Report
When I finally decided to do something about the hair on my face I did my research: Diane Curtis has the greatest amount of experience of all the practitioners in the area and it shows in the results she gets. She can clear the most hair in the shortest time and with a process that is somewhat painful (sorry girls, permanent loss requires sacrifice) shorter is definitely what we want. I had attempted laser hair removal but after spending both money and time I found the hair growing back. And, in my opinion, hair on ones face is just like pregnancy: even a little still qualifies. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal solution. This is one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself and I'm lucky to have found an electrologist this good. You will not be disappointed with the results.

Report
Diane is amazing. I have seen multiple electrolysis professionals in the past and Diane is by far the top. She is very thorough and takes the time to explain the entire process as well as after care. I had minimal swelling thanks to her pre and post care regimen. I would strongly recommend seeing her if you are considering hair removal. She's simply the best!
