Finally a business that does what it promises 3/10/2012

I have tried various types of hair removal places that promised results that didn't pan out. I have blonde hair and the laser was a waste of time and money and money and more money. Nancy's Abracadabra got rid of my hair! They explained the process, didn't give me a run around and set real expectations. Over time, just like Nancy said, my unwanted hair is gone! Thank you Nancy and thank you Abracardabra. more

THIS IS THE BEST! 3/4/2012

I have been to other hair removal places in the past and know that this is the best permanant hair removal. I felt very comfortable. They took the time to explain the complete process and show all of the sterilization techniques they use. In just a few short weeks I already see a great reduction in my hair growth. I am SO happy. more

Experienced, Professional, Comfortable Hair Removal 11/24/2011

I have been seeing Nancy at Abracadabra for almost a year. I have been dealing with thick, uwanted facial hair for my entire life, and since seeing Nancy, it has become noticeable thinner. Nancy is extremely knowledgable, friendly, and professional, and is the only electrolysis who explained to me in detail how the treatments worked. She makes me feel extremely comfortable, and is always available to accomodate my schedule. I definitely recommend her services. more

Terrible - left black-and-blue bruise 10/19/2011

Have had electrolysis treatments elsewhere over the years. The first 2 times here with Leah were fine - some redness after, but it subsided quickly. On my 3rd visit Leah seemed to insert the needle deeper than previously and to my extreme displeasure when I got home I noticed a black-and-blue bruise about 1cm long x 1/2cm wide under my lower lip - VERY noticeable, VERY ugly. It's now 4 days later - gradually fading but still unsightly. Cover-up doesn't work. Never had bruising ever before. This is careless technique - don't go there - you don't want any bruises! more

Permanent hair removal with great comfort&professionalism 1/2/2011

Nancy at Abracadabra is the first and the last person who worked on my facial hair. I'm not going to look for anybody else because she is the only one I trust. Nancy gently and patiently removed my unwanted hair. Not only she is a professional hard working responsible person but also a great friend who makes you feel comfortable by taking her time for you. She will accommodate your schedule and always will make you happy! I'm lucky i found Nancy and would recommend her to everybody who needs to get rid of facial or body hair. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DEAR NANCY! more

Long term great results 1/1/2011

I am pleased to say that I am nearing my hair free goal. The only sad part will be not having a reason to continue to work with Nancy. She has been great through this whole experience. I see facials are now being offered, so I will try those next. more

PEER REVIEW..NANCY IS SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST 12/25/2010

As an electrologist and hair removal book author, I know technique is very important. I needed some areas treated that I could not see well to remove the hairs myself. I have had other people treat these areas and I found Nancy Star to be the best. My eyebrow area, some hairs on the back of my once very hairy arms, are now gone forever. If you?re worried about the sensation, I didn?t feel anything. I highly recommend her, even though I also work in New York City in midtown. Vivian Orgel more

The only permanant hair removal that's worked for me! 12/19/2010

I'm a fair-skinned, Italian woman & facial hair has always been an embarrassing & unruly problem for me. Because of my light skin & dark hair, I was told I was a perfect candidate for laser hair removal. After about 10 treatments & $2,000, I still had a full beard & mustache! I had tried electrolysis years ago & it was very painful. My skin is sensitive & I got very swollen & scabbed badly. I had resolved to getting waxed every couple weeks for over 10 years. After some convincing, I started seeing Nancy about 1.5 yrs ago. I have had treatments now with Nancy & Jillian. I love them both! I told Nancy about my history & she is very careful to use a needle for sensitive skin & use a lower setting. Low & behold, something finally worked!!! The pain is minimal, but absolutely worth it! I trust Nancy completely & I'm still astonished that I'm almost (facial) hair-free! We have a few more treatments to go & I can't tell you how thrilled I am. GO! You will not be disappointed! more

ABRACADABRA ELECTROLYSIS 12/13/2010

Almost 20 years ago I went to Nancy, CPE to work on my bikini area and to this day, I am still completely hair free! Now, I am pretty hairy and my hairs tend to be thick and black so if she can get rid of those hairs she can get rid of anything. Nevertheless, about a year or two ago I began to get some facial hair and decided to try what I had heard so much about: lazer hair removal. Well I bought a package of 6 and even though I didn't have much facial hair they continued to grow back. Later on I went to a very well known lazer spa and bought another package of 6! I gave up but later remembered Nancy and found her. My facial hair is now completely gone! Try her. She's immaculate, professional, licensed, and really nice. You can even sit in her waiting room for an hour with your emla before you get your treatment! Try her - you'll see what I mean. Those lazer treatments really don't work and they DO hurt. more

certified and spotless 12/5/2010

Once a month, fantastic Christine works at Abracadabra and she is the one I have been seeing for years..... although now only a few times a year for a gentle weeding. She was recommended by my dermatologist at NY Hospital and I will be eternally grateful. She also works in the evening which suits my schedule. I know that Nancy the owner, also comes highly recommended. They now do facials as well. more

