Auntie Claire's

Auntie Claire's is an electrolysis business in Portland that has operated since 2016. It offers permanent hair removal from a studio at 1430 Water Avenue, Suite 206.

Electrolysis works by inserting a very fine probe about the width of a hair into the follicle, then using electrical current and radio frequency to destroy the hair root. The business describes electrolysis as the only truly permanent hair removal method available and states that its electrolysis technology is FDA approved.

A visit usually starts with a free 20-minute consultation to talk through the process and the client's goals, look at the hair in question, and receive estimates. Sessions are priced at $30 for 15 minutes, $60 for 30 minutes, or $120 for one hour, and sessions of one hour or shorter can be booked online. When the schedule is full, clients can join a waitlist by emailing the business.

The business describes itself as friendly and judgement-free, and it welcomes people of all genders. Cancellation fees depend on notice: no fee for cancellations a week or more ahead, 50% for cancellations 3 to 6 days ahead, and 100% for no-shows or cancellations within 3 days, with a minimum $25 fee for cancellations with 6 days or less notice.
