There are not a lot of electrolysis places to choose from in Anchorage. I had found great reviews…read moreon this place and tried it out for the course of almost a year to a year. It's done out of a townhouse in a residential neighborhood. I do not know if Sue owns both sides, I never asked. I went here about once a month, maybe a little longer in between visits as I was told just come when I can after asking frequency. I now know with my new electrolysis person that you should be coming every 2-3 weeks to get the job done and to keep up with hair growth during active cycles. When you enter there is typically classical music playing and a couch for you to sit on and wait. If she is with someone upstairs she will come get you when she's done. It did seem odd it was out of a house, but there are a lot of home businesses. It did not seem unclean to me. Upstairs you go in a room and it looks like a lawn chair covered in blankets and a towel. I felt a little odd about this, but still proceeded since I was so desperate for hair removal. On my first consult Sue did let me feel what it was like just so I got an idea. That was nice, since it was an unknown. She was always friendly and chatty with me, which was nice. My only complaint was she would drink coffee during the sessions so I had to deal with coffee breath. I now know that you should let the hair grow 4-6 days before electrolysis to actually see the root and how the probe needs to go in. With Sue I would just let it grow for a day and go and I don't know if that was the problem or not, but she never said anything about it. I felt the probe go in, but then it felt like she was plucking them out. A properly treated follicle should just have the hair slide out and no tugging from plucking. All in all I never saw results. The plus was she was friendly, the cheapest in town, open Saturday and always could squeeze you in, but I just didn't have results.

I have been seeing her for a couple months for a round of laser hair removal and she does a fabulous job. She is funny, bubbly and makes me feel super comfortable, which I think means a lot when you genuinely like the person wielding the laser gun that is inflicting you with pain. The ambiance of Alaska Body Aesthetics is pretty nice too. Although, I'm usually in and out of there within 20 minutes. Just enough time to swing in on my lunch break! The rest of the staff at Alaska Body Aesthetics are very friendly and helpful.

We booked a couple weeks in advance and ended up going on Sunday, rather than Saturday, like we wanted. Oddly enough, they're closed on Saturday. We arrived early for our appointments and were quickly greeted, given forms and asked to use slippers. Within a few minutes, I was taken in for my massage and my friend to her facial. The rooms are lovely, and the spa itself is quite small. Fully functional and they're making great use of the space, but definitely small. My massage was awesome... deep tissue, which is my preference! She worked some magic indeed! When doing more than one treatment, you change into a robe. They have a lidded basket for your belongings and it's taken to your next room with you. I relaxed in one of the pedicure chairs drinking cucumber water while I waited for my facial. Rooms were changed out quickly and the aesthetician took me into her room. She did a great job, however was a little heavy handed a couple times and really spoke too quickly in the beginning, coming across as extremely rushed. As a medical aesthetician myself, it seemed a bit odd, since it didn't come across as calming, which is generally a goal. I kept my credentials to myself, because I personally like to see how services are provided and preformed when they don't know. When all was said and done, I was quite relaxed and we were both very happy with the experience overall. So much more than the local spa we went to last year... to the point that my friend didn't even remember where we went. I guess you know it's less than mediocre when you've blocked it from your memory. As I sat in the entry putting on my shoes, we wondered what they do with the slippers, hoping they're not put on the rack for someone else to wear... moments later a gal comes out with antibacterial wipes, wipes them clean and puts them away. Nice to know! We both agreed, we will definitely be back!
