"I had been plucking the hair on my chin for at least 15 years and had got to the point I was plucking sometimes twice a day. I was so embarrassed that I wouldn't stop and talk to people outside because I was afraid they could see the hair on my chin in the sunlight. I was really getting a complex about my appearance. I felt like no matter where I went, everyone was looking at my chin. Finally, last December I made an appointment with Nancy Tyree for a consultation. She was very good about explaining the growth of hair and why I was plucking so much. She told me to, 'throw away the tweezers!'"
My first appointment, Nancy used the laser for the dark hair and electrolysis for the gray ones. For weeks after the first treatment, hair would appear, but only as a black dot and, when scraped over, would merely fall out. Some hair looked like they were attached, yet when barely touched, would fall out. This resulted from the laser treatments. I couldn't believe how much hair the laser zapped! I never realized just how much hair had been on my chin or how much I was plucking until I started the procedure.
"My chin is once again smooth, and I never have to pluck. The only thing I regret is the fact I waited so long to start. If anyone has doubts as to whether or not these treatments actually get rid of hair, rest assured, they do!" - Glenna Wheeler

"My laser treatments at Electrolysis/Laser Associates were amazingly fast with little or no pain. I am a 40-year-old woman, and through the years my beard had become so coarse and dark, nothing would remove it but shaving. After my treatments: no shaving, no embarrassing stubble. I stopped hiding my chin in my hand.
But what really impressed me was Mary's concern about my comfort, her attention to every detail and her friendly professional manner. I felt confident that I was in the most proficient and experienced hands. Mary at Electrolysis/Laser Associates made the process so easy for me. Because my beard was so coarse, it took several follow-up treatments.
The treatments themselves were no more painful than a rubber band snap. Following the treatment, Mary applied an ice pack followed by a moisturizing lotion that was very soothing. I am simply a much happier person today thanks to Mary Vincenc and Electrolysis/Laser Associates. Thank you Mary." - Wendy Buynicki

"After only three treatments, I no longer have to shave! I'd recommend Electrolysis/Laser Associates to everyone. I'm very happy with the results!" - Renee Johnson
"I am a man in my 50s and make a living as a barber. Over the years I have dealt with an increasingly serious problem of very hairy ears. Shaving and the use of clippers only made the problem worse. I recall cutting my father's hair and as he grew older it was almost impossible to trim the hair in his ears. Recently a client of mine came in for a haircut. I've cut his hair for years and was aware that his problem was even worse than mine. I was so surprised to see that his ears looked perfectly clean. He told me he decided to try laser treatment at Electrolysis/Laser Associates. He had the highest praise for both the results and the technician who did the treatments. So I gave Mary Vincenc a call and went in for a free consultation. She assured me she could clear up the problem. Because of my age, some of the hairs were white or gray. She said the laser was not completely effective on blonde or white hair. But she had the solution: The laser removed 95% of the hair and the white hair she removed by electrolysis. I just want to say how pleased I am with both the results and the highly professional manner in which I was treated. I would not hesitate in recommending my own clients to Electrolysis/Laser Associates." - J.C.M.
"Since I was in my twenties I had a small amount of hair on my chin. Who knows why! But I plucked and plucked and it just grew in coarser and thicker. After twenty years of this, my chin was pretty irritated. I would get ingrown hair and swollen follicles. Even though I could get rid of the hair for a day, I had one angry, red looking chin. Ugh! After many treatments with electrolysis, Mary and Nancy finally got their laser equipment and I eagerly signed up for the treatment. Now my hair is gone and not coming back! And my skin has returned to a happy pink. I can go without makeup and plucking. How great is that!?" - S. M. K.
Mary has worked at our clinic for 20 years and Nancy has worked for 15 years. They are very knowledgeable, and professional. They have performed both electrolysis and laser hair removal on me and I have been completely satisfied with the results. I had laser removal 8 years ago on my legs and I no longer have to shave. It works! It's permanent! It's great! There are lasers that advertise permanent hair removal that are not permanent, but you can rest assure the laser the Electrolysis/Laser Associates uses is permanent.

"I have always had a lot a hair, and laser hair removal has been wonderful. You notice a huge difference in the amount and texture of hairs even before your treatment is completed. It's a treat to not worry about buying new razors and finding the time to shave. I can't wait to get the next area treated. Thank You Electrolysis/Laser Associates!" - TLL
I can't even begin to describe how great it is to no longer shave or use hair removal cream. Both Mary and Nancy are incredible and work very hard to create a comfortable, welcoming environment. They are extremely knowledgeable and caring. Not only have I had laser hair removal on my under arms, legs, bikini area and eyebrows, my daughters have also been treated. NO MORE SHAVING! They are wondering why they waited so long. - JC
I have been going to Nancy Tyree and Mary Vincenc (Nancy is the one I generally see) for a long time. I was recommended by a friend of mine when we were discussing aggravating hairs on our chins that you pluck and they keep returning. It seemed to me for every one that I plucked that two would grow back. So I took my friend’s advise and made an appointment with Nancy back in 1993 and been going to her ever since. I started out with the chin, then when that worked out so well, I moved on with the eyebrows, and as you can gather one thing lead to another. She was doing only the electrolysis when I started, (boy I wish she had the Laser back then). Now you may wonder why so many years, well that’s because she has done every part of my body, and the majority of it was with the electrolysis. I continue to go back if I fine any unwanted hairs the may pop up. It doesn't matter how old you get there may still be a strange hair that pops up somewhere it shouldn’t. So I just go back for checkups just like you would a regular doctor. Nancy will use the laser on any dark hairs that she may fine and do electrolysis on any of the light hairs that the laser can’t detect. Nancy is the best. I trust her judgment on anything she thinks needs to be done. - Marian J Nicks
I was really impressed, it was my first time. I have been fighting this facial hair for a very long time. I am from India and not the "perfect" skin tone for this, but an okay candidate. I took consultations before, but as a college student couldn't ever afford to do it. But then I realized time has come, for a BIG change. I hope to get married and can't afford thousands of dollars for this.
I was referred to Mary through a friend and I couldn't wait to try this and it worked so great. I think she was my new best friend like an angel sent from up above. I felt so confident and perfect about myself and I felt that I had found a solution.
It was fast, quick and easy. Mary did an awesome job with my face and I hope to some day completely get rid of this :-)
Thank You Mary and I will never forget your kindness of helping me through this. :-)

For years I was embarrassed about my mustache and chin hair. I was constantly plucking. And then my friend told me about the laser treatments she was getting from Mary. I was pretty skeptical but finally decided to give it a try. My friend filled me in on what to expect so I wasn’t too nervous. There was no need to worry; Mary was very professional and explained in detail the procedures involved. Before each treatment I applied a topical lotion that helped with the tingling sensation of the laser and then applied plastic wrap (I used the “Press n Seal” kind) to my face. I had to leave this on to keep the lotion from drying out. This was probably the worst part of the treatments—getting the strange looks from people on the way to my appointment. So if you see anyone with plastic wrap on their face, they are on their way to see Mary or Nancy. My treatments are over now and I am so thrilled with the results. It was soooo worth it!
Thanks, Mary! –Sharon Harris
