HairFire: Electrolysis At It’s Hottest

I asked my friend, and laser hair technician, where she would go if she wanted to get her hair removed. She replied by saying, “the National Laser Institute med spa.”

I asked her why, and she told me it’s much cheaper when students perform the treatment. I’m all about saving money. But, my main concern was, “Could I trust these new students?”

I ask this because when I went to school, I really didn’t have the confidence and ability to know if I was treating properly. I found out later that we never had the current high enough, so a lot of our work was glorified tweezing! I feel bad about it, but I never knew how to really treat until I left school and worked on my own.

Anyway, she told me she trusts them because the instructor is there the whole time.

I decided to call them up. I found out that this student rate is available only 1 week a month. The rate for is $50 for the first area and $45 for the second area, if interested. I should have clarified, but it sounds like this is the going rate for all areas, not only underarms.

Then I asked my next question, “Would I be able to only have 1 underarm done at half the rate?” Of course I got the response, “Why would you want to do that!?”

I told her I am an Electrologist, and I would like to test one underarm with electrolysis and the other with laser.

She said that I could do 1 underarm, but it would be at the same rate.

Now I have some thinking to do. I never would have thought I’d have to pay full price for half the work. What should I do? Well, all I can think of at this time is to ask other laser clinics/med spas what they are willing to do for me. I’m all about comparison shopping!
