When I was sixteen years old there was a boy in one of my classes that thought it would be funny to make pencils that said, ” Lora has as beard. ” He passed them out around the school. As if being a teenager wasn’t hard enough but having to deal with unwanted hair in a visible area made it much worse not to mention having it in non-visible areas. My family didn’t have much money so seeking out electrolysis wasn’t even an option for me. I used bleaches which wasn’t the best but it was all that I had. Then at the age of 25 One of the male customers I had brought it to my attention again while waiting tables. I was so embarrassed but I let him know that I was well aware but also then pointing the fact that I had hair on top of my head unlike him. Probably not the best approach but I was dying inside and didn’t want him to know that. His wife quickly slapped him on the arm to let him know that was inappropriate. I decided it was time have electrolysis after that and then I decided to learn how to do it myself. I have always wanted to help those afflicted with the unwanted hair b/c of the emotional trauma that it caused me during my younger years and I wanted to be able to provide the service for a price that they can afford.
