JustSmart Electrolysis

JustSmart Electrolysis has been removing hair permanently since 1997. The business is based in Norfolk and treats most areas of the body, excluding the scalp, eyelashes, the inside of the nose and the inside of the ear canal.

Electrolysis is done by inserting a fine metal probe into each hair follicle and passing a small electrical current through it, which destroys the hair root. Depending on technique, the business offers electrolysis, thermolysis and The Blend. Treatment is delivered as a series of sessions, and the total number needed depends on hair coarseness, the area treated, comfort, medications, hormonal changes and certain medical conditions.

Sessions are priced by length. A session of 1 to 20 minutes is $30, and the price rises by $5 for each additional 5-minute band, from $35 for 21 to 25 minutes up to $70 for 56 to 60 minutes. Clients are asked to call or text to book, with texting preferred. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

The business says the electrologist works within each client's comfort tolerance and encourages clients to speak up during treatment. Some redness or swelling can follow a session, and the business describes this as a short healing phase. The owner says they follow sterilization, disinfection and antisepsis guidelines.

According to the business, electrolysis works for people of any gender or race and is especially suited to athletes whose clothing causes sweating.

Each session is adjusted to the client's comfort, and treatment is given as a series of appointments over time.
