Beauty Chats On Hair Removal By Edna Erent Forbes
In a Beauty Chats column Edna Erent Forbes discusses permanent hair removal via the electric needle method. The multiple needle process removes more hairs faster with lower return rates than the single needle. Prices vary by city, from $1 to $5 per hour. If unable to access specialists, a home method uses equal parts peroxide and household ammonia to deter regrowth, with tweezers for prominent hairs. A brief note mentions hair care, soaps, tonics, and massages, plus submission instructions for inquiries.
