Vivian is awesome and so knowledgeable and great at her craft. She is very nice to be around and I'm lucky to get this service from her. I've been to her twice and I plan on more visits to come! She makes me feel comfortable and relaxed during the session.

It was my first time getting electrolysis done for my face and I was very skeptical about the pain, but Vivian is so good at what she does, it literally did not even hurt! She was a wonderful lady and is very professional. I would one hundred percent recommend her to everyone I know of needing hair removal!

I am one of Vivian’s clients who decided to buy her books because I am moving to another country. There was so much information that I couldn’t find in Beauty magazines. I couldn’t understand why I was breaking out all the time, even with all the medications the dermatologist gave me. They were a waste of time and money. I can now control this problem without medications for the rest of my life.

Other Electrologists damaged my skin. Vivian told me how to treat my injuries. She has removed my unwanted hair painlessly without causing what I’ve experienced before.

As a professional fitness trainer and stage film actress, it is important I look fit and healthy and maintain good skin overall. In a few days after starting Vivian’s program I noticed a dramatic change in my face in general. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to pass this along to my clients, both male and female!

Vivian is great. She is very experienced, knowledgeable and takes her time. Treatment was not painful and quite opposite of what I expected. But, when you have someone as experienced as Vivian you can’t help but have great results. She cares a lot about her clients and makes you feel very comfortable too.

Vivian was very sweet. I was very nervous coming into the appointment, because I tend to have a lower pain threshold than most people. She was gentle and made sure I was comfortable at all times. You can easily tell Vivian loves what she does. She was very knowledgeable in the area of skin health. Overall, she provided a great experience for me.

Great lady very personable and friendly, pays attention to detail and is transgender friendly, being transgender myself.

Ms. Vivian Orgel does a marvelous job... she makes a very painful process a "shared experience" and her gentle techniques and patient care transform a very unpleasant chore into a tolerable and focused session of beauty improvement and helpful "life lessons”.

I have been treated by Electrologists in Beverly Hills and San Francisco and none compare with the care and genuine concern that Vivian shows her patients. Simply cannot say enough good things about how her technique and care far surpass any other salon.

If you are contemplating getting unwanted hair removed, you really need to consult with her, You will not be disappointed in the results.

She's personable and professional! The atmosphere is comfortable. Vivian explains everything. I am a young woman of color and is very pleased with her services. The procedure is not painful.

Vivian is great! I consider her a blessing. She's experienced and made me feel very comfortable during both visits. I'm excited about having my unwanted hair removed, and look forward to seeing her again! I will continue to update my progress, to help those looking for an electrologist in the Hampton Roads area.

Vivian is very patient and detailed. Vivian makes sure to get all the hairs she can in the specified area. She makes the procedure as painless as possible, and is very professional.

I love Vivian! She's great and very gentle. We always have good conversation and she honestly makes the whole process less painful.

I have been going to Vivian for the past 6 months and she has been removing hair from my chin and neck area (which was a lot from years of shaving). After explaining to her my battle with PCOS and how long I've been dealing with hirsutism, we set up a plan right away. Although I only go twice a month, I have seen a difference in the amount of hair as well as hair growth. She is so knowledgeable in hair removal, and her technique is pain free and doesn't leave any scabs. She makes me feel comfortable during the appointment and also is a great person to have conversation with. I recommend Vivian to anyone wanting to have hair removed!

Vivian does excellent work and makes your whole experience comfortable. She's very experienced in what she does and has even offered me referrals for my hyperpigmentation. Hands down, she is one of the best! I look forward to future appointments with her.

Vivian is such a delight. She is both personable and professional. She cares for her clients in such a manner that exceeds any other electrolysis clinic I've ever been to. She even educates you every step of the way! It is an amazingly inclusive location I'll add, very LGBTQ friendly.

"Vivian is great at what she does. She takes her time, pays attention to detail, and makes the whole experience a breeze."

"I have had electrolysis from several different practitioners over the years and Vivian Orgel is by far, the best practitioner I have seen. In the past, I have suffered scabbing and subsequent scarring from other providers so I was hesitant to see anyone new. Vivian came highly recommended by a friend and I have been extremely happy with her treatments. Vivian is so gentle and effective that treatments are comfortable and I never experience pain, scabbing or burning. She is so gentle that I brought my 13 year old daughter to her."

"I had my first visit with Vivian on Friday. I can't say enough positive things about her. She was extremely knowledgeable about skin care. She took her time to explain things to me. The electrolysis was not painful. She was quick and extremely effective . I've had some major skin issues in the past. She took her time to explain different essential oils and vitamins I need to take to help with my problem. I can truly say after just three days my skin looks better. She is someone that truly cares. She even texted me to make sure I was okay and to check on the progress with my skin, since I have been using the essential oil. She is truly a blessing!"

