A hair removal device having a plurality of springs mounted on a rotary head and arranged to open and close during rotation, to trap and pluck skin hair over a relatively wide area. In a preferred embodiment, the rotary head multi-spring design is provided as a hand-held, motor-powered depilatory device having a plurality of compression coil springs each mounted in one of a set of tweezers. Each coil spring is operated by one of the tweezers, with the set of tweezers mounted in the rotary head so that at one tweezer end, the coil spring faces the skin and at the other tweezer end, a set of rollers contact a circular cam. During rotation of the rotary head, the rollers and cam arrangement cause each tweezer to alternately close and open, actuating the spring which traps hairs between it loops. The hair is plucked upon continued rotation of the rotor, and is released when the tweezer opens, and the next hair is trapped, etc.
