About
Hi! I’m Josie, your new Fort Collins electrologist!
I became passionate about electrology the same way most do; experiencing the magic of never again having to shave, pluck, wax, depilate, burn, or otherwise beat back those damn hairs! I know personally how life-changing it can be to never have to worry about stubble or stray hairs again.
I combine the training I received over 400 hours at the California Electrology Academy with my unique personal and professional experience to provide the highest quality hair removal available in a space that is comfortable inclusive, and accessible. Read on below to find out what makes Plucky Cat the premier electrolysis clinic in Northern Colorado.
What Makes me Different
Registered nurse
In my view, electrolysis is a medical treatment and it should be treated as one. As a registered nurse, I strive to hold my electrolysis practice to the same standards of quality, safety, and hygiene as any other medical procedure. My background as an RN provides me with the advanced understanding of infection control, wound care, and complicating health factors needed to hold electrolysis to this standard.
Trans owned and operated
I opened my office because I wanted to provide a resource my community was lacking. I believe that the best trans care is delivered by trans people themselves. If you feel the same, then whether you’re zapping an entire beard away or prepping for bottom surgery, I’m your girl.
Accessibility
There is a ground-level entrance to my office, an accessible bathroom on the same floor, and my table is ADA-compliant. As a nurse, I also have plenty of experience assisting those with limited mobility. I also keep my office stocked with stim toys and a weighted blanket, and am happy to accommodate silent or low-stimulation appointments. Accessibility is important to me, so please don’t hesitate if there are any areas I can improve!
Advanced Technology
My electrolysis machine is the most modern, advanced machine on the market today. With a dozen modalities to choose from and 27.12 MHz at my fingertips, I’m able to offer you the gentlest and most effective hair removal out there. I also use (and sell!) high-quality skincare products formulated specifically to help your skin prepare for and recover from hair removal treatments.
I take clean seriously
All of my electrolysis probes come in sterile, single-use packaging. Any implements that come in contact with your skin, such as tweezers and electrodes, are sterilized in an FDA-approved and regularly-tested autoclave. Finally, anything that can’t go in the autoclave gets wiped down with a hospital-grade antiseptic between each appointment.
