BARELY HAIR
PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL
Are Electrologists Licensed in Texas?
No. Texas does not currently regulate or license electrologists. There is no state-issued electrology license in Texas.
Because there is no licensing requirement, it is important for consumers to ask about an electrologist's training, experience, sanitation procedures, and years in practice before beginning treatment.
At Barely Hair, we believe in complete transparency and are always happy to answer questions about our training, experience, and treatment process.
How do I choose an Electrologist?
Choosing an electrologist is an important decision. Because Texas does not currently license electrologists, we encourage prospective clients to consider the following:
• Years of experience
• Professional training and mentorship
• Sanitation and infection-control procedures
• Client reviews and testimonials
• Consultation process and treatment planning
• Quality of equipment used
An experienced electrologist should be able to explain the treatment process, provide realistic expectations, and answer your questions with confidence.
At Barely Hair, we welcome questions and believe educated clients make confident decisions.
Is Electrolysis Permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis is recognized as the only method of permanent hair removal.
Unlike temporary methods such as shaving, waxing, threading, and depilatory creams, electrolysis permanently destroys the hair growth cells responsible for producing hair.
Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple treatments are required to successfully treat all follicles in a given area. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person based on factors such as hair density, hormones, genetics, and treatment consistency.
What Is the Difference Between Electrolysis and Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, while electrolysis provides permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis works on all skin tones and all hair colors, including blonde, gray, white, and red hair. Laser hair removal is often less effective on lighter hair colors because it relies on pigment within the hair follicle.
Many clients choose electrolysis to permanently eliminate the remaining hair that laser treatments could not successfully remove.
Can Electrolysis Remove Blonde, Gray, White, and Red Hair?
Yes. Electrolysis is effective on all hair colors and all skin tones. Unlike laser hair removal, which relies on pigment within the hair follicle, electrolysis can permanently remove blonde, gray, white, and red hair.
