6. Please state your opinion about this electrologist:
Roxie and Prience are fantastic. They are very good about security, privacy, and
after-treatment care. They also have incredibly flexible hours; my third session with
them was an all-nighter 10 hour marathon! I am extremely pleased with the results so
far. R&P are very understanding, and I felt very much at ease from the first session.
Their rates seem a bit high to me ($100/hr), but they have been worth every penny.

She is open to transgender clients and when you talk with her please let her know that you are transgender. She does not have special hours for her TG cliental.
