Word of mouth references!! Taking a chance on any type of hair removal service should be done by word of mouth! That is how I found myself with Freedom Electrology. I have been dealing with unwanted facial hair my whole life.. I've spend endless dollars on waxing & laser removal. (30 years) I have been with Kirsten for 2.5 years. She is honest, kind efficient and very detail oriented. I was surprised to find out gray facial hair can actually be permanently removed. My first 3-4 months going every 2 weeks for 1.5 hour sessions and NOW... I'm in and out in 30 mins. Just the confidence I have now knowing about 75% of my chin hairs are gone has such an everlasting impact on myself esteem, prior to this I had a pair of tweezers in every part of my house/car/work and even at the gym. I have not plucked since I've been getting treatments. When you learn to trust the process you won't give up so easy. I hope this post helps someone because this type of service is not easy to talk about... read more

She is a rockstar. When it comes to the work ethic she is one of the most transparent person that I have worked for hair removal. I have suffered PCOS my upper lip and chin area have been always a problem . I was so tired of waxing , my skin was peeling got burned after years of years of waxing also I tried many permanent hair removal places in Europe and in the USA but I have never seen this much visible results because many places want you to come back to keep their business. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment you won't regret at all. read more

Kirsten is amazing! She is an absolute expert in her field. She uses a technique that removes hair without any of the skin damage or burning that often occurs at other studios. I drive two hours just to see her, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Kirsten. She is extremely skilled at her job. I've seen a significant and positive reduction in my hair since starting treatments. She's also incredibly professional and kind. She genuinely treats patients with respect and patience, taking the necessary time to clearly explain how the entire electrolysis process works. If you're looking for an expert who achieves real results, she's the one!!! read more

When I came for treatment, this person scarred my face. Prior to treatment, I asked her if she was familiar with doing darker skin and asked if there would be any scarring. She assured me that there would be no scarring. She said that she had worked on African Americans before and never had a problem. I trusted her to do a good job but she lied and she scarred my face. read more

I've had an excellent experience with Kirsten. She's friendly and extremely knowledgeable about her craft. I've been going in for regular sessions with her for about 3 months, and already seeing an improvement. I would highly recommend her for any electrolysis needs. read more

Kirsten is absolutely amazing. I'm an RN, and I actually work in a procedure area Monday through Friday. This woman is a doctor of her craft, if I do say so myself! She is extremely knowledgeable, highly professional, and so genuine like a close friend. My face feels as soft as a baby, and I am incredibly grateful to her for the detail oriented care she provided me with today. DO NOT HESITATE... And for my darker ladies who are on the fence, Kirsten has got us covered! 10 out of 10 service; highly recommend. read more

I am genuinely so happy I found Kirsten! I'm at ten sessions with her and we have made SO much progress. I had so much dark hair on my eyebrows and it's so much cleaner now. Also I enjoy literally every session. One time I almost fell asleep from how relaxed I was, but usually we have so much to talk about (speaking as an introvert too). Absolutely worth it, and so grateful I found Kirsten. I'm comfortable, there's pretty much no pain on eyebrows, and we're are making progress :)) read more

Kristen is the best in her field - don't hesitate to schedule an Appt with her. I have been treated many years hair removal and found her on Yelp. Save me time. read more

I`ve been getting electrology in a lot of different places and definitely Kristen is the best. always kind very very professional and always a pleasure to arrive always everything is sanitized and clean super fair price read more

