Very accommodating with my tight schedule. Squeezed me in a week after I had to cancel my first appointment. Janice was polite, professional, and made me feel comfortable for the whole experience.

This place is great! The staff are very professional and they do a thorough job with the hair removal. Best part of all though, they dont charge for a whole program of treatments. Some other places want to charge in excess of $2,200 for the whole kit and caboodle, but then guarantee it for your lifetime. Maybe that works for people that plan to live close to their laser hair removal place for their entire life. I guess Id rather pay as I go and if I need a touch up later, then Ill just pay for it. No need to take out insurance on my nether region.

Kim at Permanent Choice is AMAZING! I’ve tried laser hair removal at another place and it was terrible. They lied to me about what results I would achieve just to get me to by a package. Kim is kind, honest and professional. Highly recommend her and Permanent Choice.

I was waxing for so long it was so pricey getting waxing every 6weeks not just that ingrown hair, Skin damaged! My skin looks so much better now i can comfortably wear a bikini and my all my sessions are not ever completed!Kim is amazing! Such a humble person. Know what she is doing but most importantly loves her work, if you love what you do it resembles on your face! I just love her!I promise i am not getting Paid to leave a review. Is real lol ♥️

Been seeing Kim as my laser tech for over a year and she is so great! I heard horror stories from my friends who went to other places, getting scars, or just being in complete agony the whole time. Kim will make your visit pleasant, enjoyable and something you will look forward to! Highly reccomended!

Kim is amazing! I have been having the laser procedure on my chin and face, and the difference after even one visit is phenomenal. Why did I wait so long to do something for myself that makes me feel good?! Ask for Kim, she is professional, friendly, and puts you at ease immediately. I have nothing but good things to say, and I can’t wait to go back. Do this for yourself- you won’t be sorry.

There isn’t anyone that I would recommend more than Kim. From my very first consultation, she has respectfully exuded comfort while also thoroughly educating me on the different types of treatments. Instead of silently concentrating on the pain, Kim does an excellent job of diverting my attention by having genuine conversations, which makes for a soothing treatment and makes the sessions fly by! After three consistent years of being her patient, there is absolutely no other person I would visit for laser hair removal aside from Kim!

Kim at the Woodbury location is friendly and professional. She makes the process as painless as possible. After years of dealing with facial hair due to PCOS, I felt all was hopeless until I meet Kim. She not only listened to my concerns but was knowledgeable about PCOS, the causes and treatments available. She was confident in her work and it really shows. After 1 (yes 1) session I saw results! I just had my second treatment and knowing that after the allotted number of treatments is finished that I will only have to do maintenance has really been a game changer for me.

Laser hair removal through Permanent Choice is the best decision I have ever made! The results have made a huge difference in my day-to-day routine and genuinely boosted my confidence.Kim at the Woodbury location, has everything a person could ask for when going through this process. She is warm and friendly, making you feel very comfortable from start to finish. She is professional and experienced, answering all questions directly and with facts to back her up. She also listens to what you need and how you are feeling to ensure youre not only getting the best results possible, but are never too uncomfortable.I tell everyone to go to her at Permanent Choice - seriously worth it!

I have 4 treatments for laser hair removal with Kim and so far my experience has been great! She has been super kind and is very knowledgeable about the whole process! I have started seeing results and notice that the hair in the area that I am getting done is less and less. Highly recommend this place, great customer service!

I had a great experience and highly recommend Services with Kim who I met for the first time and she was very nice and is experienced and made me feel very comfortable through out the laser hair removal process. She was thorough explaining every step throughout the process and it was less pain than waxing and I appreciate the cool laser touch that minimized pain. It’s like no pain with this cool laser technique! The price is affordable and only couple blocks away from home! I highly recommend Kim at Woodbury and Liliana at the Bloomington location too!

Ive been a client of Kims for a number of years and have nothing but wonderful things to say about my whole experience. Kim is an expert when it comes to knowing everything there is to know about hair removal. Shes been in this field for 20+ years and her experience is unparalleled. Ive had both laser and electrolysis treatments. If youre looking for quality, affordable hair removal, this is your place!

