Hi, Deanna Stovall here. After being an avid reader of Hairtell for years this is my first posting. Dee Fahey has often encouraged me to add my thoughts and findings from my practice to the threads. She will probably die when she reads this (as this is not what she had in mind) but after reading Alli’s post about Dee, I wanted to tell about my experiences with Dee. I am a practicing electrologist (Powell Electrolysis) in Columbus, OH. Dee is truly a blessing to the profession and to this website, as I have learned so much from both.
I met Dee 2 1/2 years ago, at which time she introduced me to the Apilus Platinum. Before meeting with Dee, I had no intention of replacing my 1yr. old (purchased new) epilator with the epilator Dee was raving about. One month later I owned my very own Apilus Platinum. A great day!
Since that time, Dee has become a special friend and mentor to me. There has been countless emails, phone calls and many sessions working on each other where Dee shared with me her “bag of tricks.” Not only is Dee good at what she does, but she is dedicated to making this profession stronger by educating both clients and practitioners.
I want to thank the contributors of this site. Hairtell passes along great information to those in need of electrolysis and laser services, and it helps practitioners become better practitioners. I have learned and benefitted from Chewbacca’s skin reaction thread to Josefa’s awesome videos. The Laurier probe thread (and probe) has been amazing as well. There really is a wealth of information contained in these threads!
One last shout out: James Walker is incredible as well! He not only lets me poke him (hopefully, I only did that once or twice) when he comes to town, he gives great tips. Working on someone with James’ hair structure is not routine in my practice. He has some of the most challenging hairs, requiring settings I have never used before (way outside the preset parameters). This is the kind of training you don’t get in school and the kind that often takes years and years to figure out on your own. It was incredibly “freeing” to see and experience the settings needed for these tough hairs and also to see the skin reaction at such levels. My most difficult clients are now served with confidence because of the help of those associated with Hairtell.
Thanks to all of the Dees, James and those who contribute to this site with photos and questions, etc. You are reaching many more people than you know and helping to create better electrologists, setting the standard higher for a great service!
