We’ve Always Been Trans Friendly

Electrolysis by Janice has a long history of serving the transgender community, and currently maintains a diverse transgender clientele. We honor and cherish our transgender clients, and have enjoyed many rewarding friendships. We offer a safe, welcome atmosphere in which confidence grows, accomplishments are achieved and enjoyed, and new lives begin. The experience we have gained in the process has been deeply rewarding, and has proven invaluable. We are aware of what you are trying to accomplish, and are focused on helping you to achieve that goal. We know that permanent hair removal is a very important part of your process. We understand the commitment necessary to make a gender transition, and we take it as seriously as you do.

It is important to ensure that your electrolysis treatments occur at the right point in your process, and in a manner that works in concert with your health and long-term goals. With that in mind, please remember –

  • Hair should be approximately 1/8 inch in length (average 2 days growth) for electrolysis.
  • You can shave between treatments, but please be mindful of the amount of time necessary to grow sufficient length before your next treatment.
  • It takes approximately 18 to 24 months to clear facial hair.
  • It takes approximately 18 months to clear a surgical site. This must be done before surgery can take place.

A note on pre-surgical protocols… Janice has attended in-person, pre-surgical consultations with a leading surgeon in the field of gender confirmation. What she learned gave her a clear understanding of what pre-surgical electrolysis requirements are, and why it is so important they be strictly adhered to. Please bear in mind the importance of allowing sufficient time prior to surgery in order to complete genital hair removal and prevent future internal ingrown hairs.

We are now accepting Kaiser Permanente! We are also a great referral source of MDs, cosmetologists, estheticians, massage therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Please don’t hesitate to ask.
