I can't recommend Janet enough, especially for any transgender people looking for hair removal. I can't emphasize enough how much she has impacted my life, not just as an electrologist but as a person. I see Janet weekly, and despite the pain, I look forward to it. Literally, I see her more often than my friends and family. She has made what is a vulnerable experience and an important part of my life goals a treat. She is patient, kind, funny, and awesome at her job. Literally the fastest on the market. She's also flexible, and fast to respond. read more

Electrolysis by Janet - Hair Removal Near Me - Glendale, California

I am so incredibly sad to write this review. I had trusted Janet. I went to her 6 years ago and she had a great technique and removed a large chunk of my hair on my face. I came in for a touch up recently and I came in with my own numbing cream. I wanted to wash my face and she insisted that she would wipe the numbing cream with witch hazel and small cotton rounds, which I knew was not sufficient enough to clean the skin. Due to the air, not being clean off, which I knew made me nervous, I noticed through the mirror when I would look at her doing the Electrolysis that her gloves had numbing cream all over them. At this point, I was getting really nervous that the air was not clean enough, but she kept insisting and wiping with witch hazel saying it's clean it's clean it's clean. She mentioned to me that she got a new machine that's very good but it didn't feel any different than the last time I got it done years ago. I came in to just do specific areas and then she proceeded to do my upper lip as well which I really didn't care about but she insisted since I was there so I wouldn't have to come back. The next morning I woke up and I had a lot of swelling and redness, which I figured was normal. I always normally had about three days of downtime and then like the scabs would kind of go away after a week. It has now been full two weeks since I got my treatment done, and my skin is completely scarred. There is post inflammatory, redness, scarring, pigmentation, and indented holes from her probe in my skin. I out reached out to her regarding my concerns and how upset and sad I was and requested a refund and she has completely stopped answering me. She gaslighted me telling me that my skin is sensitive and that it will go away, but I know for sure that it will not go away on its own as I am an aesthetic nurse practitioner and look at other people's skin all day for a living as well. and I know exactly what I'm looking at when I'm looking at my skin. I had to seek further help from a derm MD and was put on antibiotics for one week and a topical antibiotic as well to help any bacteria subside. On top of that I know that I'm going to have to have multiple laser treatments, chemical peels , and micro needling treatments to heal this redness and scarring from my skin. I will show you a picture of what my skin look like prior to the session and I will show you what my skin looks like now. Please use caution when booking treatments with her or do not book at all. Still have not received a refund or heard back from her in days. The selfie is my skin before. read more

Janet has truly changed my life. Her skill as an electrologist is exceptional, and the results she's given me have quite literally made my dreams come true. Getting rid of uncomfortable, unsightly hair has been such a gift, both physically and emotionally. Beyond her technical expertise, Janet is always punctual, incredibly accommodating with scheduling, and consistently professional. What really sets her apart, though, is how warm, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She creates a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and supported every step of the way. I am deeply grateful for her work and cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Electrolysis by Janet - Hair Removal Near Me - Glendale, California

Janet is great at electrolysis. Friendly and easy to make an appointment. Had neck, brows and upper lip completed over 3 or 4 visits.

Janet changed my life! She's very kind, knowledgable and responsible. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to do electrolysis.

My experience with Janet has been nothing but amazing ! Her compassionate work speaks for itself, she is so caring and I've come to enjoy and look forward to our sessions.

I would absolutely suggest/recommend her to anyone interested in hair removal. Thanks Janet ! read more

Very professional and friendly. Great services and prices, the location is easy to find and she works fast and efficiently.

I've tried everything: laser, tweezing, shaving. I've been embarrassed and extremely self conscious of my facial hair all my adult life. I put off electrolysis for year because I didn't want the hassle of going regularly to deal with the hair. Janet has solved this for me! Not only is she really good and efficient at getting the hairs, she's also really warm and kind. She's open-minded and cultured and lovely to chat with. She was honest about how many sessions I would need and I've seen an enormous improvement... most of my facial hair is gone! It's not fun to get electrolysis, but Janet makes it easy and as pleasant as possible. She's changed my life for the better. Thank you so much, Janet! read more

I have been going to Janet for a few months now and she is great. Very professional, accommodating and approachable. So far my experience with her has been super positive and I'm very satisfied with the quality of her work. She is a fantastic ally and a great person. Thank you Janet -Andi read more

Janet is amazing!!! I've been going to her for some time now and I've always had a great experience. She's very knowledgeable and does such a good job and really cares for her clients. She also accommodates and tries to squeeze you in even with short notice which I really appreciate. You'll definitely be getting your money's worth! All around 10/10 read more

