When Josie Madden couldn't find nearby electrolysis services for herself, she didn't just settle for long drives to Boulder—she became the solution Fort Collins desperately needed. As a registered nurse and transgender woman, Josie brings unique medical expertise and personal understanding to Plucky Cat Electrolysis, a practice filling crucial gaps in permanent hair removal services across Northern Colorado.
"I try to treat electrolysis not just as an aesthetic treatment but a potentially life-altering medical procedure," Josie explains, highlighting the distinction that sets her practice apart. After completing intensive 400-hour training in California, she opened her doors in May with a mission to provide medically-informed, permanent hair removal in a genuinely welcoming environment.
Many listeners might not realize that electrolysis stands alone as the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal—not just reduction. Unlike laser treatments, which work best on dark hair with light skin, electrolysis effectively treats any hair color on any skin tone. This makes it particularly valuable for transgender clients preparing for gender-affirming surgeries, women with PCOS or hormonal changes, and anyone seeking truly permanent solutions.
What truly distinguishes Plucky Cat Electrolysis is Josie's commitment to creating an explicitly safe space where clients can feel comfortable during vulnerable procedures. Drawing strength from her own transition journey, she's built a practice where professional care meets genuine understanding. Whether you're seeking facial hair removal, surgery preparation, or treatment for any unwanted body hair, Josie puts it simply: "I'm your girl, I can get it."
