I had my first treatment today and felt like I knew both Marine and Narine for years. They are so incredibly professional and kind so you feel at home and also like you are going to a very skilled expert at their craft. I have been wanting to do hair removal forever and I was very reluctant but they made me feel so comfortable and in excellent hands. If you are thinking of this - don't hesitate; make your appointment today :) read more

Amazing place with fantastic service from Marine and Narine. They are the sweetest! They make sure you get the best quality treatment for your areas of concern. I love my results for my face and back. I even moved of out of state but kept coming back each month because I love them! Highly recommend coming here for your laser hair removal treatments. read more

I've gotten laser hair removal here and the results have been amazing but most importantly the ladies here are so welcoming, kind, friendly! I've always felt comfortable and she does such a great job. I definitely would recommend this place for anyone looking for more permanent hair removal (: thank you read more

I've been going to Hot Spot for years and I always feel well taken care of. This business is run by two sisters and is a small operation which allows them to give their full attention to each client. The space is always extremely clean and comfortable and they make you feel very welcomed. It's also a very convenient location with a private parking lot attached to the building and street parking out front. I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try. The attention to each client and the time and care put into your appointment isn't common in much larger chains. read more

Marine and Narine are still great! I took my daughter to take care of other areas that hasn't been treated before. My daughter has not needed any additional touch up for the other areas that was treated before after so many years. Extremely satisfied with the great results! This is the only place to go to have your unwanted hairs laser off permanently and done properly. read more

If you are serious about hair removal, this is the place to go, even if you need to travel to get here. They have more than a decade of experience doing one thing - laser hair removal - and they have fair prices, no gimmicks, no contracts, and awesome results. Great communication, friendly service, and gracious personalized service! I'm extremely pleased, and I highly recommend Hot Spot Laser to anyone who wants freedom from unwanted hair! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Hot Spot Laser in Pasadena is truly a gem when it comes to laser hair removal. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and professional, making the whole experience comfortable. Marine runs the shop with such care and attention to detail, and Narine, the nurse who does the treatments, is not only skilled but also kind and attentive throughout the process. The energy in the space is positive and uplifting, which makes each visit something to look forward to. I've been so impressed by the quality of service and the amazing results I've seen from the laser hair removal--it really works and leaves me feeling more confident. The environment is clean, modern, and relaxing, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the experience. I can honestly say that I love coming here and would recommend Hot Spot Laser to anyone looking for great results and a place where you feel taken care of. read more

Marine and Narine are the sweetest! Marine always does her best to get me in, even with short notice. And Narine is the only one I trust to do my laser treatments, especially with the delicate bikini area. She's ultra professional, precise, and a blast to talk to. 10/10 recommend! read more

I love these ladies! 10/10 recommend I'm always in and out the door in a flash Can't wait to share my before and after photos read more

If you're looking to remove unwanted hair, LOOK NO FURTHER. Narine and Marine are working miracles and permanently zapping away all those hairs that have plagued me for YEARS (even after having regular laser hair appointments at other places). They're super effective, super freaking sweet, and their prices are more than fair. I can always count on them to greet me with a smile, and make me crack up (even while being zapped). I'm amazed and delighted at the results I've had, thanks to these goddesses. Seriously, just go. They're the best!! read more

So it's been a few months since my last review.. I just did my 4th and 5th session today :) I had my face and underarms..and brazilian. By end of March I shall be done :) You'll see results right away. After 2nd or 3rd session, you will see no hair growing back. Or at least very very little.. I wished they had a website so everyone can check out their services and prices. (then again, they are so busy. They hardly have any appointments available) But thanks to Yelp! I found this place and I hope everyone else that has been here will rate them. They are super busy, so always book future appointments! I always book 2 appointments in advance :) The girls are the greatest! I can't say enough on how SWEET they truly are! So sweet I must hug them each time I see them :) read more

Hot Spot Laser Center - Entrance - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

I found Hot Spot Laser through yelp. It's my first and only laser center I've been to based on the positive reviews and I have the same sentiments as everyone else. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in. It's more than just customer and merchant, you talk, get to know one another. The wait time is very short, if you have questions, they are all answered. They explain the process from start to finish and give you an idea of what to expect and when. I am really happy with my experience. 5 starts all around. read more

