Bare Essence Electrolysis

Bare Essence Electrolysis is run by its founder, Kendra Johnson, a licensed electrologist. The practice is located in suite 300 at 8081 Stanton Avenue in Buena Park and welcomes clients from throughout Southern California.

Electrolysis is the main service here. According to the salon, it is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal, and it can treat all skin tones and hair colors, which the salon contrasts with laser. The salon also says the treatment can be applied to almost any part of the face or body, sensitive spots included. These are the salon's own claims.

Visits begin with a consultation, and each client receives a personalized treatment plan. Electrolysis can be done with thermolysis, galvanic, or blend methods, chosen for each client. Multiple sessions are needed because hair grows in cycles, so treatment targets hairs in the active growth phase. Extended or marathon sessions are available for larger areas. Pain management is offered on request, and comfort measures are available throughout appointments. One client reports that lidocaine injections were offered to ease discomfort during longer sessions.

The practice has a 24-hour cancellation policy, and a fee applies to reschedules or no-shows made within 24 hours of an appointment. Client information is kept private and is not shared. The business describes its space as clean, private, and professional, calls itself LGBTQ friendly, and states a goal of creating a safe and inclusive environment for every client.
