Kimberly Williams - Boston School Of Electrolysis (WARNING!)

So Gene Simmons was right? “There is no such thing as bad publicity.”

As for the youtube thing and promised video link on his/her site, it is possible that the last marble in that person’s head rolled over the fact that everything Williams puts on that web site is an invitation to revocation of Williams’ license, and posting such video in addition to the privacy breach of discussing the details of someone who came to you for services without their permission is like saying, “Please revoke my license, even though I am practicing outside of the state of issue and therefore molesting people who are not residing in the state of my jurisdiction and therefore exist only as a revenue source for your office.”

Maybe he/she understands that he/she is on the razor’s edge of needing to find a way to market him/herself once he/she becomes The Nutcase formerly known as a Mass. Licensed Electrologist.

At this point, he/she only serves to prove my point that licensing doesn’t serve the public to protect them, only give government more ways to charge fees.

After all, if an MD was publicly slandering patients, and publishing their addresses and phone numbers, while discussing their case without permission, would the doctor have hospital privileges for long? Would the license board act on the information of such an offense?

I just found this site while trying to find reviews of Kimberly Williams’ practice and wish I had seen it prior to paying her a visit to get facial electrolysis. Yes, I am a former patient and I believe everything you all have been saying about her. She is off her rocker. Let me defend myself by saying that I only began seeing her for hair removal because her office is 15 minutes from my house and I recently moved to Phoenix so I am unfamiliar with electrolysis practitioners here.

In person…how can I say this…she has a VERY high opinion of herself; she thinks she is the only one who can do this job, she’s the best at it, and everyone else doesn’t appreciate what she does, steals her work, etc. She is very conceited. And she is like that about any subject, not just electrolysis. She is a rather slovenly person, disorganized, and rude. I was always made to feel like an inconvenience and after a few hundred dollars I didn’t see any results (and I’ve been getting electrolysis for 10 years so I’m not an amature here). Even after I told her “I don’t feel anything; I think you can increase the voltage,” she failed to do so. AND I could feel the hairs weren’t easily coming out; it felt like plucking, and she told me that was the root ball coming through the pore. I could go on and on about how uncomfortable I was at her place and with her, but the last straw was when I showed up for a Saturday appointment and she wasn’t there. As I was pulling away she pulled up in the parking lot. I got out and she said she was there only to pick something up from her office. I said that “no, we have an appointment.” Then she starts complaining about how her electrolysis machine part had to be replaced, her “readers” were broken and she couldn’t see anything. I finally got her to pull out her book and confirm that yes, I did have an appointment. After that, I was done! She didn’t even apologize after she clearly missed the appointment, but kept droning on about HER problems. She kept saying, “come inside and we’ll reschedule,” and I said, “no, I’ll get back to ya later.” Needless to say, I never did! Thankfully I only spent 4 sessions at that grossly overpriced, dingy little office with a crazy woman who could NEVER remember my name and often called me the wrong name.

I have since been fortunate enough to find a wonderful, effective, sane, and reasonably priced electrolysis woman elsewhere. Oh, but it gets better! My new electrolysis woman said to me one day that there was supposed to be a transexual in Scottsdale who was performing electrolysis and this woman called her once but she sounded like a crackpot with a man’s voice. I said, “OMG, I’m embarrassed to say this, but I used to go to her!” And I can’t see how Williams can say she is Dean of an Electrolysis School when my electrolysis woman has been in Phoenix for over 30 years and said there hasn’t been an electrolysis school here in the Phoenix Metro area for years. She said there was talk about starting up a program in a tech school, but no one could get coordinated. My woman was involved with the local electrolysis group, when they had one, and was telling me all sorts of local history about electrolysis here, but no mention of William’s school. So there you go. Who are these students at Williams’ school that she’s dean of? Beats me.

If I could find a way to warn others about Kimberly Williams I would, then at least some good would come of my experience. . But I’m afraid she would slap a lawsuit against me for slander or something.

You are very brave to post about Kimberly Williams’ Boston School of Electrolysis in Scottdale Arizona. Keep an eye on her website, for she may let loose on you next. James, Andrea and poster sanny has certainly felt her ire. She’s banned from hairtell, so you may be covered, since she may not see your post.

