I've been going to Etty for several years now. She always does an amazing job and ensures my skin is not damaged from the sessions. I don't trust anyone else with a such a process. She's also the most kind person ever. I enjoy catching up with her every time I see her. read more

i started going to etty to remove stubborn hairs and she worked her magic. she was very thorough, told me the timeline to stick to, and lo and behold the hair started disappearing! etty is also so kind and gentle. cannot recommend enough! read more

I'm currently about 8 months into electrolysis hair removal with Etty. It works if you stick with it and are consistent. I come just about every month, and for that reason am seeing great results. Because I have fair hair, laser didn't really work for me. Electrolysis is more targeted and seems to do a better job of getting rid of all of the hair. I had some hormonal hair growth that I didn't like and that I was constantly having to shave. At this point, I don't even notice it growing back between appointments and the appointment time is getting less and less. I'm very happy with my results so far and Etty is so nice and flexible with her schedule. Highly recommend her! read more

She is wonderful. Can't say enough good things. I had very little pain or discomfort during the session or later. Goes the extra mile. And very kind and gentle. read more

I am so grateful to have come across Etty 1 year ago, and I've been seeing her every 3-4 weeks since with excellent results (for electrolysis treatments). Etty is a true professional, in addition to being an all-around lovely person to speak to during our 1-hour sessions. She's very very funny and such a sweetheart! She is extremely thorough and efficient, and my results speak for themselves. Thank goodness I found her! read more

Wonderful in every way - a total professional, highly skilled, delightful personality and efficient.

Etty is, hands-down, the best electrologist I've been to in NYC and her fees are beyond competitive. When I moved to NYC, I compared four electrologists and Etty provided the best value for price and time required by far. She is thorough, efficient and professional. I highly recommend her and electrolysis for permanent hair removal. read more

I'm not surprised no one has ever reviewed Etty. She's sort of like the hidden gem of Soho. Her Suite in Soho is small -- just 1.5 rooms. And it's no frills. You're going in to get waxed, not a full spa day. But it's clean, and fast, and she is an EXTREMELY Pleasant Trinidadian woman. Her prices are amazing ($20 for Bikini, $12 for underarm) and she goes in pretty much as far as you want and does below the belly button strip all for the $20 price. She sends Christmas cards to all of her customers as well, so nice! Call to make an appt, she doesn't do walk ins, and you'll probably have to leave a message, but she'll get back to you ASAP. Oh and it hurts -- this isn't some fancy wax -- but honestly, I prefer this to the sugar wax which I find to be just as painful, if not worse because it's so hot and thick that it burns. The end. read more

Etty is the best for all your esthetician needs! Electrolysis! Zapping unwanted things! I recommend the hour visit - in addition to the things you see, there are things you don't see (like on your back!). I love to hear her say "Oh, you don't need THAT!" ZAPP!....and "Oh, THAT needs to go!" ZAPP! as she skillfully reviews my face, back and any other areas that need her attention. Unwanted hairs...red dots...cherry angiomas...spider veins...skin tags...bumpy things...GONE! I have been visiting her for decades...literally! And will continue. Customer for life, as things continue to pop up...it's like "whack-a-mole", but with Etty on my side, I can say "BEGONE CARBUNCLES!" She's got a great sense of humor too...and makes you feel very comfortable in sharing whatever you're there for! read more

Etty is amazing. Spent thousands of dollars on weekly visits for almost a year somewhere else and saw little change. Two visits in (and only once every 3-4 weeks) I'm seeing a huge difference and much slower growth. Wish I had gone to etty from the start read more

I've battled with unwanted facial hair for YEARS. You name it I tried it... Waxing, tweezing,threading, hair removal lotions...all to just have the hair come back just as aggressive. After much much MUCH research I found Etty on Yelp about 4 years ago..I've been going to her religiously ever since and thanks to her I feel more confident to wear my hair up, to put on makeup and to let people come close.. I have a product that I like to use after electrolysis and Etty is sweet enough to let me leave it in her office for my use. She does what she cans to make you comfortable and I appreciate that because other people or businesses simply don't care. But she does! About two years ago I started going to Etty for waxing as well, and it's great having only one person who sees your goods as opposed to it being someone different or new each time. As other yelpers have said- her office is small and private- a one woman show- which is great because you know that the time you are getting is exclusively for you. No interruptions, no phone calls, no joke. She knows her stuff and wants everyone to look and feel their best. Etty is truly a gem. read more

