State of California Licensed


In order to meet the requirements of the State of California Board of Cosmetology, I completed 600 hours of training. Areas of Study included skin, skin disorders, as well skin trauma and recovery. Study of the origins and structure of the hair, from the hair shaft to the substructures of the follicle in which it is housed are part of the curriculum. Course work in electricity, electronics and their interaction with the skin during the process was also covered. This training also involved extensive practical hands-on techniques with various clients who appear for work. Following the school, I then returned and held group discussions on techniques and machine settings as well as informational presentations on dealing with clients. Also I spent a great deal of time researching various sources in preparation for writing text for hairzapper.com’s first website

I have had many opportunities to use any one of a number of types of power in the process of killing hair. By the time I had finished school, I had worked on some of the most difficult and challenging cases that I could find. I could not go limp on this, it was my future. In school I experimented on myself exhaustively with every type of machine and setting that I could define. As a client who had approximately 400 hours of work done on me, I learned a great deal from both ends of that needle that has helped me to this day. I have rarely given in to demands for "FLASH THERMOLYSIS" on clients, but, in fact, I had worked with the process extensively, in its use for small "peach fuzzies" on the upper lip of my latin classmates who were thrilled that so much could be done so easily. However, I found that this process was not capable of permanence as well as the Blend and Galvanic methodologies. I also found that repeated trials on deep facial hair yielded dismal results.

I left school a firm believer in multi-needle galvanic, but it only took about 2 months to realize that while the 16 channel concept was good, the design left a lot to be desired at the needle end where the tangle of wires and the movement of the patient were a constant annoyance. I found that claims of 900 hairs per hour were difficult to substantiate.

From 1994 until 2000, I favored high galvanic low thermolysis, single needle style of blend electrolysis. It worked well and a lot of hairs died under that deadly needle. Since 2000, I have undertaken to improve various aspects of galvanic operation. Galvanic continued to prove far superior to any other method and in 2000, I dropped thermolysis from my practice. Please read my section on Galvanic electrolysis for more information.








12 years and over 15,000 hours of working experience with particularly difficult hair cases


In over 15,000 hours of working experience with difficult hair, I have cleared numerous faces without any marks, scars or premature aging. Not one client who ever started with me has had the need for dermabrasion or laser-peel. Their skin remains as flawless as if there had never been hair in the first place. I think it is worth noting here that my work has even drawn rave reviews from well-known plastic surgeons who formerly referred clients to a flash thermolysis operator. Needless to say, my genital clearings have also drawn kudos from almost every major SRS surgeon in the business.

Today, my clientele possesses a wide variety of hair problems and literally, there is no place that hair can grow that I have not gone. My reputation is growing nicely with people from all nationalities and backgrounds seeking treatments.






25 years experience in electrical, power, and communications fields


For 25 years, I wired things, made them run and saw them light up, From residential/commercial electrical work, to automotive, to telephone and sound system work, it was difficult to find that my own transition had become a threat to my livelihood, much less, my sense of achievement.

BUT, I want to go on to say here that I have never stopped saying a silent "thank you" to those powers and those clients who have offered me a chance to do what I do so well. Some of my triumphs have been far greater than anything I would have thought possible. During my darkest days in 1992, I wondered how I would ever survive all of this. Today, I have a professional reputation that I cherish, a home in Santa Clara, and friends and clients from all over the world.
