Testimonials
" I have found Florence to be an excellent electrologist. She is a committed professional in all aspects of her work, has genuine concern for her clients and is discreet. I have been very pleased with her services and would recommend her without reservation for anyone considering this type of permanent hair removal. "

"Florence knows her stuff! I had been waxing for years. What a waste of money! Every time I had to go to a special event, I would make an appointment with a salon to wax off the hair from my lip and chin, only to have it grow back in a couple of weeks. I wish that I had found Florence years earlier. The electrolysis treatments not only keep the hair away longer, my mind is comforted by knowing that it is contributing to a permanent cure for the unwanted hair. I even tried laser hair removal. Not only were the laser treatments more painful, and more expensive, it didn’t work! Months later, I started to see growth again. I am convinced that electrolysis is the only way to get rid of my unwanted facial hair permanently. Florence is patient and knowledgeable and makes each visit extremely comfortable. Her facials are also top notch as she analyzes the needs and total health of the skin. I’ve had it with salons and spas. Florence provides a truly caring, individual experience. Thanks Florence!! You’re the best !!"

"I don't even know where my tweezers are anymore! Thanks, Florence, for uncovering smooth, healthy skin!"
Robin
"I met Florence in 2001 after moving to Ridgefield CT. I've experienced electrolysis treatment in many cities and have had only good experiences. Subsequently, I have realistic expectations of electrolysis; there may be mild pain or discomfort, it may take several treatments to do the job and it isn't inexpensive but I believe it is the only way to deal with unwanted hair. During my initial consult with Florence, I knew I was in the hands of an electrologist with the perfect balance of knowledge, skill and manner. Florence is candid, practical and honest. Her treatment area is spotlessly clean and inviting. I'm extremely pleased with my results and am happy to endorse Florence and her work."
Mary
" Florence has skillfully and discreetly removed unwanted hair from my chin, lip and eyebrows. After wasting money on several ineffective hair removal processes, including laser hair removal and waxing, I found my way to Florence who through a series of treatments permanently removed the hair from my face in her immaculate and comfortable office. I am thrilled with the results! I also highly recommend Florence for facials because she is extremely knowledgeable about skincare and whenever I leave her office after a facial my skin has a lasting youthful glow. Anyone looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair or wants to improve the appearance of their skin should consult with Florence who is very professional, trustworthy and kind. "
Suzie
I have gone to electrologists who operate out of dermatologist's offices, as well as swanky Fifth Avenue spas. But my favorite electrologist is Florence. Her space is comforting and calming, and she adheres to strict sanitation procedures. Best of all, Florence is incredibly knowledgeable, not only about hair removal, but about health and well-being, too. Florence's interest in skin care led her to also become a certified facialist. Every so often, I'll treat myself to one of Florence's facials. Florence helps to clear my skin and make my complexion glow through massage and the use of top-of-the line treatments. When friends have mentioned they have embarrassing, unwanted hair, or are in need of a facial for a special event, I always recommend Florence!
