A hair removing apparatus ( ) comprising two co-operating hair processing members ( ), formed by plate-shaped carriers and movable relatively to each other in a direction of movement (X). The two carriers are positioned with respect to each other, viewed in a Z direction substantially perpendicular to the carriers, by a plurality of positioning members ( ), which are spaced apart in the direction of movement. At least one of the two carriers has a comparatively low bending stiffness. As a result, a comparatively small and uniform gap is present between the two carriers, and the friction force acting on the carriers in a direction parallel to the direction of movement is also comparatively small. In one embodiment the positioning members ( ) each have an S-shaped or C-shaped tongue ( ), which is provided on a third carrier ( ), the first and second carriers ( ) being enclosed between the third carrier and contact elements ( ) of the tongues.
