International Beauty Center

Cris has worked on my face for years and is the only person I would ever go to. I have hormone issues so once we take care of one issue another area on my face pops up. She is detail oriented, meticulous in cleaning, and overall very very good at what she does.

Excellent! Cristina works with all hair types - as a Black-American with very curly hair that leads to ingrowns, her expertise is vital. I'm pleased to say she's exceeded my expectations - I saw great results after just one appointment! She's very well researched, accommodating and professional with decades of experience catering to ALL clients, so if you're going to invest in these treatments International Beauty is the place to start. I'm definitely coming back.

My experience at IBC has been fantastic! The electrologists here are not only very knowledgeable and experienced, but are kind, compassionate, and truly work with you to meet your needs. I've been seeing Cris and Alicia for about 8 months and in that time, there's now significantly less hair in the area I had treated. I highly recommend IBC for electrolysis!

I wanted to start off by saying that when I first started coming here is when I first tried electrolysis to begin with. So I was going into treatments with no experience or knowledge on how its supposed to feel/heal. But now that Ive moved out of state and have been able to try a new electrolysis office I can assure you international beauty center isnt the place to go to (I cant speak for Chris as Im sure her work is amazing considering the amount of support she receives, but the other electrologist seem a little inexperienced). I ended up receiving several treatments over the course of a couple months here. I did not see even the slightest bit of a change in hair growth or its density. After my first couple treatments I was asked if it hurt and I said that it didnt hurt it felt more like my hair was getting plucked (not knowing how it is actually supposed to feel I thought that was a normal thing youre supposed to feel). I was told it was because my hair beds were too dry so the current wasnt able to cauterize the follicle correctly. Which seemed strange to me because I moisturize my face multiple times every day and stay hydrated always. She raised the settings where I was still feeling the plucking sensation but also an extreme burning sensation from the current. It was just a way stronger current and my face recovery after showed that. After that appointment I was canceled on and told to try another electrologist that worked that day. She didnt give him the setting she was using on me so he I guess did what he felt was necessary. His settings seemed 100x higher than what the girl used on me it had to have been the most painful hour of electrolysis Ive had to date. But I didnt feel a single hair pluck sensation. My face was swollen and was covered in pus sores for over a week after that appointment. Im truly glad I didnt end up with permanent craters in my face because Ive heard horror stories. I tried the original girl I booked with one last time and she kept making calls in between my appointment which I think took up some of my time I paid for which is strange? Still felt the plucking sensation. Saw 0 results. I thought it was somehow my fault because of how thick my hair was. I felt like I would never be able to fix it. I moved to California shortly after and recently restarted my electrolysis journey because my hair honestly seemed worse than it did before I started electrolysis in Texas. Im only 3 treatments in compared to several months of treatment here. The settings used on me arent unbearably painful Im not leaving with a swollen sored up pus face that lasts over a week. I dont feel any plucking sensation and when I do very rarely she notices it herself and is very apologetic (which to me tells me a lot about my past experiences). If theres a hair that doesnt just slip out she reinserts and reapplies the current until it releases. She doesnt just pull it out. Its been 2 weeks since my last treatment and I have almost no hair growth and the shots that do grow are so much thinner than before. (Again only 3 treatments in) Its not about using the highest power to get results faster its about proper placement of the needle into the follicle for the current to line up and properly cauterize it. After this experience I feel like I was paying someone a lot of unnecessary money to do what I couldve done at home myself. Pluck my hair and make the situation worse. Also not related to this practice what so ever, but during my first treatment here the electrologist got a call from the police department because her son had sent around some girls nudes from school. (Lots of phone calls during every treatment) She was venting to me about how it wasnt fair because "its not like the girl is innocent why was she even sending those photos". Strange.
