I am not an electrologist but I am getting electrolysis myself. If you feel very uncomfortable being treated by a man, then ofcourse you have the right to ask if it is possible to only be treated by the women! It is very likely that you arent the first woman to ask them this. So just ask!
Of course! If you explain how you feel, then they should accommodate you! Do not feel apologetic about requesting this. There are some female electrologists that will not work on mens’s private area. It works both ways and we need to respect one another.
As an owner of a clinic with male and female operators, it is normal for a person to request a female or male to do the treatment. You don’t owe an explanation - when you make the booking just add, with a female operator only. It would then be noted on your file.
Since most schools (Institute?) that teach electrolysis have only a one or two students, you may find that it’s hard to get an appointment if you only want to see a woman. Today I graduated from the electrolysis program at my school, and now there is only one student - a man. He is smart, talented and you have the right to say no, you don’t want to see him. However, the rates at our school are about 1/3 of the going rate in our area. At a school, the students are under the supervision of a seasoned professional,so you won’t be left alone with him for long. Good luck!
