Did you know that the average woman spends roughly $10,000 on shaving over her lifetime? Not only is body shaving a hassle, but it’s also expensive! No wonder more and more people are either opting out of hair removal completely or turning to permanent methods such as electrolysis.
However, electrolysis isn’t a single-session solution either. Electrolysis will start working from the very first session. But, clients will need to come back repeatedly to achieve complete hair removal. If you’re not sure how many sessions you should recommend clients have to see electrolysis results, we’ve got you covered!
Keep reading to get a clear idea of the number of sessions required for this treatment.

The Number of Sessions Can Vary By Client
The first thing to know is that the number of sessions required to see electrolysis results can vary widely between clients.
The reason for this is that everybody’s hair grows at different rates. Some people have thicker hair and stronger hair follicles while others might have sparser hair, thinner skin, and less resilient follicles.
However, a general rule of thumb you can give your clients is that most people need to get a treatment done every 1-2 weeks after their initial electrolysis treatment. This will keep them free from long, unwanted hair and keep on targeting the hair follicles that are still active.
Once all the hair is gone from the area, the client can cease their sessions and they won’t need any further treatments.
Clients Should Come for a Minimum of 10 Sessions
Another general rule of thumb is that most clients will need to come for at least 10-14 sessions before the full electrolysis results will kick in. However, this is just a minimum. Some people may have to wait 8-18 months to see the full results.
Make It Clear to Clients That They’ll Need Multiple Sessions to See Electrolysis Results
Before you book a new client for electrolysis hair removal, make sure you inform them that they’ll need multiple sessions. If you don’t, you might wind up with an unhappy client who didn’t realize that electrolysis treatment isn’t an instant fix.
Also, before you start offering electrolysis services, make sure your salon insurance policy is in order. Electrolysis is a very safe hair removal treatment and can be done on any area of the body or face, but can result in irritation, scarring, or pitting if not properly performed.
However, to protect yourself from the unforeseen, it’s always a wise idea to carry insurance as a salon owner. If a client experiences an adverse reaction, you want to know you’re fully protected by your insurance policy. Most salon and electrolysis insurance packages also offer coverage for general liability and property damage.
Key Takeaways:
- The number of sessions needed will depend on how strong the client’s hair follicles are.
- Typically, clients will need to come in for 10-14 sessions before the full electrolysis results will kick in.