Etty El Jammal - Business card. - Hair Removal Near Me - New York, New York

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Etty! You have to really trust someone who is putting needles in your face and Etty is the only person I recommend. I have been going to her now for a couple years and the results are unbelievable. Well worth the cost. Now my sister goes too! read more

Etty is extremely professional, knowledgable and caring. In general, electrolysis takes time for those of us (like me) who have terminal, thick, stubbly hair growth in unwanted areas. I have been going for over a year and a half and it has been absolutely life changing. Etty is so honest about the process and knows that each of her clients are unique in their needs. I highly recommend checking her out. If I had to do it all over again, I would skip all the futile laser, waxing, and threading treatments and go straight to Etty for electrolysis. read more

I've been a client of Etty's for over 6 years now and I feel lucky to have heard about her through a friend of mine so, I want to be able to pass the word on to others. Etty is fantastic at her job and super lovely as person. Even though getting waxed and having electrolysis is not the most fun thing I always look forward to my appointments because Etty makes it so pleasant and the time flies by quickly. Her prices are very reasonable and her cozy space is always clean and welcoming. She does a great job and does it quickly without you feeling rushed. Etty is fantastic and I highly recommend her! read more

Etty is a saint in the flesh. I cannot begin to write enough positive things about her. I've been seeing her for over 6 months now. She charges a fraction of the price to where I originally started going. As I go along, I tend to learn more about electrolysis in my spare time. That being said, when I first met her she was willing and very knowledgeable with answering any questions I had about the process (pre and post treatment). I specifically wanted to speed up my sessions because I didn't intend on remaining in NYC for very long. I wanted the hair gone; where I am going I will not be able to maintain it for at least 3 months. For that reason I needed to know what I would expect. If you have any concerns she encourages you call her. She has always gotten back to me in a timely manner, and is willing to go the extra mile for her clientele. There have been times I need to switch my time slot, I'm running late, or I forget to take some makeup wipes with me and she accommodates me with no issue. You are made to feel at ease in the chair while she swiftly works her magic. Conversations are natural and free flowing. I can honestly say I can talk to her about anything because I am in a judgement free zone. Added benefit that her office always smells amazing and she has chocolate. As for her personality- very friendly vibe + a good sense of humor, while still managing to be honest and not sugarcoat anything. When I leave I hope to keep in touch with her- she is one of the people in my life I am very grateful to have had the experience of meeting (and I don't say that very often!). If I could I would take her with me. read more

Etty is great ! I have been going for my electrolysis for almost 3 months now. She is very friendly, will explain everything to you, gives realistic expectations and she actually cares about her clients ! She washes her hands every time before each procedure. After spending $1000 on laser hair removal that did not work, I was very hesitant to trust someone else. Electrolysis is a bit of a difficult process to go through, but if you are desperate to get rid of unwanted hair permanently-do it ! The office is small and simple. Prices are good. read more

Etty is amazing. She is kind and flexible. Her office is clean and cozy. She went straight to work. She is courteous and professional. I have been twice and will continue to go back until the unwanted hair is gone. I highly recommend her. read more

i have agonized about leaving a negative review for months. I hate to hurt anyone's business. But my experience was scarring. Literally. I have had electrolysis in many places for the past 25 years. I am middle aged and have had facial hair since I was a teen. This is the first time I have had scarring but it is bad. Etty El Jammel is sweet and means well but I was left with terrible burns on my upper lip and the scars remain present 6 months later. I definitely felt a lot of heat during the procedure but I did not realize until later just how bad it was. I am not a novice and so I had hoped this would mean a little extra discomfort but nothing long lasting. No such luck. I have brown shadows that seem permanent. So sad and so don't want to say this. But people need to know in order to decide whether they want to go forward. read more