Janet is amazing! I've been going to her for a few years now. I had a different electrologist before her that I did like but she was nowhere near as knowledgeable and efficient as Janet. Janet is extremely polite, respectful and professional. I have a crazy work schedule as well and somehow Janet is always able to squeeze me in when I finally have time to go see her, which is truly appreciated! She truly cares about her clients and her work. So glad I booked with her when I did, and never plan to change to another electrologist again. Thank you Janet for everything! read more

I have seen janet for a year for hairs removal before my operation. She has been very good and knew what my situation is and she super kind. Recommend that she did the best on her job. read more

I have seen Janet for years. I have had dozens of hours treatment with her. I have seen probably 10 other electrologists and she is the best I have been too. Her space is private and comfortable and she is really nice. I left her for awhile because there are cheaper alternatives out but I had to come back! There was no comparison. She is faster, misses less hairs and has a higher kill rate then anyone I have been with. She is not afraid to turn up the current high if you can take it. I want those hairs gone! She is also not afraid to work on any area of the body of any gender. When it comes to something like Electrolysis it is a severe waste of time and money to not go to the best you can find. Go to Janet! read more

Been going to Janet for almost 2 years. Always flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. I will always recommend janet for any electrolysis you need done. The space is very private and safe, janet is very good at putting you at easy considering the painful procedure. read more

Janet is so kind and welcoming. I've seen real results very quickly and she's been very accommodating with my schedule.

Janet is professional, quick, and always checks in to see if I'm ok. I've had about 6 or 7 sessions and the progress is life changing! She is easy to contact about scheduling, and always makes me feel welcome. read more

I've been getting electrolysis hair removal from Janet for some time (due to my bad genes), and I can say that I'm very happy with her care. Electrolysis is no fun, but Janet has always made sure to make me as comfortable as possible during the process. Not only that but she also gives recommendations for aftercare as well as long term skin recovery. She also has been very accommodating when it comes to scheduling, even at the last minute sometimes. She has also helped out with insurance paperwork, which I appreciate a lot. The results were clear early on, and now that I'm nearing the end, I am very happy with how it's turning out read more

Janet is the best. She's incredibly sweet and professional al and her rates are totally fair. She did upper lip with numbing cream and yes it hurts a bit but it's totally worth it and why didn't I do this years ago!?!? Clean private room. Easy to schedule. So glad I found her. read more

Janet has been my go-to for electrolysis for my transition and my experience is always relaxing, fun, and professional! She is very organized with her bookings and is on point! I look forward to my future sessions with her for my facial hair removal. Thank you, Janet! read more

Electrolysis by Janet - First session of mustache electrolysis. - Hair Removal Near Me - Glendale, California

Overpriced and skin breakout. I went to her 2x and charged me $150 for hour when only 30 mins needed for my face. When I wanted to get price reduced she was yelling saying no give me my money aggressively. After, My face skin had breakouts and skin peeling. I had to apply Vaseline for 2 weeks to heal my skin. I think she does transgender hair and uses same for females too much heat. However one thing the hair reduction was good. This gave me motivation to try her again n let her know to reduce less heat but she didn't answer my calls or messages. Very unprofessional. read more

Janet is a very knowledgeable and responsible aesthetician. People need to stop crying over the breakouts as it is a temporary problem that can be remedied promptly. I definitely want to continue using her services! read more

I enjoyed my time here. She was very professional and made me feel comfortable . I have probably maybe 1-2 sessions more. Nice salon also. I figured I'd write a review as I have noticed she had no recent ones read more

Let's face it, the very nature of how it works makes electrolysis a potentially painful procedure. Thankfully for people with a low pain threshold like me, there's Janet. On my first visit, she carefully explained how to prep oneself prior to the session to mitigate any discomfort. Once she begins, her soft, gentle demeanor makes even the more challenging areas tolerable, and if ever the discomfort is too much, she gracefully moves to a different spot and keeps on her steady focus. After only the first handful of visits, there are major, noticeable differences in my facial appearance IRL and especially noticeable in photos - she's even been able to clear areas other folks said couldn't be done! I'm thankful to have found Janet and so very happy with how she's enhanced my look - if you're looking to have electrolysis done, she's the BEST!!! read more

I was hesitant to even research electrolysis in the first place, but I am so glad I reached out to Janet! After moving towards a mask-optional LA, I realized that I needed to do something more permanent about my embarrassing chin hairs and I reached out to schedule a consultation. To my surprised, Janet was able to do the first treatment right away, sending me down a relatively easy path towards hairlessness. She is thorough, quick, and had a good read on my pain tolerance - a few times in my first few sessions she offered to stop and give me a moment to rest, and recommended numbing cream to great effect for more sensitive spots. She is kind and as gentle as possible during the process, which I appreciate, and she is always quick to respond when I request an appointment. I am so grateful I found Janet and for her excellent work! read more

