Hi there, welcome to Jereth Meert. Here you will find news and reviews left by my loyal visitors!
Daytime Goodness05 October 2025
Would you like to uphold a better skincare routine but just cannot make the effort at night? Then consider product containing copper peptides! These (small chains of amino accids) can be used during daytime whilst still giving you an ideal at-home treatment for scar healing, anti aging and collagen production. My favourite at this moment is the serum by Theramid which contains a full 16% of usefull peptides of which 3% is copper. I don't carry many in stock, so be sure to ask me when you visit!
Just a Couple of Minutes14 September 2025
If you're searching for a skin tag removal practitioner in Brussels, look no further! Skin tags (a.k.a. acrochordons), are small benign growths of skin that often appear as soft, flesh-colored or slightly darker bumps attached to the body by a narrow stalk. As one of my many cosmedical skin improvement skills: advanced electrolysis techniques can remove these for you in a non invasive way, with no scarring, reappearance or regrowth, just a little crust that will take a few days to a week to heal.
Festival Picture24 August 2025
I have piercings; in my lips, tongue, ears and bellybutton. I think this is rather accepted these days and even consider getting more. However, at salons I previously worked at, I had to take them out as "not to offend the customers"… I only ask you to take piercings out when it hinders your treatment. Metal conducts electricity and heat, so laser and electrolysis could be dangerous when working in proximity to them. Best keep this in mind when you get a new one you have to leave in for a few months!
No Pain, No Gain?03 August 2025
Electrolysis is not for the most sensitive among us. Depending on the region and the thickness of the hair, we will apply a current of 8-12 seconds to your hair root. This feels similar to a wasp sting, a pain that gradually appears, builds stronger, and ultimately leaves a feeling of swelling; and this for each and every treated hair. What helps is a good night's sleep, painkillers, or a numbing lidocaine cream, but you need to obtain this through your general practitioner and apply it beforehand.
However...
That said, I am aware of the existence of a new generation of flash thermolysis machines that can achieve similar results in a fraction of the time (and thus also sensitivity). I have already been able to first hand experience these techniques and will most definitely consider incorporating one into my business in the future, if my budget allows for it and there is sufficient interest, but then we are talking about a very different price range of treatments than those I currently offer
Laser Contraindications13 July 2025
Regardless of sex, skin color, hair type, or age anyone can undergo laser hair removal, however, there are situations in which treatments should not proceed. The first and foremost is when you are taking medication that affects your body's sensitivity to light, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, (ro)accutane, and cortisones. Furthermore, I cannot run the laser over tattoos, sunburned, inflamed or infected skin, and is pregnancy a period during which we must interrupt your sessions.
Precision work22 June 2025
Perhaps not a pleasant photo for sensitive eyes, yet still a harsh reality for some: extreme callus buildup on the foot, unfortunately often with causes that are hereditary and chronic. My patient shows deep cloves that have formed in just a few months and bring a lot of discomfort. This cannot be removed with a simple callus rasp, so I will carefully cut away the dry dead skin with a medical scalpel; otherwise, the healthy skin underneath could tear and cause very painful inflammations later.
Great News!01 June 2025
I managed to acquire a space on the (Knaapenstraat) side of my building to be used for parking! Now my clients who come by car can place it here for FREE for the duration of their appointment. (Provided nobody else has parked there yet, but chances are slim as most of my clientele takes public transport) Granted, it still needs a bit of sprucing up and a good trim around the hedges, but free parking, in Schaarbeek! How nice is that for an up-and-coming beauty practice in the capital?
Safety First11 May 2025
An ICE laser is a dangerous machine, and so it is utmost important to at all time wear glasses that filter out light between 800 and 1100 nm. It's fair to say that someone who flashes without has no clue what they're doing, as a stray beam may reflect off the walls and hit any target it can find, so eye protection should be your first concern when choosing a technician for hair removal. Know that if you visit me, I am well prepared and even have extra sets for friends, partners or parents who tag along.
Sebum Removal20 April 2025
Sebum buildup can be a bothersome thing as we often only notice its presence in later stages like sebaceous filaments, comedones, rough skin texture and enlarged pores. So even when taking great care of your skin, like my client shown here, it is still good to have a facial from time to time to remove excess sebum before it becomes an issue. Moreover it greatly reduces our skin's ability to take up active ingredients, which is why I include this service in any facial treatment you book with me.
