New Permanent Hair Removal Option in Lenox
LENOX, Mass.— Nue Electrolysis, located at 69 Church Street in Suite 4, is now accepting patients to help remove unwanted hair.
Owner, Kristen Fontaine, recently opened the space around July 15th.
What she does is use electrolysis to zap the hair out of your body. Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method for permanent hair removal.
"Basically what you do is you take a fine probe and use it to get into a particle, and it goes down to the base of the root and use that with electricity," she said.
Fontaine went to the Electrology Institute of New England becoming licensed in Massachusetts.
"I find electrology to be very detail oriented, which I love. I like getting focused in on something and just working towards a goal and I like helping people," she said.
It takes multiple sessions to help get rid of the hair, with the range varying based on hair growth. However Fontaine recommends having appointments at least once a week.
"You need a series of sessions to really get results with this kind of thing. It's because of the hair growth cycle. Once the hair comes out, another one's going to come in. Keep going until you keep zapping that one bulb eventually it will grow finer and finer."
Fontaine grew up in Pittsfield wanted to open her business in Lenox because this part of the county was lacking in the electrology field.
"I specifically wanted Lenox, just because there is somebody in Barrington doing electrology, somebody in Pittsfield who is also in Williamstown doing it. So, I wanted to be able to kind of serve this area of Berkshire County."
Fontaine hopes to help people feel better in their skin and make their life easier when it comes to their hair on their body.
"I want people to be comfortable in their skin and I want people to not have to shave every day and tweeze and pluck or go through 'beauty is pain' even though that is the process here, but it'll end eventually," she said.
Fontaine is planning to go to school for aesthetics at the Aesthetic Science Institute, where she can hopefully provide services like facials.
"I'm going to start going to school for esthetics very soon, in a couple weeks, hopefully I can add on some basic esthetic services. I definitely want to keep my focus on hair removal," she said.
Hours are by appointment and can be made here or by calling.
