It’s odd that my vellus hair 10x magnifier at home client was scarred by her previous electrologist, yet all she can see is the hair. She continues to push me to use higher current and I refuse, pointing out the scabs and damage her previous electrologist caused when this was done. She started treatment only 9 weeks ago and is now raising concerns that something is wrong. I am certain this entire situation will “blow up” and of course I will be blamed for electrolysis “not working” (they always say that don’t they?). In the beginning I emphasized I could only “improve the situation” and given the size of the job did not make any promises regarding completion time frames/number of treatments etc. since the amount of hair was abundant and going into these cases you never know how a client’s objective will change … and many times it does. Sometimes they want you to back off and just remove the obvious hair and at other times they will change the original approach and have the electrologist remove everything possible. My client requested an increase in the treatment time so I could remove more hair, now she is complaining about the money she is spending. This is a no-win situation and I have no idea how it will end (probably not well). Let this and Michael Bono’s experience be a lesson to other electrologists that in some cases it is best to say “no.” Vellus hair and a 10x magnifier at home is a recipe for disaster.
