TESTIMONIALS
My Testimonial:
I was having electrolysis done for several years. I wasn’t getting any results and I kept asking how long it would take and when am I going to see permanent hair removal. I kept getting answers like, you need to come more often, or the hair needs to be weakened. I decided to try a new electrologist who was properly educated and I saw results within one to two months. I went once a month and within six months the hair was almost gone. By nine months I was hair free. I became a believer in electrolysis.
This is what motivated me to choose a new career path, and I enrolled in the 500 hour electrolysis course, which is the top level of education. Electrolysis does work and with effective treatments the hair will permanently be removed.

Client Testimonials:
I had been going for electrolysis every 2-4 weeks for 25 years. They did my eyebrows, cheeks, chin, and neck and was annoyed if the electrologist couldn’t remove all my hair in one hour. I thought this was normal. When I went to Genelle she explained to me that she could remove my hair permanently, but not the way I was having it done in the past. She asked me to trust her and promise to not give up. I saw improvement after my second treatment and was thrilled. I continued with electrolysis treatments and now I only go for touch ups. Tears came to my eyes when my husband told me that my face looked beautiful.

I had never gone for electrolysis and was afraid to go. A friend of mine told me about Genelle and after meeting her I was very comfortable. She explained the process very thoroughly and I felt very knowledgeable and educated about electrolysis. After the first visit I was so surprised to actually see results. Within four or five treatments I was done.

I went for electrolysis for many years and was becoming very discouraged. I thought I would have a hairy chin and cheeks forever. When I found Genelle I saw results after the first treatment. Now I go for a touch up, thirty minute appointment, once every six months. I am thrilled. No more looking in the mirror every morning.

I had electrolysis years ago and my upper lip was very burnt by another electrologist. I was in need of more treatments and I was very scared to go. I went and met Genelle and we did a test spot on my upper lip and all was well. I don’t need to go often, but I have had no problems and am very happy that I am able to have treatments again.

I wanted my eyebrows done and called around and spoke to several electrologists in the Kelowna area. I didn’t want to drive to West Kelowna so chose someone else. Genelle said that if I wasn’t seeing results within two to three months to call her back and reconsider. I wasn’t seeing results and once I started with Genelle I saw results immediately. I love my eyebrows.

So glad I found Genelle. My chin hairs are gone. I was having trouble seeing the hairs and was embarrassed having to get my husband to check my chin. Now I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