Etty is absolutely amazing! She has been an integral part of my hair removal journey. She is the ultimate professional when it comes to electrolysis and I am so incredibly happy with the results. She is extremely kind, very responsive, and truly cares about her clients. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a successful hair removal process! read more

Going to Etty is just like going on a vacation with your favorite therapist. I have been going to her for years, first for electrolysis and now for waxing....she is the best at what she does. From the moment I walk into her clean, light filled office i begin to relax and just let her do what she does best while we catch up on what has been going on in our lives between appointments. I guarantee that you will feel very comfortable right from your first visit and that you will tell all your friends, as have I, "Oh go to Etty, she is the best". read more

As a client of Etty's for almost 20 years, she is more like a friend who works wonders for me during each visit. I've done laser hair removal as well, but there's always something left over, and Etty can take care of that for you. Ditto to the earlier 2 reviews - Etty is the best! I always have a few of her cards on hand to give out to my friends, and have brought many family members to see her as well. If you're battling an unwanted hair problem, don't delay! Why suffer (as I did for many years) - Etty can help! read more

I have been seeing Etty El Jammal for over 25 years for both leg waxing and occasional electrolysis. I look forward to seeing her, not only for her professional service, but for her delightful personality and support. Her space is completely spotless and conveniently located and completely private, and although electrolysis can be slightly painful, I have been very pleased with the results. Her prices are reasonable, her honestly and professional evaluation invaluable and if you want to get rid of unwanted facial or body hair, either permanently (as in electrolysis, or temporarily (as in waxing), I give Etty my unqualified recommendation. read more

I have been seeing Etty for about four years for electrolysis, and she has removed, well, a lot. And she is amazing. She gives you a fresh ziplock bag of ice to cool the area before she starts zapping, she puts neosporin cream on when you're done ( the kind that soaks in, not the kind that sits on top of your skin), and if she has been working on your face (and she has worked on mine!), she'll use a special lotion at the end to treat your skin and cover up the redness. It's just her, but she still sends a Birthday discount and a holiday card. Plus she makes the whole process of removing chin hair way less embarrassing. read more

Just switched here from Vada Spa. Etty is a pleasure. Ices the area to reduce pain (works!). Her office is clean and pleasant. Total score!

Etty is more like family to me. She's an amazing esthetician. I was referred to her by my cousin and have been going to her for over a year. Unwanted facial hair is such a hassle to deal with (especially when dealing w/sensitive skin) and electrolysis can be a bit of a process, but Etty makes it all a pleasant experience. She's very informative and gentle throughout the procedure, making it not so unpleasant . If you stick with it you will see wonderful results.. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to get rid of unwanted facial hair.. Her salon is in the heart of Soho, the perfect size and is always warm and welcoming. Her prices are great and she will not blindside you with ridiculous fees like some salons. If you're frustrated with unwanted facial hair, please go see Etty! read more

I just moved to the area and went to Etty today for a lip and eyebrow wax. I chose her because of the extremely positive reviews on Yelp, and she and her business were as advertised! read more

I have been using Etty's services since she first started in the business. After trying many others I can say she is the best! Her office is always immaculate, her prices are extremely reasonable, and she works fast and gently. I cannot praise her enough. In addition, she is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I have recommended her to many of my friends, including a doctor, and they all love her. read more

Clean, professional, speedy yet thorough, cheap, and a hidden gem. Etty makes me want to get regular waxes! Absolutely lovely!

I posted another review over a month ago, but it disappeared. Etty should have the best reviews because she is great for electrolysis! She is a true professional and very knowledgeable on how to handle sensitive skin. She is great! read more

I have been going to Etty for years & couldn't imagine using anyone else. Over the years I have also recommended her to many people (including my husband & daughter) who have been extremely happy with her services. I also highly recommend her for men & teen agers who would maybe feel uncomfortable going to a salon. Her prices are competitive with other New York salons & her office is extremely conveniently located, clean & quiet. Most importantly she is extremely professional and a pleasure to visit. read more

Etty is wonderful! I came to her for electrolysis after reading other yelp reviews. She did a great job and made the experience as pleasant and painless as possible. She's completely professional while also making you feel like you are there to visit an old friend. I highly recommend Etty. read more
