What Do I Mean By Electrolysis Ethics?
Electrolysis ethics is a concept introduced to me by Sarah Shrigley. Until I discovered Sarah I never had an effective electrolysis treatment. I had a string of people take my money, re-use probes, and lie to me about results that never came. Sarah told me that when she treated a hair it did not come back (the exact words were “95/100 hairs will not return”). I asked her what the difference was between her and everyone else. In one word, Sarah replied, “Ethics.”
Electrolysis Ethics means working efficiently and being conscientious about cleanliness and hygiene. Electrolysis seems like a simple process but it takes hundreds of hours of practice to be good at it. Self-discipline and training are also part of electrolysis ethics. You have to be prepared for your clients or you are not an ethical electrologist.
Electrolysis Ethics can NEVER be regulated.
Electrolysis regulation never addresses the effectiveness of electrolysis treatments. Any legislation deals with hygiene and bookkeeping only. Why legislate how I clean my tweezers while making no mention of an acceptable level of treatment success? I don’t understand this.
Electrolysis Ethics means holding yourself to the highest standard you can.
The better way to do business is often the simplest way as well. I don’t have to dodge questions about why a treatment isn’t working or blame anyone for their “stubborn hair”. I do what I say I’m going to do. Visible results in one appointment. The hair I treat is gone for good.
I never re-use probes because they bend and become dirty and dull during the treatment. My work is easier if I discard the probe and start a new one. It’s just not practical to cut corners. That’s where the ethics comes in. I don’t discard probes because I’m required to, I discard probes because that’s simply the better way to do business!
And that is why my new nom de plume is…The Ethical Electrologist.
