After my review, I received this email. Please judge it yourself: "Unfortunately, unless these reviews are removed prior to your next appointment, we will not be able to schedule you for your last treatment. We take our reputation very seriously and these reviews; one for a location that you did not visit, are not an accurate representation of your Laser Tattoo Treatment or overall experience with us. We kindly ask that you take these reviews down so we're able to get you scheduled for your last Laser Tattoo Removal appointment!" read more

This review is not for the facial - my experience there has been really good. This one star review is for the total breakdown in system and their lack of customer centricity. I had a 11 am appointment this morning. I turn up only to be told that "there is no one to do my facial. Sorry!" I was pretty shocked since there was no call, voicemail or text canceling the appointment. In fact, I received an automated text yesterday confirming the appointment! The appointment was booked 6 weeks in advance. The receptionist tried to look into what had gone wrong but didn't seem to be empowered to do anything else besides re-book me. I understand life happens and staff can call in sick. That is really where an organization has a responsibility towards its customers to make it right. The first step is to inform though. The facials are still good but I am wary of their lack of customer focus. read more

I have been a Dr Laser patient for years! I love the Manhattan Beach location - easy parking and office is always warm/welcoming and clean. I get a routine facial and Zhanetta is INCREDIBLE! She is so friendly, professional, and does an incredible job with my skin. We always discuss the current issues I am facing with my skin and she always is suggesting services or products to help with my issues. She does a fantastic job at extractions, and leaves my skin feeling brand new. I also recently did a VI PEEL with Zhanetta and I highly suggest this service! It makes the biggest difference for my skin. After my facials, I usually get a skin rejuv. It was my first time meeting Kenzie and she did great! Very professional and sweet girl. We also discussed my concerns and she focused extra on those areas. She always made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain! And lastly, I finished my visit with Botox! Gia was very friendly and again we discussed my areas of concerns, and Gia assisted where needed. I liked that she used an ice pack on the area before injection - this was a nice touch. Gabby was at the front desk and she was so accommodating and friendly! She answered any questions I had and made the flow of my apportionments quick and easy. I was not waiting long for my next service which was so nice. Booking my next months service with Gabby was so easy too! Great job to the Manhattan Beach Team!! This month's visit was flawless. I got done everything I needed to in one visit, and I was done in a timely manner. Thank you !!!! read more

Receptionist was 30 min late to open the door at 9am. Can happen. Another patient and I waited. I took time off from work. That's fine too. But the fact that one client who waited was given her laser treatment complimentary and I wasn't, didn't sit well. Maybe because I had a coupon that I received as a gift for a laser rejuvenation treatment that usually costs $395.00. The laser rejuvenation treatment lasted less than 5 minutes. It was supposed to be 15 min I checked. Needless to say I didn't see any changes. Imagine I had paid full price.... Disappointing. Not going back. read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. There is a high turnover rate with staff so communication between them is nonexistent. Unprofessional along with mediocre results. Please go elsewhere. read more

It was lovely to see Shannon in action. She made clients feel comfortable and went the extra mile to ensure that everyone had a personalized experience. read more

Dr. Laser is my go to for beauty needs. They're super clean. Great promotions ! And super friendly. I've done my underarms and lower legs here. Plus, they have Afterpay ! read more

Michelle and Shannon made this session very easy and convenient. Great customer service as they were very welcoming on my way in and out. Would highly recommend. read more

Katie helped me out today and I just wanted to say she made the experience so comfortable for me love coming here great spot

Yaz was great, she was very helpful and went above and beyond to help me make an appointment.

I went to the location in Manhattan Beach Thursday, March 28, and the lady at the front desk charged my card without my authorization for a service that was not provided. I went in for PRF in my undereyes and the front desk lady, I think her name is Lauren, told me that the nurse can fill my lips with PRF. I agreed for the additional price of $100. When the nurse came in to the room, she said she could not inject my lips because she wasnt trained to do it. Lauren ran my card and came in for me to sign the machine but I told her I was not getting the procedure since they couldn't perform it so I didnt need to pay. She said "I ran the card already I need your signature" then left the room and said we'd talk about it afterwards. After my procedure, I came to the front desk and she said I would hear from her manager for my refund. It has been 3 weeks and no refund. AND my main concern is that she somehow processed my card payment WITHOUT my signature and WITHOUT my permission. I emailed their dr.laser info contact before posting this review hoping to fix the problem, and they have yet to refund me due to needing an "accounting review". The front desk lady is the one that needs to be "reviewed" for thinking this is ok to do. Will not be returning, which makes me a little sad because I will miss Zhaneta's happy positive personality and facials! read more

The employees and nurses are always so amazing and great. Today Shannon and Joanna were on shift and I had such a pleasant experience as always. Thank you!!! read more

Always a pleasant experience here. Ellie was very helpful and efficient. The staff is very kind and my results are great!

