Care built on experience.
Our Story
For more than 35 years, this practice served the Annapolis community as Ruth Allen & Associates, built on integrity, expertise, and a deep commitment to patient care.
When the time came to carry that work forward, the owner of Ruth Allen & Associates entrusted the future of the practice to Heidi Smith, a decision grounded in shared values, professional respect, and confidence in her care.
Smith Electrology is honored to continue this legacy.
While the name has evolved, the foundation remains the same: thoughtful treatment, honest guidance, and lasting results. Every client is welcomed into a calm, professional, and deeply respectful space, because permanent hair removal is personal, and trust matters.

Her care is thoughtful and meticulous. Treatments are never rushed, communication stays open, and progress is approached with patience and intention.
Understanding
Electrology
What Sets Us Apart
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses a fine probe and controlled electrical current to destroy the hair follicle at its base. Once destroyed, a follicle cannot produce hair again. It is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal.
Because hair grows in cycles, electrology is performed over a series of treatments. It does not rely on pigment, making it effective for all hair colors, all skin tones, and any area of the body, including areas laser cannot treat. At Smith Electrology, clients are guided through the process with clear expectations and ongoing care.
A Thoughtful Consultation
Your first visit begins with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals, hair growth patterns, and comfort level. You’ll have space to ask questions and learn exactly what electrolysis involves.
Personalized Treatment
Each session is tailored specifically to you. Treatments are never rushed, and Heidi works with precision and care to ensure comfort while delivering effective, permanent results.
