I had an amazing experience at LaserAway in Carlsbad! From the moment I walked in, the staff was…read morewelcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. The clinic is spotless, modern, and very well organized. My provider was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process, answer all my questions, and make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The treatment itself was quick, effective, and much easier than I expected. What really stood out was how attentive and friendly everyone was--no rushing, no pressure, just great care and great results. I'm already seeing improvements and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend LaserAway Carlsbad if you're considering laser treatments or aesthetic services. I'll definitely be back!

i would never normally complain like this but since day 1 of being a customer at the Carlsbad…read morelocation ive been extremely unhappy and have spent thousands of wasted dollars here... 1 don't even go here but 2 if you do, make sure you negotiate before because they completely rip you off.. they actually have multiple class action lawsuits against them for this exact reason. I apparently got "70% off" and still paid 3600$ for 8 sessions for under arm, brazilian and lower legs and was told if i hung up the phone i wouldn't get that same offer again, meanwhile my friend called a few days later and got all of that for 2500$ plus a 2 free facials and she still even felt ripped off.. she said they did the facials with her make up still on and was out in 5 minutes. so obviously it started off with my whole sales pitch, she was very snotty, i felt rushed and couldn't even ask questions without her making me feel dumb and i was clearly completely lied to as well. secondly, when i explained to one of the receptionist that i was upset by this, she pulled up my friends account and told me private information about her file which is a HIPAA violation and made me very uncomfortable with how they handle private information and my friend was extremely mad about this as well. and AGAIN i was lied too.. the receptionist told me she got money off because she had "points" which was untrue because my friend even told me that's not why she did. plus even for myself, i was told was that after 1 year your "points" expire (mind you, you have no access yourself to these points, they just make it up behind their computer screen) yet when i called to make my last appointment because i had 1 more session left i was told "oh! you have hundreds of dollars in your account right now" trying to get me to buy more... but it was over a year? weren't they supposed to expire? third, the worst part is that the services alone have been horrible. the nurses more than half of the sessions never even chalked my areas leaving my results uneven and spotty. i even asked 3 times to the ladies in the front to please make sure they chalk me and do a quality job and it still continued to not happen. another lie i was told was that "shaving promotes hair growth" i'm a hairstylist that is completely untrue, again just showing how untrained these nurses are. my second to last appointment the nurse didnt even finish doing my whole bottom of armpit and then my brazilian she went so fast and missed like every other spot and just completely just missed my bikini line. i timed my appointment and i was out in 7 minutes, clearly they are not doing an efficient job in that time matter. if at least the services/results were good i would be able to let this go but the fact that i've been highly ripped off, treated rudely, lied to, crossed HIPAA violation and im still having to go somewhere else for more sessions cause they failed to do it correctly i feel like this is necessary.. i recommend Proof Aesthetics in the village of carlsbad or even driving to La jolla at SEV is worth it then coming here... they give you the prices up front and are honest.

The new salon,which has been open for a couple weeks now, is such a better location! It's newer, has fresh floors and paint, and is more spacious which makes me feel even more comfortable getting my sugaring done. Since her move to this location, her Brazilian sugaring service is just as great. I have not yet had a spa or facial service, but I look forward to trying them someday. For anyone wondering how sugaring is different than waxing, you really ought to just try it. I have a thicker hair texture and, since switching to sugaring, I have fewer ingrown hairs and slower growth. By the way, if you do have any difficult ingrown hairs, let Christina know and she may be able to extract them for you. :) So happy for their move to this beautiful new place.

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment.

It was for a full body wax, but when I called to make the appointment, Minda just kept saying "it's soooo much work". I told her that it's fine, I won't buy it if she doesn't want to do it. She said she would still honor the deal but kept repeating it's so much work and would take hours and that Groupon was supposed to take the ad down. It felt like she wanted me to offer to pay more, but I just said it sounds like she doesn't want to do it so I can go elsewhere and she said she would prefer that. I think turning someone away in that way was unprofessional and it made me really uncomfortable that she kept telling me how much work it is. She shouldn't offer a service she isn't willing to follow through with. It was just a very uncomfortable experience.
