About

Hey there! I’m Heather, writer at Epilator Authority.

In my late teens, I became concerned about my ecological footprint and the waste I created in my day-to-day life. So I began exploring ways to reduce waste and live a greener lifestyle.

I started with what I ate and then moved on to other parts of my lifestyle. When I got to beauty, most stuff was a no-brainer. I didn’t really wear makeup or use hair styling products, so no need to make changes there.

However, I did remove body hair. And I was using disposable razors at the time, which were costing me lots of money and creating a lot of unnecessary waste.

I switched to safety razors for a while and that seemed to be going well. But then I stumbled upon these weird contraptions called epilators.

I liked that they combined the benefits of waxing, had the cost advantages of safety razors, and created zero waste.

On Epilator Authority, I share my epilator experiences to help people make better and greener hair removal decisions.

Besides my epilator experience, I’ve removed hair from every part of my body, down to a buzz cut on my head during an adventurous/crazy phase of my life (channeling Britney, I guess).

I’ve tried most hair removal methods in the past, from waxing at home and the salon to hair removal creams to lady trimmers. So I take what I’ve learned from those experiences as well when writing here. 

Professionally, I’ve been a freelance writer for over a decade, specializing in the spa, wellness, and beauty niches. I’ve also worked for years in a brick and mortar business in the spa industry. I geek out on researching wellness and beauty topics and love sharing this knowledge with other women.
