This was a big decision to start but at Alison's I was made so comfortable and she is so careful; am not finished yet but each week at Alison's has made this "going hairless" adventure easier for me to continue. On the practical side, the surroundings and the equipment are spotless and the needles are disposable - no worries about germs here; and the price is more than reasonable. Started with the basics (lips and brows) but probably will have more done here too!!! Again, the best decision I ever made!
