Discover the inspiring story behind HairFree4Me — San Antonio’s trusted electrolysis studio with roots dating back to 1976. In this video, we share our multigenerational journey in permanent hair removal, beginning with founder Maryellen, her training in New York City, and the growth of our family-operated practice across nearly five decades.

San Antonio’s Longest-running Permanent Hair Removal Services — Since 1976

For nearly five decades, our electrologists have helped people feel at home in their bodies through permanent hair removal. We welcome women, men, elders, teens, and gender-diverse clients into a calm and respectful environment.

The spirit of HairFree4Me began with Maryellen, our founder, teacher, and guiding light. Although she passed in 2024, her influence continues to shape our work every day.

Our Approach

Precision, Safety & Genuine Care

At HairFree4Me, we believe permanent hair removal should be both effective and respectful of your body. We focus on precision rather than speed. Each insertion is done with care, so that treatments support long-term permanency instead of quick, temporary results.

Comfort and safety are central to our work. We use high-quality equipment and single-use, sterile probes. Our instruments are professionally sterilized, and all treatment surfaces are carefully disinfected. Fresh table paper, disposable gloves, and strict hygiene protocols are part of every appointment.

The treatment room itself is quiet and peaceful. Soft music and a relaxed atmosphere help sessions feel more like self-care than a medical procedure. Many clients say they leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more hopeful than when they arrived.

Most of all, we listen. Every body and every story is different. We adjust settings to your comfort level, explain your options, and walk with you through the process at a pace that feels right.

HairFree4Me is a family-rooted practice shaped by skill, kindness, and nearly fifty years of service. Audrey leads the clinic with a calm, uplifting presence and a steady, precise technique. Clients appreciate her ability to make treatments both effective and deeply supportive.

Our newest team member, Monique, shares the same attentive, heart-centered style — offering patience, warmth, and a genuine desire to help people feel confident in their own skin.

HairFree4Me began with Maryellen, who entered the field of permanent hair removal at age nineteen. When her own electrologist decided to close and change careers, Maryellen chose to step in. She traveled to New York City for formal training in electrolysis and soon opened her own practice.

Her early work helped pay her way through college. After graduating, she realized that her true passion was not jewelry design, but helping people feel confident in their skin. She continued to refine her techniques and built a loyal client base over many years.

In time, HairFree4Me became known as a warm, effective, and honest place for permanent hair removal in San Antonio. Clients trusted Maryellen not only for her skill, but for her gentle presence and supportive conversations.

Today, her daughter Audrey owns and leads HairFree4Me. Every electrologist on the team has been trained in Maryellen’s approach. The legacy continues: careful technique, top-quality equipment, and genuine kindness in every treatment.

Client Testimonials

  • “HairFree4Me has accomplished more in just three electrolysis treatments than my last electrologist in San Antonio accomplished in three years. You change lives here.”

    —Terri B., San Antonio, Texas

  • “This was my first time to have any electrolysis treatment. I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out. It stung a little, but I guess that’s normal. Maryellen is a jewel — so pleasant and informative. She made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend HairFree4Me.”

    —Kate R., San Antonio, Texas

  • “I had electrolysis for eight years at another place in San Antonio. I never saw results. I came to Maryellen for one treatment and the hair has not come back. It has been three months now and the hair has stayed away. I wasted eight years at the other place.”

    —Jennie C., San Antonio, Texas

  • “Having had a prior electrolysis experience a few years back, I was very pleasantly surprised. I didn’t realize my previous experience was not so great until Jamie took care of me. She was very professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back.”

    —Lori P., San Antonio, Texas

  • “This is the best place I’ve ever been. Maryellen is very professional, patient, and friendly. They make you feel like a friend and part of their family. The results are great. As a darker-skinned woman, I knew I could not do laser on my face due to scarring. This is great, my results are awesome and I am so happy. I recommend HairFree4Me 100%.”

    —Margie H., San Antonio, Texas

  • “HairFree4Me makes me feel like I’m part of the family. They have the charm and poise of all Texas and the graciousness of all south.”
