Sandra's story:
The path that led to becoming an electrologist
In 1984, I embarked on a transformative path to become an electrologist, marking a significant shift in my career trajectory. Prior to this, I had earned a bachelor's degree in Food Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia, emphasizing science courses that fueled my initial career goal as a medical laboratory technologist. Later, I ventured into quality control management, contributing my skills to two food processing companies.
​
Life took an unexpected turn when I noticed the emergence of chin hair, a development I either downplayed or managed with tweezers. The significance of this change became evident during my tenure in a food processing plant when a union steward, perhaps inadvertently, suggested the necessity of a beard cover. While initially hurtful, this comment served as a catalyst, pushing me to confront and address my facial hair concerns.
​
Promptly, I embarked on a journey of electrolysis treatments. This decision not only brought my facial hair under control but also presented a life-altering opportunity for a career change. Transitioning into the role of an electrologist, I found fulfillment in helping thousands of clients over the years who, like me, understood the distress caused by excess facial hair.
​
My story underscores the profound impact that challenges can have on one's life journey, leading to unexpected but rewarding transformations.
