The A. R. Hinkel Co. Today

William A. Schuler, who had worked with Arthur Hinkel since 1972, purchased the A. R. Hinkel Company in 1984. Over the years, the business has expanded by utilizing schools as distribution points for the epilators.

The past decade has seen the company expand into the international marketplace with distributors in Canada, Europe, the far east, and Australia. Now, through the facilities of the World Wide Web, A. R. Hinkel Company is opening new vistas into many more markets around the globe.

Since 1948 the Hinkel name has been synonymous with innovation in the industry. From Arthur Hinkel's famous Wilshire School, to his widely used text, "Electrolysis, Thermolysis, and the Blend," his legacy has remained a constant in the field and an inspiration for a new generation of Hinkel brand epilators. Whether you choose our top-of-the-line UC-3+, the reliable UC-2, or the portable Classic epilator, you can be assured that years of experience and attention to detail go into everything we make.

Today, more and more electrologists are discovering the blend method as a more effective means of permanent hair removal. We know this. In fact, you might say that it takes years of experience to create an epilator that is as versatile as today's electrologist, while remaining simple and easy to use. Our equipment is backed by a comprehensive warranty and service program because we know your business depends on the reliability of your epilator. In other words, we'll be here when you need us -- just as we have been for over fifty years. So, when you think of blend epilation systems, just remember, there is only one Hinkel.
