does anyone know any student schools in the uk so we can get it done for free? i want to remove hair all over almost which isn't sufficient for laser but i don't have the money. I can't bleach either so are creams alright to use for stomach and back?

You can try the London College of Beauty Therapy:

Or London Esthetique:

Thank you!

Okay I emailed both places and one said to call, whilst the other one (cheaper) replied and gave me some info.

It's not free, they charge £4 per 15 minutes or £8 for half an hour which is good. I am just thinking is it worth it, as their speed may not be as fast and so on? I have no idea. But I wouldn't let them touch my face, I was considering hands or parts of my arms or my knee.

They informed me that they won't do large areas but will work on small areas, and I asked could part of my arm, instead of my whole arm be done? They replied with a yes.

I also was trying to think of more questions to ask so I did ask about the machine, whether I can get a consultation, and to confirm whether I can choose between a male and female student.

I'm not sure as to whether the questions I am asking are needed, but do any members recommend me asking something?

Those prices sound ridiculously cheap... what kind of machine are they using?

I did ask but not reply so I will try call them soon, it is probably because they are students.

I understand that, but the cost of electricity and presumably a central London location won't be cheap. Please be wary, especially as they are students (of course, everyone was a student at some point, but even some of the "professionals" are absolutely awful) and it would be great to know your results!

Where abouts are you based?

You could also contact by email several electrolysis places in your area and maybe you oould barter a service or product they might like want or need. Say you could clean there office, do laundry, run errands, etc. Or if you have actual service (stylist, massage therapist, plumber, etc.) I knnow lots of people that would be willingly to barter straight up for services. When you don't have money in life, that is when God is telling you to be alot more creative! :

Ihavehair: I think you should ask mainly, if student work is always under the watchful eye of their teachers. I have seen the disasters that can occur when no precautions are taken and I've shown on this site. But I have seen here how a diligent student can achieve the same results that a person skilled in the art (see last post from Bryce). £ 8 per half hour is a reasonable price considering that not be treated more than 100 hairs in that time. If UK is like here in Spain, teachers can advise students which is more reliable for you. The decision to start with the arms is very wise, but beware, if the student is to treat all hairs in the zone, most will telogen hairs with shallow insertions. The risk of overtreatment is greatly increased. In this anatomic area small crusts are inevitable, pay attention to size and color with them.

Note: If you feel satisfied with your student electrolysis, do not lose track when he or she will finish their training. They are hard to find copies in Europe.


This picture shows an acceptable type of crust. A few days after the electrolysis.



I forgot to say something about the machine. If you want a painless electrolysis, Apilus Platinum. But this area is highly tolerable with any machine. All are effective.