I've suffered since I was a teen with extremely thick armpit hair that I could never shave properly without cutting myself...so I gave up and just never EVER wore tank tops or went swimming. Literally. A few years back, I started considering electrolysis but was always worried about the pain and expense. In the end, I had a consultation with Kirsten and decided to go ahead and try it after her very thorough and clear explanation of what would happen, what could potentially go wrong, and how long it would take. So how did it go? Friends, I now wear tank tops and swim with reckless abandon! It's taken about two years (minus a self-imposed pause during covid) but my armpit hairs are barely there now and are much thinner when they regrow. And even though that seems like a long time, after sessions with Kirsten, I was hairless (or nearly hairless) for weeks until the hair started growing again. So the benefits start early; you don't have to be "finished" to be a lot happier. Finally, I have to comment on Kirsten herself. She never made me feel like a freak for my hairiness or for my anxiety over the process. She also doesn't take it personally when I accidentally curse at her when she deals with a hair that's painful! Going through this with her felt like I had a partner in the process, not a clinician who didn't care about me. She takes all safety and hygiene precautions, she's fun to talk to, and she gets results! I couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

Having tried everything to get rid of unwanted hair, I am so happy that I gave electrolysis a chance. Kirsten is very knowledgable and explained the process to me. I was scared it would hurt but it really does not, unless you are going for removal of the very upper lip ( which I do now) but Kirsten is patient and you will get through it! The pain is non existent for chin hair, breast hair and most facial hair!!! The office is VERY clean, and peaceful. Kirsten is a lovely person as well, which is an added bonus when someone is working on removing hair. She NEVER makes me feel embarrassed about having hair in unwanted places either. She makes me feel at ease and like she knows what she is doing! Give it a try!! read more

I've been working with Kirsten for a few years now. And she is amazing at what she does! I started with 2+ hour sessions multiple times a month and am down to about 45 minutes once a month. She does efficient and quality work. And is very knowledgeable in what she does. And as a person is absolutely wonderful. I've never had bad experiences the years I've known & got work from her. I've tried an other electrologist recently for an emergency appointment & it truly highlighted Kirstens work ethic, quality & character in my book. She wins & I highly recommend going to her if you are considering hair removal treatment or in search of a new electrologist (: read more

There's life before Kirsten and life after Kirsten! Before Kirsten, I had tried every method to remove unwanted facial hair. Absolutely nothing worked and I was at my wits end. Then I found Kirsten, and with that came electrolysis, the only method that has truly worked at effectively removing my facial hair. If you are considering electrolysis, I would highly recommend Kirsten. She is not only effective at electrolysis, but she is also a great esthetician that has given me great skin care tips as well. A few tips and things to remember: 1) electrolysis is a process; you won't walk in and after 5 sessions, be done. I'm on month 8 and my facial hair is now starting to grow back after two weeks (when I first started it was after two days). The process can take up to 1-2 years depending on your hair, but keep in mind towards the end you only go once every few months, if that. 2) it hurts quite a bit, but it's doable. I have a low pain tolerance so I purchased numbing spray with 10 mg of lidocaine and I spray it on the area right before Kirsten starts and it takes some of the pain away. 3) do NOT pluck in between. Shave only. Thank you Kirsten! You are THE best! read more

I am so very happy that I can rave about my experience with Kirsten at Freedom Electrology! It is so great to meet a professional person who really knows what they are doing, loves what they do & really cares about their clientele! Nowadays, that is quite rare, in my experience! Her office is immaculate and serene! Short health history taken, which I appreciated! But I really need to comment on her explanation of everything that she would do & why....from hair growth to "zapping" and everything in between! Equipment was sterile and "once used" to be sure! So very happy to have found this office for my Electrology needs! She's a gentle, amazing, "no rush" professional, to say the least! You're the best, Kirsten! read more

You are paying for Kirsten's skills and experience. She is very thorough, getting hairs I did not notice, and she really has her clients' best interests in mind. This process requires a lot of trust, and I'm worried I won't find another person like her when I move. Get a consultation with her, and you can decide whether to trust her with your skin and hair or not. I came to her after doing more research and she properly educated me on electrolysis. I wish I came to her first before spending money and putting in time with Eden Electrolysis, which I do NOT recommend when they use thermolysis and are not afraid to amp the settings that can cause intense, hyperpigmentation/saggy skin. I had A LOT of underarm hair and this treatment definitely worked. It took 3 weeks to grow back and there's a clear permanent reduction in hair. Also, it's surprisingly not too painful compared to when I had thermolysis. I'm super happy with my treatment with Kirsten because I always leave with clean, smooth underarms and she gets every ingrown hair as well for me (vs. at Eden's, my armpits would be dark, full of pus and ingrown hairs/pimples after treatment) read more

