I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional service and products provided by Hugh at his small business. From the moment I walked in with a last-minute request for a personalized gift, he went above and beyond to ensure that not only was I satisfied, but that the end result was exceptional. I had previously purchased a personalized product on Etsy that was not up to my expectations and would not be resolved in time. I was in a bit of a panic, but Hugh was able to ease my worries. He took the time to listen to my request when I brought in an image for him to use as a guide. Despite my tight deadline, he was able to etch the glass on the spot and made sure to get my approval on the design before proceeding. What impressed me the most was when Hugh brought me to his engraver and allowed me to review the software code before he continued with the etching. This level of attention to detail and customer involvement is truly rare and speaks volumes about the pride he takes in his work. This entire process only take about 30 minutes, and it also saved me from having to make an additional trip to La Jolla to pick up the gift. As someone who lives in Point Loma, this was greatly appreciated. I am amazed by the exceptional service and quality of work provided by Hugh. It's no surprise that his business has not only survived but thrived in a competitive industry. I highly recommend Hugh and his business to anyone in need of personalized gifts or engraving services. He truly goes above and beyond for his customers and it shows in the results. read more

I've been having issues with my son constantly losing his Hydro Flask. Instead of just putting stickers of his favorite cartoon characters on it again, we decided to try something different -- engraving his name directly on the bottle. We figured that would make it less likely for someone to keep it if found, and more likely to have it returned. I'm so glad we did, because the engraving came out even better than I expected! I called Hugh in the morning, sent him what I wanted, and we picked a time that worked for both of us. When I arrived, the whole process took less than 30 minutes -- quick, easy, and professional. The result looks amazing, and I know my son is going to love it. Thank you, Hugh, for making everything so smooth and stress-free. I'll definitely be coming back to get more items engraved in the future! read more

I can't say enough good things about Hugh and HD Laser! I reached out just a few days before the weekend with an urgent request for three awards, including design, materials, and engraving. Several other local award shops turned me down due to the last-minute nature of my request. However, Hugh responded quickly and was incredibly kind. He did an amazing job on the awards and completed the project before the weekend ended so I could pick them up on my day off. The price he charged was very reasonable, especially considering the rush job. When I picked up the awards, the shop was so welcoming, clean, and conveniently located. I will definitely use HD Laser for any future engraving needs! read more

I'm disappointed with the lack of professionalism I experienced. I initially reached out on Monday and spoke with Hugh regarding the details of a job I needed completed. We agreed to meet on Wednesday at noon. However, leading up to our scheduled meeting, I attempted to contact him via text, phone, and email, but received no response. When I arrived on Wednesday, I was informed by his colleague that Hugh was not working that day and is only available on Mondays and Tuesdays--contradicting the arrangement we had made. This lack of communication and follow-through was both inconvenient and unprofessional. I hope this issue can be addressed to prevent similar situations in the future. read more

This was an amazing experience! Hugh the owner accommodated all of my requests, was able to use the company logo and designed the images. He also provided resources for where to buy the products that were great quality and affordable for the designs to be engraved. I was pleased the laser was capable of doing metals and wood; not to mention how quickly the turnaround time was. I could not be more happy with the quality and outcome! I'm recommending that our family business partner with him for future projects. I highly recommend this company! read more
