Elaine Staats is the best electrolysis practitioner I have ever found. She is effective and works quickly. Another electrolysis practitioner, I tried before I found Elaine did not reduce the hair on my face and told me it could take many years. Elaine made progress on getting rid of hairs, advised me what numbing agents work best and referred me to a doctor who could give me a numbing shot for my upper lip. All of the3 hairs she removed are still gone more than 10 years later. read more

Elaine is trusted by Los Gatos Dermatologists, and I have always found her to be very professional yet personable. You can trust her for all your electrolysis needs. I have had electrolysis treatments by many other electrologists, but Elaine is the best, and I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. I can highly recommend her. read more

I go here for electrolysis with Elaine Staats. The woman is an absolute genius when it comes to hair removal. She really knows her stuff and works hard to make sure she doesn't go beyond your skin's pain threshold. Elaine is also very easy-going. Electrolysis can be pricey, but it's worth every penny if you see Elaine. Highly recommended. read more

Elaine was awesome for my first time doing Electrolysis (I've done Laser before). She was very nice and it didn't hurt very much. The redness went away in an hour. Will definitely go back to her. Also there's a Groupon for half off first session! With additional discounts on Groupon my session was only $20. read more

Elaine is the best electrologist / electrolysist in the bay area. Elaine has a VERY steady, gentle hand. She has been practicing for decades, and the treatments have been successful. She is very friendly and talks to me about all sorts of topics to keep my mind occupied during treatment sessions. She has experience working with clients with a huge range of skin tones; this is important because it seems correlated to the damage electrolysis can do to your skin. As someone with darker skin, I really appreciated that she advised me on how to minimize skin damage (i.e., scarring, pitting, etc.). She taught me how to pick sunscreens to prevent hyperpigmentation after treatments, and she helped me figure out how frequently to schedule treatments to allow my skin to heal properly between visits. Because I've visited other electrologists in the area, I can say, without hesitation, that Elaine really is the best. A small thing: Elaine is quite popular and therefore very busy, so you may need to wait a few days to schedule an appt over the phone. Don't be discouraged by the wait because she is DEFINITELY worth it. read more

Sharon Dela Torre is an excellent electrologist. She has a lot of experience and is extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain the stages of hair growth and the removal process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for permanent hair removal. Her office is extremely clean and the atmosphere is professional. She also makes good use of technology by sending text message reminders to schedule future appointments. Sharon make the process so efficient. read more

I have been looking for an all organic facialist for a long time. I'm so glad I was able to get a facial from Pearl. She is so talented, kind, and friendly with so much knowledge. She has taken the time to understand all my skin concerns and answered all my questions. The facial itself was amazing and so calming. She made sure to address all my concerns and used products she knew would help my hyperpigmentation. We also discussed products and ingredients to look for in skincare lines to continue the healing process of my skin. The day after my facial, Pearl checked in to see how my skin was reacting to the products which I really appreciated. It shows that she is genuinely interested in the progress of her clients skin. I will definitely be a lifelong client of hers. read more

Elaine is the only electrolysist I've seen, so I don't have much to compare against - but it's been a very smooth process, and I have nothing but good things to say about her work and expertise. She's also an easy person to be around, and I appreciate that. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Elaine is fantastic. Not only is she very patient in answering questions, she is very straight forward with her input and guidance. As a first time electrolysis customer, it was a little nerve racking but Elaine did a fantastic job and keeps up a steady stream of communication so the process goes by quickly. I can highly recommend her! read more

I have been going to Elaine for over twenty years. She is incredible at her profession and super friendly. I would highly recommend her. She has a great sense of humor, too. :) read more

If you don't care about how hairy you are, or you only need a five minute visit to your electrologist every six months, then it probably doesn't really matter who you see. If you're cursed with being very hairy, then it *really* matters. If you're in that latter group like me, then I highly recommend Elaine Staats from the Image Enrichment Group in Cupertino . Elaine offers the full list of aesthetician-type services. I've been going to her regularly for electrolysis for over three years, and haven't regretted it for a moment. If you have a lot of hair to remove then not only do you have to get someone who's good enough to be able to get rid of that frustrating hair permanently, but you also need to make sure that you don't end up with any scarring from all that zapping. I've been very happy with the results. I've seen only an improvement from all of Elaine's work, and no down sides at all. If you have to have lots of multi-hour appointments, then you also need to have someone working on you who will either respect your desire for silence, or keep you occupied with sparkling conversation. Elaine has never disappointed me on this front either. Elaine has over twenty years of experience as an aesthetician and electrologist, so there's no need to deal with any learning curve. She clearly knows exactly what she's doing. She treats women, men and the transgendered with equal alacrity and experience. This is also not a small point. Some electrologists are squeamish about treating men or the transgendered. Elaine is more than happy to work with swarthy men with unruly unibrows, and with the transgendered seeking a more feminie visage. Very highly recommended. Nothing's cheap in this world, especially multi-hour labor-intensive visits over the years, but great value for money in my opinion. read more

Elaine provides great results, goes the extra mile for her clients, and is a very nice person. I have gone to several electrolysis professionals. Elaine is the best. She has eliminated the thick coarse hair from my face and other parts of my body more quickly than other Electrologist said it would take. She is meticulous and has never caused me any problems. In addition, I have unusually sensitive skin. Before Elaine I couldn't bear to have more than four or five hairs removed from my upper lip per session. Even using LMX or Ela- max it was too painful. It would have taken me years to get rid of the hair. Elaine made an arrangement with a doctor to come into her office to give her clients a numbing injection every three or four months. This has made work on my lip absolutely painless. She got my upper lip completely cleared in three sessions. She also referred me to a doctor who could provide a numbing cream that was more than five times as effective as LMX or Ela- max. Before I found Elaine I searched the internet and called all over. I was ready to fly down to Beverley Hills every couple of months to get rid of all the hair. I believe Elaine is the best electrolysis professional in Northern California. read more
