ELECTROLYSIS by Shawna Quigley

Shawna Quigley operates this electrolysis practice from Suite 234 at 3400 Harbor Ave SW in Seattle. Electrolysis works by inserting a sterile, single-use probe into each hair follicle and passing a minimal electrical current to the root. The practice describes the current as reaching the dermal papilla and the lower half of the follicle.

The current can be delivered by heat (thermolysis), by chemical decomposition (galvanic), or by a combination of the two. This practice uses the blend approach.

The practice takes facial clients only. Appointments run 30 minutes for $70, 45 minutes for $85, or 60 minutes for $100. Payment is by cash or check, and tipping is not expected. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice to avoid the full appointment charge, and missed appointments are charged in full.

Clients can reach the practice by email, which the business says is the quickest route, or by phone. The State of Washington does not regulate electrology. Shawna maintains an electrology license through the State of California and says she keeps it current to show her proficiency in Washington.

Uses a blend of heat and galvanic current, with single-use sterile probes for each client.