Summertime/Wintertime30 March 2025
Any time is sunscreen time, so may the change of hour be a reminder not to wait for the rays to hit before applying yours! There is after all no step more important in keeping your skin young, no matter whether it is warm or cold outside. My favourites at the moment are the lightweight and invisible sunscreens by transparent lab, which both provide pristine protection and perfect nourishment whilst being water/sweat resistant, non pilling and fragrance+alcohol free. What more could you wish for?
My Formation (part one)09 March 2025
I always knew I wanted to be a beautician, so I started my education at 14 years old, doing 4 years of Bio-esthetics and Beautycare at TechniGo Aalst where I studied everything there is to know about skin, the body and how to maintain it. This I followed with an orientation year focused on alternative techniques, stage+film makeup and how to run one's own salon, culminating in a full fledged internship at the Mercure Resort Frejus (Cote Azur 🇫🇷 ) where I learnt advanced wellness therapies and... French!
My Formation (part two)
I then spent the following years working in high end Belgian salons, one specialized in nail art, one in medical pedicures and one in men's wellness, meanwhile taking extensive courses in skin rejuvenation, microneedling, chemical peeling, marketing & base economics before finally schooling myself to become a specialist in permanent hair removal (laser, IPL and electrolysis) at which point I purchased my machines and started this business making 9 years of formation and I’m still learning every day
Sturdy, sharp and durable16 February 2025
Quality equipment makes all the difference. One of my favourite stands at aesthetics fairs is therefore invariably that of Belgian company Stalena where I am slowly converting all my starter level working tools to their handmade diamond-cut surgical steel range, the highest standard for electrolysis tweezers, e-file bits, pedicure pliers with great suspension (also suitable for diabetics) and above all without any colour or plastic coating, ensuring everything is 100% sterilisable at all times.
Going with the Flow26 January 2025
Whether you're coming to Schaarbeek for electrolysis epilation, laser hair removal or facial treatments, sometimes it is preferable to plan ahead, especially when by car. Heading from the west, apps like Maps or Waze tend to direct you straight through downtown Brussels, which I strongly advise you avoid. With the E40 exit just 100m from my door, taking the ring R0 will always be the better option, unless of course you enjoy spending your extra time admiring our gorgeous capital
New Year, New Pictures05 January 2025
What to do on a rainy day with some free hours? Taking photos for my website! This way you can immediately see a friendly face on the About page and have an idea what my salon looks like! Following my strategy of portraying honesty in a sector full of stock images and manipulated results, I wanted these to also be clear and uncompromising. So after a few hours of shooting I had a nice batch of photos of myself (and my fabulous new KEN Hair Design) to use on my socials and this website!
Beard Progess15 December 2024
When I first got my laser, I treated my beard in three sessions, then I did nothing for three months, just to see what the result would be and if the hairs would stay away. After witnessing them fall out one by one I decided to regrow it for a bit so I could have a better look and film the result under the ring light. VIEW THE VIDEO! Coming from a full beard (the hardest zone to laser) my cheeks and neck are now mostly hairless while other areas grow slower and are severely thinned out. To Be Continued!
Rich and Natural24 November 2024
If there's one product I worked with in previous salons of which I knew I would for certain use it when I started my own it would be the award winning Intensive Raspberry Oil by Body&Bess. Full of unsaturated fatty acids, natural anti-oxidants and vitamins A+E this more than 60% pure raspberry seed oil is tremendously helpful combatting skin irritations (psoriasis!) and highly suitable for use in my treatments. Moreover, this rich oil with pleasant scent can be purchased from me for home care!
My Expertise02 November 2024
Marvelous! Lamano Skin Experts, one of the most beautiful institutes in the country, has hired me to strengthen their team two days a week. Here I will be largely performing treatments for men, but also my famous deep tissue massages, placing gel nails and doing facial treatments, the latter with products by none other than skincare pioneer Germaine de Capuccini! What a wonderful addition to my own salon this is, and thus I am now extremely motivated to welcome you as well in Lennik!
Vacation Photo13 October 2024
Proper footcare for men is often overlooked, seen as an extravagance or something womanly that 'a real man' would never spend money on. But this wasn't always so, at least shows this ancient bronze statue of a Greek athlete found in Delphi last century. Dated 2500 years old, this votive taught me that male charioteers had feet that looked exactly like I finish them on customers. Pedicures are a hygienic necessity, for both the ancients and for the male ego, currently walking around in pain.