Kirsten is my girl! She does amazing work. Her office is always clean and smells great. Not to mention, she always plays fabulous music. She has taken me at the last minute (when all of a sudden some hairs sprout causing a real emergency). She has even allowed me to cancel at the last minute and always keeps a professional and friendly air about her. I truly appreciate her and cannot say enough about her! Oh, and the results are REAL! I highly recommend her. Her communication is stellar and you will not be disappointed. She explains the process in which hair grows and why you might have experienced higher hair growth than usual. She is the best! read more

Freedom Electrology - Clean, beautifully decorated facility - Hair Removal Near Me - San Jose, California

I stumbled upon Freedom Electrology while searching Google. I decided to give it a shot. Kirsten has been excellent! I have been seeing her for over a month now. She is extremely knowledgeable, and I am confident in her work. I look forward to our appointments. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I definitely recommend. read more

Ok so I don't really know where to start. I have never in my life experienced a behavior like this. I began coming to Kristen in February of 2021. I have had some facial hair that I'm obviously self conscious about. So I came to Kristen hoping she could help. She was really nice and welcoming on our first visit. I was happy because I thought I'd found someone to help me. I struggle with vertigo and can't lay flat so I bring a small massage table pillow. She just started making little comments about my pillow and how it ruins the positioning of her arms. I would just stretch my neck side to side to try to help her but her comments started to become a bit mean. She actually told me she doesn't look forward to our appointments and can't wait for them to be over. She would then say, I cause her to have a pinched nerve in her back and she has to "crawl " to her chiropractor after each one of our appointments. She even cussed at one point and shouted that her arms are so "f******" high! I grew up with a blunt family so I just kinda thought she was just a girl who was a little rough around the edges and maybe a bit on the dramatic side. Just with the way she would say it. I just kept quiet and took in what she had to say but I must admit it started to having me feel uncomfortable and I started to dread the appointments as well. It was painful after all, and it doesn't help when the person who your trusting and paying to help you is making you feel insecure about even being there at all. Our appointment we had was today. I had come back because she missed a section on our last appointment and blamed my vertigo/ position I was in. I thought I'd be a little talkative and mention that I went to the Dr and found out the reason for my facial hair growth. She sounded completely annoyed to hear me speak and just would say "mhumm mmmhummm" dramatically after each thing I said and then tells me she can no longer work on me and after this appointment I'm not welcome back because of my pillow. So now I have to find someone else and maybe it did hurt her back but I'll never forget how she made me feel. I just thought she was a bit ruthless overall and I couldn't imagine treating any of my clients this way especially if it's a medical condition they can't control. On the bright side, I do think she does a really good job, I was starting to see improvements aside from everything else. I was really disappointed I had to get dropped before we were done. She said it could take 1-2 years to be completed and we were barley creeping up to month 3. I Just obviously felt unliked so that was a bummer. All for a pillow. read more

Kirsten is really good!! She is highly experienced, so is pretty quick and sessions with her are never a waste of time. You WILL see results! I have been seeing her about once a month for a year and have seen a huge difference. Even though she warns you about possible side effects etc, I was very lucky to never have experienced any. She is a consummate professional. Her office is extremely clean, with a very inviting, calm and fun decor and she maintains high levels of hygiene. She also always checks with you on areas that you want worked on and will follow that. She is perennially busy but I don't think she takes on more new clients than she can schedule. So if you get on her waitlist and get confirmed be assured she will setup appointments as per your needs. Highly recommend her. read more

