News and Updates
NOTICE to First Time Clients:
Effective immediately all first appointments , whether consultation or treatment, require full prepayment via e-transfer. The email address to send etransfer to is info@electrolysisbyseana.com . This payment on first appointment is NON_REFUNDABLE. If you make an appointment and we do not recieve payment within 24 hours of doing so, regrettably your appointment will be cancelled without notice.
Recently we've had an incident involving potential Identity Theft when an appointment was made at our clinic. The person the appointment was made for has indicated they never made the appointment. Although it does happen sometimes a first time client will never show for their appointment nor respond to the invoice for no-show appointment sent to them, this case is different where information was fraudulently provided to us without that persons knowledge. As a result, I am having to tighten up my booking procedures to prevent such occurrences in the future. From this point forward, all new clients MUST CONTACT me via phone or email to confirm their intention to book their appointment, and new clients may have their appointments cancelled without notice if we are unable to reach them in person to confirm or do not recieve pre-payment for the appointment within 24 hours via etransfer. Going forward, if this activity persists I will be switching payment processors to the native integration of stripe within our Jane booking system, and will at that time require a credit card be recorded with stripe and Jane payments to secure your appointment, meaning those without credit card will not be able to book in their appointments. I apologize for the inconvenience and in all likelihood this is a case of someone not owning up to their responsibilities, however when an allegation is made that information is provided to us as an act of identity theft or fraud, I must take steps to protect the integrity of all information provided to us, and to follow up with police services regarding potential fraud activity.

I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the passing of one of my mentors in and friends in the world of Electrology, Mr Michael A Bono resident of Santa Barbara , California. In addition to providing myself with leadership and tutelage about electrolysis , Michael advised and assisted thousands of other electrologists world wide, and just as many electrolysis consumers. He is one of the best known educators in permanent hair removal in the worlds history, Operator of the Electrology Now www.youtube.com/@ElectrologyNow toutube channel and his own website Electrologynow.com author of the book "The Blend Method" used to teach electrologists worldwide. I am priveleged to have had the opportunity to lean from him. He has been a frequent contributor the forums I moderate at hairtell.com which is where I first came in contact with him and he helped thousands upon thousands of electrolysis consumers world wide over the years. I will greatly miss him. Condolences to his family and most especially Eric his nephew who I have already passed them on to. I will say that I was aware of Mikes passing and was speaking to him until literally the day before he died . He is greatly missed and loved by thousands of electrologists worldwide. Michael passed on the 27th of December 2022 in Hospice care having suffered considerably from Pancreatic Cancer.
In unrelated news I am once again investing in further equipping my business to serve you better. I have purchased from another long time mentor and advisor in Electrolysis to me, I have had a long standing agreement to purchase an Carl Zeiss OPMI 99 medical microscope to provide better magnification and be able to provide you the customer, more accurate and faster results. As an added bonus, Mr James Walker of Executiveclearance.com from Buffalo NY , previous to me Moderator of hairtell.com and my friend and advisor of many years, is going to personally come to deliver it! James is finally retiring completely and this will likely be the last chance I get to meet my friend and mentor of many years in person before he moves completely to North Carolina. I'd like to thank him for his generous help and tutelage over the years.
This investment brings the total re-investment over November to January to just shy of $14000 in equipment and supplies and complements the brand new medical sterilizer replaced in late November in an effort to both provide you a better service, but a healthier one as well.To my knowledge we are the only clinic in the city using a steam autoclave sterilizer to better protect your health .I have made the commitment to NEVER expose my clients to the lesser standards of chemical disinfection, which is insufficient at destroying several high profile bacteria and virus.I've made a further committment to provide better and more accurate, and faster insertions with the new medical microscope, to distinuish my practise as hands down best inthe world, and live up the expectations of the many top of the world electrologisats who helped me get where I am today.
I dont want to leave anyone behind!
I hear you.inflation is hitting everyone and it's christmas.There are some clients that have discontinued their treatments after our recent price increase.We dont want to see these clients priced out of a service they desperately need.
We're updating the pricing on our regularly booked appointments for 1 hour at $110 , 2 hours at $220 3 hours at $330 and 90 minute sessions at $170
I'm also putting a new 1 hour electrolysis treatment , priced at the reduced rate of $100.The hitch is, you can only book this treatment in a block that is within 72 hours of the treatment time. You wont be permitted to book into periods further ahead than that.
I hope this helps some of my clients who are struggling to afford treatments.
Clients are reminded to book your appointments ahead. Most often my schedule is full on any given week, with only small periods of or no availability at all on short notice. The way to get around this is by booking your needed time frame weeks or even months in advance.
Upgrades to the new work space bringing it up to my professional standards , Being completed right now during month of May

Updates to my home office are 95% complete at this point, just a few finishing touches to take care of and I'll be ready to go ! The space at 1241 Wellington is officially closed, I handed in the keys on Sunday. It was so strange seeing it empty! I put so much of my time into fixing up and maintaining that space to perfection. I'll miss the walk by traffic but not the stress it brought on my life.
Looking forward to 2021 working from my home ( a wonderful commute ) which allows me to balance family obligations and professional life and reduce my costs footprint.
Looking forward to seeing each and every one of you when permitted.
