Zap Daddy was founded to raise the bar for permanent hair removal in New York

The highest quality equipment Every treatment uses a state-of-the-art machine capable of all three electrolysis modalities, surgical-grade optics for maximum precision, and sterilization practices that meet hospital standards - well exceeding what New York State requires. We use the best equipment available to ensure the best possible results for our clients.


A beautiful space A well-designed space calms your nervous system, which means less anxiety and less pain. You deserve better than a fluorescent-lit back room, and we've put real thought into making this a place you actually want to be. Come early and have a cup of tea before your appointment!


Built for every body The treatment table adjusts to accommodate different bodies and is rated for 600 pounds. We're attentive to sensory needs and happy to adjust the lighting, sound, or pace to make your experience as comfortable as possible. If you have specific access needs, just let us know - we'll figure it out together.


You'll always know what's happening Electrolysis can feel mysterious and a little scary, especially at first. I want you to understand exactly what's happening and why - how the treatment works, what to expect from the process, and how we'll know it's working. Informed clients get better results, and you have the right to understand your own care.


Built with queer and trans clients in mind Everyone is welcome here, and we've thought specifically about the needs of queer and trans clients. If you have a surgery date you're working toward, we'll prioritize your scheduling to make sure you're ready. You won't have to explain yourself or educate your provider.
