How close is Santa Ana to the studio?
Very close. Our Irvine studio at 18021 Sky Park Circle, Suite N, Irvine, CA 92614 is about 10 to 20 minutes from most of Santa Ana without traffic, and it is right by John Wayne Airport. We are not in Santa Ana.
From downtown Santa Ana and the Bowers Museum area, take Bristol Street or the 55 south toward the airport. From MainPlace Mall, Bristol Street south is the simplest line. From the Santa Ana College area, Bristol Street or the 55 both work. You will drive past the Discovery Cube and the airport approach. Parking is free.
| From | Route | Without traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Santa Ana | Bristol St or the 55 south | About 15 min |
| MainPlace area | Bristol St south | About 10 to 15 min |
| South Santa Ana, near the 405 | 405 south, exit by the airport | About 10 min |

Is electrolysis a good option if you shave every day?
For many people it is, because daily shaving leaves bumps, dark spots and rough skin that electrolysis can reduce over time. Men with beard or neck bumps and women with a shadow on the jaw both come to us. The cause is often hair that curls back into the skin.
Once the follicle is treated, that hair does not return. Skin often looks calmer as the course goes on. Find out more about neck electrolysis, and the men's page covers beard lines and shoulders.
How do you work appointments into a workday?
Book the first slot of the day or the last one. At 8am the roads are quieter, and by 8pm the 405 has thinned.
- 8am: finish a 20-minute lip session and be at work by 9:30am
- Lunch hour: a 20 to 30 minute visit, with parking right at the door
- After 7:30pm: the easiest drive from the airport area home to Santa Ana
- Weekend: time for a longer chin and neck combination
Pink skin fades within hours, so a lunch visit is realistic for most people.
What does a visit cost, and what does a week add up to?
You pay per visit, and a small area can cost under $100 a week during the start phase. Here are the numbers.
| Plan | Visit price | Weekly cost at first |
|---|---|---|
| Upper lip | $50 (20 min) | $50 |
| Chin | $65 (30 min) | $65 |
| Neck | $90 (45 min) | $90 |
| Underarm | $90 (45 min) | $90 |
| Leg | $150 (60 min) | $150 |
The first session is $25 off. Five visits save 10%, ten visits save 15%. The prices page has the full list.
What is a typical electrolysis plan?
For a small area, plan on about 8 to 15 sessions over 9 to 18 months, with weekly visits early and wider gaps later.
| Stage | Gap between visits | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| First 3 months | Weekly | Dense growth is cleared |
| Months 4 to 9 | 2 to 3 weeks | Regrowth is thinner |
| After month 9 | 4 to 6 weeks | Only stray hairs remain |
Typical, not a promise. Hair type, hormones and skin vary by person.
Will it work after laser or waxing?
Yes. Laser and waxing leave behind hairs, and electrolysis can treat any of them. If you got laser and some light or gray hairs stayed, see gray and blonde hair removal. If you are comparing methods first, electrolysis vs laser has the details.
Who will treat you?
Aida Khazieva, a licensed cosmetologist and electrologist with 20+ years of experience, treats every client. She uses a sterile single-use probe on an Apilus device and picks thermolysis, galvanic or blend per follicle. The studio is rated 5 on Google. Read about her on her page.
What do you do about ingrown hairs and dark marks?
Treat the hair at the root, and leave the marks alone while they fade. Ingrown hairs are hairs trapped under the skin, and dark marks follow them. Removing the hair at the root takes away the thing that keeps curling back, so new ingrowns tend to form less often as the course goes on.
Do not squeeze or dig at ingrowns, since that makes marks last longer. Wear sunscreen on healing skin, because sun makes dark spots darker. Many clients see calmer skin over the weeks of a course, although results vary and marks fade slowly.
What should you do the night before your first session?
Keep it simple. Shave lightly, drink water, eat something before a long visit, and plan your drive. The roads around the airport are easy to find, and parking is free, so you can arrive a few minutes early without stress.
- Shave the night before or the morning before, so hair is about 1 to 2 mm
- Skip acids, retinol and scrubs on the area for 48 hours
- Bring your questions and any list of medications
- Arrive 5 minutes early to check in at Suite N
How do you book?
