So many reviews talk about Ronnie and her amazing staff (all of which is 100% true), so I think I should write about why I chose electrolysis.....
not only did I have a very hairy upper lip area, but because I threaded or waxed it almost every week, it became discolored. I stopped taking pictures and was never seen without makeup (in attempts to cover the area). After much research (on laser, threading, and other hair-removal methods) and consultations with my dermatologist and esthetician, I decided to setup a consultation with Ronnie (she will never starts any work on you unless she sets up a free consultation with new clients discussing the treatment and your expectations, and unless you're 100% sure electrolysis is the way you want to go, she won't encourage you to schedule an appointment). I've been going to her for a little over a year; first for upper lip only and now for chin as well because I don't like facial hair. I never imagined I could leave the house without make-up or covering my discolored upper lip area, but now, I don't wear make-up at all.
My mom also comes to Ronnie now for what used to be a thick and dark beard which is now gone. And she only sees Ronnie for 15 mins every 2 months. Among may things that I love about Ronnie are:
- she never tells you to make a 45-min or 1hr appointment when all you need is a 30-min session. You have to lover her for not being greedy!
- she's really accommodating and is always concerned about her client's comfort(ex. she once gave me a last min appointment on a night that she was suppose to leave early).
- I love talking to her: she's a friend and shrink.
I would definitely advise you to stay away from Ronnie if you're impatient or extremely unorganized. Because she's very professional, she will charge you for not showing up (she does send e-mail confirmations, so it's hard to forget or miss an appointment).
I've never been to any other electrologist, and I wouldn't want to. I'd rather pay a bit more at Ronnie than experiment with others. Speaking of paying, I definitely don't think Ronnie is expensive: buy a $500 card and get $600, which lasts me about 4-5months (because I share it with my mom). I think $90 every 6-8 weeks for 30mins is really not bad considering you'll be extremely happy with the results.
Happy electrolysis everyone =)
Pros: Everything
