Q: Do you take insurance?
Yes, I am currently an in-network specialist with Kaiser for providing trans clients with gender-affirming hair removal.
You will have to get pre-authorization from your Primary Care Physician before I can work with your insurance. After that, please include the front and back of your Healthcare ID Card in your initial message to me so I can verify eligibility.
I am also in the process of becoming contracted with LA Care. For other insurances, you may be able to apply for reimbursements from your insurance company.
Q: How do I schedule a session with you? I don’t see any open appointments on your calendar?
A: Please message me directly via email or Instagram.
Almost all my clients return weekly for a regular one-hour session. If you’d like to become a regular client or schedule a consultation, I input all bookings personally by-hand into my online calendar, which will send reminder emails before your next session. Please only use the online scheduling system as advised when advised. On our first consultation session, we’ll talk through any questions or concerns you might have before we get started.
Q: Did you cancel some of my sessions? What upcoming appointments do I have scheduled?
A: Sometimes I will have to cancel sessions due to being out-of-town, so please check regularly and make sure to keep note of any email updates. You can log on to the Simplybook portal in order to view or cancel any upcoming sessions. If you forgot your portal password, let me know, and I can reset it for you.
Q: What if I have to cancel? Do you have a cancellation policy?
A: If you cancel less than 72 hours in advance, I charge the whole session fee. Please message me (and log onto the portal and cancel) if you know you’ll have to miss an upcoming session.
Q: What are your out-of-pocket rates?
My current out-of-pocket rate is $80–$120/hour sliding scale. I ask that client’s choose a rate within that range that best fits their financial capacity and income. The more my higher-income clients choose a higher rate, the greater capacity I have to take on lower-income clients.
Q: How long a session should I book?
A: If you’re new to hair removal, at least an hour. Electrolysis is a precise process and takes time to see results. I only recommend someone book a 15 or 30 min appointment if they can easily count the number of hairs that need to be removed.
Q: Do you do electrolysis for bottom surgery prep, or work on the genital/anal area in general?
A: Unfortunately, I do not, but am working on finding good queer-friendly tech’s I could refer you to