I saw Janet from December 2022 through March of 2023. I had been using another studio before I was able to get service through the VA with Janet. I was very happy that Janet had contracted with the VA to provide services for Transgender Veterans needing hair removal. Unfortunately her there were issues with her technique and/or equipment. I had had work done by other electrologists and been able to sit for several hours without too much pain. with Janet it was very painful even with high percentage lidocaine creams and Advil. I could not tolerate the pain an had to take breaks during 2 hours sessions. I also noticed that the healing process took well over a week and the areas remained sore and scabbed longer than with other providers. I brought this to Janet's attention and even asked if she could check her equipment and/or reduce the intensity. Nothing changed. I stopped using her service due to the excessive pain and long healing times. what i didn't know was that scaring in the form of pitting and damage resulting in wrinkles of the upper lip could present weeks and even months after treatment when such treatment has not been done properly. I am now left with pitting in the areas that Janet worked on and heavy wrinkles to my upper lip where she did work. I will need toi find a way to reverse these damages. I am aware of another transgender veteran who said that she had had burns from Janet and also stopped using her. I feel disappointed, depressed and responsible since it was I who recruited Janet to contract with the VA and I who informed the other veteran. I think Janet means well and is a very sweet lady. but I also think there is something very wrong with her technique or equipment. If you are a transgender Veteran in the Los Angeles area looking for Electrolysis, Please consider other providers. Contact the Long Beach LGBTQ Care Coordinator. The Long Beach VA has a provider through their Community Care network. read more

Janet is amazing! I've been going to her for some time now and she always makes it a great experience. Super professional and kind. The best of all is the results! I trust her and her skillful hand. read more

Janet was amazing! I was referred to Janet by a close friend who has used Janet's service for electrolysis multiple times! After many treatments of laser for my hair, I had given up and decided to take the referral and give Janet a call! She answered my call, was very kind and seemed passionate about how her services could help me! Scheduling my first appointment was a breeze as my schedule is extremely difficult to accommodate to, but Janet was happy to schedule a time that would work for me! She was very thorough, and took her time explaining the process and what I should expect. My first treatment went amazing, and much better than expected as I've heard it can be painful, but it wasn't! I'm EXTREMELY happy with the results and couldn't recommend Janet enough! Forget laser, give Janet a call and ditch the hair for good! Thank you Janet!!! read more

Ms. Janet is definitely a breath of fresh air not just because of her skills, but because she makes you feel like family. The first time I went to Janet I literally felt like I have been going to her for years she made me feel very welcomed! I have been to other electrolysis places and I was wondering why they were not working, from the first time I went to Janet immediately I saw the difference. After three visits I am done with one area of my face, compare that to 6 years of going to other places I will not mention! Janet's bed side manner made me feel very comfortable and trusting of her. I HIGHLY recommend Janet for any electrolysis treatments and other facial treatments you are looking for. vivi read more

I have struggled with unwanted hair for as long as I can remember. It always affected my self esteem and honestly started to make me depressed. I had my reservations about electrolysis but when I found Janet on Yelp I knew I had to try it out. I cannot emphasize how fantastic Janet has been to me in the past year that I have been seeing her. She really takes the time to understand your specific removal goals and recommends the best course for your situation. I was so discouraged in the beginning because I felt like my situation would never improve, but I started to see results after just one session. Janet does the most to make all feel welcomed and comfortable, takes her work seriously, and really cares about her clients. Janet has truly changed my life. read more

Janet is so great and accommodating. She is very kind and does a very good job at electrolysis.

FINALLY!!!!! I found a great electrolycist. I've been looking for some times and it seems to be a lost art. So many say they can do electrology and also facials, laser hair removal etc. In my experience the best electolysists are specialists. Janet is just that. Fast, Clean, knowledgeable about follicles and age of follicles. I will not go anywhere else. Thank you Janet and Yelp read more

I refer everyone to Janet because she's so quick, efficient, accepting, and welcoming. I love going to her! Pain free, super knowledgeable, and she makes me feel so safe as a FTM patient. read more

Let me save you some time, stop looking because Janet is the best. I have tried multiple locations and so many different technicians. You name it, I have done it. After my first session, I felt so lucky because I finally found a place that works best for me. I always feel comfortable and at ease. It is affordable (price is updated on the website) and perfectly located in a safe neighborhood. The pain is bearable if you are doing a sensitive area, but do not worry she will ask if you are doing okay or not the whole time. Janet will go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. If you have been thinking about making the investment for a long time, I say you take the plunge. I feel confident and incredibly happy after each session. read more
