I am an African American woman

by publicadvocate212

I was told that Electrolysis was not an option for

dark skin. Then a friend of mine told me she had

cleared her face and neck doing Electrolysis.

She was going to Ronni's and her skin looked

smooth and beautiful. I went for a consultation.

I followed the rules for after-care and now I have

no more unwanted hair and my skin is smooth.

I am very happy and would absolutely recommend

this place to anyone who is interested in taking

the permanant route.

• Pros: They deliver the goods
• Cons: strict policies

This is the one thing I've committed to!

The project I took on was extremely daunting. I never

thought I could stick to it. I actually began to look forward to my appointments. The hair started to go

away. This is something I would recommend to anyone

with this problem.

• Pros: they deliver the goods
• Cons: you have to book way in advance to get an appointment

Why did I wait so long

by powerventure

I thought about doing this forever. I carried Ronni's

card in my purse for years. I knew I would be

getting started on a huge project and wouldn't be

able to stop. Well I became obsessed with Electrolysis.

I was getting rid of my hair and this made me so happy.

I was always thinking about what area I would do next.

I've been doing this for a few years but have made so

much progress. Soon I will be hairless in all the places

that bothered me. Don't wait too long. This really works!

• Pros: You get rid of your hair in a wonderful atmosphere
• Cons: none

How can I ever thank you guys!

by runningintherain212

It makes me want to cry when I remember how miserable my facial hair made me. I did everything I could to hide my problem. Unfortunately it kept getting worse. I tried everything I heard about that promised to rid me of this problem. I spent a fortune on waxing, threading and laser.

The hair just got darker and thicker and multiplied. I was

hesitant to do Electrolysis because I realized it was a real

commitment. Finally after all the other failures I called Ronni Kolotkin's office. Went for a consultation. I had a very positive feeling that I was finally on the right track. Yes, it did take a year. Yes, it did cost. But not as much as Laser and guess what! My hair is gone. My skin is

smooth. I am happy. Thank you very much!

• Pros: They promise - they deliver!
• Cons: Not one little thing

Almost magic

by brewsterenelli

I wanted to get rid of my Bikini hair. I tried everything

else. My in-grown hairs were awful. It kept getting

worse and worse. I went to another place for

Electrolysis and it was terribly painful. A friend told

me that she had her legs done at Ronni's and it

was very pleasant and they used ice to numb her.

It sounded great to me. I went there. It took one year.

Just like they promised. My bikini line is smooth

and hairless. I am very pleased and would recommend

this great place to anyone who has a problem with

unwanted hair.

• Pros: A most pleasant experience
• Cons: Slow Elevators

Nothing is perfect!

by usaukgv

I went here to work on my lip and chin. Got that done. Did my bikini line, etc., etc. That's all done. I go here for

really good facials. I really enjoy going to Ronni's office.

I feel that it's an oasis in the middle of the city. Now I'm

going to start my teenage daughter before she begins

messing with her hair. No one is perfect. At least that

I know of. If you want to look good, you have to pay the

price. This is a price worth paying. It works! Everyone

is very nice. The place is quite lovely. I'm really glad

they are here.

• Pros: This really does work!
• Cons: They get very booked. Have to wait for an appt. at times

Ronni's office keeps having my negative review deleted

by akdh1979

Everytime I put an honest review on citysearch, Ronni's office has it removed. Let me keep this brief. Ronni has a clean office with friendly staff. However, the service from associates if subpar and expensive. I have found a better electrolysist who is more efficient, cheaper, has a less painful machine and does not cause scabbing to my skin. You may like Ronni's office, but my advice is to ignore the other reviews on this site (they are obviously coming from Ronni's office) and shop around before signing away your savings. I pay $20 for 15 minutes at my current, superior electrolysist, and was paying at least $60 at Ronni's office for 15 mintues.

• Pros: clean and prompt
• Cons: expensive, service is NOT superior

Response from this business

Dear reviewer. Fortunately, when reviews are offensive or inappropriate we can request that they be removed! We certainly welcome

comments. An attack is a different story. Each client coming to our office receives personalized care. This includes after care instructions and a complimentary kit including products that will promote healing. If someone chooses not to follow the recommended instructions, they can

possibly end up with some temporary scabbing. We are not surprised that one might imagine that we are writing our own reviews. I assure

you that we work very hard to earn each and every one. We are thrilled that you have now found a place where you are happy with

your Electrolysis treatments. Goodbye and good luck!

NO THANKS!

by riveronthebank

I went to Ronni's place a few times. Felt it was a little

pricey. Wanted to see what my other options were. I

love options. So I went to another Electrolysist uptown.

First of all. I waited 45 minutes for my treatment to

begin after my appointment time. This is a real problem

for me because I actually went there on my lunch break.

Then, the person who was working on my actually was

on the phone the entire time making plans for dinner.

The next time I had an appointment when I got to the

office there was a note on the door saying something had come up and she couldn't make it. That was the

end! How can I go to a place like that? I consider this

abuse. So when I considered the time I lost from my

day I felt that the cost of this new place was much too

high. I really appreciate professional, attentive service.

This is what you get at Ronni's place. Now, I would never put up with anything less that the best! That's

what you get here.

• Pros: Everything here is top notch. Five star service.
• Cons: None

Today was a great day!

by moblennoble

I have been thinking about this for years. My out of

control facial hair situation has taken up an amazing

amount of emotional energy. I have been carrying

around Ronni Kolotkin's business card for ages.

Today was my first appointment. I am so excited!

Everything about this place says"PROFESSIONAL"

This is just what I am looking for. I had my first

treatment and can't wait for more. I'm throwing away

my tweezer and my was machine. This is it. A new

beginning.

• Pros: Life changing
• Cons: not one

This changed my life. I am reborn!

by morenormalthannot

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.