"I am an African American woman who has been dealing with embarrassing facial hair for years. I constantly had to shave and tweeze to remove the hairs and the tweezing has caused hyperpigmentation under my chin. I finally decided to take care of this problem permanently so I went to see an aesthetician about laser hair removal. She advised electrolysis because I had some white hairs and they could not be removed via laser. I have been seeing Vivian Orgel for my electrolysis treatments for only a few weeks and have noticed a considerable difference in my hair growth. Where I was originally shaving daily, I am able to go for almost a week before the growth is even noticeable. And it's extremely exciting to know that in time I won't have to shave at all! She is very professional, the work space is clean and comfortable and the treatments are painless. From our first conversation she assured me she would take care of me and she is definitely true to her word. If you have this problem, I highly urge you to give her a try."

I have been seeing Vivian about 5 months and have seen tremendous progress. My skin is smoother and my complexion is brighter. Vivian was very upfront with me and said it will take time and several treatments for the hair to clear. I'm very happy!

I have PCOS and have struggled with unwanted hair growth for many years. I have tried every method of hair removal and I waited many years before deciding to take the plunge into electrolysis. Years of self-consciousness and worry that I could have avoided. I used a company (that shall not be named) that has since gone out of business for laser hair removal and received hyper-pigmentation and burns. The hair never stopped growing and came back even thicker. Vivian is quite eccentric as a previous poster stated, but aren't most brilliant greats? Her methods are quick and minimally painless. After reviewing some posters on YouTube who claimed they were in tears after a procedure, I had my doubts. I have almost fallen asleep during my hour sessions with Vivian. She is very gentle and encourages feedback. She uses a different probe each time and disinfects the table after each client. Her pricing is inline with other electrolysis businesses in the area and I appreciate that she does not require any contracts and uses a pay per episode system. She also does not quote how long the process will take, which I also respect because who really knows? She says we have to see how the skin and body respond and I can stop at anytime. I have only had 2 sessions, but I can see a visible difference in my complexion and the rate of hair growth. I never thought I could go more than 12 hours without tweezing but since I've started with her, I've thrown out my tweezers. The change is absolutely amazing. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the progress of just 2 weeks and will continue to use Vivian for all my hair removal needs.

"Vivian is WONDERFUL you get a whole lot more than just hair removal. Vivian is very experienced and will educate you on the contributing factors to excessive hair growth and skin care. Vivian is vivacious and outgoing you will enjoy your time with her whether you need quiet to enjoy the nurturing your giving yourself or want to talk about world events, listen to music, or even problem solve. Vivian could be a life coach if she wanted to her insight and support is that thorough. Vivian's work space is cozy, neat and clean she uses sanitized products and a proven system for effective permanent hair removal. She is worth the time and the money to get the results you desire."

"Other electrologists damaged my skin. Vivian told me how to treat my injuries. She has removed my unwanted hair painlessly without causing what I've experienced before."

"First and foremost is her expert electrolysis. When I met Vivian, I had a large patch of long dark hair covering the back of my right leg. I have always had this "birthmark" and have been conscious of it in shorts and bathing suits; bleaching was never enough. Through permanent removal of this unattractive hair, Vivian has helped give me a self-confidence I never felt before. On a larger level, I have grown as a person through Vivian's friendship. Her knowledge of beauty and wellness through stress management and her supportive attitude has become an invaluable part of my life."

"Vivian Orgel provided me with the tools that have altered my life by drastically improving my image. Vivian's techniques also boosted my self-confidence."

"I was introduced to using lavender when I met Vivian. She insisted on its natural healing powers. I suffered from mild breakouts, especially during menstrual cycles or from stress. I have tried so many products and spent several hundreds of dollars with the battle, including fruit-acid peels and glycolic acid washes. Needless to say I was a bit skeptical, but I tried it and my skin began to improve. My complexion looks cleaner, old spots have faded and I continue to use it everyday!"

"Prior to Vivian Orgel's advice and treatments, I had skin injuries that I thought would last forever. But through her knowledgeable suggestions and solutions, most of my scarring has faded and healed."

"I am one of Vivian's clients who decided to buy her books. There was so much information that I didn't find in beauty magazines. I couldn't understand why I was breaking out all the time, even with all the medications the dermatologists gave me. They were a waste of my time and money. I can now control this problem without medications for the rest of my life."

"Vivian's method helped me get rid of my facial dark spots without any pain and cost me under a dollar."

"Informative and comprehensive. You covered it all!"

"Hi Vivian, I reached out to you awhile back regarding electrolysis then made the unwise decision of going with someone who isn’t as good as you. I’ve learned my lesson. Please let me know when you might have a half hour time slot either this weekend or some time next week. I would be coming to the NYC office. Once we finalize the date and time, please send me an invoice/pay request. Thank you and best regards"

"Dear Vivian, I caught the tail end of the Joe Franklin show when you were on about a year ago. I heard just enough to know what you were talking about and was very impressed with your intelligence and sincerity. I jotted your home down on a piece of paper and looked you up in a Manhattan phone book. That’s how I found you. Enclosed is my check for a copy of your book."

"Ms. Vivian Orgel
Dear Vivian,
Thank you for your kind note of March 4, and indeed I was more than delighted to participate in your well designed and well written book. It was a pleasure to help you with it but you certainly deserved much credit for your perseverance and dedication to this book.

With best wishes!