Im a registered nurse and grad student... so when I actually have free time I dont want to waste it on shaving/primping. I go to the Woodbury location and have been very pleased with my results. Kim S. is a straight-shooter and will let you know what to expect and how to get the results youre seeking. I wouldnt trust anyone else to zap my legs (or more delicate areas) with a laser. 100% happy with results and prices. 100% recommend =^.^=

Just had my second appointment at Permanent Choice in Woodbury with Kim since they opened up back up with Covid protections in place. As someone who is immune suppressed I feel very comfortable that they are taking the precautions needed to keep both me and their staff safe. If I didnt, I would be postponing my appointments. Kim was double masked with a face shield and other protections. Theres an evacuator running to protect both of us. Clients are required to wear masks while being treated. We are also asked to wash hands and sanitize on our way in. Do we need to put off a few procedures like upper lips (which would otherwise require mask removal) until times are safer? We do, which seems perfectly appropriate for everyones safety. I applaud Permanent Choice and Kim for doing everything they can to protect both employees and clients.

This is my second time doing laser hair removal, and the results are noticeably better with Permanent Choice compared to the last place I went. Kim, at the Woodbury location, is phenomenal!! She is extremely knowledgeable and is sure to explain everything with you prior to treatment, making you feel completely at ease. I will be recommending Permanent Choice, Kim in particular, to anyone looking for laser hair removal!!

Review №27

I wanted to share how I was treated by Permanent Choice. After many years of my loyal business, which included over $5,000 for laser, I was treated with immense disrespect. Their policy states there will be a charge of $25 for late cancellations and no shows. On each and every occasion for which I had a late cancellation or was a no show, I always paid the late fee with absolutely no complaints, which I know can’t be said for every customer that had to pay the $25 penalty. When booking my latest appointment, I was told I had to either be notified the same day I could get services or prepay the service plus a late fee and the electrolysis salary for the time they would have spent with me. This is not the policy which every client signs before attaining their services. In addition, it is illegal for any company to divulge an employees salary. They did not have a problem with the last appointment I made; however, they did have a problem booking my next appointment. I found that interesting since the technician cancelled my last appointment because of the weather, not me. Why was I held accountable for the technicians decision to cancel my appointment? When discussing this with Permanent Choice, they said and I quote, “If you say another word, I’m going to hang up.” Wow!!!! A business is threatening to hang up on a costumer. That is controlling and narcissistic behavior of which I do not tolerate. A good business recognizes the saying that makes them a good business, which is, you can disrespect some of the people some of the time, but you can’t disrespect all of the people all the time. If I am treated in a rude, disrespectful manner, there will be consequences for that behavior. Thank goodness our society has evolved, so all voices can be heard. Unlike years ago when the mistreatment upon others went unnoticed, we now have the internet to hold those businesses accountable that are rude and disrespectful to their clients. Most people read google and yelp reviews before choosing one business over another. There are many electrolysis in the Twin Cities to choose from; therefore, businesses can’t afford to have bad reviews, which luckily we now have a platform to be heard, thanks to social media and the internet. This company’s inappropriate, cruel behavior goes beyond what I have mentioned thus far. In one conversation when they inquired about my cancellations, for which I always paid the $25 late fee, I shared with the staff that I was going through a very difficult time this last year with my personal life and the unexpected death of my brother. The response I received was, “Everybody gets depressed.” Wow!!!!! Keep in mind I wasn’t asking for any favors as I always paid my late fee. The care and compassion of this company is underwhelming. All I can say to that is shame on you for treating me so cruel. Let’s hope Permanent Choice will learn a lesson from this. The lesson being there are consequences for rude, disrespectful behavior of which they will be held accountable. #nofilter

Body hair is not something I wish to fight— but when my confidence skyrockets the way it does after a laser hair removal treatment, I have to do it. As a long time patron, I can attest to how both professional and caring my experiences have been with Permanent Choice. Kim specifically has settled my anxiety about the facial hair removal procedures from the beginning when I was in puberty. Now, at 25, I hardly have to visit but she still talks me through i”a treatment because that’s what I like, shows interest in my life, and sticks with a routine for each visit. Thank you Kim at Permanent Choice!

I have had laser treatments on the front and back of my neck. I love the results and my folliculitis has improved with each treatment. I chose Permanent Choice because they have one of the best lasers, great reviews, multiple locations and great pricing. The ladies who schedule are so professional and give you all the pricing info, pre and post care info all via email and reminder text on the day of my treatment . My technician has always been very kind and professional. I highly recommend Permanent Choice for your dark and light hair removal needs.

