Portland Electrolysis & Skin Care

Parking is validated and nearby, and the MAX stop at SW 10th and Morrison is close by. A Tri-Met bus stop at SW 6th is about a four-block walk away.

Electrolysis is offered on most facial and body areas, including eyebrows, chin, lips, jaw, breasts, underarms, abdomen, bikini line, legs and back. Pricing is by time: 15 minutes for $50, 30 minutes for $85, 45 minutes for $110 and 60 minutes for $135. Some sessions take 15 minutes, while others can run past an hour depending on the area, and the number of treatments varies by client. Complimentary consultations are offered. The electrologist recommends aftercare products. Payment is due at the time of treatment, and cards, checks and cash are accepted.

The practice works with a wide range of clients, including men who want beard, neck, ear, back or chest hair removed, transgender clients, athletes, teens and clients with darker skin or coarse, curly or wavy hair. Hair removal is also offered for breast and other sensitive areas and for unwanted hair linked to hormonal changes or PCOS. Clients under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Policies are set to keep sessions on time. A 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. Late arrivals are charged from the originally scheduled time, and appointments may not be extended if other clients are booked after them.

Treatments use shortwave (thermolysis), galvanic and blend modalities, chosen to suit the area and the client.
