I have an upcoming surgery that required hair removal on my graft site. I really enjoyed the service provided by the electrolysis technician. Everything was clean and the technicians are efficient.

Been coming here for 3yrs now, all of them are great, especially Valeria; from the start she was flexible with my schedule & high pain tolerance, she never upsold for my comfort. I did start with the injections for some areas, but hardly complained when they left the numbness.

I did recently try their new ProNox gas, and it certainly took the edge off for me; I don’t think we even used numbing cream, the time also went by much quicker. Finishing up stragglers will be a breeze now.

I have been with Valeria for the past two years and I have seen AMAZING results. My confidence has grown so much and I hardly have to come get electrolysis done anymore. Valeria has helped me with something so fragile and had me hiding key face. I now get so excited when I leave here chair coming from 2 hour appointments 1x a week to only 15 minute sessions every 1 1/2 months. She is very kind and sweet and works efficiently and flexible with you’re schedule. I have truly enjoyed having her work with me, she’s like family. If I ever decide to get work done again I will surely be calling her. 🩷

I have been seeing Valeria and her team for electrolysis and laser hair removal for over a year, to fantastic results. She and her team are skilled and provide an excellent service. Whatever hair removal work you wish to get done, I would recommend Valeria. They are always willing to work with me through any confusion or answer any question I had during my treatment process. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Valeria! I finally tried electrolysis hair removal and I'm so glad I did. The entire experience was a lot easier than I thought. The whole team is fantastic. 5/5.

My first time coming to Valeria's was Fall of 2022. I had another electrologist who worked at the site perform my first consultation and sessions for hair removal on my chest and abdomen. That person was super professional, kind and informative. I was impressed by the atmosphere; everything inside is clean and well-maintained. The site feels like pleasant luxury to make you feel at ease and at home. This was incredible for me as a first timer because I did my first sessions without anesthesia and they were moderately painful. I received 10 sessions from that electrologist then took a break. Since then, I've been pleased with the results.

Flash forward to beginning of 2024, I required electrolysis again for gender affirming bottom surgery. This time, I wanted to have anesthesia as obviously it's a very sensitive area to receive hair removal. Each time I had a session, Valeria's team of nurses were well-trained and attentive to what I needed as they did my Lidocaine injections. Valeria performed the actual hair removal, taking her time and being open to questions (as I am a blabbermouth during my sessions!). In addition, I got to know from her more about the business and why she started.

It truly meant the world to me when she told me she wanted to purposefully help transgender patients receive hair removal because she recognized a disparity in the availability of electrologists to do that type of work. The website is very upfront and affirming about being a safe space for transgender clients. That's why I felt comfortable going back.

Furthermore, given I was receiving these second set of sessions for surgery, I went through my insurance to get coverage, but I was continually denied. Valeria has been transparent and helpful in sending and resending invoices so that my insurance company will accept cost-sharing of my electrolysis sessions. It has been one of the hardest processes emotionally and financially I've had to go through, and she did not make it any harder for me. She kept asking me how the insurance dilemma is being managed, and during one of our sessions, she even was on a phone call I started with customer service as she did my electrolysis. Eventually, my insurance paid out, and I am currently as of the date of this post trying to get them to fund my remaining sessions.

I definitely recommend going to Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal & Skin Care. I have my bottom surgery in five weeks, and I am beyond grateful for the support and care I received.

This is probably one of the best places to go to for electrolysis! I have been going here for a while now and have seen amazing results. The whole staff is very professional and every question you have will be thoroughly answered. Adriana is meticulous at her job and really takes her time knowing everything is done correctly. I would highly recommend anyone to go here!

Electrolysis 100 was by far the best place I've gone for high-volume, transgender facial electrolysis. The technicians are highly professional and competent - while also caring and compassionate. They also prioritized minimizing the pain of electrolysis, which helped given my deep pain sensitivity. I highly recommend them and will be flying back to Chicago for follow-ups.

I have moved frequently in my life and been seen by multiple certified electrolysis professionals, so I feel competent to give a review of Valeria's services. She works quickly and effectively. She involves the client and really listens to what bothers them. Unlike some I have been to, she does not dismiss difficult to find hairs. Valeria also takes extra steps to reduce redness. I would rate Valeria as the very best certified electrolysis professional I have ever been to and I am so fortunate to have found her. I must also give a shout out to Olga on her staff - also excellent as demonstrated by her effectiveness. I recently went in for an appointment (less than 15 minutes) after an absence of 7 months. I don't forsee needing to come back at this point - I think I can definitely say that electrolysis, professionally administered in at this clinic, is 100% Permanent.

Electrolysis is the best hair removal method. I’m very happy with the results. Lidocaine injections for paint management make a huge difference when getting large volume electrolysis. Professional staff and an extremely clean facility!

Incredible electrolysis experience with Valeria! I've been a regular for the past 2 years, continuously adding more areas. Beyond the fantastic and quick results, they always strive to make the process as painless and comfortable as possible. The location is impeccably clean, and scheduling an appointment is a breeze. Absolutely the best electrolysis service in Chicago—highly recommend!

