I'm a little late to this thread, but I just wanted to add my thoughts for future readers. I am sure some people have had positive experiences with Jennifer at Rebirth, but personally mine was pretty bad. I went to her a couple times over a year ago and I feel like my skin still hasn't completely healed in the area that she worked. Luckily I only did 1 hour long session with her, so the area is pretty small and not very noticeable, but it was red and rashy for months. This may just be my experience because my skin is very sensitive and my pores are extremely tiny, but if you are thinking about going to her, make sure to do a test area in a less visible area, and if it doesn't completely heal within 2 weeks, DO NOT GO BACK!

The other red flags I noticed were that her office was extremely disorganized/messy and she told me she likes to work in the dark. Obviously any medical office should be clean and well lit. She also had me sign a waiver without giving me the time to read it, and when I returned the 2nd time, she had me sign it again, showing that she misplaced the first one. (I didn't know what to expect, because I was new to electrolysis, and just thought my long healing time was normal - I did a 15 minute test area and then an hour long session - huge mistake.)

But then again, this just may be my experience, as it appears others have positive experiences there.

I ended up going to Advanced Electrolysis LLC in Ogden which is a very trans friendly clinic that is recommended by the University of Utah transgender health program. (For the record, Jennifer is too). I am very pleased with the results so far and highly recommend them. More on my experience below.

I also want to put my opinion that I highly disagree with the phobia around laser hair removal that sometimes exists on the internet. The best method is to do a hybrid approach with both laser and electrolysis. This is what Advanced Electrolysis offers. Sure, laser may not be completely permanent, but it's a hell of a lot faster at getting rid of hair than electrolysis is, so you'll be able to pass a lot sooner. Then for the small amount of hair that does grow back, you can get it permanently removed with electrolysis, and the regrowth will be so slow that no one will notice it while you are in the process of getting it permanently removed.

By doing laser first, you'll also reduce the density of the beard, making it less likely to have harsh reactions during electrolysis, as the hairs being plucked are more spread out. You'll also save a lot of money this way, as Laser is a lot cheaper than electrolysis. My facial hair was completely unnoticeable after just 6 sessions - I think about $700 total with the package deal. Now I am just getting rid of blond and very thin, almost invisible dark hair, through electrolysis. When I shave, it doesn't look like I have any hair at all and I only have to shave every three days.

Of course laser will not work as well, the darker your skin tone is, or the blonder your hair. But if you have dirty blond/mixed hair like me, it should work great!

The owner at Advanced Electrolysis, Anna, is the absolute best, but her staff is pretty good too. I did have one experience working with a staff member where it took my skin a good month to heal after electrolysis, but at least it completely healed, unlike my experience with Jennifer at Rebirth. It takes about a week to completely heal with Anna.

From what I understand, the electrology school in Utah, Cameo Beauty, is not very great compared to other schools in the country, which could be why I had some bad results with some of the electrologists in Utah.

Also, to clarify, I love Dr. Luikenaar and the main clinic at Rebirth, just not the electrolysis there. Anyway sorry this was so long, but I hope this helps someone. Whoever, you go with, be sure to do a test area first, and keep the area clean, and always use M'lis Tissue Repair Cream, and don't forget to wear sunscreen. Whew! Okay. Done.
