GET THE MOST FROM YOUR APPOINTMENT
Drinking extra water two days before and the day of your appointment is the best way to ensure a comfortable and efficient appointment!
You can help prepare your skin before your treatment by moisturizing it with your usual product(s). Electrolysis's chemical reaction is based on the water content in your follicles, and having well-moisturized skin makes for a more comfortable treatment and less possibility of visible side effects afterward during the healing process.
Chronic cancellations and/or rescheduling of appointments disrupt business flow, even with 72-hour notice. Clients are asked to keep cancellations and/or reschedulings to a respectful minimum.
Most appointments are booked back to back, and your treatment time starts at the scheduled time. If you are running late, I will extend your treatment time if possible; otherwise, you will be charged the full amount for the time remaining on your appointment.
If you are a new client, please arrive a few minutes early to fill out a Client History Form on the clipboard on the side table in the waiting room. After the instructions are attached, they are yours to keep.
​
Taking Ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment is an easy way to help make for a more comfortable treatment.

The hair you want to treat needs to be long enough for me to epilate with tweezers after I treat the follicle. If the hair is on your chin, upper lip, cheek, or neck, 2 to 3 days of growth is usually long enough. If your hair is coarse and grows quickly, it may only need a day of growth. Generally, if the hair is long enough to feel with your fingers, it's long enough for your appointment. I use the hair as a guide to insert the probe into the follicle accurately, and I epilate the hair with my tweezers after treating the follicle.
If you have specific questions about your hair and how long it needs to be, please message me with your appointment request, email me, or call or text me.

If you are a new client to Laurelhurst Electrology
(even if you've had Electrolysis somewhere else),
the OHA (Oregon Health Authority) requires a consultation with your first visit.
When scheduling your appointment online, please also schedule a free 15-minute consultation with your chosen appointment time so we can go over the best treatment plan for you.
This is a great time to review any questions, even if you've had Electrolysis before.
($70 for the consultation is charged if 72-hour notice
for cancellations or changes is not given).
If booked, treatments are available directly after a consultation during the same visit.
If you're unsure how long to book your first appointment, a 30-minute treatment is a good place to begin. After your first appointment, I will recommend a personalized treatment time.
​​
Please note that 72 hours' notice is required for changes or cancellations,
and a fee of 75% of the scheduled treatment or a $70 fee for a consultation will be charged if proper notice is not given.
​
*if you are sick, you will not be charged for canceling/rescheduling, but you need to let me know ASAP

Cash, cards, Venmo, and Cash App are accepted.