AMAZING RESULTS 11/30/2010

Before I started my treatments with Nancy, I was reluctantly a ""facial hair removal expert"" for 10+ years during my quest to remove annoying, ugly, embarrassing facial hair. I have tried laser hair removal at the ""trendy"" places in the city, to the top plastic surgeons all across Fairfield County. I even tried electrolysis in Italy. And NOTHING compares to the results I've had with Nancy at Abracadabra. I have no idea what she does, but it is working unlike any treatment I have ever tried. I go to Nancy every few weeks, and the results have been incredible. After every session I ask, ""How many hairs did we get today?"" And the number ALWAYS goes down, because the results are PERMANENT! As an added bonus, the electrolysis has also cleared up pesky acne on my chin and jaw line! I 100% recommend Nancy and can honestly say she has provided me with the BEST hair removal service I've ever had. more

The best thing I've ever done - it's painless 11/30/2010

Knowing Nancy Star for over 20 year she is the only one I would trust doing permanent hair removal on my body! I travel from Queens to come to Abracadabra Electrolysis located on 89th Street in NYC. Nancy is well educated in her field and treats her clients like family. I would recommend permanent hair removal to anyone and Nancy is the person to see! Refer a friend and do something special for yourself!! more

The Best 11/23/2010

I was referred to Nancy Star, CPE while she was renting space at the 92nd St. Y. Although it is a nice to know that the Y still recommends her, I do have to say that I love her new office right around the corner on 89th Street. I didn't like going through the metal detectors at the Y or waiting very long for their elevators. Nancy's new studio is right off the street and very private. I never run into a lot of people in her office because her office is not shared by other practitioners. I like to sit in her cozy waiting area an hour in advance, with my Emla Creme to numb the area being worked on, and I never have to worry that I will run into another practitioner's clientele. Nancy has become a great confidant and I look forward to my visits with her. While I am getting my hair removed, I feel like I am getting a free ""therapy session"" by telling her everything on my mind. She is a great listener. She has done a great job removing my hair and I look forward going back to her each time to start on new areas of my body. more

Run don't walk 11/19/2010

I have been to so many electrologist places in the past that I was not happy with. But doctors at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital referred me to Nancy star cpe. I have seen immediate results. Her office is very sterile,she uses disposable probes and wears gloves. She has a very calming personality and I feel very comfortable with her. I highly recommend. By the way I have also tried laser hair removal and it was not permanent like electrolysis. more

Excellent, Board Certified! 11/18/2010

I investigated several options thoroughly before deciding to go with Nancy Star at Abracadabra. The big reason I chose Nancy is because she is C.P.E. BOARD CERTIFIED. I literally went to the board's website and checked to see who was listed in my area. I was willing to trek to the other side of town just to see her for precisely that reason. Surprisingly there are many working electrolysists who are not board certified. If you go to the wrong professional, you subject yourself to scarring. The great thing about Nancy is she is precise and you will definitely see results. I did work on my face and have no scarring from Nancy's treatment whatsoever. What's more, Nancy is friendly and personable and makes the whole experience easy. more

Great results, great service 11/17/2010

Nancy is very knowledgeable and understanding and gets the job done (she is just as passionate as you are about getting rid of every little hair!). When I first visited her, I showed her some of the issues I was having with someone else I was going to when I lived in CT, and we figured out that I was allergic to stainless steel. We immediately remedied the situation with a gold probe and my skin has significantly improved. She was very realistic about how much time it will take and what to expect.. So far, my results have been great and I have seen a drastic reduction (as evidenced by my less frequent visits). She is also great at accomodating you with evening appointments and trying to fit you in if she is in town. more

BEST PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL IN NEW YORK CITY 11/16/2010

I was referred to Nancy Star C.P.E. by my dermatologist on the upper east side. I originally went there for my eyebrow to be shaped. In just a few short visits my hair never came back. I enjoyed the time in her office so much I decided to start other body parts that I didn't even know you can do. Now I go there 1 hour a week and lay on the table and tell her check me from head to toe. Check my brows, upper lip, chin, breasts, abdomen,underarms,bikini line legs. etc. I also actually like the time to lay down on the table and unwind. Nancy is a great listener and really understands the embarrassment I had experienced in the past from unwanted hair. Now I'm not self-conscious at all anymore. Thank you I love you Nancy Star. C.P.E. more
