Charlotte is amazing, she's so gentle and detail oriented. I can't say enough about this place, the prices are extremely reasonable and you're under good hands. read more

Eden Electrolysis is a fantastic and welcoming electrolysis studio. There are several technicians--and all use the latest technology to help with hair needs. Their scheduling is often booked months in advance due to just how good they are! I have had services done by Beatriz and Danae. Both are very patient, kind, empathetic, and go above & beyond to be extremely accommodating. Electrolysis is not always comfortable or pain-free (especially if doing a Brazilian). Both will be sensitive to your needs: some sessions are done quietly (if you happen to be meditating through the procedure) or can strike up conversation to drive your attention elsewhere from the pain. Pro tip: invest in prescription numbing cream. Apply generously an hour before your procedure and place a plastic wrap to protect the numbing cream from being displaced everywhere. Pain may still be present, but largely reduced. When your procedure is done, they use this extremely soothing healing gel. It's beyond nourishing. And it's my favorite part of the experience! They also use some healing electrode--I'm not absolutely sure what it does, but believe me, Eden Electrolysis cares fully about your procedure DURING and AFTER. What sets Eden Electrolysis apart is they are women operated & owned. They also serve the LGBTQ+ community, including for surgery preparation (they are very proud of this fact...it's one of their headlines on their website). And have the most insightful conversations. You really feel compleyely comfortable in their hands! The space has a window looking directly at the Evergreen Hills (Lick Observatory), if that's important to you. Whatever your goals are, Eden Electrolysis will consistently meet them head-on! read more

She is a professional with an office with great views! She did a great job on me and I have already recommended her to several family and friends. Her online scheduling and use of a passcode when you arrive for your appointment hands down, awesome! read more

I've been seeing Danae at Eden Electrolysis for over 10 years. She is amazing. The office is very clean and professional. All the girls are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. I do 2 hour appointments. I'm a very hairy guy, so I'll never run out of work. I've done full Brazilian boy shorts, back, arms, armpits, ears, neck, beard lines. Some places hurt more than others but using numbing cream beforehand really takes the edge off. Overall I've been completely happy with not only the hair removal but the atmosphere of the business. They make getting hairs zapped in embarrassing areas a totally comfortable and normal experience. Definitely 5 stars and I will always keep coming back. read more

I have been coming to Eden electrolysis for about seven months now. I have had a wonderful experience with Danae. She has been extremely attentive to detail, kind, and easy to work with. At the end of every session, they use a cooling gel that is extremely nourishing, and really shows that this team cares about my skin. I have been enthusiastically recommending Eden electrolysis to my friends for the last several months. Parking is pretty easy. There's plenty of residential parking nearby as well as metered/garage parking for when I'm in a pinch. I am grateful to have found Eden electrolysis, and will be coming back for more. read more

I am updating my review from when I first started coming here. Denae and Beatriz have been working on my eye brows and I have seen a huge difference. Worth every single penny. I wish I can take a before and after but it's knda hard since the hairs are so small. You will not be able to see it using my camera phone. I am so happy with the results. Do keep in mind this is a commitment. And you can't expect results from 1 or 2 treatments. It's working but the folicule sometimes take 1 to 2 times to vanish forever. Note: I like to tip the ladies they work very hard all day and I like to make them feel appreciated. read more

See all

I have to give 5 stars to Eden Electrolysis. As someone who has been working on hair removal for three years now...including other electrolysis centers, I have to say that Eden is probably the nicest with the newest equipment that I've been to. I regularly see either Beatriz or Danae, and not only are they extremely professional but they're also fun to talk to, which can make an electrolysis session go by that much faster. Pricing is right where I'd expect it to be, having paid both more and less elsewhere. They are also incredibly trans affirming for any girls looking for hair removal in the South Bay Area. I could not recommend them more! read more

This place is amazing. I found out about them through an online search a few years ago. I started my sessions back in the fall of 2010, when Charlotte was running Eden Electrolysis out of a small room in the Oddfellows building. I chose electrolysis after a lot of research. I know there are other technologies available, but electrolysis has been around for ages and is the only highly effective way that very thick and dark hair on people with pigmented skin can be removed permanently. My results have been fantastic. I had a lot of thick facial hair due to PCOS and it's nearly all gone. Needless to say my self confidence has increased and I'm no longer as self conscious about my face when I'm not wearing makeup. Both Charlotte and Danae are fantastic at what they do, and great people to boot. I cannot recommend this place enough. Doesn't matter if you're trans or cis, male or female, they will take great care of you and make sure you get the treatment that's right for you based on your skin and hair type. read more

I've been coming here for 6 months and Danae has been nothing short of amazing! She is so easy super sweet and her work is speaks for itself! She has made me feel comfortable since the very first appointment which is a plus in my book. read more

Danae is fabulous. I started electrolysis because I was growing a beard. I am now just going in for maintenance. I highly recommend!