Five stars for Kirsten! Laser Shmaser.... I had a bad experience with it in the past and was afraid of further hyperpigmentation (I'm Indian). Electrolysis worked for me when I first tried it seven years ago, so I decided to go for it again. Kirsten to the rescue! Although always apprehensive whenever starting new beauty treatments, Kirsten totally put me at ease. She immediately got me scheduled, and discussed all of the pros/cons/side effects with me, and we decided for the Blend technique. We have been working together for about a month and a half and I love the results! Kirsten has always been honest with her time frame to expect true results (four months to a year) and I am happy with her skill and friendly personality. Also, she always manages to squeeze me in whenever I text her at crazy hours every time I find a wayward hair. My skin heals super fast (usually only some redness and teeny bumps for a few hours, then boom! Nothing!) and I haven't even broken out from it (which happened the first time I tried electrolysis). Very happy to have found Kirsten and excited to finally have smooth skin! read more

I'm relocating to the area very soon: I had left a detailed message for a call back to get an appointment but never heard from this establishment. Sadly i needed months of chin and upper lip services. read more

I have been going to Kirstin for well over four years -not only is she thorough at removing hair she is extremely kind and professional. I have sent many people her way and everyone raves about her expertise of hair removal. If you are struggling with excess hair and are wanting to be hair free, I highly recommend her 10/10. read more

Kristen has changed my life! She is amazing in all aspects! I used walk around with thick hairs all over my face, I was so insecure. I tired all the methods you could think of and none of them worked. With time and consistency, my hairs started to thin and some completely disappeared. I see so much progress from where I started. I am beyond thankful for Kirsten and her work ethics. She is professional, hygienic, organized, and most importantly knows what she is doing. She has resorted my confidence and has given me hope through my struggle. Thank you so much Kristen for all you have done for me, I am forever grateful!!! read more

Kirsten has been doing treatments on my chin for about 6 months and what a HUGE difference, I am so HAPPY! Kirsten is punctual, professional, clean, thorough & makes me feel comfortable every treatment. I appreciate her texts to communicate as it makes the flexibility of making/changing or cancelling appointments extremely convenient. I highly recommend Kirsten and have referred other friends to her as well that have too seen amazing results in all needed areas... Thank you Kirsten for really caring about your clients! read more

Kirsten deserves 5 stars hands down for her electrolysis services. She is very understanding and works with whichever heat and strength suits her customer best. When I tried laser hair removal before being introduced to electrology, the hair removal specialists failed to give me a thorough explanation of how it works and when or even if I am to see permanent hair loss. Laser hair removal is not a guaranteed permanent hair removal treatment and unfortunatelly it took me almost 20 treatments on each area to realize that most of the hairs simply grow back after a certain amount of time. Kirsten did a great job at explaining to me every step of the process to permanently removing each hair follicle and I can actually SEE the results. Not only do I trust her to remove my hair as safely and efficiently as possible, I enjoy my time spent during appointments because she has a great personality! read more

Life Changing results! Kirsten is very professional and personable at the same time! Her schedule is extremely busy, but always manages to fit you in if you need to reschedule. Very Happy with results and with Kirsten! read more

Kirsten is awesome. I am from Spain and was visting the Bay Area for a few months. I had already had electrolysis in Spain for 3 years and wanted to continue the treatment. Guess what - In only 3 months I got rid of all those hairs that I had been trying to kill for years. I wish I had known her before. She was professional, super nice and flexible. And her treatment really worked. I felt very comfortable, very little pain. Thank you, Kirsten! read more

Kristen is just awesome!I have been to different electrolysis centers before and Kristen is undoubtedly the best of all.She is very friendly and her treatment is very comfortable and painless.I have never had bumps or rashes after the treatment from Kristen. After couple of treatments already, I have noticed less and less hair follicles coming back.I highly recommend her for electrolysis and she truly deserves 5 stars. read more

Kristen was great. He place is CLEAN. Price point is fine. I will be coming back and also bringing my daughter for her services...I trust Kristen. (She said she loves her job and I take that to mean that she likes people. CLEAN read more

