Many clinic owners we talk to are considering expanding their services with electrolysis, alongside the waxing they already offer. It doesn't have to be one or the other — these methods complement each other perfectly, but it's worth understanding how they differ.
How does electrolysis differ from waxing?
Waxing removes hair temporarily, while electrolysis destroys the hair root, so the effect is permanent. Wax works mechanically and requires regular repeat visits every few weeks, with no end in sight. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is a method based on electrolysis targeting individual hair follicles — which is why it requires a series of treatments, but leads to a real, permanent reduction in hair.
Which method builds a longer-lasting relationship with the client?
Electrolysis, because the client returns to the same specialist regularly for many months, sometimes years, as part of one continuous series of treatments. It's a completely different model from waxing, where a client can just as easily switch clinics between visits. Such a long-term relationship also translates into greater trust and easier sales of other services in the clinic.
Do you have to give up waxing to introduce electrolysis?
No, in most clinics both methods work side by side and appeal to different clients. Waxing remains a good choice for clients who want a quick, cheap, short-term result. Electrolysis is worth offering to those for whom hair removal is a long-term, recurring problem — especially with blonde, grey or very fine hair, which often even laser can't treat.
How do you start offering electrolysis in your clinic?
You need solid practical training — the rest is a matter of practice and your first clients. Our two-day course in Kraków teaches you to work on Sinepil and Biomak devices from scratch, with no previous experience in this method required. Check the programme and prices on the electrolysis training in Kraków page or see how to book on the booking.
