About Agnes Kos

Agnes Kos is the owner of A Permanent Effect Electrolysis. She is a licensed Electrologist and a member of the American Electrology Association and the Electrology Association of Illinois. She studied Electrolysis at the Accurate Academy of Electrology in Hinsdale in 2015.

As a teenager, she struggled with excessive facial hair. She tried everything from tweezing and waxing to laser hair removal, but nothing worked.

Agnes decided to become a licensed Electrologist. After initially partnering with Marcy Shefler, the original founder and owner of A Permanent Effect Electrolysis, she eventually purchased the business and became the new owner. Her clients include men and women ranging from ages 10 to 80. Agnes specializes in facial and body hair removal and is dedicated to working with women with PCOS and other hormonal issues that cause excessive hair growth.

Agnes truly cares about her clients. She listens carefully to their desires for permanent hair removal and creates customized plans for optimal results. Agnes feels it’s an honor to help them achieve their permanent hair removal goals. Her professional approach and knowledge have helped her build wonderful relationships with her clients.