What to expect: Average results for services Alot of sales pressure from the front desk Expect the front desk to try for hard to sell you something every time you come in. At their suggestion, I used PatientFi to fund my procedure. The front desk person told me it doesn't affect credit - it absolutely does, and shows on your credit report. I waited 20 minutes for my last appointment, and when the nurse came in, she told me she didn't know I was there waiting. At the end, she said "ok see you in 6 weeks. " .. if she'd bothered to look at my chart, she would have seen it was my last appointment. The place is fine overall. But there are better out there. This is also the only "medical spa" I've been to that has signs everywhere asking for you to tip your nurse. read more

As soon as they see that you are there with a groupon, they (Lauren) try their darndest to upsell you services and that is not a comfortable feeling! Also, their dollar tree decorations don't go with the upscale look they are striving for. Please go elsewhere! read more

I have been going to Dr Laser for about 10 years. I have purchased hair removal for both of my daughters, done prp and rejuniatinf facials. Evertone is always so kind and helpful when we go! I trust their expertise and feel raken care of whenever I get a service . Thank you Shannon and Nicole! read more

I went in last Friday for the last session of laser hair removal on my lower legs. The nurse asked me if I had any tattoos on my legs and I indicated that I had a little geometrical cat on my lower left ankle. As she was going around my left ankle, I jolted up because of the pain and noticed she went right over my tattoo. I didn't think much of it at first because I didn't realize it was going to completely ruin the ink in my tattoo. The last nurse I had before her ensured she put an applicator over my tattoo so it wouldn't get damaged. About 1-2 hours after leaving my appointment I noticed a raised bump almost like a blister forming and realized that I had been burned. Now it's day 5 and my tattoo looks completely ruined. I mean it was pretty ugly before this treatment, but now it's even worse! read more

Have done several types of service at this MB location. The LHR works, though it is an investment and takes lots of sessions (face it, there's no magic "one and done"treatment out there)...the 10-pack is the best value when they have a sale. The nurses are very professional and make you feel at ease for what can be an awkward treatment for guys. Zhaneta is awesome for ULTherapy and cool sculpt. And the front desk/manager, I believe her name is Lauren, keeps the place running well and was super helpful in explaining the pros/cons of treatments and in scheduling. Def recommend. read more

I had the technician Yvonne Gallarzo who was amazing! She was so helpful and my experience with her was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this location. read more

Amazing facial and rejuvenation with Jaqueline, Marygrace and Gaby! Look forward to it every month!

Nairi & Gabby are the best! Came in for a same day appointment and they took great care of me 10/10

The worst customer service ever. My mom and I have had issues after issues with this location all the time. For one, I'm tired of always trying to be up-sold on services. It gets exhausting. Secondly, I don't know how many times I've been cancelled on AND when I reschedule they "forget" to actually schedule me. Sometimes I call and I won't get any answer and when I'm lucky enough to, they're so rude. They're rude in person and over the phone. Today for example, my mom went in for her facials and they called her 30 mins before her appt to cancel. Unfortunately for us, sometimes it's a 45 minute commute there. She had her phone on do not disturb and arrived only to be told.. "We'll didn't you get our message?" No apologies or anything to try and reconcile/compensate. She tried asking for a refund or to speak to a manager and apparently "no manager on site" and she has to email for any type of refund. God forbid I try to reschedule 23 hours prior or it's a late charge fee but if they cancel on us or don't schedule us, it's no big deal we'll just reschedule you. Never plan to get any services here again. Would rather pay more for better service and results. Waste of time and money. read more

I originally went to Dr. Laser because I purchased a Groupon for hair removal and I'm now a consistent client. My first visit with Brandy was so quick and painless and her calm energy put me right at ease. I don't know why I wasted so much time and money waxing before! Alessandra at the front desk was so helpful and recommended me other packages and deals for anti-aging. I've since seen Brandy for micro needling with PRP and PRF and also filler and Botox. She is the best! This is a no-frills office but you will be treated promptly, courteously and professionally. I've referred so many friends now and Brandy and Alessandra are on speed dial! read more

