Zapps Electrology and Beauty

The business does two kinds of work: permanent hair removal through electrolysis, and permanent makeup in the form of lip blushing and powder brows. The stated aim is to help clients look and feel their best, with permanent makeup used to add to natural features.

Electrolysis can be done on the face, neck, back, arms, areolas, bikini and pubic area, knuckles, eyebrows, ears, and other body areas, though deep inside the ear and nose is not treated. The business specializes in the Blend method, which combines galvanic and thermolysis currents in one probe, and it also offers electrolysis for hormone-related excessive hair growth, including growth linked to PCOS, certain medications, hereditary factors, and menopause. Electrolysis is performed with a fine sterile probe placed into each hair follicle. The business states that electrolysis permanently removes hair, while laser only reduces it.

Lip blushing and powder brows are both done with a pen-like machine that deposits tiny pigment dots using the stippling method. Lip blushing is meant to restore color to the lips and define the outline, shaped to each client's lip and features, with a strong topical anesthetic applied before and during the session. Powder brows produce an airbrushed look, and designs can run from dramatic and dark to soft and delicate depending on what the client asks for. Both treatments involve two sessions, with the first lasting about 3 to 4 hours and the second about 1 to 2 hours. The business says lip blushing lasts about 1 to 2 years depending on the individual, and powder brows last a few years on average.

Electrolysis is priced by the minute: 10 minutes for $38, 15 minutes for $44, 20 minutes for $48, 30 minutes for $56, 45 minutes for $68, and 60 minutes for $80. Packages are also offered: 12 sessions of 10 minutes for $425, 10 sessions of 15 minutes for $410, 6 sessions of 30 minutes for $306, and 4 sessions of 60 minutes for $290. Lip blushing costs $375 for the first session and $80 for the second. Powder brows cost $350 for the first session and $75 for the second.

New clients complete consent, medical history, and health history paperwork for their service before the first appointment. New electrolysis clients receive a complimentary 15-minute consultation, and a free initial consultation is available to plan hair removal. Appointments are booked through the business's Glossgenius page, and a $50 booking fee applies to lip blushing or powder brows bookings. A $25 cancellation fee applies to no-shows and to cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead. Payment can be made in cash, which is preferred, by Venmo or Zelle, or with major credit and debit cards.
