About Shelly Hermkens

I have been interested in electrolysis since 1987. I trained and became a certified Electrologist in 1993 and joined two industry associations: PSPE and COPE. In the same year, I began to work for a small spa on Young Street that offered massage, nails, facials, pedicures, and electrolysis.

Months later, I decided to buy my own equipment and rented a small space in a hair salon in Chilliwack. In 1995, I moved my practice to my home where I was able to build a serene studio that best suited my clients’ needs.

In 2003, I trained in the use of laser for hair removal and vein treatment and have been thrilled with its capabilities and results. From there, I became interested in skin care and age-defying treatments where I conducted research on the different modalities available to rejuvenate the skin.

Looking for a treatment that was natural and worked hand in hand seamlessly with the body, I found the microcurrent therapy would do just that. Its anti-aging, body contouring and healing properties are just some of the benefits I am now able to offer my clients.