If you need electrolysis services for hair removal, this is the place to go. I have been going here for a year now, and have seen great results. Valeria is knowledgeable, approachable, patient and professional - a rare combination. Your skin needs to be in the best hands, so I wouldn't write this lightly. If you have underlying health conditions, she will listen and advise accordingly.

I have been going to electrolysis for the last couple of years and it's always been an amazing experience. It has become part of my routine. Valerie and her team are amazing and always make sure I have a great experience and all my questions are answered. I would highly recommend coming here for all your beauty needs. The results are worth your time and commitment to the process.

Glad I discovered this location. I was not sure what to expect walking in for the first time being a male wanting electrolysis around the lower edges of my beard and rear neck hair lining. They are a professional staff explaining the process very clear. I immediately recognized this clinic uses new updated equipment which is important to me. After my rounds of electrolysis sessions I am totally satisfied with the results. It really works! I do not need a shave razor at all. Such a relief. Changed my life. I definitely recommend these services to everyone. Thanks Valeria

I have been getting electrolysis treatment for over a year and Valeria and her staff have been amazing. They’ve made this long term painful commitment pleasant and now consider them friends. If you’re looking to make the jump and commit to the electrolysis treatment then this is the place to do it.

Valeria is the best! I have been coming to her on and off since 2020 and she is kind, knowledgeable and takes great care of her clients! Her space very nice and clean and is in a great location with easy parking. They also have a good online scheduling system so it is easy to make appointments. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for an electrologist in Chicago!

I've been working with various techs here for over a year and it's always a pleasure. Everyone is experienced, consistent, and constantly check to make sure I'm comfortable during treatments. They're gender inclusive and always kind. I've tried a few different places across the city and this is by far my favorite.

I’ve been coming here for electrolysis over a year so I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to leave a review! My experience has been overwhelmingly positive since day one but most importantly, I’m thrilled with the results.

I’m slowly working my way towards smooth, hair-free skin. Electrolysis is a time commitment and a costly process but Valeria is great about helping you understand your options to get the best result. The entire team is knowledgeable and takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the process. My questions are always answered with patience and expertise which I really appreciate.

Electrolysis can be painful but thankfully they offer lidocaine injections to help ease the discomfort. This is a game changer for me! With lidocaine I can endure longer sessions, making progress a bit quicker than if I were to go without. If you're considering electrolysis, I highly recommend checking out Electrolysis 100%. Between the service and the added comfort of lidocaine injections, I think they’re the best in the business.

Irina, Anna and Olga are all incredibly skilled and caring people who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They worked hard but were always personable and friendly. I did not handle the pain injections well but they all helped me get through it. The spa itself is modern and light and meticulously clean. Very happy I got to choose this business and these ladies to help me through this tough step of my transition

Great staff... I first went for a consultation, and they explained everything very well. They even did a small sample of how it felt.

Once I went for my initial appointment, the staff was overly friendly and constantly checked on how I was feeling.

Would heavily recommend!

I truly can't recommend enough! I just finished my second session and left happier than I did the first time, which was really really happy. The staff is absolutely top notch, the facility is top notch and so clean and inviting. I travel a few hours to get my treatments and it is absolutely worth it. I look forward to my upcoming appointments! Olga and Irina are two of the sweetest humans and their work is amazing!! Highly highly highly recommend!!!

First experience with this facility. Such a nice and welcoming place! My friend from the gym recommended IV Vitamins for recovery after my workouts so I decided to try even though I’m so scared of needles. Irina was so patient with me. She explained the process every step of the way and even customized the Vitamin combination that would be most beneficial for me! After the infusion I felt full of energy and ready for another workout. This experience couldn’t have been better and I will definitely come back in a month for another round.

I was so excited to try the IV vitamin infusion recommended by my friend who comes to this spa. After a few therapy IV sessions I started to feel absolutely amazing! Gave me a great boost of energy after a few stressful weeks at work. Irina is just the best! She was so patient to answer all my questions. Can’t wait to come back 🙂

I had the best experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain the electrolysis process to me. During my appointment, I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. The electrologist was gentle and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I was blown away by the results after just one appointment. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose this clinic for my hair removal needs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for effective and affordable electrolysis services in Chicago!!

Valeria is simply the best. I wished I started seeing her sooner, I had consulted a couple other electrologists in Chicago before I went here and none of them seemed as knowledgeable and competent. She is very professional and skilled, you can tell she loves her job which reflects in the results. After my first session with her, I barely noticed the pain. It's also a bonus that she's very easy to talk to and funny which makes the time go by fast.

I started going here about a year ago. Valeria is awesome! She’s super nice and knowledgeable but, most importantly, she does great work. She never treats any hairs by just plucking or doing inadequate insertions. I’m always confident with her that she is permanent killing the hair. She is super fast at clearing hairs. I just wish I knew of Valeria sooner as she is truly the best out there! A solid 5 star rating well deserved.