Tattoo removal results have been minimal after 2 years. I get a new person each time and 1 of about every 5 of them check my chart/settings when they feel like it so it feels like they're just winging it. Lately they've canceled multiple appointments because the business doesn't have the same machine at every location. If you're gonna come here you have to be your own advocate and ask for the setting each time so you don't waste as much time as me. Update November 3, 2018 Went to LaserAway for a second opinion and learned so much more about tattoo removal than this place could ever tell me, from a nurse. I regret not having done so sooner. DrLaser initially had me come in every 6 weeks (A BIG NO NO) for treatment causing scarring. After coming here nearly 3 years they were just booking me whenever I wanted (every 8 weeks) and appeared clueless about the progress when I had questions about it. Little did I know, my skin was not being given enough time to recover in between sessions. Every skin type is different but mine is a 4 and i experienced hyper pigmentation, could it be from DrLaser's clueless technicians? Who knows. Who knows if they're even real nurses but that's a hard learned lesson for me and I hope to resume my treatment after 6 months recommended by LaserAway, they're REAL nurses! read more

dr LASER - After 23 sessions that I counted between 1/17/2016 to 9/10/18 - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Update: When I went back for my 2nd session I explained what happened at my 1st appointment and they attempted to make it right by crediting my 1st session and comping an extra session for me. After 10 months and 5 sessions on an all black tattoo, there is not even slight fading. Black is supposed to be the easiest color to treat. The last 2 sessions made me bleed, but didn't fade the tattoo AT ALL. It seems like a sales scam to me. Oh, you just need to buy more sessions and the full price sessions will magically work. I get that it takes multiple sessions, but if the first 5 do NOTHING, why would I buy any more??? read more

Phone/office staff very helpful in answering questions and scheduling. Nurses have all been very friendly and helpful!

I have been going to dr. Laser for a few years now and love it. Kathleen is super helpful and gets my appointments scheduled quickly. She shares any and all specials, so I know I am getting the best offers. Yen is great, she does my Botox and laser hair removal. She listens to what I want and doesn't over-due it. I highly recommend dr. Laser! read more

I have been coming to Dr. Laser in Manhattan Beach for several years always a great experience. The manager Lauren is amazing. She is kind, welcoming, and keeps everything running seamlessly. She is a huge asset for this location. The reason I came to Dr. Laser initially was for hair removal which was very successful, not having to shave my legs is amazing. I have also had other treatments as well with Zhanetta, she is amazing. I cannot say enough about how Zhanetta ensures clients get the most out of every treatment they get. I had the best facial of my life relaxing in addition to my skin feeling amazing when I left. Thank you Zhanetta. Zhanetta has changed the way my skin looks as well. I recently developed some hyperpigmentation (dark spots) under my eyes which I could not resolve for close to two years thanks to the amazing chemical peels Zhanetta gave me they are almost entirely gone. Thank you Lauren for telling me about the amazing chemical peels Dr.Laser offers and making me comfortable with the treatment. Zhanetta worked her magic again. read more

Had an awesome experience today getting lip filler with Brandy. She was so quick and it was virtually painless. I have no bruising at all so far - I usually bleed and bruise like crazy but I think she had a great hand. Also had a laser hair removal touch up - they have very fair prices. read more

Unprofessional Every time I went, there were missing nurses and new nurses i was not satisfied at all with my procedures they made false promises , pushy sales lady at front desk wanted me to add services that I clearly didn't need. read more

Service was excellent and my provider did a great job with making me feel comfortable even though a Brazilian laser treatment is a bit embarrassing. Trouble is don't be fooled. I bought the six-treatment package from Groupon and it is a waste of money. I am shaving just as much as ever before and ended my treatments at the end of fall 2021. I later learned that a package of six-treatments is not enough and you really need to purchase additional treatments to do the job. If you buy those outside of a Groupon package they end up being unaffordable at my budget and not the deal you think you are getting. I wasted a lot of money on laser treatments and should have saved the expenditure for razor blades. Don't buy a Groupon of six-treatments unless you are willing to buy more. Disappointed. :( read more

