This changed my life. I am reborn! 8/10/2009

I can't believe it took me this long to make this commitment! I knew in my heart that this was the only real, and true way to get rid of your hair. I guess it was the commitment that I was afraid of. Don't wait! This is something that makes you feel soooooo good! You get rid of you hair. It never comes back. It's an investment in time and money. But so worth every minute and every dollar! this really changes your life like nothing else you can do! Pros: This is the best thing you can do for yourself. Cons: Waiting too long. more

It's so great to know 8/6/2009

I tried lots of things that did not work. I thought about my unsightly hair all the time. Always felt that others were looking at me and thinking my hair was disgusting. My neck. My chest. My uni-brow. My shoulders and arms. I obsessed everyday. All day long. I heard about Electrolysis. I knew people who said it really worked. I decided to try Laser. It seemed easy and fast. I didn't read the small print that said ""PERMANENT REDUCTION"" I opted for the ""quick fix"" I didn't want to commit to the old reliable. Well, I paid dearly. I spent thousands of $$$ and guess what happened? I ended up with more hair. What a terrible feeling! So finally I came to my senses and decided to really make a commitment! Well folks I'm here to tell you that Electrolysis really works. Yes, it's slow. Yes it's expensive. But if you go to the real professionals - it really does work! So guess what? I paid the price. Now my hair is gone. Skin is smooth. So maybe I couldn't go to Rio. But I feel so good about myself. I have not regrets. Don't waste your time and money. Go to Ronni's place. Take the time. Pay the price. Then, feel happy! YES! Pros: Paying for something that does work! Cons: Nothing at all! more

My roll models were hippies who didn't shave their legs! 8/5/2009

When I went away to college I realized it wasn't cool to have hairy legs, underarms and facial hair. I didn't really know about being feminine. My college roommate was only concerned about looking good and getting dates. She informed me in no uncertain terms that men where not attracted to women with mustaches. I really wanted to fit in so I bought a tweezer and started to pull out my chin hairs and even started to pull out my arm and leg hair. This became my very favorite pastime! I became obsessed with digging and pulling hair! Then to my amazement the hair began to get thicker and grow in faster and faster. This was a total nightmare! Then I started waxing! Things got worse! Then I tried Laser and my hair started to multiply by the minute! Even though I was so embarrassed, I asked my doctor what I should do about my ever increasing hair growth. He told me that Electrolysis was the only way to get rid of this problem forever. He gave me the business card for Ronni Kolotkin. I bless him everyday! This was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me until that moment. Now I have many more wonderful moments in my life thanks to my treatments at Ronni's office. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I didn't take this step that ended my worst nightmare. I bless these women every day for helping me to become the most beautiful person that I am now! Pros: I became the best me by getting rid of my chin hair! Cons: I waited much too long! more

Can't believe how far I've come 8/5/2009

I went to see Ronni the other day and didn't realize that I hadn't been there in almost two years. I thought it was about 6 months since my last treatment. When I first began the process of Electrolysis I was going for about one hour per week for my neck and chin problem. I had been tweezing and waxing for too long. It was very difficult to surrender (as Ronni calls it) to the process and believe it will really work. Well I am here to tell you it is the most wonderful thing you can ever do for yourself. I'm thinking maybe I should start working on a new area because I actually miss those guys at Ronni's and her adorable puppies too! I am very satisfied! Thank you! I am a true believer. I am the real proof! Pros: This is something that really does work! Cons: I miss seeing Ronni and her staff now that I'm hairfree more

My whole family became hairless here! 8/4/2009

My Mother, Grandmother, Sisters, Brother, Daughters and Nieces have all gone here. The results are always beautiful. I am a Doctor and send all my Patients to Ronni and her staff. We wouldn't go anywhere else! Pros: Every Detail is attended to Cons: Cancellation Policy more