I had laser done on my chin...and needless to say, IT is NOT the thing to do. I developed some heavy duty thick hairs and it was horrifying! Had to shave every day. The laser treatments stimulated the hairgrowth. DON'T laser your face!! EVER! I was desperate for help and Kirsten came to my rescue. The pain was worth it!! :-) Kirsten is just the best at what she does, she is thorough, knowledgeable, quick in her responses and does an stellar job in my opinion! I would HIGHLY recommend her for what she does, her effectiveness and on top of all this...she is also funny, friendly, a good listener, and she cares about doing the best job she can. She has helped me tremendously and I love walking out from the office soft and smooth! She saves me when I need it! If there were 10 stars she would get that!!! I could not have picked a more perfect person! So, go for it, you won't be disappointed! That is a promise! :-D read more

I have been seeing Kirsten for over a year now. I keep going back because of her professionalism, knowledge, and the supportive (and, unexpectedly, relaxing!) environment. When I first started the electrolysis process, Kirsten walked me through the specifics of the treatments, approx how long it would take, and what she does to ensure her clients experience a sterile and safe treatment. Kirsten even went the extra mile for me when I kept forgetting to bring an eye mask - she picked one up for me that I keep at her office! I am so glad I came across her office and that Freedom Electrology is the only place I have had to go for electrolysis. The treatment works, my self confidence is up, and I am able to be in a meeting or hanging out with friends without worrying if they will notice my facial hair (because it's almost all gone now!!!!). read more

I was nervous about starting electrolysis because I am sensitive about hygiene and had some bad experiences in the past. Kirsten is great! She uses a new needle each time, wipes clean and disinfects everything between patients and always wears gloves and a mask. She explains how electrolysis works before starting and gives tips on how to care for your skin afterwards. I have been going to her for a few months and it has been going great! I would definitely recommend her. read more

I have been going to Kirsten for almost a year and can't believe its taken me this long to write a review. I had been waxing and threading before starting electrolysis and this has completely changed my life!! Kirsten has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process, listens to what you want, and goes out of her way to accomodate you. Her practice is clean and welcoming. I am east indian and had dark spots on my face which were also a concern. She listened to all my concerns and went through all of them and what I can expect. The results have been more than what I had hoped for. If you are looking to get electrolysis, highly recommend Kirsten! read more

I have been going to Kirsten for well over a couple years now. I am not a needle person, so this wasn't easy for me to do, but Kirsten makes it easy and manages to make it as painless as possible. The results I have had are great, Especially as my hair is very light, and sometimes hard to do. My daughter was the one who started going to her first, and we both recommend her to you, read more

I had a bad experience at another place for over 2 years with little results and plenty of scaring to show for it. After just a few sessions at Freedom Electrology, the results were amazing! Kirstin does a wonderful job explaining the process and you will not be disappointed with the results! read more

I can confirm the outstanding reviews of others. Kirsten is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. She has many years of experience. Technically she is highly accurate, gentle, and precise. Interpersonally, she is professional, warm, and kind. When you are enduring some physical discomfort of hair removal (much *less* than I expected, though, because of Kirsten's her precision and care!), and dealing with the potentially embarrassing issue of unwanted hair growth, this kindness is a true service to her clients. Kirsten is very collaborative and client-centered in helping you achieve your goals with hair removal, and I am personally seeing good results. read more

As an older woman, I had been dealing with increasing facial hair since menopause and changes in my hormones. It came to the point where I needed to shave each day to feel "presentable." But that was a drag and did not feel feminine. So I was very pleased and relieved when I found Kirsten listed on the online site of certified electrologists in this area. After my first session, I knew I would be happy to recommend her for anyone with unwanted body hair. She is highly skilled, has excellent technique, and is sensitive to my preferences and comfort level. A complete professional, she is also very personable and easy to chat with. If you are new to electrology, she explains clearly about the treatment and is happy to answer all your questions. Her office is immaculate and very pleasant. Because of her good technique, I never have discomfort, redness or swelling following treatment as I did with electrology years ago. If you are sick of dealing with unwanted body hair, go see her! You will not regret it. read more