Actually, your posting here is a great service to the people of your area. As the humanoid known as Kimberly Williams has raged, when you enter that person’s info into Google, you get directed here before you get directed to that person’s website, so it is likely that people will see your review and consider themselves warned.

I would like to take time to point somthing out at this juncture. As much vitriole and bile as this person has served up to us over the last half a decade, we have always maintained that we had never had a review of the actual work one might be able to obtain if one were to actually visit the famed offices advertised by Kimberly Williams, Boston School of Electrolysis located in Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona (AZ). Even when a poster here told her story of driving far out of her way (against our recommendations) to Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona to try out the services there, and ended up leaving due to the (um, what’s that?) rude behavior, condition of the office, odor of the office, and furthermore being told that the time had been double booked, and she should go have lunch and return in 2 hours, did we jump all over Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona’s Kimberly Williams and The Famed Boston School of Electrolysis? No, we did not. We lamented that someone went all that way and did not sample the work and so could not come back with a review that said, the place is not my ideal, but at least the electrolysis is well performed, or the place stinks, and so does the work delivered.

As for the students of the Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona so-called boston school, well, the so-called school was never certified, so one can’t use state education funds or government loans to go there, and you can’t use any credits earned there to qualify for any state’s licensing program, so what good is it? Oh, yeah, one could qualify for his/her self created Five Star Electrolysis Certification and pay him/her additional money over the years for his/her “Certified Educational Upgrads”. Which is strange, as if one was taught by The Ultra Superior Kimberly Williams at the World Renowned Boston School Of Electrolysis at 7330 East Earl Dr, Suite J, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, in the first place, why would one need upgrades to that Ultimate educational experience in Kimberly Williams’ opinion? One would think that this person who is always touting licensing would want to make damned sure that the school that person runs is capable of turning out licensed practitioners, but apparently not. This known problem is even admitted by Kimberly Williams in that the signage of the office simply says, Boston Electrolysis. The word school does not appear anywhere visible to the outside world, except in the web site address vinyl letters showing the web site address on the window to the actual office, which is in the rear of the building, not visible from the street view so prominently displayed on Williams’ web site. It must also confuse most people, as they know they are standing in Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona, and are probably wondering if it is like when you got to an Native American Casino, where you may be in the state of New York, but you are suddenly standing in The Seneca Nation.

Now we have it from someone who has been to 7330 East Earll Dr, Suite J, Scottsdale, AZ 85251 more than once. The work is nothing to write home about, the equipment is in need of upgrading, and lots of people here on HairTell deliver better work results.

Hi James…

Congratulations. I just heard you were upped to a GOLD STAR. A special award was made for you because there was nothing higher than a five star award and they wanted to do more for you because of all the good work you have done. You are the ONLY one in our field with a GOLD STAR. There will be nothing higher ever. Like the MEDAL OF HONOR. There will be no 2 gold stars or platinum or anything else. You made it to the top Buddy. Good luck.

Thank You Harvey. I know that your respect is not easily earned.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Lend me your ears.

After years of hearing feedback from actual visitors to the offices of our favorite nutball, and not knowing what to believe, I can now say that having made the pilgrimage, and lived to tell the tale, what has been said to us by those who have braved the wrath of it is true.

The self proclaimed, 5-Star-E, looks NOTHING like the pictures posted on the web site. The office is too small to have EVER hosted a school, (at least in the sense that one could not have more than one student at a time, anyway) and what the 5-Star really needs is the professional attention that the jokingly self proclaimed Electrolysis World Champion can provide, in order to clear up those bristles off that scary face. I feel such compassion on what I saw that I would provide this service for free. Seriously. I would love to end your suffering my dear Kim. (I know you are reading this. You can’t get up in the morning without reading my every word so you can write a new page on your web site. Reminds me of a song, “Another Postcard (chimps)”)

As for the work provided at the establishment, the treatment result is acceptable. I would even say good - slower than most consumers I talk to prefer, but skin result is good. Although I have many reasons for not recommending anyone hazard the trip to this establishment, I can not say that fear of ruining one’s face is among them.

The office is as lovely as the web site pictures portray. (strange that the inside of the place is better represented than the recognizably of the person you are going to visit) The equipment is in good repair, although I would, as I always do, recommend upgrading the vision and treatment lighting equipment at the very least.