Ear to Ear22 September 2024
Ear hair often emerges at a later age when many of them are already grey. This means that unless you start early enough, laser hair removal will have little or no effect. But besides plucking them with tweezers or applying wax epilation for the rest of your life, electrolysis can remove them permanently in just a few, albeit lengthy, sessions. Following this procedure, each hair is targeted individually with an electric needle, and after a good 30 minutes per ear, many of these will be gone forever!
New Table01 September 2024
This week I decided to replace my old student level massage table with a newer and far more sturdy model that can support my treatments and clients for years to come. Still quite far from the dream table I envision, but definitely a step into the right direction, this non shaking design by the dutch company ZenGrowth features a heavy duty wooden frame with three layers of carefoam padding for extra comfort and this in the color beige so there can be no possible interaction with laser flashes.
Reviews Imported11 August 2024
Reviews are great indicator for telling prospective customers which business is right for them and what the quality of service is they can expect somewhere. Having worked in a few salons before starting my own I am happy I have now managed to bundle some of the references given to me over their various booking platforms onto this website. Moreover, my business in now listed on Google, where you, my lovely visitors can leave your own remarks and see them appear here as well!
In Training21 July 2024
Over the past weeks I have been following an in depth training course with the Belgian firm Jovilux, where I have now successfully passed my exam and will soon be certified as a professional electrolysist. It's quite enjoyable to remove hair by hair with a needle in this way! Although it does become a bit tiring on the eyes after a few hours. But being able to now permanently remove white, gray and down hair is a tremendous addition to my growing salon, which I am so proud of.
Flash Heads30 June 2024
Why are IPL treatments so expensive? Because the material is too. In addition to the high purchase price, this technology works with flash heads. These can deliver a fixed number of flashes, after which the lamp must be completely replaced. Since I maintain four (Skin Improvement, Acne, and two for hair removal), this is quite something to keep track of. But the result of the treatments is absolutely worth it, especially if it concerns a high-quality machine such as my Energist VPL.
Photography09 June 2024
Now that most of the texts for this website are written, I can start by adding pictures. For this I chose to not use stock photos bought from some online source; but have them taken of me, in my salon doing the actual work on real people. This might take some time, so a lot of them will be missing for a while, but I believe the end result will best reflect the straightforward and honest approach I wish to keep up, starting with one of none other than my dear mother receiving her facial.
Out Advertising19 May 2024
Yesterday I visited Brussels Pride festival - my first edition as a local business owner - meeting with age old friends and new acquaintances, trying to make up for the constantly changing weather conditions with my own colourful disposition I figured: what better way of spreading some love than by handing out treatment discount coupons to cool looking visitors, which was received to much delight. Hoping to see many new faces in the appointments!
Professional Attire28 April 2024
Comfort is of major importance whilst doing a job, so today I visited Beroepskleding Landuyt to have a look at their grand selection of carer coats and tunics to find the ones that fit me best and allow me to move unhindered during treatments. Such an amazing and dedicated service they have guiding their customers to find the perfect fit and soon delivering my selected models with my logo embroidered on them!
First Results07 April 2024
Meanwhile I've completed my Coolskin training course and I just got to see pictures of the model I worked on. Not only did he feel no pain thanks to the ICE laser's advanced cooling system, but one can already see clear patches of skin where the hairs are permanently gone, and this after just one session! I have worked with diode lasers before, but the results with this one are truly remarkable.
Shopping Around18 March 2024
Today I visited Estetika, the biannual convention expo for skin care professionals in Brussels. With wholesale suppliers and fabricants showcasing the newest technology from all over the world, I managed to chose the select brands I want to go forward with: from products to use in treatments to excellent machines and services that I will soon offer to my customers.
Found my Laser06 March 2024
I went in for a demo with Lamano cosmetics today to test their groundbreaking new cooled Diode laser system called Coolskin, which I had my eye on for a while. To put their claims to the test I had my neckline treated and indeed the experience was completely pain free. After months of reasearch and comparing, I am happy to announce I have finally found my laser system!
Launch Successful!21 February 2024
It's quite an adventure to be starting on my own, but now that the website and booking system are online I can happily welcome you all to try out my new treatments.Come and visit me at my home in Schaarbeek (until a more suitable location is set) and experience what I have on offer!
