This disreputable company markets extensively on the web and through a mail-order catalog. Their slogan, “the most respected name in epilation cosmetology,” couldn’t be much further from the truth.
Global Electrolysis Supply should be avoided by all consumers.
2002 update: Due to the high number of reports from angry customers, I have been getting lots of new information. I’ve expanded this section to over a dozen pages. Just click on a link below for more information.

To keep a step ahead of unhappy consumers and bad publicity, Global Electrolysis Supply has changed names many names in recent years:
