“When it comes to hair reduction, I’m not a novice. I started the process long before lasers, quick appointments and fast results; I’m of the one hair at a time electrolysis days. When hair removal took years! But thank goodness for people like Kris who have pioneered in this industry. Nothing better that a passionate, strong, dedicated, intelligent and personable woman to trust your face and ‘unmentionable body parts’ to! I’ve been a friend and client for over 15 years, so my list of services is fairly lengthy; facials, laser hair reduction, tattoo removal (yes it hurts!), acne treatments just to name a few. Kris is the best; I know I’ve tried all the rest! Plus she surrounds herself with amazing people so you get nothing but the best experience start to finish. So if you are looking for experience, professionalism, and knowledge you’re in the right hands!”