I've been here twice for a facial now and I honestly don't really care for this place. The facials are actually pretty decent, but the office is always a shit show. It took me 15 minutes just to check in and the front desk girl stares at you for awkward amounts of time. When I first met her she almost crushed my hand when she shook it. They constantly try to sell you on things too, which makes me really uncomfortable. This place needs to get itself together. UPDATE: Got a response from the "owner"... he says they try to uplift females with a "strong handshake" and he's sorry I don't feel the same way. What a bullsh*t excuse!! Sorry if I don't want my entire hand crushed by your incompetent staff! Definitely never coming back here and giving one star! read more

To start off on a lighter note ,my facial was great . She was awesome and did a great job and we had great conversation . Really took her time and did a great job with extractions . The front desk girl is a no for me . 1. Pretty rude. 2. Tried to push a package on me . 3. Then when I asked for change , flat out said no and then goes $20 is good because facials start at $95. ( Meanwhile , I know these places have petty cash or have money in the safe etc.) First and foremost , I've never have given a sh*tty tip because I know how the service industry is. I would never stiff a service even if they suck. So for someone to tell me how to tip doesn't fly with me . It sucks because I really liked my facial , but she put a bad taste in my mouth I would never go back . read more

For tattoo removal, find a real doctor. I would highly NOT recommend dr Laser. I've been going here for over 3 years and had 25-30 treatments and my tattoo is nowhere close to being gone. When I started my tattoo removal process 3 years ago, they offered unlimited treatments until your tattoo was removed. They no longer offer that package but make you but sell them individually or in bundles. What does that tell you? Dr Laser is not realistic and tell you what ever they can to sell you. I was told my tattoo would be gone in 6-8 treatments. I was told it would be totally gone, no shadow or any sign it was there. Now I am told i can keep coming back for the next 3 years or 30 years until it is gone because I'm grandfathered in. But absolutely no refund. I have lost any faith that dr Laser has the technology/ equipment to remove a tattoo with colors and fear I will just be left with an ugly blob and scar from their laser treatments. read more

dr LASER - After 3 years and 25+ treatments! This does not work. - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I bought the groupon deal, 2 facials for $68. I made an appointment for myself and my boyfriends mother. We got there and did the usual check ins and I was taken in at the time of my appointment. Ines was my person and she was amazing! She explained everything step by step as she was doing it and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. She gave me a lot of good suggestions for my acne ridden face and I love that she wasn't afraid to really pop my pimples either. My boyfriends mother also got Ines as her esthetician and said she did an amazing job as well. If I lived in the area I would definitely come back for the Hollywood peel, the prices are a bit high but seeing is believing.. and all of the women that work in this office have amazingly glowing skin. Check it out ladies! And with the groupon offers, why not? You won't be disappointed. Update: I have super sensitive skin and when I walked out of the appointment my face wasn't even pink! This morning my face is super soft and starting to have a glow. read more

I found Dr. Laser through Living Social in 2018. At first, I really didn't like the business, but they have grown on me and I have been steadily going to them for the past two years. I have done micro-needling, laser hair removal, laser skin rejuv facials, and PRP injections. I have not done botox/dysport or fillers at DrLaser as I get that done elsewhere because I believe that an MD should really be the one who does it, but that is just my personal preference. I really love Brandy who is one of the nurses at the MB location. She is awesome and so professional. Everyone here is very friendly. I have noticed that they will not be friendly if you are rude, so try to be courteous, DUH! In regards to A/C...I always find myself sitting in a pool of my own sweat while waiting to be called back when the weather gets warmer. I wish they weren't so stingy with the thermostat. Keep an eye out for specials or ask when you are at the clinic. I feel like they are always willing to put together packages for you at a favorable price. As mentioned above, the staff is friendly, but I have a few reservations about the some of front office's staff professionalism, management skills, and ethics. They are always very pushing with selling every time you come in for an appointment and sometimes they get so busy with checking people in and out that you end of waiting past your appointment time. Sometimes they tell you that your appointment as at one time, but then it will change without your knowledge. Could be a software glitch? Booking or rescheduling appointments can sometimes be difficult as there is only one phone number for all locations and they can get very busy and it goes to voicemail about 50% of the time. I know they use Onpatient for their appointment management system, perhaps allow patients to make, change, or cancel their appointments online? read more

The nurses here are great, but geez the front office continues to struggle. I was in years ago, they couldn't get it together. I was in a month ago, she was rude and dismissive. I called a couple weeks ago, and she acted like she was doing me a favor coordinating an appointment. I prepaid for laser hair removal and if i hadn't, i would take my money elsewhere. There are plenty of med spas who understand how to treat people with grace. read more
