A string manipulating mechanism has a first tensioned string and a second roller string having several turns thereof coiled about a central portion of the first string. An oscillator mechanism see-saws the ends of the second string, causing the coiled turns to form an interaction zone that advances and recedes along the tensioned first string, while simultaneously twisting the first string to and fro. In use, application of the oscillating and twisting strings to the skin of a subject entrains hairs of the subject about the tensioned string, simultaneously plucking out and discarding the plucked hair as the interaction zone of the meshing strings oscillates to and fro on the main axis of the first string. An alternative embodiment comprises a pair of endless string loops continuously driven in uni-directional intermeshing relation.
