Choosing an Electrolysist can be difficult. Whilst it is essential to look for a practitioner with the best credentials, it is also a good idea to check consumer hair removal web sites and forums to get some insider tips. You could try:
Hairtell is an international forum for consumers and professionals to share information about hair removal in all its forms (electrolysis, laser, waxing, shaving, patented devices etc) It contains a wealth of knowledge.
Hairshoot Community Group is a Facebook Community group by Cherry Tree and international colleagues & may be of help initially as we have many specialist electrolysists poised and ready to help with any queries posted. Our specialists (500+) are based all across the UK, Ireland, Europe, South America, the US, New Zealand, Canada and Australia.
Membership of the BIAE (British Institute and Association of Electrolysis) provides reassurance that you have found an Electrolysist who is a specialist, and who has successfully taken further practical and written exams to gain a Diploma in Remedial Electrolysis (D.R.E.) and membership of the Institute.
The specialist belonging to the BIAE is also obliged to undertake CPD (Continuing Professional Development) as expected in all professions.
I am a BIAE member and examiner and a trained and experienced Registered Nurse with extra training in dermatology (University of Stirling, 2012) and a Bsc (Professional Practice, Nursing; University of Stirling, 2012) I have now (as of December 2023) lapsed my “active” registration with the NMC (Nursing & Midwifery Council) because i am on my pathway to semi-retirement from August 2025. That was a brave decision for me but definitely the right one as i’m very busy with 4 days a week in clinic and at least one day a week home-office admin work and I really feel the benefit of having fewer commitments. I can and do still keep up to date with two regular, physical journals - dermatology and aesthetics - and also on-line research reading from Medscape and other sources with occasional mini-“test your knowledge” type refreshers and quizzes. I also admin for my own online groups specifically for electrolysis, Hairshoot and Hairshoot Community. The latter keeps me in close contact with the specialist electrolysist community in the UK and across the world.
