A friend of mine recommended Shoshana to me when I was at the end of my rope. I had had laser…read moreseveral years ago at my dermatologist's office, but you would never have known it, and all he could further recommend was tweezing. I was spending so much time plucking chin hairs multiple times a day, and they grew right back. Shoshana perfectly understood my distress. She was--and is--meticulous, not only about the thoroughness and hygiene of the work, but about making sure I understood the process. She is so thorough and efficient--after each weekly session, my skin was smooth and felt so much better. (Each zap does sting a little, but certainly no more than laser, and SO worth it!) After 7 months of weekly sessions, my chin, cheeks and lips are approaching hair-free. And she is so capable and caring--such a lovely person. I highly recommend her; we are so lucky to have her in Manhattan!

My dermatologist referred me to Shoshana years ago, and I cannot recommend her highly enough…read more Shoshana is careful and thorough, and the results are amazing. She also is a warm, lovely person. She was able to make me feel comfortable immediately when I was new to electrolysis, and she continues to treat me like a valued client even though I don't need to see her often anymore. She is a treasure.

I don't remember discussing the fact of how long I stayed at all, I stayed there for 2 hour…read moretreatment, since Leah advised me agains doing less than two hours for legs, even though she knew it was my first time. It means that I paid $320 + $20 tips. I wouldn't bother to return $160. Anyway, my review is not about the money, I have better means of earning than that, bit I want TO LET PEOPLE KNOW about the way you do your business and also to make sure that every side effect of this treatment is disclosed. Here are the 'red flags' I identified (again, I have nothing to hide and the purpose of my review is public awareness about your "business", not personal gain): 1. It is stated on your website that cash or checks are fine. Leah refused to take my check and said that only cash is accepted. NO RECEIPT was offered. Certainly, If she didn't tell you the real amount she charged me, it's not my problem. I still paid $320 + $20 tips and was asking to reimburse no more than I actually spent. Feels like your employee was cheating and asking double price which in the venue without receipts and cash-only flow makes any situation free of proof. This is very professional. BE SMART AND DEMAND YOUR RECEIPTS. 2. I probably would move on and forget about everything after an apology, but you threatened to post my pictures and personal info for several times, which is inappropriate and frankly illegal. Here is a quote from your email: "...bad reviews ... will reflect me not my staff and a lot of extra work for my public relations dept to write you back on line and post a lot of personal information and photos..." 3. You state that I should have come to show you my legs after treatment and hold my refusal to do so as an evidence of my foul play. I am going to post my pictures, so people could see how bad it looks week after the treatment. I don`t see a purpose in wasting my time going back to your salon. You are not a medical professional and I will not have any confidence in your advise after nasty and threatening emails I received from you. I saw dermatologist and had to undergo course of therapy. I am not sure which proof you are talking about, and again, it sounds like a threat, which seems to be your way of handling unpleasant matters. This is the website, where people can freely discuss their experience and I am going to do so. My experience at the salon and aftermath of my treatment were unpleasant, but talking to you made it unacceptable and frustrating. P.S. I am posting my photo by myself so you could consider yourself if this salon worth to deal with.

THIS IS THE REVIEW YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR! My journey with Elizabeth Electrolysis began over a…read moreyear ago as a first-time electrolysis user, and I couldn't be HAPPIER WITH THE RESULTS! My friend and mother been going to her for YEARS and I am so happy to recommend her to you all! From the moment I stepped into her clinic, Elizabeth's warmth and professionalism were evident. She took the time to educate me about electrolysis, addressing all my concerns and ensuring my comfort. What sets her apart is her dedication to providing a personalized experience - she even offers a test session during the consultation, so you know exactly what to expect when you begin your sessions! Beyond her certifications and extensive experience, Elizabeth consistently creates a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere during each appointment. Her genuine care for her client's well-being shines through, making her STAND OUT in the field. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth Electrolysis for exceptional care and expertise. Whether you're new to electrolysis or seeking a reliable professional, Elizabeth's personalized approach and wealth of knowledge make her the perfect choice for all your electrolysis needs.

I discovered Julie Ann by looking on Yelp for "electrolysis." Three months before my wedding, I was…read morein need of the service and needed someone reliable. Of course I was drawn in by the 5 star review, and the comments that indicated how much experience she had. I called immediately- it was a Saturday night. She stayed on the phone with me and patiently explained the process, asked questions and calmed my fears. I made an appointment immediately. What I have learned in the past three months is that not only is Julie Ann remarkably good at what she does-- it is a painstaking process and she is patient and diligent-- but she is also quite charming and a really lovely person. She has a million great stories she'll tell you while she works on you, and she will remember every detail you tell her- from your boyfriend's astrological sign to your mother's birthday. She's kind and compassionate and a real gem. Her workspace, while small, is filled with diplomas and certifications to ease your mind. She's been at this a long time, and she has stayed educated in her field. She offers the latest treatments, including laser. She's remarkably knowledgable about it all. For example, before finding Julie Ann I almost went to an expensive spa for laser treatment. What I learned through our extensive talks is that laser can actually make facial hair worse on women. It's great for arms and legs, though. Her prices are beyond fair- I've been quoted a lot more and she will not stiff you for time, though she's always got a customer after you because she is well known and so good. She does a lot and she will work on you as long as it takes. I always feel like I should be giving her MORE money- and trust me, I am broke and don't think that often. But you have a need- hair removal- so beyond all the other "pluses" of going to Julie Ann you can rest assured that she's the absolute best there is. Definitely call, you found your solution.

Came here with a Groupon and was not a fan of this facial at all. I'm giving it two points because…read moreeveryone was so nice, but the experience overall was not what I was looking for. This location in particular gives doctors office vibe - it's very chaotic, and you can hear people talking from inside the room where your facial takes place. My technician asked about my skin concerns, and I told her I wanted to feel more glowy and less dull and was having trouble deciding between either the anti-aging or aqua facial. She said she'd customize it to my skin, but what happened next was mostly just a lot of irritation. She did a chemical peel on me that left my skin feeling dry and irritated. I was hoping for some hydration, but we moved on to extractions and then did some kind of electromagnetic thing to my skin that felt bad after the mask. She did put what was supposed to be a hydrating mask on my face, but with everything else she did I still left this facial feeling dry and irritated. I've had plenty of facials before, and the extractions for this one were so, so painful. I had red marks on my face for days afterwards. I will not be back here. Come at your own risk.

One of things I really like about Heenah is her willingness to customize a category of service to what a client needs, within reason of course.

I've tried a number of places and find Heenah offers very fair prices plus a strong desire to ensure her clients are completely satisfied. My skin always feels silky smooth after a visit and I have never had a post appointment problem.
