Electrolysis by Susan Rosenberg

I’m so surprised that there are only 4 reviews here, considering Susan’s schedule is SUPER busy. She obviously has many clients. I thought I’d give a 2015 review lol
I stumbled on Susan’s Unilocal soon after I turned 30 when my hair growth decided to get worse (At least in MY eyes. Susan said I’m not hairy, but honestly, who has time to deal with hair, period? It’s bad enough to be dealing with aging lol) I only recently went for my consultation 2 weeks ago, not knowing what to expect. Speaking to her over the phone, she was very to-​the-​point & straight business. But, meeting her in person was a 180. She’s kind, pleasant, extremely intelligent, and truly makes you feel comfortable in your ‘hairy’ skin Haha! –badum POW– ;)
On my first appointment, she started on my underarm. The pain is bearable. It’s not a ‘tattoo’ pain. It’s more like a stinging/​slight burning vibration with a bit of pressure. When she removes the hair, it’s exactly tweezing a hair from your underarm (did your eyes water? Lol) I was originally scheduled for an hr, but her previous appointment ran through mine, so she only charged me for 50 min. The honesty is truly appreciative, as I’ve read on other Electrolysis’ Unilocal of dishonest time slots. We spoke throughout the entire appointment. She really is a warm, sociable and open minded individual.
Her office is clean. She washes her hands between patients, changes the paper linen, sanitizes the table. I mean, who WOULDN’T want a nurse doing electrolysis?! Lol
There is no hair growth on the area worked on. It’s been only a week, so I will update when I can. I have my next appointment tomorrow & I’m really looking forward to seeing her.

I’ve been going to Susan for electrolysis for years. I started some time in college. As a result of being young and impatient at the time, I stopped going to Susan and turned to laser. What I didn’t know at the time was that laser hair removal actually has the opposite effect on fine hair on the face. After 6 – 8 treatments with 2 different laser professionals, my original peach fuzz now grew coarse and resilient. To make matters worse, my face broke out miserably after each treatment, causing me to go into hiding every 6 weeks.
Feeling completely helpless, I went back to Susan years later and pleaded for forgiveness and mercy. She explained to me that the process will take time, but so long as I stay dedicated to my appointments she will cure me. Sure enough, 1 – 2 years later, I’m nearly hair free. I went from plucking extremely thick, stubborn hairs DAILY to noticing a couple stragglers here/​there every 2 – 3 weeks. She cleared me up before my wedding on June 9^th and since then I go back every couple of months for a quick touch up.
I can’t emphasize enough how much Susan has helped cure me. Laser cost me THOUSANDS of dollars and in the end made matters completely worse. She also completely cured my mother who never needs to go back anymore. My experience reminds me a lot of The Tortoise and the Hare: slow and steady wins the race.

I had done laser hair treatments on my face and I found it to be expensive and even seemed to get worse! I tried electrolysis with Susan and won’t go back to laser. It started with longer sessions, but now I go for touch ups every 4 weeks for only 20 min! It’s a low cost, longer alternative than even waxing! She takes a very personalized approach and I never felt like it was about the payment. I look forward to my ‘girl time’ with Susan!

Susan is fabulous! Been seeing her on and off for years and even though I moved away, she’s still the only person I will see for the occasional touch up. Highly recommend
