, but I can't see it should be something you need to worry about.
