Integrity above all. I had a discussion with Dave who I can not fault. Instead of thinking of money and custom he was very mindful of my health and advised against the removal due to a health issue I have that in all likelihood would have been bad due to the lazer treatment. I would happily do business with someone that has that kind of integrity. Thank you for the honesty and genuine humanity.

Having had to use hair removal most of my life this has been amazing. After only 3 sessions my facial hair has significantly reduced. No more fortnightly painful electrolysis. Would highly recommend

I've had great service from Dave. I was very unsure and a bit self conscious about even starting the process of hair removal, but he's made it all very normal and comfortable. He's very communicative about the process and expectations. More than willing to adapt and work with you. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly.
