A. Ronni Kolotkin Electrolysis, INC

Be wary of their scheduling system! Although Lisa did a good job, I was charged $114 for a mistake the office made! Then when I called to correct it, they would not answer the phone If you ever need to cancel an appointment make 100% sure you get a cancellation email otherwise you will pay! Pros: Lisa, junior electrolist Cons: horrific scheduling system, charges customers erroneously more

I am not one to write reviews, but I must, as I had the best experience at Ronni Kolotkin Inc. I booked an appointment to have eyelash extensions put in. My appointment was scheduled with DAWN. Thanks to her very diligent and precise technique I now have BEAUTIFUL, LONG and FABULOUS lashes. This was a pain free procedure! I highly recommend this service and I strongly recommend requesting DAWN! Pros: long beautiful lashes, outstanding service in a serene envir more

I had a wonderful experience, great staff, lovely office, and the best part is....my 'beard and mustache are GONE!. Thanks Ronni!. Pros: great results and professional service more

This was the most expensive thing I ever did for myself. I did try other methods of hair removal. The were cheaper and seemed to work very fast. Unfortunately they didn't work and I actually ended up with more hair. Having facial hair for a woman is the most embarrassing and horrible thing you can ever live through. Magazines and even doctors didn't tell the truth about what you should and shouldn't do for hair removal. Someone told me about this place. I looked at the website. Read the facts. Bit the bullet. Had a consultation. Made a commitment. Now I am totally hair free. My face is smooth. This turned out to be the best $$ I ever spent. I would urge anyone suffering with this horrible problem to do this. It really works. And now, I am really happy! Pros: You get real results Cons: Very strict but professional more

Ronni kolotkin is one of the most trusted and experienced places in the city to go for skin care and hair removal. She and her staff have been doing this since 72. And she genuinely cares for her patients, and their satisfaction. A true gem! more

I pretended that I didn't have a problem with facial hair. Then my boyfriend wanted to know why was I always touching my chin. I didn't realize it but I was always feeling my face for those little stubbles that would appear more and more. I was tweezing my chin at least 3 times a day. Morning, noon and night. I was becoming obsessed with the hair. I felt like this was my hobby. Tweezing all the time. Then I realized I was doing this more and more. When my boyfriend confronted my chin touching hobby I knew it was time to do something. I was carrying Ronni's card around for about 3 years. I knew this was a huge commitment! Then I was ready. Now I've been having Electrolysis for about one year. My face is smooth. I am so happy I can't even say how very thrilled I am. The end is near. I really should have done this years ago. But, better late than never. Thank you Ronni and your lovely staff for making my dream come true. This really does work. And, worth every dollar. Pros: I love coming here for my appointments! Cons: I can't think of one thing! more

I was embarrassed for years about the hair on my face, and became really obsessed with tweezing - I was doing it every day! Who knew - I was actually making it worse! By the time I went to Ronni's office I had made a real mess of my face, but I was assured that I would be happy with my results. I am, in fact, beyond happy. The hair that I obsessed about for years is gone! I would recommend Ronni's office to anyone - they are so professional and they delivered on their promise to me! Pros: Hair is gone! more

Overpriced services and 50% more expensive than 2 years ago. $70 for 15 wasted minutes- checked the clock and Ronni only actually spent 10 minutes with me before pushing me out. Went home and saw all the areas she missed and was frustrated at the wasted time (and that it cost a small fortune). No cover on my pillow felt unsanitary. as did the lack of bed cover. obnoxious and inexperienced staff. unpleasant experience. thankful that there are many more options in this city. Cons: obnoxious staff, unclean office more

I had many projects done at Ronni's when I lived\r in Manhattan. I guess I took it for granted. Now\r I travel around the world. Have tried many places\r in other countries and towns and cities. Nothing\r is as good as this. When I come to NY I always\r book way in advance to get some work done. \r I wish I would have done more when I lived there. Pros: The best Electrolysis anywhere in the Universe Cons: I can't get to NYC often enough more

Hurts for a moment; relieves for a lifetime. I found Ronni when I was 24, and had been tweezing very thick brown hairs on my chin since age 14. Actually, at age 14 my parents paid for not-very-good electrolysis that did not improve the condition. Ronni made me promise to put down my tweezers--clip if necessary--and she would do the rest. I saw her for a number of years. Yes, that's right, folks, years. In the beginning, for 1.5 hours per week. My medical condition, PCOS, resulted in inappropriate body hair on my face only. Some sufferers get lots of body hair--chest, back--I did not. My face did, and so, as a woman in this society, I had to deal with it. Actually, Ronni dealt with it. Until today, I had not seen her for four years--I really did not need to. However, now at age 60, one or two renegade hairs had grown back (or new hairs arrived), and in one 15-minute session, it seems that the entire crop is gone. At 24, I was mortified about the hair on my face. As I let Ronni work on me in my first session, I laid there laughing, with utter relief, that finally I had the money (just enough, week-to-week), the courage (for the little jabs of pain from the electricity), and a person who was and is competent to really do the job. At 60, I remain a satisfied customer. Thank you, Ronni. Pros: Ronni gets the job done Cons: The job has to be done. more

