Respondent Comments: Suzie is post-op TS (Schrang 92) and is trusted in the community. Her girls consistently have the best complexions, due to the extensive use of galvanic mode (and to her skill). Susan has clients that fly in from UK, Australia and even Nevada! They believe she is the best electrologist in the entire world at any price bar none. Average full beard is now well under 200 hours from virgin to done (and done means done), much less for redheads, typically more if already partly done because of how galvanic works (non-linearly).

Respondent Comments: Sandy is great. Certainly TG positive. I’m not doing beard with her but I am doing a complete clearing from waist to bikini line. Fun to talk to. Sandy respects confidentiality, She told me that the other women that work in the shop are always curious when about the procedure she’s doing, she’s telling them I’m having my back cleared. Pain is not an issue with me, but she and I made a plan such that she’d work my less sensitive areas early in a session so that I’d get an endorphin build up then on to the more sensitive areas mid-session, I’ve used no anesthetic creams or drugs. I find my time with her relaxing, even though I was quite anxious for my first session. (2 TG ref 98-10-22)

Respondent 1: Mr. Campo offers all the latest in modern electrology. He is co-located in a Dr’s office and injections to help control pain are easily available. Specializing in the needs of TG people. (97-11-25, aol)

Respondent 2: Guy is an alternative to E-2000. He is effective and fast. The post treatment inflammation lasts about a week and is caused mostly from the local. I’ve experienced very little redness from him.He does the genital zapping as well. Other electrologists: Sharon Schuer – pitting, and lack of local anesthesia. Marga Myers – lack of local anesthesia. E-2000: I’m down to a point where air travel costs more than treatments. One person can clear me in 3 hours. I have to take frequent breaks due to neck problems. (98-10-20)

I started electrolysis with Bambi Nolen at Dana point Electrology and about two months later they went out of business (it’s a long story, but if you want to hear it let me know). I have heard that Lisa Pruett is still working out of her home, but does not want publicity. She is only working by personal referrals. Bambi is back behind the wheel of the long-haul semi.

Modality used on respondent: Thermolysis: 50% Blend: 50%. Types of probes available: disposable, non-insulated, tapered, gold-plated. Chosen through: non-TG referral, Wears gloves and mask.

Respondent Comments: I have been treated by a number of electrologists and am currently preparing to obtain a California electrology license myself. I have found Anne to be very conscientious. Her insertions of the probe into the follicle are consistently accurate and smooth. She has used blend on my face, and blend or thermolysis on various areas of the body, depending on my preference. Personable, friendly, and easy to work with. (1 TG ref, 98-10-13)

Respondent Comments: I also want to add my praise for one of the electrologists on your site – Anne Doan of Anne Best Beauty Care (408-926-1854). I went to see her after visiting someone else and found the difference incredible. She is talented, professional, and dedicated to her clients – you never feel the probes at all, she only charges for the time she works on you, and she is very flexible with scheduling. She guarantees that the hair will be gone, and does her best to make sure that happens as soon as possible. She also goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to helping clients handle the pain.

Respondent Comments: Tg friendly, I am not her only TS client. She has a wonderful personality and really wants to help. She is a delightful older woman who is very helpful She has given me hints about eye makeup, trims nose hair (YUCK) and things like that. A delightful person to chat with during those seemingly endless hours on the table(1 TG ref, 98-12-07) Other electrologists: Kathy Karrow- She moved to another state

Respondent Comments: I called B & J Electrolysis and she confirmed that she works with ts clients, but NOT on the genitals which makes her moot for me cuz that’s what I need. The search continues… :frowning: [16 Feb 2002]

I was seeing Betty for several months (10) but started to get concerned about the amount of regrowth and treatment of already treated hairs. I started going to another electrologist and was amazed by the difference. (11 January 2004)

Respondent Comments: Valerie has been treating TG/TS since 1984 and has completed over 27 patients. She has a wonderful sense of humor and English accent. She is very understanding and discreet. I have found her work to be outstanding. I tried 2 other electrologists before Valerie and was not satisfied. Then I tried Valerie and never left her until the job was done.

Respondent comments: Valerie Smith is far and away the best operator I have tried. She works closely with the Gender Dysphoria Program of Orange County and is very sympathetic to our special needs. Her Londoner accent is a delight and she is very fast. Her technique is good, and I have very little swelling after my sessions, but I do have to ask her to turn it up a bit from time to time (That could change, though since I’m no longer going to use Vicodin.) Her parlor is immaculate and she is very flexible with her schedule. [2 TG refs. 99-03-01]

Please state your opinion about this electrologist: Very good, very professional, and a joy to work with. I primarily choose Tina because during this trying timeshe seemed like someone who I could get along with and have fun while getting zapped. She also has a wonderful sense of humor about it. I’ve been going to her for about 8 weeks now, approximately 12 hours total time. I’m just about cleared. I’m an unusual case when it comes to the amount of facial hair that most MTF have to remove. I almost had none to begin with, and my body is virtually hairless; no chest, back or arm hair to speak of. The little facial hair that I did havetreated by Tina was very sparse and we managed to do thefirst clearing, using thermolysis at about 10 hours. The rest is all touch ups, using a combination of thermolysis and blend, from here on out when those pesky dormant hairs want to spring up. During my sessions with Tina She has been very professional, focused, thorough and sanitary in her practice I highly recommend her without reservation
