Does there often seem to be a stray hair on your face when you catch your reflection in your car mirror, even though you checked just before you left the house? Sometimes you see a long hair on your chin or neck, and wonder how it could have grown that long without you noticing it until now!
Having a trusting relationship with your electrologist ensures that they can be an ally that discretely helps you find - and get rid of - those pesky hairs that seem to disappear whenever you try to find them, along with your overall treatments. But how do you build that kind of trust?
First, ensure you can have a meet-and-greet before starting treatments. Learn about their certifications, experience and ongoing training. Hearing them explain the electrolysis process and what to expect during treatments can give you insight to their communication style and give you an indication as to whether you can build trust together.
Second - ask questions! You should feel comfortable asking about the technology they use, the potential side effects of the treatment, and any other questions that you may have before your first treatment. A great electrologist will also educate you on proper skincare before and after your treatments, helping you understand how to maximize results and minimize any discomfort or side effects.
Your electrologist should take the time to assess your specific situation, including your skin type, hair type, and the areas you want treated. Here’s where you can let them know that they are welcome to point out any random thick or long hairs on your chin or neck, for example, that they would suggest they remove for you.
Electrolysis can involve treating sensitive areas of the body, so it's crucial that you feel comfortable with your electrologist. They should create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel at ease discussing your concerns and needs. Trust is paramount in this relationship - you should feel confident in their skills and their commitment to your well-being.
A positive relationship is built on professional expertise, clear communication, comfort, trust, privacy, and consistency. That earned trust is a two-way street, and your electrologist wants to feel that they can mention any stray hairs without you feeling uncomfortable.
Often times what we think is an area of fine hair or peach fuzz actually has thick follicles that pop up randomly. Sometimes we can’t even feel them ourselves due to the sensitivity levels in our fingertips which lessens as we age, even though they are a different texture. Your electrologist wants to be able to gently point them out without you feeling embarrassed. Remember, they are your trusted advisor on hair removal! You should both feel comfortable discussing all aspects of your treatment, including discovery of rogue hairs.
Your electrologist has your best interests at heart and wants to help you with your hair removal journey so you feel - and look - wonderful!
