I am a Southern California resident in the process of electrolysis. Orange County to be precise. I have been going to my gal for, um, 3-4 months now. I have noticed the little hairs under my lip (my soul patch if you would) have actually gotten longer, yikes! I have also begun to notice (by peeking out from under the little eye protector) that she is plucking/tweezing some on my hairs and not using the probe or the blending pen. But what really got me nervous- I once saw her dig out dirt from under her finger nails using the tweezers :sick: that act alone has me concerned!! I am now on the hunt for a new electrolysis, I am HOPING someone can refer me to a great electrolysist!!!
There are many good professional electrologists in Orange County. Use the search function here on hair tell. Names have been listed and mentioned many times.
Wow…that’s absolutely absurd. I would never go back to that electrologist if I were you.
I’m sort of curious, why does she have you wearing eye protectors for electrolysis? This is normal protocol when receiving laser treatments, but not electrolysis. Not that I know of at least.
The blinders are normal if the person is using a circle light, or a swan neck halogen. Trust me, if the swan neck halogen is employed, the blinders are a necessity. Fiber optic halogen set ups, on the other hand concentrate the light on the treatment area, and save the eyes of the client.
