I don’t know if this is the proper way to recommend someone (maybe there is another forum or some master list), but I love my electrologists and while they’re plenty busy, I don’t see them recommended here and thought people should know about them.
If you live in the Berkeley/Oakland area and are looking for someone to see, try Lisa Bruce and Jeanne La Deaux at 510-527-2376. Lisa Bruce studios is on Marin Ave. in Albany (which is essentially Berkeley).
