I ventured here for the first time a few years ago. After visiting a laser place and being warned that electrolysis can cause dark spots on ethnic skin.
The owner / electrologist, Cheryl, was very warm, friendly and patient when it came to explaining the process and answering my questions. She is extremely knowledgeable about not just electrolysis, it seems, but also the biology of skin and hair. She answered tons of questions over the phone - then scheduled a consultation during which time she actually used the electrology tool on my wrist to show me what the actual sensation feels like. The prices were very affordable - especially compared to laser hair removal.
Now that I've tried waxing - I have to say I'm a big fan of both - though electrolysis results definitely last longer - in fact my Google research (and Cheryl confirmed) indicate that electrolysis is the only way to PERMANENTLY remove hair.
UPDATE BASED ON ALL THE PRIVATE MESSAGES WITH QUESTIONS -
I deducted a star because scheduling can pretty difficult (as in leaving voicemails and lots of texting back and forth - though admittedly my tight schedule adds to this) and she does NOT except electronic payments. read more
