I was teased in school in the 5Th grade for having a mustache. As a girl you def don't want any hair on your face so I started removing it with cream hair remover. I did this about once a week for years until it started making my upper lip dark and not removing the hair 15 years later. So then I decided I had to do something and I came across electrolysis. I did my research and there was several people that had great results so I decided to give it a go. I went to a lady in Illinois that said she would give me a discount and only do it for 10 for the first and then after it would go up. I had asked her if she had any patients that this had worked on and she said yes several. I was so excited because I just wanted to be hair free on my upper lip. So I had the procedure done and she removed all the hair on my upper lip with thermolysis. (I was skeptical because her arms were extremely hairy.. Like a mans) but I thought well she can't do this on herself. So afterward I left and my entire face started itching. Keep in mind I only had my upper lip done. So it was like all the blodd came rushing to my face. A week later my son started laughing and he said mom.. You have a Beard. I about started to cry. I went to the bathroom and sure enough I had hair out of the blue on my chin. I about died! I have never in my life had hair on my chin. As weeks and months and years have went on it has just continued to get worse. Now there is hair all over my face... I am talking forehead... Still on upper lip... Sides of face... Nose... All over and I also started getting hair on my breasts... Back.. Neck... Shoulders.. It's everywhere. I called this lady that had done it when I started noticing hair everywhere and she said that she isn't sure what happened. The only explanation I got. Now I live my life in seclusion. I have 3 kids... That love sports. I put a hat on and literally try and avoid the stares. O am scared to death to try laser or any other form of hair removal aa the hair is blonde right now... But since I have black hair I am afraid of dark shadows forming like what happened to my upper lip with the cream hair remover along with waxing. I'm sonafraid the hair will be worse. I haven't went to a store in years because when I do people stare at me like I am a freak. I have tried counseling but it didn't help and the people behind the counter would just laugh at me. It really hurts me to know I ruined my life and my kids with 10 bucks. I am writing this after years of dealing with seclusion so no one else has to go through what I have been. If it wasn't for God and the live of my kids I feel like I wouldn't be willing to live. Think twice before this procedure. It could literally ruin your life. Now I wish I had just the hair on my lip to remove.

I told the lady that was doing this at the time that I just wanted a small portion done but she continues to do my entire lip. I wish I would have never had this done. After it was over she proceeded to tell me you have no idea of how much hair you really have but you will soon find out. Not sure what she meant by that.