THINK TWICE!! 8/1/2009

Please be ware of the risks associated with electrolysis, especially on the face! My close friend was recently treated and burned by Ronni's staff and now has bumpy skin on her face that is discolored and pitting. It has been many weeks and she has not seen improvement. Please carefully consider the risks of this treatment! I urge you to google ""electrolysis skin damage"" and think twice so you won't end up with regrets. Better to have hair that you can remove than scars that you can't. more

I Feel Good! 7/25/2009

I tried everything else to get rid of my facial hair! I began thinking nothing would ever work! I overheard some women talking about their Electrolysis in my nail place. They showed me their hairless parts. So smooth. This is what I've always dreamed about. I went to Ronni Kolotkin's office. They very clearly told me what to expect. I listened. I bought a package. I stopped tweezing, waxing, threading. Now it's been 14 months. I am hairless. This really works. I could not have been happier. Thank you! Pros: In the hands of real professionals Cons: Slow Elevators more

Time and price .... 7/18/2009

This is all about how wonderful Dr Ronni is , how amazing her staff is, etc .... what about some facts like : if you need electrolysis treatment in your chin, how many times a week you need to go ?, for how long?, 2 month? 3 month?, how much money did you ended up paying ? .. I DO CARE ABOUT HOW GOOD DR RONNI STAFF IS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO NOW ABOUT PRICING AND TIMING !!! THANK YOU. more

I'm looking at the sun with a huge smile on my hairfree face 6/27/2009

I started waxing my face because my friend told me the hair would eventually go away. Instead it kept getting thicker and thicker. What a nightmare! I went to a laser place and the tech slipped Ronni's card into my hand once we were alone - and told me to have Electrolysis instead and that laser wouldn't work. How can I ever thank her? She literally saved my life. I did go to Ronni's! Now after a year (just what they told me) my facial hair is gone and I can live like a normal person. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I wish I had done it sooner! Pros: Beautiful office - friendly welcoming staff more

Great place to do business with! 6/11/2009

I was looking for a professional establishment to go to for hair removal and facials. My Doctor told me this is the only place she recommends for these services. What could be better than getting a recommendation from a professional you trust. I went here. Felt comfortable. Taken care of. The office is clean and comfortable. The staff is welcoming, warm and friendly. My Electrolysis is working amazingly well. The facials are the best I've had - anywhere! Now I'm considering having Eyelash Extensions. The whole staff has them and they look amazing! I'm a happy client! Pros: Great customer service more

This works like nothing else! 6/6/2009

I am very happy. I can take my shirt off in public and not\r worry. I honestly didn't believe anything could do the\r trick on my thick body hair. I was waxing and it was hell! I had to wait each time for the hair to get long enough. Then I had to deal with painful ingrown hairs. Then I thought it was getting worse. I knew laser didn't work because my sister worked as a tech in a laser place and told me ""don't do it"" She actually started going to Ronni's for Electrolysis and was secretly sending her clients there because she felt sorry for them. She said it worked. I went. It did! Now my sister is becoming an Electrolosist! She really wants to help people. This is a good thing! I told the staff and Ronni's how happy I was. They asked me to\r write a review. Here it is! I am a fan! Pros: worth every dollar Cons: They are very strict about their policies more

My dream has come true 6/5/2009

I suffered for so long because of my facial hair! I tried everything under the sun to get rid of it. Nothing worked. I heard about Electrolysis but though it would be painful, expensive, and maybe it wouldn't work. I went to a few other Electrolysis centers but they were very unprofessional. I checked into Citysearch and read all of the great reviews for Ronni Kolotkin. I gave it a try and now I have a smooth face. No more stubbles. What more could I ask for. My dream has come true. My nightmare is over! I couldn't be happier! Pros: My hair is gone forever! Cons: I waited so long! more

