International Beauty Center - Austin, Texas

Not professional. I do not recommend, waste of time. Ella cambiará tu cita, no dará ningún aviso. No pierdas tiempo, busca otra opción m. Tengo pruebas de lo que digo.

Mi experiencia con Internacional Beauty Center ha sido inmejorable. Tras varios años de probar distintos centros y distintos tratamientos en España y en Austin, ha sido aquí dónde al fin he conseguido la solución al problema del vello. El láser, en lugar de ayudarme, agravó mi problema. La electrólisis en otros centros me provocó marcas y heridas de quemaduras. Le estoy muy agradecida a Cristina. Es una gran profesional. Ha conseguido que el vello desaparezca sin dejar ninguna marca. La recomiendo al 100%. Es extraordinaria.

Cristina is absolutely exceptional at what she does! I started seeing her after years of laser hair removal when I suddenly started experiencing thicker and denser hair growth.

Cristina’s impeccable knowledge, professionalism and bedside manner made trusting her to help remedy a frustrating situation, easy and effortless. I highly recommend her for any service she provides now or in the future!

I received electrolysis hair removal from both Cris and Genesis (mostly Genesis) over the course of about a year or so. Initially, the appointments were quite dense as I had a lot of hair, but after a few months they reduced to every 4 weeks or so.

Overall, I am happy with the results of the hair removal. I was able to get the coverage I needed and will likely go back for future appointments as they're the closest practice to where I live.

A few comments, though:
- The numbing injections can be expensive, especially if you're resistant / non-responsive to a particular kind of numbing. I had this happen where some sessions were incredibly painful and I ended up needing nearly 10 shots over a 2 hour session. At $10 a shot, that quickly shot the price up.
- Ask your PCP for prescription numbing cream. It will help a bit, and especially so with the numbing injections.
- Given the above, if you can travel, I have heard of a place in Dallas that does not charge for numbing injections. (Or, at least, doesn't charge separately. I believe the place was E3K?) I know some people who set up long sessions and will travel from Austin to Dallas due to the faster coverage and free numbing injections.
- Either way, staying hydrated, moisturized, and avoiding caffeine will all help with the process. The sessions I forgot to stop caffeine a few days in advance were the more painful ones.

In the end, IBC does good work. I'd recommend the place to anyone looking for electrolysis specifically in Austin.

I initially found Cris because I was looking for an electrologist and she was located close to home - the convenience was a real perk. But now I would be willing to travel long distances to receive her services! She's professional, meticulous, and most importantly, her work speaks for itself. I've never had results like these before! I've moved on from electrolysis to try other treatments and the results have been AMAZING. I'm so thankful she just happened to be nearby, because she's incredible at what she does!

Ive been struggling for years to find someone to help me with my unwanted hair. Cris is so knowledgeable and professional. She explained to me that my previous laser hair removal was not permanent and that electrolysis would be permanent. Cris gave me proper pre treatment and post treatment instructions, she gave me detailed directions on how to find her location, and she lets me relax while she does her craft. I’m so excited to have found Cris. She truly cares and understands how unwanted hair can mess with one’s confidence. I even have my husband seeing Cris.-)

It has been almost one year since my starting treatments with Cristina, and "satisfied" would be an understatement of how grateful I am for having met her!

At the onset of our first session, I got the sense that I would be in good hands, as she listened intently, provided feedback where applicable, then put into motion her expertise through solid technique and attention to detail. By the end of that session, it was evident that I was in great hands!

Competency and efficiency are what matter most to me, and Cristina has them in spades. Additionally, she creates a comfortable ambiance at her working station, and overall, the studio is calm and well-maintained.

If you are looking for high-quality, no-nonsense experiences, I implore you to give Cristina a call. I HIGHLY recommend!
