These women sometimes appear to have mustaches, a male trait, rather than a female trait. If a woman has had these facial hairs for a long period of time, and especially if these hairs developed during puberty, then they could have taken an emotional toll on the client.  Making sure that the client doesn’t expect a single hair removal treatment by electrolysis, laser or IPL to solve the problem is part of your job as a professional.  Because the laser or IPL treatment will work primarily on hairs in the growth stage, and not all hairs will be in that stage at the same time, and as such multiple treatments will be necessary.  Make the client aware of this limitation in the treatment to avoid undue expectations and problems.   (Side Note: If you want to learn more about advanced hair removal, you may want to read a recent blog post on the topic) [...] [...] As an example, some women have higher testosterone levels than others, and tend to have coarser, darker facial hair, especially in the upper lip area.