Amazing Place 5/28/2009

I have needed electrolysis for quite some time now and kept talking myself out of it. I went to Ronni's office for the first time yesterday and I am so happy. \r \r The thing that terrified me was how was I going to look after treatment, because I need it on my face and chin and I didn't want anyone to notice. Plus I figured I would have to walk around all hairy for a few days. \r \r Well no extreme redness, and I don't have to walk around all hairy. PLUS they gave me this fantastic liquid tint for my areas to use for two days after the procedure that covers better than my clinique makeup does. \r \r Although I can tell it will become an addictive behavior. \r \r **********UPDATE*********\r Ok, it has been 6 weeks, and although I am not even close to being done I am so excited about my progress. \r \r When I first started electrolysis I stopped plucking and started shaving. I had to shave twice a day to hide the hair, and it was so damn coarse. Now each coarse hair has been treated and I only have to shave maybe once a day and I can barely feel the hair. The old hair would have popped a balloon!!\r \r I still have a good amount of treatments ahead of me, but I really didn't expect to see results this fast. My skin is so much nicer, and I have stopped breaking out from the plucking. Janna the electrologist I see, said when I came in my chin and neck was basically one big scab, and it has healed since electrolysis.\r \r I was so afraid to start because of the redness/scabbing, having to shave, and even just having to admit that I had a problem BUT I am so happy I did. I have some bumps for 24-48 hours after the treatments, but as a person who has suffered from acne in the past, I can handle it. Plus, they give you a great product to cover up the area for 48 hours that works wonders. \r \r I am estimating it will cost between $2,000 and $3,000 when I am done (I had a lot of hair on my chin and neck). It seems like a lot, but my self confidence has already improved greatly. I thought I would be plagued forever trying to hide my face, but I cry at the thought that in less than a year I will be free from my facial hair troubles. It will be worth every cent I will pay. Stop putting it off, and do it. You will be so thankful you did. \r Pros: So Helpful and Friendly Cons: None at the Moment more

Best thing I've ever done! 5/17/2009

I was very confused about hair removal. I tried so many other things and nothing else worked. My problem was\r getting worse every day. Then I went to Ronni's office.\r Everyone was so nice and caring. They explained\r everything to me. Even though I wanted to believe\r Electrolysis would work it was so difficult because of\r all the other methods that made things worse. I decided this was my last chance. If this didn't work\r I was out of options. Well just like they promised, in\r a few months everything started to change and my\r hair began to come back less and less. Now after\r a year I'm really 99% hairfree except for a few stray\r fuzzy hairs that I know will be gone any minute. This is the most amazing thing! It has truly changed my life and I will be forever grateful to Ronni Kolotkin and her\r amazing staff! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Pros: You really get rid of your hair here more

Amazing Electroloysis 4/10/2009

I starting seeing Ronni several months ago and I've never been happier. I have been going for electrolysis on and off over the years and this is by far the best results that I have seen. Fast results in a short period of time, which is fabulous! Ronni is a doll and the environment is pleasant and staff is very polite and friendly. Look no further and make your appointment now since spring is here and appointments fill up quickly. Pros: Great Results in a relaxing environment more

Best Electrolysis in New York, perhaps in the country! 3/4/2009

Ronni is simply the best electrologist a woman (or man) could hope for. She is informative, kind, and gentle, and you walk away not only unwanted hair-free but with a new friend, too! For years I've agonized over unwanted hair in places I thought no one else had hair, but Ronni made me realize that many women find themselves in the same position. I tried expensive laser treatments at several different facilities to no avail. Then I came to Ronni and saw results immediately. After only my first treatment, the amount of unwanted hair had been reduced by 75%. My life has changed because of Ronni. I am much more confident in and out of bed! There is no reason to see anyone else but her for electrolysis. Pros: Great ambiance, nice people, effective treatment! more

They really DO get rid of hair permanently! 2/25/2009

I've gone to Ronni for about a year and a half now. She's a great person and her office is a true find. It seems unbelievable that hair removal can be both permanent and pleasant, but this is what Ronni delivers. I've had my upper lip and chin done, and the difference is dramatic. Ronni is warm, professional, compassionate and down to earth, and the people who work for her are fabulous as well. The office is clean and pleasant, they play mellow music, and your appointment is actually relaxing! The results are reliable and permanent - a great relief for anyone who's struggled w/ unwanted hair, and worth every penny. I cannot recommend Ronni's office highly enough - it's an investment in yourself that's absolutely worth making! Pros: SKILL, evening/weekend hours, excellent all around treatment more

