Personally I just put my hands in a bowl of dried coffee grounds, it absorbs most of the smell. But I also use that for a lot of other stuff (gardening, washing dishes, body scrubs, etc), and I guess it's kind of an effort to save your coffee grounds just for that reason.

You're supposed to soak the onion in cold water for like 10 minutes, then chop it tear-free. Once you're done you use cold water on your hands and then warm water with soap. You can also spray your hands with white vinegar and then wash hands. either way works.
