Simply the best!
Posted by simplythebest123 on 10/29/2009
I happened upon Karen really by accident. That was almost 3 years ago. I am STILL one of Karen's clients. I am a down to earth kind of person. I only deal with the same. Karen is extremely good at what she does. If she wasn't, I wouldn't spend my money there. And I like my money!

Went to Karen for the first time last week & it was an absolutely fantastic experience. As an active Cder, I was a bit apprehensive going in but Karen made me feel completely at ease with her profesional attitude & her kind understanding. Her vast knowledge & experience was impressive & I will be definitly coming back to see her for more treatments!!!!!!!!!!

Love her!
Posted by GirlsRuleInc on 08/25/2009
I am a client of Karen Marlise. I just started going to her a few months ago and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. I was refered by a friend which made me even more comfortable. I read the posting from the last reveiw and felt compelled to write. She is very knowledgeable in her feild and if you read over her qualifications... there are like a hundred and they all check out. When she did address other clients there were no names and I am not saying that she doesn't talk alot, however it is just her personality. Which you can't help but like!

Totally Pleased with Service
Posted by hairstylist123 on 08/18/2009
As a woman with unwanted hair on her face...I needed to find a Permanent Hair Removal specialist who could help me.
I needed someone that was EDUCATED & EXPERIENCED...(because I have already been scarred by someone else....ripped of by someone who said laser would work.)....
I wanted to find someone that I was comfortable with and didnt make me feel more embarrassed about my situation.
I needed someone to be HONEST & explain to me how much time & expense I could expect to be hair free.
I wanted this service to be fast & as pain free as possible I needed to find someone who could do early evening appointments..etc. etc. etc.
and OF COURSE....I wanted it to be AFFORDABLE!!!!! Guess what? I found KAREN!!!
If you are looking for the same service go see Karen.

Couldn't Be Happier!
Posted by hunterla on 08/08/2009
I have been a client of Karen's for five years now. I have had electrology, laser hair removal, facials, acne treatments, make-up applied, and my hair colored by Karen. Not only does Karen offer numerous services but she has the most experience of anyone I know. She has more training and has been in the business longer than most people, which is why I will ONLY go to her. I would recommend Karen for anyone who is seeking the services she provides.

My experience with Karen
Posted by Karmaprincess9 on 08/03/2009
My experience was most unusual.Karen doesn't have any office staff and tries to manage everything by herself, she works 7 days a week and the feeling is a rushed uncomfortable atmosphere where she makes you feel like she is hurried to get to the next booking because she overbooks herself so she says. I got electrolysis the treatment went ok and she seemed to do a good job but the whole time she talked about her problems and how people were writing bad reviews and everyone needed to tip her at the end of the treatment, I felt I knew all her problems and out of quilt tipped her ten dollars. I drove 90 minutes home thinking well maybe she was just having a bad day so I brushed it off. I called for an appointment a week later afetr growing my hair out for 4 days I was uncomfortable and needed to see her again even though my first experince was strange,I am willing to give everyone a second chance, I even asked my boyfriend to come along to get some hair removed so we made a day of it since we had to drive 90 minutes each way. I had gotten a call from Karen earlier that day to confirm she would see me at 4 pm. We arrived an hour early and waited around until 4pm she wasn't in her office and while I was waiting another one of her appointments showed up and ended up leaving because Karen never showed up or answered her phone .at 4 : 30 after 10 calls and no response , we headed back to try to beat traffic.I was so distraught and uncomfortable about the situation that I was in here we are stuck in traffic half way home when Karen calls up at 5:25pm and acts like she had some errands to do that were more important at that time and she would make it up to us. We hung up on her and thought that is crazy. It was so unproffessional and totally wrong to do to us and I was bringing her a new client! wow not a good way to treat your clients. I will never go back to Karen and I suggest you seek someone less negative to treat you and Karen you should not be operating a business in such a manner you gab about people not treating you right and complaining well what comes around goes around and I was shocked at the irresponsibility you showed me. I have never been treated like that. The next day I called to make an appointment with someone else for the same service and it only took them ten minutes to do the same work she took over an hour to do and mind you she charges by the minute so on top of it all. I was exploited by this woman, because I had no idea how long it was suppossed to take because she was the first person I had seen. I learned alot a big juicy ad online does not mean a proffessional stands behind it. I learned the hard way ,be careful!

Very professional
Posted by Sue123654 on 07/31/2009
I have been going to Karen for several years taking advantage of several of the services she provides. Karen has always made sure I was happy with the results on each visit. She really cares about her clients and wants to make them happy - which I liked!!! She really knows what she is doing and tells you what to expect. She has been right on target each time. I have recommended Karen to several friends and everyone who has gone to her has been very happy with the results. She's a great woman and I am very happy I found her.

Awesome job!!!
Posted by snoopy36dw on 07/23/2009
She did my permanent eyeliner (upper and lower lids) last night and I am thrilled with my results!!! She really listened to me and how I wanted the eyeliner to look (very natural). Karen was very concerned with making sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, which took about 2 hours. She is a perfectionist -- the exact personality type you want in someone who is putting something fairly permanent on your face -- so she really takes the time with you to make sure it is the 'best' as humanly possible!!! Compared to the first time I had my eyeliner applied (by someone else in Tampa 2 years ago) -- this time was much better - better results, minimal pain, and actually cost less (always a plus). I highly recommend her to all of my friends, family and colleagues. By the way -- I have scheduled my appointment with Karen to have my lips done in 2 weeks -- very happy!!!
Thanks, Karen, for an amazing job well done!

Couldn't be happier with the results!
Posted by anastasia2 on 07/14/2009
Having spent $$$ and time previously on unsuccessful electrolysis in Pennsylvania, I was hesitant to invest into more "hair removal." Desparate, however, I set up a free consultation with Karen figuring I had nothing to lose. I was pleasantly surprised with Karen's warm personality, knowledge, and reassurance. She definitely knows what she's doing! I just completed my final laser hair removal treatment and couldn't be happier with the results! Karen manages her business the right way, an honest 'small business' that would do anything for the client.

Karen is very unprofessional
Posted by carriegz on 07/06/2009
I will not return for any service from Karen because she is very unprofessional.
She has discussed other clients with me in a disparaging way (that's right - the transgenders, the female Indian client with a lot of facial hair, the female teacher with back hair, etc - I've heard about your intimate issues).
She also mocked me and was very condescending when I expressed concerns about the service I was receiving.
Also, as I read the reviews on this site, it seems very possible that most of the positive reviews were written by Karen herself.