Words cannot express how happy I am! 2/3/2009

During my 30's, I began developing this awful, dark, facial hair, so I would just pluck it out with a tweezer. I work full-time and I have two small children, so I have very little time for myself. After a while, I found myself tweezing twice a day and I became very embarrassed because of the stubble that would develop by the end of each day. I went on-line and found Ronnie's site and these reviews. I hoped that one day I would be one of Ronnie's success stories. Well, I am happy to say that I am. I was very lucky and began seeing results after 3 months. It works and it does not hurt. I even stopped using the numbing cream after a while. However, you must listen to Ronnie and follow her skin care instructions. Also, you have to agree to stop tweezing forever!!!! Pros: This cat lover is now a dog lover as well. Her dogs are adorable! Very clean office. Cons: Don't cancel at the last minute! I kept my visit even when I had the flu! more

Finished My Face - Bikini Next Project! 1/2/2009

I have now completed Electrolysis on my entire face. Lip, chin, sideburns! FREEDOM!!!! It's the\r best thing I have ever spent my money on. I was saving to buy an apartment. Now with the\r economy being so uncertain, I decided to hold on to my savings and have my body completely\r de-haired. Section by section. This has honestly made me happier than I've ever been as\r far as I can remember. I was so self concious and embarassed by the unsightly hair on my\r face. I felt like everyone was probably staring at me. Because I'm half Italian and half Spanish\r I have a real problem with unwanted hair. I tried every other method of hair removal. Nothing\r worked until I went to Ronni Kolotkins place. This is truly my dream come true. Everyone there\r is so nice. All the Electrologists are really nice and enjoyable to talk to. I consider it\r therapy. If you're considering Electrolysis I sincerely urge you to do it! Don't wait! I waited\r too long. I could have been this happy years ago. Thank you Ronni Kolotkin and everyone\r else at your lovely spa! This place is very unique! And I am thrilled with the great results! Pros: You get rid of the hair you hate forever! Cons: You wish you did it sooner! more

Last Year's New Years Resolution 1/1/2009

Last year I made a New Years Resolution to finally get rid of my horrible facial hair situation. By\r then I was tweezing everyday. Sometimes twice a day. A couple of years ago I went off ""the pill""\r I didnt' know at the time that this could cause hair growth on my face. At first it wasn't too bad\r but then a friend told me to wax. This was great! I went to my regular nail place and had them\r wax my chin, lip and sides of my face. I was thrilled at first. My face was smooth and hair free!\r Then in a few months of doing this I noticed that the hairs were coming in darker and stronger.\r So not only was I waxing but started tweezing in between waxing treatments. I honestly felt like\r I was in the middle of the worst nightmare imaginable. I was constantly pulling the hairs out\r of my face. They were coming in faster and darker. I thought I was becoming a man! I was\r too embarassed to even confide to my sister what was going on. I started to do some research\r and also asked my Dermatologist what I should do. I was considering Laser hair removal but\r thank heavens my Doctor told me that Laser really wasn't really permanant and could actually\r scar me if it wasn't done the right way. She told me that Electrolysis was really the only way\r to get rid of my problem forever. She told me she always recommended Ronni Kolotkin because\r she had actually seen great results from her and even had gone there herself. What a great\r recommendation! So last January I bit the bullet and made the call. They told me that I could\r actually be rid of my problem in one year! They also told me that I could never, ever pull any of\r the hairs out because If I did it wouldn't work. I was a little afraid but really trusted my Doctor.\r So I began having treatments at Ronni Kolotkin's. Everyone was so kind and understanding\r and helpful. Now it is 2009 and it's true! I AM REALLY HAIR FREE! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME! Pros: Lovely staff. Beautiful office. Open 7 days a week! Cons: Not one! more
