Barely Hairless Electrolysis

Barely Hairless Electrolysis focuses on electrolysis, a method that treats one hair at a time to remove it permanently. Treatment areas include eyebrows, and the studio avoids work near the eye and inside the inner ear canal. The salon describes electrolysis as the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method and contrasts it with laser and IPL, which it describes as hair reduction; it notes that laser works only on dark hair.

The studio also offers the YUMI Lash Lift, a keratin treatment that gives natural lashes more height, length and curve. A mascara-look version is available, along with a version with tint that adds color pigment. The salon says the lift lasts up to 12 weeks, is waterproof and needs no special upkeep, and it describes the studio as comfortable and designed for clients who want results.

Every session and consultation is by appointment, booked through the salon's online self-booking system. A deposit is needed to hold a time and is non-refundable, and cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice. Late arrivals get a 10-minute grace period, after which the session still runs but ends at the scheduled time. Clients should remove makeup from the treatment area before they come in, since that time is deducted from the appointment.

Electrolysis is a longer commitment. The salon says most clients need about 18 months to 3 years of treatment, depending on the size of the area and individual factors. Between visits, clients can shave or trim but should not tweeze, wax or thread. Hair should be at least 3mm long, so clients are advised to shave 3 to 5 days before an appointment.

Clients under 18 must be booked by a parent or legal guardian, who must show ID at drop-off. New clients book a new client consultation and complete a profile form with a signature. The studio runs a loyalty card: after 10 sessions, clients receive 20% off their next service, though the discount doesn't apply if the card is left at home. Parking is available in nearby National Landing public garages, free after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends.

Electrolysis is treated as a long-term process, with most clients needing about 18 months to 3 years depending on the area and individual factors.

The salon describes its space as a judgment-free, comfortable studio.
