Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles during growth cycles. This FDA-approved method works best for dark hair and fair skin, offering faster results than electrolysis. Treatments include dynamic cooling for comfort, with sessions ranging from minutes to hours based on treatment area.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis permanently removes hair using sterile needles to destroy follicles. Ideal for light hair or dark skin tones, this method requires multiple sessions but guarantees permanent results. Our technicians use disposable needles and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure client safety during every appointment.
Facial Hair Removal
We specialize in facial hair removal for both men and women, targeting areas like upper lip, chin, and eyebrows. Treatments address coarse beard growth in men and sensitive areas in women, with options for laser or electrolysis based on hair type and skin sensitivity.
Body Hair Removal
Our body hair removal services cover extensive areas including back, legs, and full abdomen. We customize treatment plans for different body regions, considering hair density and growth patterns. Both laser and electrolysis options accommodate varying skin types and hair colors.
Free Consultation
We offer complimentary consultations to determine the best hair removal method for your needs. During this session, our specialists assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements.

Questions
How do laser and electrolysis treatments work?
Both methods destroy hair follicles during growth cycles. Laser uses light energy for dark hair, while electrolysis employs needles for all hair types.
What areas can be treated?
We treat all body areas for men and women, including facial hair, bikini lines, backs, and specialized transgender services.
How many sessions are needed?
Most clients require at least 6 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on hair type, skin, and treatment area.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most describe it as a warm tingling sensation. Our Candela system includes cooling for comfort, with topical anesthetic available if needed.
What are the pre-treatment requirements?
Avoid tanning and waxing for 4 weeks before treatments. Shave instead to maintain hair follicle integrity for optimal results.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, we provide printable gift certificates in any amount for our permanent hair removal services, redeemable at any of our Missouri locations.

! BUY NUMBING GEL AND USE IT AS DIRECTED BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT! - usually you apply a thick layer(seriously, let it be like an inch and a half thick), & wrap it in saran wrap an hour before the appointment. She will unwrap it and wipe the excess off before she starts. Without the numbing gel, it is EXTREMELY painful. It feels like a burning hot rubber band snapping on your skin. I use HUSH numbing gel & I literally don't feel a thing!
But other than that, it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life! She's very nice & professional which keeps the awkwardness at a minimal if you're getting your bikini area done. I've had two apts so far and it's made a significantly big difference! I literally only grow a few hairs here and there! My skin seems to love the laser treatment compared to when I would wax or shave. I have such sensitive skin it would leave razor burn or give me ingrown hairs. Definitely recommend it for anyone!

Mary and Nancy both are incredible and professional at what they do! Very comfortable, clean, sanitary, and up to par on procedures. They are very comforting as well at the end if you need ice, or cooling agent