This was a big move for me. I'm happy I picked this place. They are so nice and I've seen great results. I feel that my future is bright. Looking good! Pros: Very sweet understanding people Cons: Not a thing more

I was told that Electrolysis was not an option for\r dark skin. Then a friend of mine told me she had\r cleared her face and neck doing Electrolysis.\r She was going to Ronni's and her skin looked\r smooth and beautiful. I went for a consultation.\r I followed the rules for after-care and now I have\r no more unwanted hair and my skin is smooth.\r I am very happy and would absolutely recommend\r this place to anyone who is interested in taking\r the permanant route. Pros: They deliver the goods Cons: strict policies more

The project I took on was extremely daunting. I never\r thought I could stick to it. I actually began to look forward to my appointments. The hair started to go\r away. This is something I would recommend to anyone\r with this problem. Pros: they deliver the goods Cons: you have to book way in advance to get an appointment more

I thought about doing this forever. I carried Ronni's\r card in my purse for years. I knew I would be \r getting started on a huge project and wouldn't be\r able to stop. Well I became obsessed with Electrolysis.\r I was getting rid of my hair and this made me so happy.\r I was always thinking about what area I would do next.\r I've been doing this for a few years but have made so\r much progress. Soon I will be hairless in all the places\r that bothered me. Don't wait too long. This really works! Pros: You get rid of your hair in a wonderful atmosphere more

It makes me want to cry when I remember how miserable my facial hair made me. I did everything I could to hide my problem. Unfortunately it kept getting worse. I tried everything I heard about that promised to rid me of this problem. I spent a fortune on waxing, threading and laser. The hair just got darker and thicker and multiplied. I was hesitant to do Electrolysis because I realized it was a real commitment. Finally after all the other failures I called Ronni Kolotkin's office. Went for a consultation. I had a very positive feeling that I was finally on the right track. Yes, it did take a year. Yes, it did cost. But not as much as Laser and guess what! My hair is gone. My skin is smooth. I am happy. Thank you very much! Pros: They promise - they deliver! Cons: Not one little thing more

I wanted to get rid of my Bikini hair. I tried everything else. My in-grown hairs were awful. It kept getting worse and worse. I went to another place for Electrolysis and it was terribly painful. A friend told me that she had her legs done at Ronni's and it was very pleasant and they used ice to numb her. It sounded great to me. I went there. It took one year. Just like they promised. My bikini line is smooth and hairless. I am very pleased and would recommend this great place to anyone who has a problem with unwanted hair. Pros: A most pleasant experience Cons: Slow Elevators more

I went here to work on my lip and chin. Got that done. Did my bikini line, etc., etc. That's all done. I go here for really good facials. I really enjoy going to Ronni's office. I feel that it's an oasis in the middle of the city. Now I'm going to start my teenage daughter before she begins messing with her hair. No one is perfect. At least that I know of. If you want to look good, you have to pay the price. This is a price worth paying. It works! Everyone is very nice. The place is quite lovely. I'm really glad they are here. Pros: This really does work! Cons: They get very booked. Have to wait for an appt. at times more

Everytime I put an honest review on citysearch, Ronni's office has it removed. Let me keep this brief. Ronni has a clean office with friendly staff. However, the service from associates if subpar and expensive. I have found a better electrolysist who is more efficient, cheaper, has a less painful machine and does not cause scabbing to my skin. You may like Ronni's office, but my advice is to ignore the other reviews on this site (they are obviously coming from Ronni's office) and shop around before signing away your savings. I pay $20 for 15 minutes at my current, superior electrolysist, and was paying at least $60 at Ronni's office for 15 mintues. Pros: clean and prompt Cons: expensive, service is NOT superior more

I went to Ronni's place a few times. Felt it was a little pricey. Wanted to see what my other options were. I love options. So I went to another Electrolysist uptown. First of all. I waited 45 minutes for my treatment to begin after my appointment time. This is a real problem for me because I actually went there on my lunch break. Then, the person who was working on my actually was on the phone the entire time making plans for dinner. The next time I had an appointment when I got to the office there was a note on the door saying something had come up and she couldn't make it. That was the end! How can I go to a place like that? I consider this abuse. So when I considered the time I lost from my day I felt that the cost of this new place was much too high. I really appreciate professional, attentive service. This is what you get at Ronni's place. Now, I would never put up with anything less that the best! That's what you get here. Pros: Everything here is top notch. Five star service. more

I have been thinking about this for years. My out of control facial hair situation has taken up an amazing amount of emotional energy. I have been carrying around Ronni Kolotkin's business card for ages. Today was my first appointment. I am so excited! Everything about this place says""PROFESSIONAL"" This is just what I am looking for. I had my first treatment and can't wait for more. I'm throwing away my tweezer and my was machine. This is it. A new beginning. Pros: Life changing Cons: not one more
