Finding an effective hair removal method that works is something that I have battled with for years. I had tried everything from hair removal creams to laser treatments and nothing was effective or permanent. I can empathise with anyone who has had a similar battle as it really effected my self-esteem and confidence over the years. This is one of the reasons why I decided to go into electrolysis as it is the only permanent hair removal method, and it really works! I hope my experience and skill can help others in getting permanent results while at the same time saving you money in the long-term.

​While for some people laser treatment can be effective, it is often only a short-term solution as the hairs can grow back at a later point. Additionally, lighter hairs cannot be treated by laser whereas electrolysis can treat all hair types.

Why not give electrolysis a go? Come along for a consultation and have a mini taster session and see the results for yourself.

I am a fully certified and insured member of the British Institute and Association of Electrolysis, which is the only professional body in the Aesthetics Industry that has a separate entry exam and that requires its members to complete annual Continuous Professional Development training. I have a lovely relaxing treatment room at my home based in Hockley, Essex. There is also plenty of free parking available to make your appointment as smooth and relaxed as possible. I look forward to meeting and helping you on your hair removal journey!
