Blondes and Redheads

I was told I can't have laser hair removal. Why is that?

Lasers are designed to target the melanin in the hair shaft. Even with advances in technology, they cannot see gray, white, red, or blonde hair.

Can I have electrolysis instead?

Absolutely! Electrolysis is effective on all hair colors and skin types. Blonde or red hair is no problem at all.

I can't even see some of the blonde hair that bothers me, but I feel it!

Blonde hair can be so very fine that it is almost impossible to see. Using lighting and magnification, we can see these hairs and treat them so long as they are at least long enough to grab with tweezers.

Red hair can be so wirey and thick. Is that a problem?

Not at all. It is treated just like any other hair.
