Ancient Egyptians used tweezers made from seashells to pluck every hair they could find, leaving only the eyebrows. Other methods… read more
The idea of getting laser hair removal and never having to shave again is appealing for obvious reasons.

In April’s first springy blog we delved into the ancient history of hair removal. From Cleopatra to Brutus to Queen Elizabeth, everyone was trying to get rid of unwanted hair. Plucking, raking it off with stones, applying harsh liquids…whatever it took, they tried to remove hair from their faces and bodies. Lucky you, you’re living… read more
