Such as... * Text communication for appointments (perfect for us busy folks who can't get on the phone!) * State of the art machines (crucial for those of us with darker skin who need to be mindful). * Extremely well organized staff who keep everything humming perfectly, including the punctuality of appts. * Amazing technicians who not only know what they're doing but are kind and thoughtful and who are efficient but never rushed. (A huge shout out to Julia--she is like soothing balm to my soul and I always leave feeling more relaxed than when I came in despite the lasers lol) * And most importantly, IT WORKS. Whatever sessions you sign up for, I guarantee you see the results. * Oh and second most importantly, it is AFFORDABLE. Start with a Groupon and grow to buying packages directly from them with the specials they regularly offer! It's like the pricing of a place that you don't expect to be the spa-like environment that it is! I know I'm just piling on the great reviews here, but quite frankly, they've earned them!

One is, so I can't even book until I provide a doctor's note. I could've done that weeks ago, and I would've just bought a 50% off package with the holiday deals and booked my first session if I didn't need to first come in for a 3 minute consult. The front desk staff was nice (though I have no clue what their names were because no one introduced themselves) and I was seen on time, so two stars for that, but three stars off for wasting my time. I've been preparing for weeks to begin laser treatments - no waxing, no sun, only shaving, etc., and now I'm unsure whether I should bother going back or find a different provider. UPDATE: Following my consultation, I received an email soliciting my feedback. I provided it and expressed that I had a poor experience during my consultation but remained interested in purchasing a package and working with a different specialist. No one acknowledged or responded. It now seems I'll be purchasing services elsewhere since Laser Spa doesn't care enough to earn my business with a simple response to an email. The location really is convenient and I prepared for many weeks for the treatments, so this is highly disappointing.

I've been coming to this place for many years and cannot recommended them enough. The staff here is…read moreextremely courteous and helpful. I've had many different technicians over the years, some better than others but all of them are professional when doing the treatments. The front desk staff in particular provides great customer service and are very easy to contact when I need to schedule or reschedule an appointment. I've had laser on most of my body and now I only need to go every couple of months for maintenance since some areas do grow back due to hormones. They use Cynosure laser and this has been very effictive for my skin. Getting laser was the best investment since I really don't ever have to worry about shaving anymore. They always have different promotions available so the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're interested in laser hair removal.

It was a last minute decision to come after getting a few text messages about 15 percent off service. The SoHo location is closer to me. It's on the fourth floor of an office building so not as stand alone and not as nice as the midtown office. Without an appointment I was able to get my wax within seconds of arrival. The front desk woman was really friendly. There were other ppl there getting their eyebrows threaded. The sugar wax went ok. It just wasn't as great as the service as my first time at the midtown East location. It was obviously asymmetric so I had to ask for it to be fixed. So seemed a little less thoughtful/careful than my first time.

I hadn't been to a European wax center in many many many years. I thought hard wax would hurt a bit more than my usual sugaring but it actually didn't really hurt if at all. It was pretty painless..

I didn't have any ingrown or broken off patches of hair either. I honestly would've going back until someone mentioned to me that I probably was allergic to the wax. That sucks because I really did enjoy the after experience once it stopped itching. She listened to my concern when I told her that usually waxers leave a patch of hair in the back unintentionally.
