Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! Have you decided to make a break and head for the coast in the New Year? Is a vacation in your plans? You are not alone. Conde Nast Traveler expects a big increase from the last few years in travel to more exotic locations. In fact, they compiled a list of the Readers Choice Awards for 2013 for the best experiences for your vacation considerations.

As a person who enjoys travel it is amazing to see all the different places I normally don’t think about to experience a fun vacation. Just getting out of our element sometimes is exactly what you need. Make 2014 the year of travel for  you and your mate. Experience all the fun things to do in these exciting locations.

Of course – be sure to schedule your laser hair removal services so you have time to prepare for wearing a strapless evening dress, shorts or bathing suit. Call me at 970-237-1711 and we will have fun thinking about our dream vacations. Live life to the fullest and have a terrific New Year!

 If there is a vacation in your plans for the New Year – you earned it – enjoy!

One thing I hear time and time again from clients is…

I didn’t know that tweezing made it worse!

The reason tweezing causes more hair growth is because the dermal papilla supplies blood flow to the hair follicle and when you pull the hair out blood and lymph rush to the area and actually nourishes that hair follicle. This makes that hair come back thicker, coarser and soon they multiply.

In addition,  over time you will start to get ingrown hairs and if you try to pick them out, this can lead to skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation) and scarring.  It’s best to shave until you can get into an appointment to rid yourself of the unwanted hair because tweezing makes things worse.  It is not an overnight treatment as hair grows in cycles. Be prepared to attend more than one session to resolve the issue.  If you tend to have an abnormal abundance of unwanted hair it may be the result of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).

So if you catch yourself picking up the tweezers – stop. Just call me instead! – Deb 970-237-1711

Be hair free!

It’s finally arrived! All brand new and shiny for 2012! The Away with Hair website has been designed for you to easily find information about services, gift certificates, directions and of course our informative blog. This blog will cover  information about the hair removal industry which will include laser hair removal and electrolysis.

I hope to create a forum for my clients to discuss topics covered in the blog so please feel free to participate and ask questions in our comment area.

Supporting local Fort Collins businesses is something I have done for years. I might recommend a great local business from time to time and ask you to do the same with your experiences.

Please bookmark this site, email it to a friend if you’d like or add our RSS feed if you like to read blogs in syndication – either way – let’s stay in touch! If there is something that you would like discussed, please send me an email in the contact area or let me know during your appointment. My goal for the new year is to post weekly – or as things become relevant.

I bet you are thinking, wow, Deb has moved into the 21^st century fast with an official Away with Hair Blog! Yes! Everyone has been asking for these new ways to keep in touch – so here we go folks. Thank you for your continued patronage and support. Call 970-237-1711 to make your appointment today. Thank you!  – Deb Drake
