An epilating device () has a housing () defining a handle () and first and second shoulder portions () forming an open jaw (). A tweezer portion () is mounted in the jaw () for rotation about its axis such that an opening () is formed through the device () from a front side () of the housing () to a rear side () of the housing (), the opening () being bounded by the handle (), the shoulder portions () and the tweezer portion (). A drive mechanism () located within the housing () is arranged to apply rotational motion to rotate the tweezer portion () about the axis. By providing an opening () through the housing () of the epilator () from the front () to the rear side (), collection of hair and debris beneath the tweezer portion () is avoided.
