Although the site is geared for 'every woman' seeking relief from 'emotional' pain of undesired hair, Expert Electrolysis does not recommend women who are transgender even seek a consultation, citing that half hour bookings aren't sufficient for facial electrolysis. Their conclusion was made pre-consultation, clearly driven by biased assumptions on what concerns a potential client might have. As I did receive an e-mail response from the team, I continue to believe (with effort) that Expert Electrolysis means well, therefore I give them two stars in pursuit of that hope. Unfortunately they just haven't caught on to the idea that women come from all backgrounds. Disappointing and a little surprising considering Seattle demographics. Please show integrity and be true to your aspirational mission statement; seek ways to treat -all- women. read more

Joan is amazing! Look no further if you're interested in Electrolysis. I was a notorious eyebrow plucker, causing my eyebrows to become irritated constantly. Joan helped me get past that and did a great job at getting rid of not only my unwanted hair but my bad habit/worries! Always a lovely conversation with her as well as efficient appointments! I wish I looked into this earlier! read more

I love Joan! She does a great job and is so nice and easy to chat with. I have seen great results in a just a few months now. I'm glad I read reviews and came to her instead of wasting my time with other hair removal techniques. read more

No longer manageable with my BB&B illuminated high-power magnifying mirror (pulled out the big guns) and fancy tweezers, Joan was enlisted to take care of biz. Btw, she does NOT endorse plucking so don't do it! I think there's a support group somewhere. Anyhow, since having kids, my hormones are whack, resulting in a spreading patch of chin whiskers (can we call them chinskers?) and darker hairs around my lip line. Fast forward a year, they're nearly gone and some of the thicker blonde facial hair's been thinned out as well. Money very well spent in my opinion. Goodbye are the days of finding surprise chinskers while out in public, crazily digging out barely sprouted chinskers with sharp tweezers (bloody mess) and making sure to do all my tweezing before social events and vacations. Also gone are days where the sun catches my face, just right (or wrong) and exposes a hidden beard during a traffic light. Where'd I put those damn back up tweezers?!?!? The travel sized ones, for emergency whisker situations? So back to Joan - she's fabulous, an expert, runs a tight ship. I've never waited past my appointment time, her procedure room's always tidy with good tunes playing and she's fast. Most of our conversations are while she's working around my mouth and yet she hangs with me, despite the mumbling. I'm honestly so glad I found her and only disappointed I hadn't started sooner. While most of my problem areas are no longer so, I continue to see her for maintenance because I'm that impressed with my results. Please, go see Joan! read more

Joan is an absolute treasure! I was so worried about being judged, but she put me at ease immediately. She is super efficient, accommodating, and professional. She's honest about what's best for you and structures her work around your goals for beauty well-being. Joan restored a level of confidence in me that I never thought I could regain. She is truly the best of the best! read more

I actually look forward to appointments with Joan! She's delightful, the process is nearly painless, and the results for a 10 or 15-minute facial treatment once a month are stunning! Be sure to ask about eyebrow shaping. read more

Joan is my unwanted hair executioner...and she does her job expertly, quickly and comfortably. She is fun to talk with during my sessions and I always look forward to seeing her and undergoing my procedure. I'd grown tired of paying for temporary hair removal services (such as eyebrow shaping) and plucking hairs that seemed to just grow back within weeks, if not a few days. I don't know why I waited so long to pursue a permanent solution especially when I had a very reputable and wholehearted recommendation to go see her. I suppose I was hesitant about trusting someone to do something PERMANENT to my face (I've had some bad temporary eyebrow waxing experiences when I could not wait to grow them out), thought electrolysis was just for people who have serious hair problems, and it was a long drive from Bellevue. After a couple of seasons of (about) monthly sessions, I now have a clean face slate to work with every morning (probably saving me thousands of hours over my lifetime) and my eyebrows are gently arched to open up my eyes so I don't need as much eye makeup. Within a year, the cost will be fully recuperated and I really wish I could go back in time and tell myself to not wait so long! read more

Joan is amazing. I was interested in electrolysis but wanted to make sure I found a true pro, and she is it! She came recommended to me by my dermatologist clinic, which says something. She has done a fantastic job getting rid of my unwanted hair, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I only wish I had found her earlier! read more

Joan is amazing! I wish I would have found her before I tried other treatments that didn't work at all. Joan's advice has been professional & realistic and I highly recommend her. I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Hair removal is also for men and Joan is the best. I had never done electrolysis and researched tons of places. After reading many reviews I saw that Joan was rated extremely well and decided to try Expert Electrolysis. I'm glad I did and have been going for a year. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Joan to anyone thinking of electrolysis. read more

Joan is fantastic. She really is an expert when it comes to hair removal -- and she is genuinely interested in getting the best results both during and between treatments. I've been seeing her for about 9 months and I couldn't be happier with the results. She gets booked up pretty far in advance, but has been totally flexible and accommodating when it comes to my schedule. Regarding the process, it has become so routine that I have even fallen asleep in my Saturday morning appointments -- it's really quite easy and totally worth it when compared to alternatives. I've tried laser and that wasn't effective -- this truly is the permanent solution I have been searching for. If you have even considered it, take the time to meet with Joan and you'll be happy you did! read more

I have been seeing Joan and for over two years. She is such a pleasure. It has changed my life not to worry about unwanted hair ANYMORE! Joan's touch makes it painless. Treat yourself and go see her. read more

I have been seeing Joan for 3 years on and off and she is been a godsend. I bought numerous laser packages before trying electrolysis and they never worked and were really expensive. Joan is very reasonable priced, makes you feel comfortable and does an amazing job. I highly recommend her. read more

Joan always does a great job. I've been going to her for about 6 months now. Found her through yelp. Electrolysis can be painful. There is no way around it sometimes. But Joan does her best to make it as quick and as easy as possible. The treatments have been very effective so far and I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks for being the best! read more

I received electrolysis from Joan over 15 years ago when she was located in the University district. Excellent service that completely solved the problem with only a minimum of treatments. A couple years ago I was unable to locate Joan again so I went to someone else near the UW, the results were disappointing. Discovering Joan's new location from reading reviews was a great gift. She performed her magic over a month ago and the results are incredible. An atmosphere that is both relaxing and fun, plus oustanding results. A Winner !! read more

I have been very happy with my service here. I have been going to Joan for 1 1/2 years and she is professional, courteous, reliable. I am very happy with the results and I would recommend her highly to anybody looking for electrolysis services. read more

Joan is an expert at keeping things under control! For our first session she explained how the process worked, how It would feel and how best to care for my skin afterward. Now for bimonthly quicky treatments I have no worries. read more
