Tired of shaving all the time, I hear you either want laser or electrolysis. My area only has 2 electrolysis places and one isn't accepting clients right now, the other looks like it is based out of a sketchy house. Do I commute an hour to another town or go to a mainstream laser location? What is better, what do I need to know?

Thanks, It is something I keep putting off for fear of talking to the local professionals about consultation. Literally ghosted one shop because I was scared to call back, actually tried to get a consult at one of the electrolysis places because they explicitly listed trans services on the website... but they are the ones not accepting new clients right now.

Hair removal is hair removal, there's no need for "trans services". You're not obligated to out yourself to the professionals.

One bit of laser advice: do ask the person doing it to use more power!
