Anyone recommend a fast, efficient CPE in OC or LA, California?

Hi all,
It’s been awhile since I have been to this forum. I recently moved to southern california, and I am looking for a FAST and EFFICIENT CPE in Orange county or Los Angeles. Can anyone recommend someone for me?
I am a male who is looking to have my back,shoulders, and upper arms cleared. My last electrologist didn’t seem very quick (took well over 30 hours and $1200 to clear my back using blend, and my back isn’t all THAT hairy! I have since lapsed in my treatments, and virtually all the hair has grown back). so I’m looking for someone who can clear large areas fast. Thermolysis, flash-therm., or something of this nature would be ideal.
Where is the west coast version of Fino Gior?!

Hi there,

I’m getting confused!

If you had treatment on your back, wouldn’t this mean that the hair can’t grow back and what has grown is different hair to the one that was treated?

I think you would like Janice Bixler or her daughter Jamie in Fullerton. The phone # is (714)526-0313. I have used them on all parts of my body and they are good

What I mean is, my back is just as hairy now as it was prior to treatment. Now, whether this is hair from the same follicles, or completely new growth, I don’t know. I am not an expert. What I know about electrolysis, I have primarily learned here at Hairtell. I may have been undertreated, or it may just be new growth. In either case, I have determined that Electrolysis is the only acceptable hair removal method for me (don’t even get me started about laser), and I intend to begin a structured electrolysis program.

Thanks for the referral Barrester, I’ll give Ms. Bixler a call. Could you tell me what her hourly rate is? And what method does she use(flash,therm,blend,etc.)? Thanks a bunch!

Unless one was undertreated, one could only grow hairs from follicles that either were never treated, or have been recruited by the body to grow hair, where they never had before. Even in the case where the hair is undertreated, the hair that grows back will be thinner and weaker.

As for a West Coast Fino Gior, I doubt there is one. West Coasters are typically members of the Church of the Sacred Blenders, not the Church of the Divine Flashers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

It is a market thing as well as an educational thing. If you went to school in the West Coast, they frequently taught you Blend or Galvanic and glossed over Thermolysis. If you went to school in the East, they probably concentrated primarily on Thermolysis and glossed over Blend and Galvanic. As for customers, most people in the West are looking for Blend or Galvanic, so a Flasher would have to try to explain how their modality actually works. In the east, one would have to explain why your new epilator is not lip bittingly painful, but still provides full permanent hair removal.

Perhaps I can clear you out while I am visiting the west coast, if we are anywhere near being close to each other while I am there. I have plans on being in the LA and San Francisco areas.

Hi James,

 When do you plan on being in California? And what are your rates? Do you think it would be possible to clear me in the time you will be here? 

I need back,shoulders,upper arms(as stated in my original post). My back and shoulders have fairly sparse patches of hair, but my upper arms are significantly covered.
It would be great to have you work on me, as you are one of the most respected and well known presences here at Hairtell. You use Flash, right?

Question for smooth vs. hairy:

How old were you when you were treated on the back and how old are you now?
Was the back the only place you had treated the first time with your other electrologist?
Also, did you finish the treatment over a period of at least 9 months?

I can discuss with you in private my travel plans. I can’t say that we would get to first clearance on the entire area, but we would be able to get a significant amount of work done. Remember, you would have to have lots of time to devote to this as well.

Ok, here goes...I think a couple of you folks are getting hung up on an insignificant part of my original thread.

I had one complete clearance of my back one year ago(I am 31 years old now). After the initial clearance, because of events in my life which prevented my continuing treatment, I stopped getting the electro. As a result, hair of course grew back.
I am NOT saying that it was all the same treated hairs that grew back (although I do suspect that I was to some degree undertreated, and some of the new growth may have been re-growth), as we all know that electrolysis is permanent. We also know that hair grows in cycles. Because my back was cleared once, then ceased to be treated further, I now have as much hair now as I did prior to the original treatment.
The fact that I have hair on my back is a no-brainer…I stopped treatment after just one clearing. Should I still be left with LESS hair? I don’t know, it seems to be the same amount as before being treated. As I have said before, I’m no expert, I’m just speculating.
Whether or not I WAS in fact undertreated, isn’t a major concern for me. My major gripe was how LONG it took for my electrologist to clear the area, and how much money it cost me to clear what is in my opinion, a small amount of hair. She was slooooow.
Ultimately, my mentioning the amount of time and cost,as well as my preculation of how skilled or unskilled my former electrologist was , was just a bit of insight leading to the point of my thread, which was to ask if anyone knew a fast and efficient CPE worth recommending.
I wasn’t complaining about having experience further back growth (whether it be new or re-growth), thats to be expected when one discontinues treatment prematurely. I was merely trying to give some idea of my current situation. I hope this clears thinks up.

Ahh, that clears things up. I wasn’t sure what you were saying the first time, thanks for the clarification.
