Global Electrolysis Supply (WARNING!)

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.

Update: Due to the high number of reports from angry customers, I have been getting lots of new information, including step-by-step accounts of how they will rip you off. I’ve expanded this section to over a dozen pages, including full text of their hard-to-find disclaimer. Just click on a link below for more information.

Various company names

To keep a step ahead of unhappy consumers and bad publicity, Global Electrolysis Supply has changed names many times in recent years and has had many associated companies as distributors:

Bogus “offices”

Despite the doctored photo of the Global Electrolysis Supply bogus “offices” on their company info page, the addresses they had listed are really just a series of phone numbers and postal drop boxes all over North America and Europe.
