ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep have you tried Veet? i've never actually used it, but i've had friends who thought it was the most awesome thing ever. i'm pretty surprised that back/chest waxing aren't more readily available. the suggestion to find out who body builders go to is a good one, though i think a lot of amateurs take care of it themselves. A lot of the chemical solutions can cause skin reactions and you might not want to use them around the genital area (tried that once - nasty nasty nasty) and especially not around the anus, too risky. With shaving and chemical hair removal you get pretty nasty stubble, with waxing the hair gets torn out by the root, over time you grow less and less hair, it simply becomes a lot sparser, finer and silkier, not an expert but my guess would be that the hair follicle being torn out weakens and stunts the growth... The reason why I mentioned body builders is that when they are competing, they all have to be smooth (the Brazilian rain forest peeking out from under posing pouches doesn't get them points), so they are very very likely to know places that do complete hair removal. When I moved here, I couldn't find a salon that does "everything below the neck", quite a few told me rather prudishly that they won't do anything that requires removing underwear. Since I hate the stubble from shaving, I was in a bit of a jam, you don't want to wax your arm pits and your genital area yourself, doesn't work (found out by painful trial and error), so I simply asked one of the guys who was training for a body building competition and he pointed me towards a place where they don't mind waxing it all off.
