Generally, I don't consider myself a vain person, but I was so tired of darker hairs appearing on my face. I had used facial bleach for years, but it felt tedious and unhealthy. I decided to look into more permanent hair removal options and decided on electrolysis. I met with Valeria for my first session. She explained the process and after care. The space itself is bright and clean. I've seen more than one technician and they've been friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm not gonna lie, electrolysis isn't pain free and it's not a one and done procedure. I went once a month for approximately 7 months and now return occasionally for some areas that need attention. I've been really happy with my experience here and the results. read more

Very trans friendly and comfortable. For some reason Chicago has a lot of places that do large-volume electrolysis with anesthia, and other states don't! I couldn't find anywhere in LA that would do the "two electrologists + lidocaine shots" deal, I flew here all the way from SF, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I was on the table from 10 AM to 5 PM. The nurse-practitioner, Irina, did the lidocaine injections, and OIga and Anna were my electrologists. Everyone was great about gendering me correctly, and I didn't see anyone else in their Chicago office (one thing to watch out for is it is unmarked, with tinted windows, so it can be a bit hard to find). I've heard the lidocaine shots hurt, but they weren't as bad as I feared, and the team is sensitive to the pain, there is a little squeezy ball to squeeze and this vibrating doohickey to distract you. When they're working, they work very quickly, and I got the impression they get more hairs in a session than my regular electrologist. It still hurt a bit when they got to the edges of the numbed areas, but that's life! Definitely worth doing if you're mtf and looking to get electrolysis done less painfully and more quickly. read more

I have moved frequently in my life and been seen by multiple certified electrolysis professionals, so I feel competent to give a review of Valeria's services. She works quickly and effectively. She involves the client and really listens to what bothers them. Unlike some I have been to, she does not dismiss difficult to find hairs. Valeria also takes extra steps to reduce redness. I would rate Valeria as the very best certified electrolysis professional I have ever been to and I am so fortunate to have found her. read more

I came across electrolysis and found Valeria, I didn't know anything about electrolysis. I had my consultation with her and she educated me on the process thoroughly and told me all the expectations throughout the journey. She is very professional and friendly. Tips: 1. Use a good moisturizer and a good oil while going to sleep and make sure your skin is hydrated. This makes the electrolysis process easier. 2. Make your appointments every 3-4 weeks so that the treatment is effective 3. You have to be patient as it may take a couple sessions to start seeing the results. I have had almost 6 sessions now and do see the results clearly, This is 100% more effective then Laser hair removal process(my experience resulted in more hair) so do not waste you money on ineffective methods. read more

I've been going here for a few months now. Valeria Is awesome!!! She's super nice and knowledgeable but, most importantly, does great work. There is no plucking or inadequate insertions.

Had a great experience with Valeria for electrolysis. She is very professional, nice and knowledgable and provides a good result. Really enjoyed my experience with her and will come back for touch ups in the future. Price is reasonable too. read more

Valeria is the best! Before finding her, I spent thousands of dollars trying every method of hair removal on the market to remove facial hair and not one of them worked. In fact, the multiple treatments made my skin worse. All previous technicians and physicians discouraged me from trying electrolysis saying it would be too painful. I regret listening to them. Fifteen years later, myth squelched! Electrolysis does not hurt! Valeria recommended I use numbing cream before the treatments and I do not feel any pain - whatsoever - when she works on me. Most astonishing is that electrolysis works and finally my facial hair is gone forever. I am confident in my recommendation of Valeria. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and enjoyable to be around. I actually look forward to my visits with her. You, too, will be surprised and delighted. read more

I had my first appointment with Valeria about a year ago, and she is amazing. I have been suffering from hormone imbalance due to bad side effect from birth control and started growing unwanted hair on my face. I did research and decided that electrolysis was the right choice for me. I met with Valeria, spoke to her about my issue. She answered all my questions and was very supportive of what I was going through. Valeria made me feel so comfortable. We did my first session and she was extremely careful and gentle, I barely felt anything. Needless to say but she is amazing at what she does! I highly recommend Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal and I am extremely excited to continue my own journey with them. read more

Valeria is amazing! If you are looking for permanent hair removal, Valeria will take care of you! I drive over two hours to see her regularly and wouldn't have it any other way. Valeria has work ethic like I've never seen. I usually have two hour appointments and she gets more done in those two hours then any other electrologist I've ever seen. If you are thinking about getting electrology, go to Valeria. She is hands down the best! read more

Hair removal sometime can be challenging because it can be tedious and painful in some sensitive areas. A good electrolysis can help you overcome that. I know Valeria from the day she started the program. After she received her license we both started working on removing the unwanted hair from my body. Today I am happily hairless on my legs, armpits and genital area. It's been a slow process but with great results. read more

Valeria is great! She is very easy to talk to and cares about what you want out of each appointment. No matter the length of your appointment she is always detailed and works to get as much done out of each appointment. She has experience with all different skin tones and hair textures. I myself am and have very thick course hair. I have tried everything and nothing was working how I wanted. It is a gradual process but stick with it and you see improvement. Going to Valeria for electrolysis has been the best decision I have made! read more

Best electrolysis experience I've had. I have super sensitive skin, and Valeria always makes me feel very comfortable and recommended some great numbing products for treatment prep. She also advised on post treatment so I wouldn't get any bumps. She's very precise and thorough, Started seeing results right away. Couldn't be happier or recommend Valeria enough! read more

Electrolysis has been the only thing that has worked for me to finally get rid of my unwanted facial, upper-lip, chin, eyebrow, underarm, nipple, stomach and even toes. Yes, I have done all those areas and I am loving it!! Once I got results from the first area (chin) and saw the amazing results, I just kept moving on to other areas. For years I was waxing with no real relief of the hair disappearing for good until I met Valeria and tried Electrolysis. I know her for more then 3 years. She was working at the old location . Valeria is very knowledgeable and does a terrific job in explaining the electrolysis process and what to expect during the sessions. She is very sensitive to everyone's needs. Her flexible hours are great and I always leave there feeling refreshed. The location is amazing ,easy public transportation , big parking lot around the building .I like this location more than the old one . I can't believe it took me so long to start Electrolysis... I would been rid of all my unwanted hair years ago!! Next on my list is bikini area. Highly recommend this place Eectrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal . read more
