Tina Reynolds First let me thank you for your interest in Zap Electrolysis and Skin Care. I founded Zap Electrolysis is 2003 but my education started somewhere around 1993. My introduction to electrolysis was as a client first. As many of you know, it can be addicting, and I've had electrolysis done on almost every body part. So when I'm working on you, I know how it feels. And I know how wonderful it is to finally be rid of unwanted hair. Skincare seemed the next logical step as I was repeatedly asked for advice on various skin issues as well as which products were recommended. Having had my own long-term struggle with extremely sensitive and often blemished skin, I'm hoping to use everything I've learned from my past experiences with doctors and products as well as my current and future educational endeavors to offer you the best skin care treatments and advice. It is said there are those who do and those who teach. I do and then I teach to you. On a personal level, I am an animal advocate and am very passionate about animal rescue. I hope you will find time to checkout a few of the great organizations on the links page. There are so many unwanted animals. Please adopt from a local shelter or rescue and avoid the "puppy mills." And of course, Spay and Neuter! See you soon! Tara Blaska Electrolysis is something that I, myself, have been involved with for many years. One, because of the unwanted hair I once had and two, the addiction that seems to come along once electrolysis begins. When I had unwanted hair as a young adult I wasn't sure where to turn. Ashamed of others knowing about my problem, I never went further than the bathroom. Tweezing, waxing, and shaving; you name it I did it. When I found that Electrolysis could permanently remove unwanted hair it changed my life. As a client, I saw the changes electrolysis could make, inside and out. It restored the inner confidence I had lost. In 2001 I decided to change my career from the computer industry and become an Electrologist. I needed a career that I knew would help others as it did for me. I love knowing that I can or have made a difference in one's life. Chava Shinault My journey with electrolysis began when I was a junior in high school when my excessive facial and body hair could not be curbed by the temporary hair removal methods I was using i.e. shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, and bleaching. My mother was sensitive to my grief and suggested I try electrolysis because she had such success with it. After my first appointment, I could hold my head high again. Electrolysis enhanced my physical appearance and boosted my self esteem. After high school, I received my A.A. in Liberal Arts, a B.A. in Anthropology, a Minor in Dance, and a M.A. in English with an emphasis in teaching English as a Second Language. Though I found value and joy in all of these areas of education, I decided to join the Electrology field in 2006 to give back what was given to me at such a young age, FREEDOM on all levels. For many people, electrolysis is a freeing process. Not only are you becoming hair free, but you are also gaining more confidence and reaching higher ground. It's very gratifying to be part of your journey. In addition, I am knowledgeable and have personal experience with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and belong to a monthly support group at Cedar-Sinai Medical Group. In my free time you can find me sweating in dance class, making jewelry, out in nature, and in massage school. I look forward to meeting you and freeing you of your unwanted hair. Thank you for your interest in Zap Electrolysis. We will take care of you. Best regards, Chava Shinault
