 Welcome to the Cabaret

If you have visited the Cabaret over the years, you'll notice my site receiving a long needed update.

The site will now be offering resource lists that may be of help during your transition.  The first list is comprised of electrologists practicing in the USA, and is fully sortable (e.g., quickly find electrologists near you.).

The older content, articles and posts that really didn't need to change very much, is still available for those who have linked to specific pages. A few pages are listed below.  See: Links

A news feed which updates daily has also been added.

If you are looking for other resources, please check back again as I will be adding more lists and features.

Thanks for visiting!
