We have been specializing  in clearing areas for pre-op gender affirming surgeries since the early 90’s.

When you schedule a free consultation with us we will help you decide the most permanent cost effective solution whether it be electrolysis, laser hair removal, or a combination of both. We know the urgency many have when it comes to hair removal which is why we offer long sessions for clearing large areas as well as ‘double team’ sessions for clients who need electrolysis in multiple areas. “Double team” allows our clients to have 2 hours worth of work done in an hour with 2 techs working in different areas at the same time.  We have been in business since 1982 and are proudly family owned and operated by women.