TLTR: TECHNIQUE AND EXPERIENCE MATTERS FOR ELECTROLYSIS. Cheap doesn't always mean good. I came here because I was a bit uneducated and thought their prices were good but WARNING: they use thermolysis, lack technique, and that caused me bad pigmentation! Danae really amped up the settings because my hairs wouldn't come out and that caused my whole left armpit to have hyperpigmentation and circles with pus(abnormal). Charolette did my right armpit, on a lower setting so I had no hyperpigmentation or complications like my left, but I heard a lot of tweezing, meaning it was incorrectly done, and when I asked her about it, she said it because my hairs were brittle.. Because it was so poorly done, the hairs grew back the exact same within two weeks but I have so many ingrowns. I thought it was normal bc they told me my symptoms were normal and I shouldn't have high expectation. HOWEVER, because Eden was booked, I decided to try Freedom Electrolysis and they told me my results were not suppose to be like that and the technique Eden uses usually leads to hyperpigmentation. I had a total of 3.5 hours, and Charolette even told me I would need another 1.5 hours for full clearing.they already did not clear much, making an excuse I had a lot of hair, when I compared my case with many YouTube videos and other cases with other places where they said should've taken 1 hour/armpit. I know everyone is different but I'm an Asian with a case less severe than what I've watched. For how much hair I still had after all this time, the new place assumed I only had only one short appointment. I recommend Freedom Electrolysis and will be continuing to go there instead. It's pricier, but think about how many poorly done appointments you have to set with Eden for CLEARING to see results with the cost of ingrowns and hyperpigmentation. read more

Eden Electrolysis - Underarm after 2 hours. - Hair Removal Near Me - San Jose, California

I have been coming here since 2016 both Charlotte and Danae are amazing very professional, and kind! They worked on a really hard area, and I love the results. I was just going to start booking sessions for another area, and COVID hit. I'm hoping to soon see them both. If you're looking to get electrolysis done, this is the place. Highly highly recommend. read more

I was going to wait to review but on the other hand, for what?! I'm looking these services near me. After reading reviews I decided to try Eden. I emailed them about my questions mentioning my previous treatments, No answer. So I called after 2 days and lady on the phone didn't know anything. She took my number saying someone will return my call, but I didn't get any call. So I called again but the same thing happened. Finally, I booked consultation appointment to check it out. I interacted with Beatrice. She told me they use flash electrolysis which is faster and covers more surface on body. BUT when the area treated for 15 minutes was so tiny. She said it would take about an hour to treat the entire chin. My current practitioner only takes 10-12 minutes to treat the same area. I'm not sure what Beatrice did for 15 minutes and I'm certain that I can invest my time and money elsewhere to get effective returns. read more

I've done laser hair removal and waxing for years but I really wanted a more permanent result. If you are like me, check out Eden. Danae is amazing. At my consultation, she was very detailed in her explanation of the process, what to expect and made me feel super comfortable. It's a very relaxed and friendly environment- they do a lot of work with the transgender community. I've been back for several visits and will move on to other areas when my initial area is complete. Parking in the building garage can be challenging but not something that should keep you away. They do book at least a month out but last minute cancellations definitely happen. I would highly recommend their services. read more

I started with the free consultation and was extremely impressed with how much information they gave me on the process and how to care for your skin before and afterwards. The process is as painless as plucking a hair with tweezers. I've only had three sessions and I no longer feel the need to shave it's been about two weeks since I've seen them and all I have is peach fuzz left. They have saved me so much time plucking every morning as well as they've saved my skin because my skin is no longer red and irritated every day from plucking at it. Not to mention no more ingrown hairs. can't wait to start new body parts. Best bday present I ever gave myself. Plus the ladies are super friendly and are always having interesting conversations to join in on. I highly recommend visiting if u have ever considered hair removal. read more

So I have been hesitant in adding a review because, as I have told the girls before, they're already crazy booked and if I share how awesome they are, it'll get worse. But they just added a new tech so I think I'm safe!! Hahaha. I've been coming for the past 10 months for PCOS facial hair. Danae and Char are goddess-sends. I started with 2 one hour sessions a week, I'm now down to one and we are slowly bringing that down, but apparently I'm running out of hair!?! There is some pain involved. I mean you're getting each hair zapped. But drink lots of water, get a good nights rest and easy on the caffeine, it'll be fine. Now I'm used to it so I tend not to bother but I should probably be better to myself anyway. The girls make sure you're comfy and play relaxing music. I kind of treat it as my relax time and have been known to snooze from time to time during a session. Other times we just have and hour long gab session. Honestly I never thought there would be a solution to my hairy problem, but we stuck together and I'm feeling WAAAAY BETTER about my self. If you're on the fence, don't be. Go in and get your consult. Promise you won't regret it. Best thing I ever did was meeting with Danae. read more

