Melbourne Hair Removal Centre

Ghitta is a world class professional electrologist who has an amazing technique and has dedicated her life to perfecting her art. The attention she pays to her work and hygiene is immaculate.

Before I met Ghitta, I had been going to another electrologist for about 18 months – the sessions with the previous electrologist were very painful due to the older machine and the previous electrologist would pluck the difficult hairs, which really annoyed me. Also I would get frequent bruising which was embarrassing and frustrating to cover up. Also the hair reduction wasn’t really working.

Prior to any electrolysis I had various laser and IPL sessions for approximately 4 years. My initial problem, and the reason why I resorted to laser on my face in the first place is because I had about three hairs on my chin (which I used to pluck) and my upper lip (which I used to wax). I had been getting laser treatment on my lower legs and underarms at the time and was so very happy with those results that during the same laser session, I asked them to quickly “zap” the few hairs on my chin and my upper lip, then said what the hell, if there are others I can’t see you may as well zap those too from neck up (even though there was nothing actually there).

Well, that was the biggest mistake I made because the laser treatment caused the problem to exacerbate a thousand fold. The laser was very effective on my upper lip but actually created a hair problem all over the rest of my face, including where I had NO hairs to begin with. If I had my time again, I would have chosen electrolysis over laser for my face. All I can say (based on personal experience rather than scientific fact) is that Laser/IPL is not effective for fine hairs, no matter how much they tell you it is. I have also had several laser treatments on my stomach and my thighs (both had very fine hairs) – and the hair did not reduce at all, in fact like my face, the effect of the laser and IPL on my stomach and thighs created/activated much more hairiness than my original state. That’s when I gave up on laser and decided to try electrolysis.

The previous electrologist I went to before Ghitta had several years experience, but the results were so slow and almost “ineffective” – previous was very quick, but would pluck and bruise me and the worst part about it was the pain associated with the old machine. Each session was so painful – all the while knowing that you’re paying money for something not quite working properly was so frustrating.

I did a bit of research on the net and came across references to Ghitta a few times and read all the testimonials on her website. I was a little dubious but decided to give it a go. And SO GLAD I DID! She has the technique and experience to know what she is dealing with and does not give up on the hair. She diligently works away at each of the problem areas until they no longer become a problem! And I have not, over the course of my treatment, experienced a single bruise by Ghitta. Another important factor to mention, that recovery of electrolysis was quicker with Ghitta also. Her after care product really helped to reduce inflammation and quicken healing.

Ghitta has cleared all my face (bottom of neck up to top of cheekbones), and helped with other problem areas of my body such as thighs, all of my stomach, strays on my lower legs, underarms, around nipples, arms. The results achieved are steady and real. It doesn’t happen overnight but it happens if you hang in there. The pain is much less with the newer machine. You can still feel the zap but it ‘s nothing like the painful old machines. Thinking about all the heartache, effort and money I spent on laser on my face and substandard electrolysis before meeting Ghitta makes me a little sad, but no point looking back. I thought I would write about my experience so hopefully others with the same problems can benefit. I also want to thank my wonderful, pleasant Ghitta for making me hair free happy!

I've been coming here due to PCOS which caused very excessive hair growth. I've found Ghitta to be very warm and friendly and the treatments work well and have been invaluable for my self esteem and confidence.

Have been going to Gheeta for a few years now. She fixed my face which was riddled with hair. Waxing was only making my hair grow thicker and faster and laser was useless. Am beyond happy with my results.
I noticed in the past few comments people blasting her for not treating trans. It seems that several of them are just being good friends by posting on behalf of their friends (some of them are not even based in Melbourne).
She turned away business people. I think as a professional she should be allowed to choose who she can best treat.

I have been enjoying Ghitta's outstanding service for more than 9 years now. Ghitta is lovely, welcoming and friendly. She is one of the best electrolysis professionals in Melbourne and I would gladly recommend her service.

Staff member told me “we don’t take male clients” when I called up and asked about booking a session. I’m a trans woman, it’s 2017, grow up.

This clinic is private and professional offering a very comfortable environment for those who prefer privacy when seeking such services. My first experience with electrolysis was with Ghitta and I found her to be very kind and catering to diverse women, making the process very easy and comfortable.

Rude staff, terrible service. Save your money and go somewhere that will actually treat you with respect.

I visited this hair removal center in the past week, and I was welcomed very warmly by Ghita, the owner. She was very pleasant and friendly, and explained the procedure and answered all my questions, allowing me to feel assured that I will be in good hands. Although it was my first time here, it was very clear that she is very well-liked and trusted by her clients.

Awful staff, and awful service!
the owner is so rude and rough! I emailed her personally to try to get to the bottom of it, but I was completely ignored and am still waiting to hear an apology.
The owner is writing fake positive reviews and dismissing other jaded customers as "trolls"! Completely childish and no sense of respect!

I would highly recommend Melbourne Hair Removal Centre to my family and friends.
I believe Ghitta is the best in electrolysis business, she is so professional and patient. The results obtained are amazing. Absolutely first class treatment!

Staff was so rude and disrespectful to me. I also just heard accounts from my friends of them being transphobic.would definitely not recommend getting a treatment from here

Really lovely lady and great service. This is my first time having electrolysis after years of laser hair removal and waxing and this has been my best experience to date. Highly recommend Ghitta and Melbourne Hair Removal Centre.

Disappointed. Quite rude, impatient and misses all the obvious bits that you need gone. You pay but you don't get what you need done. Not thorough, inefficient. You need to go back a few times! When you have to travel a few kms to get to the northern suburbs you can't keep wasting time really.
