You have to email or call Texas Electrolysis Supply on the phone, or fax them for the book. Their web site is notoriously unrepresentative of what they really sell. I would guess that only 1/3 of what they sell is actually listed on the site.
It is hard to say how much time or money a pro (or DIY or Do Each Other) job will take, as one has to be able to know the number of hairs per square centimeter, in the treatment area, the number of hairs per minute the person doing the work can remove, and the regularity the treatments will occur. On a perfect schedule, 9 months would clear anything up, but most people don’t put in the time or frequency to acheive that, so 18 - 24 months is more the norm. After all, the practitioner can’t remove the hair, if the client doesn’t present the area for treatment. It is also not necessarily true that the most expensive practitioner will do the best and fastest work. Many times the best, and fastest work is done by someone in the middle of the price ranges.
As for NoHair’s comments, it seems that he is reading something into my words that are not there, saying that education in a field makes one surely come to a conclusion that one thing is good, another is better, and something else is best, is not saying one will surely fail. Would you argue as vigorously with me if I said that once one learns about cars and test drives them all, one will find that a Yugo is transportation, but any Pontiac is better, and a Lexus Hybrid is the best of the three cars mentioned here? That is not stating as fact that anyone who drives all three will no doubt buy a Lexus. It only means they will wish they had one even as they double clutch the 3 speed manual transmission on the Yugo that was purchased for financial reasons.
So to clear up this misunderstanding for anyone else who thinks like NoHair:
If one were married to a professional electrologist, one would not do self work (just as most professionals won’t do self work) and although one may wish one had a professional, one would understand the benefit of a friend, or electrolysis partner trading work with you so that the proper angles are achieved for the best work that can be done by those who have not been to electrolysis school, nor have professional equipment and finaly, some will just do it themselvess, while knowing that someone else, pro, or with no more skill than themselves would do more work in less time than someone doing a reverse insertion while looking in a mirror.
I said, “good, better, best,” not “impossible, worthless, only safe option available”
is this the best book to get?