Eden Electrolysis was suggested to my fiance by her Trans-Therapist as a safe place to go. There was a long list of safe places but none were as welcoming, friendly and informative as Eden Electrolysis. If you want hair removed for ANY reason, please contact them and find out for yourself. On the phone I was able to get ALL my questions answered and once me and my fiance arrived we were greeted with professionalism of the highest level while still feeling like an open safe environment. The office is personal and you are assured you are the center of the doctor's attention. You feel like your comfort is key for the process and there is an open discussion of how you are doing while it's going on. What more can I say? At Eden Electrolysis my fear of discomfort for my fiance was alleviated, and we both came out extremely satisfied. The payment options are great as well, you pick how many hours you wish to do after your orientation and you pay by the hour so you are able to work at your own financial pace. SO thankful they exist. read more

I've been looking for a great place to go for full facial electrolysis for some time now but found the process extremely intimidating to research and found most clinics to be a little odd at best. Calling Charlotte at Eden Electrolysis was one of the most revolutionary phone calls I've made in my life. If you're looking to go through a process where electrolysis is a necessary step, Charlotte makes it as painless as possible (so to speak) and will make your comfortable and confident that you're investing in the right electrologist. Way to go Eden Electrolysis! read more

I have been an electrolysis client of Danae for some time now with great results. They recently started offering skin care, so I scheduled a TCA chemical peel, the first peel I have ever gotten. Danae thoroughly explained what my skin would look and feel like for the 7-9 days after treatment, so I was well aware that my face, neck, and décolletage would noticeably peel. The treatment itself was slightly uncomfortable, but this was expected. It took less than an hour. I received great after-care instructions as well as additional products to use. Make sure you use all products as instructed, as well as sunscreen, EVERY DAY. My personal experience has been that my neck peeled more than my face, and I peeled more around my mouth area than anywhere else on my face. It's been a few weeks since I received the peel and my skin looks fantastic. Highly recommend! Danae is very knowledgeable and will make you feel at ease. read more

Danae is by far the best Electrologist I have ever been to! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, very sweet, and keeps everything sterile and clean! I've been seen her for a few months now and have great results! I highly recommend her! Best place! read more

I've been going here for roughly over 6 months now. I started at 2-3 hours every 2 weeks, to just 1 hour a month. The girls are cool and open minded, and they make sure that you are comfortable during the procedure. They also specialize in transgender clients, so don't be shy! (Also, they LOVE trance music.) They now have 3 girls working there (Danae, Charlotte, and Chris), so they should have more space. They are unfortunately very packed, so be sure you can stand waiting 2-3 weeks between appointments! The rates are great. At $1/min +$15/hour, that's really great. You'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else as professional, open, and priced as they are. I highly recommend this place, trans or not. P.S. I'm going to miss this place. I'll be heading down to San Diego for school in a month. I'll miss you Danae! :( But I'll be back in 2-3 years. See you then. :) read more

Electrolysis is slow, but the folks at Eden are wonderful and make the process as enjoyable as it can be. I've been going there for a little under 3 months to get rid of a beard that totally doesn't match my gender identity. Compared to some businesses, I walked in there and instantly knew I was in a trans-friendly business. They are friendly and wonderful at making any customer feel welcome. They use some fairly modern thermolysis electrolysis machines and they do this cool thing at the end that electro-chemically helps soothe the irritated skin. They're really popular and booked a few weeks out, but making reservations on the website is easy. read more

Updated Review 2019/02/18 I have been an electrolysis client of Danae for over 4 years. When Eden Electrolysis started offering facial peels, I scheduled a Peptide Vitality 1 - Classic Facial with Danae.  I have very sensitive skin that even burns when I put on certain sensitive lotions. Danae was careful throughout the procedure monitoring my skin as well as thoroughly explaining everything. It was my first peel and I highly recommend giving it a try! 2015/12/5 Eden Electrolysis is the best place in the Bay Area to get your hair removed and a treasured gem in the LGBTQ community. Charlotte and Danae are open minded and have great personalities. I've had many sessions with Danae and I can say she is a warmhearted and caring person who is very skilled and knowledgeable in her work. I highly recommend her! read more

I recently went for my first visit. The office had great parking and as I walked into the office was impressed by how clean and modern. It was. Staff was ready to go and so friendly It was sooo spa like. No pain. Great price. Excellent music and the aloe finish was superb. I will always be a client. read more

It was the first time and she was so nice to me. No pain and so gentle :) Thank you ! read more

