Forged from Genuine Need

Jade Clinics was built upon a passion for hair-free living

The Jade Story

While still a teenager, Jennifer Desloges, the founder of Jade Clinics, suffered the deeply embarrassing issue of growing thick body hair, including a beard. This was caused by PCOS, a medical condition shared by an estimated five million women in North America. She began tweezing the hairs, not realizing that this would make the hair even thicker. Later she turned to shaving constantly in order to keep the hair at bay. The hair continued to grow, threatening her happiness like a life-long curse.

For eight long years, she struggled to hide her problem. If she was talking to someone and their eyes moved to her chin, her anxiety would be off the scale. She developed the nervous habit of constantly covering her face with her hands.

In 1989, Jennifer read a newspaper ad about becoming an electrologist. Encouraged by the fact that such a career would allow her to get treatments for herself, she felt she had nothing to lose.

Over the next few months, she spent more time being treated than treating others. She even treated herself! Those years not only taught her how to perform expert electrolysis, they gave her a deep appreciation for the life-changing impact it could have on those suffering from the stigma of unwanted body hair. She learned that hair-free living was possible, and that it offers a joyful freedom she had never imagined in those dark years.

Through the process Jennifer went through, Jade Clinics was born to give this same hope to countless others.