I have been going to Permanent Choice since late last summer for laser hair removal. The results have been dramatic - I am nearly finished with the treatment recommendations and I could never have imagined such awesome results. Kim at Woodbury is fantastic and very personable. She makes you feel comfortable during the treatment sessions. They were extremely knowledgeable and helped to educate me on the process/laser info as well. I would highly recommend Permanent Choice

Review №38

I used to receive electrolysis regularly at a location on the west side of town, and initially sought Permanent Chiice for that service closer to home. I’d never considered laser treatment (because I thought it be significantly more expensive) until Kim suggested it. So glad she did. I’ve had three treatments and have seen significant improvement in less time with fewer sessions. I like that electrolysis is also available as it’s sometimes a necessary supplemental service as well. Kim is wonderful to work with. I appreciate the friendly reminder call and text in advance as well. I definitely recommend Permanent Choice.

I could tell the moment I called I had made the right decision! I am extremely impressed with the service I received and I am already planning what to do next!!! The technicians take the time to explain everything in detail and the laser procedure itself doesnt take long at all!! I wish I would have done this sooner!!!Also, the ladies on the phone are amazing! They answered all my questions and addressed my concerns before and after the visit. Keep up the great work!! (PS I went to the Eden Prairie location)

This place is amazing!!!! Kim is a wonderful technician not only is she great at providing services she’s been through it so she totally understands the struggle with unwanted hair. I’ve had amazing results with just even one treatment I’ve had significantly less hair. I would highly recommend them. I know a lot of people are skeptical of laser hair removal and it took me 5 years to actually set up an appointment, don’t use a groupon at some salon go see Kim you will be extremely pleased you did!

I could not be happier with the treatments and service I receive at Permanent Choice. I have been going to laser treatments for several years now and it is well worth the money and time.

Review №53

AMAZING RESULTS!! I have to admit I was so skeptical of laser hair removal. I waxed and tweezed for years. I was finally tired of all the time I wasted at the salon for waxing that I decided to take a leap and try laser. I checked out all the local clinic and decided on Permanent choice. No heavy sales pitch, no pressure and a very clean location and a thoughtful technician. After 3 services I am almost hair free on my face and lip. The cost was a fraction of what I have spend waxing at salons. If you are hesitant and just want to see what they do, schedule an appointment. These ladies are pros and the no pressure sales is why I chose them over all the others.

Permanent Choice is a great business with even better business practices. They care about your the healthy and well-being of your skin, and will not do anything to jeopardize that. They always check on any recent antibiotics or sun exposure to ensure maximum safety. Kim at the Woodbury location does phenomenal work and is kind and caring toward her patients. I would highly recommend.

I always love going to Permanent Choice in Woodbury! The environment and staff are amazing. I would highly recommend (Kim) when you make an appointment. Before getting laser, I would normally get waxed; which was expensive, painful, and not-permanent. On top of that, I would have to let the hair grow out before hand. After my first treatment, I could already see a difference; and Kim was GREAT at making me feel comfortable and relaxed. She answered any questions I had and went over everything I needed to know. Shes professional and always a joy to see!! Definitely recommend Permanent Choice in Woodbury!!-Anna-

I’ve been going here since beggining of the year. I’ve had a ovarian cyst that cause hair growth excessively all over areas you don’t want.

Review №59

I cannot express how satisfied I am with the INCREDIBLE results I received from Kim! She is very highly experienced and it makes all the difference!I have been fighting really noticeable hair my whole life, having to shave every day since I was 9 years old. By night time I would always have terrible stubble.and it always felt dirty, uncomfortable and embarassing. It ruined my self esteem.I finally got laser hair removal for the first time at the age of 36 and I had really high hopes of just being rid of the whole mess. I dreamed about it!I went to a place in Woodbury and spent $1500 on a package. After one treatment my hair was lighter, but I still had to shave every day. After 4 treatments it was better, but the shaving continued. The place closed business and I lost my money. My hair problem returned to its full ferocity and I just let it go.At 43 my hormones changed and it got so much worse and turned darker. I was fed up and decided to try again. I found Permanent Choice in Woodbury.After the first treatment it got worse. I was really frustrated. It grew faster and was even more coarse. I was sickened. Then one night, about 2 weeks after that first treatment, I was watching TV and I reached to feel how bad (how coarse) it was....IT HADNT EVEN GROWN SINCE I SHAVED IN THE MORNING. IT FELT SMOOTH.I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!!!Too good to be true I expected in the morning to have full growth, but it was still smooth!!!I cried for about 1/2 hour. I was even shaking! I felt free!! Complete joy!It has been over a month and I am still smooth. I went in for a maintenance treatment and it is just TOO PHENOMINAL!!! Every day I cannot believe it has finally happened. I think I must be dreaming. I am so grateful.