The work is not as fast as someone visiting me might have come to expect, but precision is the focus of this person’s work, and it is done with that in mind.

If we could separate the OCD, manic/depressive persecution complex personality from the work being done in this establishment, I would have had no problem saying that for good work with little expectation of post treatment negativity, this is a fine place to get work done if the pace of that work met with your goals.

I am truly sorry that there are so many other caveats that make it impossible for me to recommend this person’s services. Seriously, the things I have heard from people who have ended their client/practitioner relationship with this person would curl your hair and turn it white.

hello!

This is just too funny because i’ve heard similar stories.

Although I’ve not had the privilege (cough! cough!)of having electrolysis done by this person I have heard some pretty crazy stuff about her.

I go to a really nice lady named Patrice over at Pour Le Corps in Boston. She’s extremely talented! Anyway, apparently this kimberly person called and harassed and insulted her and her family all because she was using the phrase ‘Boston electrolysis’ which she somehow got the rights to herself…she’s written awful things about Patrice and Pour le corps on her website…which i actually find so funny to read about LOL!

I sometimes wonder if Williams thinks that the slander and vitriol oozing from that cavernous web site is a route to elevating Williams above the industry, or if the usual reaction of questioning the sanity of the writer is even understood by the author. The fantasy world represented by what is posted there is quite humorous to those who know the truth, and even to those who can only guess at the truth.

Thanks for speaking up Bell. You do realize, there will be a new post on the page of horrors (TM C Registered copyright) that purports to be you recanting everything you said. :wink:

I cannot even tell you how or why it was I stumbled on that web site one day. However, it was quickly evident that logic, reason, and sanity were not involved in the preparation of those web pages. How anyone can go on forever without stating any facts or any worthwhile opinions regarding electrolysis is completely beyond my ability to comprehend.

I wonder how the recognition of the qualities of a machine, a probe, or a method may make a disqualification to other brands or methods.
I do not want to be involved in this storm, but like Caith, I can not understand how these attacks can help improve vision that consumers have of Electrolysis. We all make mistakes because we are all human, but to perpetuate confrontation like this, is a deliberate attack to the entire profession and especially those who have dedicated much of our life trying to return the Electrolysis recognition that it deserves.

I do not care if James will benefit from his participation in Hairtell. James is not alone, we all benefit in one way or another.
Consumers get information not found anywhere else and is useful to initiate, continue or finish their adventure to the release of the hairs.
Professionals may obtain information that will help improve the quality of our services and therefore, the end customer will benefit equally.
Manufacturers (who bother to read) learn what our needs are and to what extent the product can be improved. Schools can obtain an increase in the number of students, because thanks to Hairtell, the prospective student is aware of the high demand for this technique yet.

Electrologists associations manage to have arguments to focus their collective efforts.

What if a machine is manufactured by American, Canadian, German or Spanish? what really matters is that many machines are manufactured and sold many needles and there are many people free of hair, because that will mean that Electrolysis is ALIVE.
If this absurd struggle continues, all you get will not manufacture anything, nor there, neither here, nor anywhere.

Sigh, it’s been few years since this was posted to. The nutbar is still at it. I’ve no idea James and Andrea, why you havent sued for libel yet. You must have a LOT of patiencce ( well I guess you do since you put up weith my endless questions, and to think James, I never ONCE clued in that you supposedly spit vitrol and hate at TG folks like myself ! I’m truly shocked ! uh…wait a minute, maybe because you never have ever? )
I came across her site while researching licensing information. Then I read Andrea’s page on hairfacts. All this because any email at her domain goes to her? Really? Hint nutjob, as a 20 year veteran of System Engineering and a qualified MCSE and microsoft exchange certified specialist, I can tell you 90% of email domains are configured this way! Just wow.

Oh well I suppose I’m setting myself up to be “another shrill” and earn a special place on her page . Heck, maybe it will cure my sons autism, make the hair fall out of my face and earn me that certification I’m working so hard to attain.

I can tell you , having seen andrea 's posts accross a half dozen TG sites and interacted many times with her, I have NEVER seen the behaviour nutjob describes. I just cant believe, that anyone has put up with that libel on the web for over a decade. It just amazes me.
