I found Amy almost a year ago after a bad experience with an electrologist who had a home office. The other woman's practice had more reviews, but it turned out to be an unclean, painful (literally!) experience. My experiences with Amy have been nothing but over-the-top positive, and I will never look elsewhere!
I had been treating my underarms for about a year before I moved to Denver, and was at the point where I only needed to come in every few weeks to catch the stragglers. The first time I saw her, I scheduled a 75 minute appointment, which is about how long it took my previous electrologist to clear the remaining hairs on both underarms. Amy finished in 30 minutes, and only charged me for that time! Even more amazing is how little it hurt compared to every other time I've had it done (more than 20x with 3 other providers)! I could hardly feel it, and it was still effective, and far quicker. I'm still in disbelief! She has state of the art equipment, and it definitely shows!
She is board certified (Did you know that is NOT a requirement in Colorado? That's scary), and has a lot of experience in different hair removal modalities. I used to wear headphones when I was being treated at my previous studios, but I actually enjoy conversing with Amy, and it helps the time fly by. She remembers details of my life and asks me how my vacations or mountain bike rides, etc. were. She feels like a friend, while still being completely professional. Her new office is just as clean as you'd expect to see at a salon or even a doctor's office. I'm excited to see how it grows since she has ventured out on her own. The online scheduling is easy, and practically a must for me with my busy schedule. Furthermore, she has very flexible hours to accommodate the various schedules of today's lives.
The process is (relatively) so quick and easy now that I decided to get my bikini area done as well. I can now get my bikini line and underarms completely cleared in a 40-minute appointment. I still can't believe it, and am very happy with the results. A friend recently saw her for some hairs on her face that are popping up as she's getting older. She shared all of my sentiments, and is already booking her next appointment!
And if you're considering electrolysis for the first time, some background information on me is that I have naturally red hair, but with darker hair on my underarms. Unfortunately, I had been through two 6-round LASER hair removal treatments that were mostly ineffective for me. If you have lighter hair that doesn't respond to other treatment methods, electrolysis WILL work. And unlike LASER, where my friends say they have to go back for touch ups every year or so, this is permanent. read more