Great work and pleasant people, but almost impossible to get scheduled. They need to expand their business & hire more people. You have to book 3 or 4 months out to get an appointment. The thing that takes them over the top and gets them five stars (even though I only went in once and I'm unlikely to go back) is that a huge proportion of their clients are LGBTQ, and they accept insurance if you're transitioning and are looking to get hair removal. (Kaiser for sure, dunno about other ones). read more

There are so many great things to say about the ladies that work here. I have been coming here for about a year. The results have been fantastic. Both ladies work with your skin type to minimize redness and pain. I love the fact that both ladies are truly amazing. I've seen results from day one. If you want electrolysis done right the first time, this is the place to go. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now. The Ladies at Eden have saved my life!!!! I finally found a place that is able to help me with hair removal. Besides that, all 3 ladies are amazing! Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Thank you ladies for doing what you do, you don't know how many lives you're changing for the better. read more

I am an electrolysis veteran. I have been to many clinics over my 40 years of hair removal. Charlotte firstly is awesome. Punctual, professional, efficient and effective. She uses most current technology.. including an advanced cooling down technique most do not use at all. I had no skin reaction, very little redness and no irritation. Charlotte worked continuously for 60 minutes without stopping to converse or answer the phone as many do. I have a great feeling I won't be looking for another Electrologist any time soon. Don't hesitate.. she's REALLY good!! read more

I found Eden through online search and based on the reviews and distance to my house, I chose this place and I am really glad I did. I have been visiting Eden for an year now and I am very happy with the results. They are knowledgable and really know what they are doing. You can discuss your concerns and they were always ready to accommodate me according to my work schedule. The environment is clean and my skin is a lot better in the past one year. I am really glad I chose this place. read more

Always fantastic work. Quick and usually painless every time. Never disappointed in the results. Saw them for 2-3 years. Charlotte and Danae were always very friendly. I like them a lot.Their biggest problem is they're booked months out so it's difficult get in. read more

I had electrolysis treatment with Charlotte, Beatriz, and Danae. They are all great at their work. They are kind and the service is great.

I have been coming to this place for a long time. These ladies have saved my life and the life of others who deal with unwanted hair. Recently I tried a peel with Danae and I loved the results! Danae was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained the process as she was doing the peel and what to expect once it was done. I've had used Retin A in the past and had never peeled. It seems my skin it's oily and thick but this peel finally gave me results. I'd recommend her and both of the other ladies who are also amazing and have helped me face the world !!! I love these girls!!! read more

I've been going here for a few years. I'm happy with the service and the electrolysists are good people to hang out with. There are transgender friendly so no fear to go here. read more

Just had my first session today with Charlotte and it was absolutely amazing. I have been treated for electrolysis for the past 3 years at a different place and I saw no improvement, the treatment was very sporadic and she didn't completely clear off an area before moving on to the next. I've got to say that I had a completely different experience at Eden Electrolysis! It was professional, informative, efficient, and the customer service was excellent. I am happy I came here! :) read more

Danae has been wonderful doing my Electrolysis. She makes me feel comfortable and is amazing at her job. She is friendly and a great human being. I loved the way she handles my skin and appreciate her work . read more

Been going for over 2 years now, on and off. The good: Booking online, responsive to email questions, close to my neighborhood, always seen exactly on time, competitive pricing, very little irritation post-treatment, effective (it works!), clean work area, calm and serene environment. The not so great: They've become very busy. Be sure to booka appts in advance! Love this place. read more

After scheduling an appointment 3 times I was told they did not find me in their system! Suspicious. When I call to confirmed my appointment 2 times I was told one of our girls will call you. Waited and waited and no answer. Unprofessional. First I was told there is a problem with our system, then a Shirley call me just to say you are not in our system. Would never recommend this place. read more

First, the ladies here are all equally amazing and are the warmest and most welcoming people you can imagine. The location is easily accessible, parking is a breeze, and the office is clean and tidy. I have never had an issue with booking an appointment when I needed one; although I do only book 15/30 minute sessions so it may be slightly harder to book longer ones. My unwanted hair is thick, dark, and curly so it's pretty stubborn, but it is responding well to the method of electrolysis that is used at Eden Electrolysis. I cannot recommend this business enough. These ladies are worth every minute and every dollar! read more

I'm a guy, and I have some pesky random hairs that crop up on my shoulders. Not something women find sexy. I was referred to Eden and I had a wonderful experience. First, the facility was very modern, paperless and even had a personal video glasses for me to relax. The staff was friendly and understood my apprehension and embarrassment I might feel. Lastly, I dozed off during the session. Didn't feel a thing! I highly recommend anyone going to Eden. They even take CC's. The office, the staff, the equipment are all the very best you are ever going to find. They are even going to remove hair from my neck so I stop getting razor rash. Marvelous. read more