There aren't enough words to describe the HIGH-QUALITY service I've received here every single time. Narine & Marine are my GALS when it comes to saying sianara to all unwanted hairs. I've been here a dozen times to go section by section to permanently laser off hair. PERMANENTLY gone, I'm not exaggerating in the least bit. For example, I had my underarms done three years ago and my hair is GONE, haven't seen it since. It only took 6 sessions for me, but of course every body is different. At one point I went to a different laser place for 8 months and I DID NOT see the results I had at Hot Spot Laser. The pricing has always been worth it for me especially since that experience. I KNOW the sections will stay permanently clean - I've literally never been so confident like this in a service. I'm so proud of these girls, so happy that my friend led me to come here. read more

Absolutely wonderful! These ladies understand customer service and creating a relationship with their clients. I first got laser hair removal at this location over ten years ago and just went back this year, the ladies are still kicking ass. 100 times recommend! read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. If you value excellent service, clear communication and warm and welcoming customer service by a women owned business, this is for you. Not to mention, the pricing is so fair! I am NOT exaggerating when I say I called a chain laser place on Lake Ave and it was 4x the price AND they wanted to sell me 10 sessions. Outrageous. This place is the best!!! Wish I knew about them years ago. read more

Excellent results that are truly life changing, but also Marine and Narine are the kindest, most delightful people. Highly recommend.

I am glad I found these lovely ladies on yelp! The 5 stars and reviews don't do justice to this business! Very professional, thorough and CLEAN! Marine and Narine have created such a safe and welcoming environment! My results have been amazing and long lasting. They will treat you like family and explain every detail until you feel comfortable! Strongly recommended!!! read more

Thankful for these ladies and the amazing work they do. Narine and Marine are very thoughtful, honest, thorough, and professional in their work and demeanor. The results that have yielded from coming here are exactly what I've been hoping for. I'm hispanic with thick hair and prior to finding HSLC, other laser treatments were not as effective. If you're looking for long term results, I'd recommend coming here. read more

I just realized it's been 7 years since I came to hotspot and just had to update my review because all my treated areas are STILL hairless/flawless (underarms, lower legs, bikini). I owe that all to Narine and Marine! I tell all my girlfriends looking to do hair removal to come here because you're going to get the best technique, pricing, and service at Hot Spot, hands down. I still can't believe I haven't needed a touch up all these years (I almost wish I needed one so I could see the sisters again). read more

I told everyone laser hair removal was the BEST investment ever! I tried electrolysis for at least 8 months and it was painfully not working. Finally, I decided to try laser hair removal and so happy I did. I finished all of my sessions with Hot Spot Laser in 2012. I didn't touch the razor for at least 2 full years. After that I would say about 1%-4% of hair grew back but I could deal with it. I have light skin with dark hair. I understand that laser won't work on some people but it worked for me! But you should always do your own research about laser first so you know what you're getting into. Like others said: 1) Commitment, you need to come back when they tell you to. I believe the norm is 6 sessions (7 if needed). 2) Stay away from tanning. 3) The pain is temporary, ask for squishy stress ball. You'll forget about the pain before you drive away. I went back for my first touch-up last weekend (5 years later!). They said overall less than 4% of hair grew back. No doubt, they provided an excellent service. I love these ladies!!! They are very, very busy, so you should call at least a month ahead :) Parking: easy free street parking. read more

These ladies are professional and friendly. I've been to several local laser spots and they dial down the power so it's cheaper but you go way more. This won't happen here. This is the only place I've gotten large scale permanent results. I also trust them and they are very honest so you do not waste your time or money. I will continue to go here to reach my hair free goals and I will continue to recommend everyone I know to them read more

200% recommend! I have done everything between shaving, waxing, nair....nothing beats laser with these ladies. It has been over 9 years and my hair still hasn't grown back. I still go for new areas and the two sisters make me feel like family. I met with the nurse practitioner, and then with Narine who went over all the details of what I should and shouldn't do while lasering. It was worth every penny, and has saved me from countless hours wasted dealing with unwanted hair or the maintenance and pain! read more

I can't say anything about their laser services as I never got to book an appointment. The person I spoke to on the phone was either pushy or rude, I can't tell, but it just put me off completely. Maybe they have so many clients that they don't give a damn, whatevs. read more

Wonderful women, good experience, very pricey! Marine and Narine are SO SO lovely. I had my first laser experience when I was in high school with them and they made me feel incredibly comfortable. The Laser: Snapping rubberband just like everyone says! Pretty painful, I held a stressball, was pretty red, and needed a break every once in a while. It was on my bikini line which is extra sensitive but I recently tried a new lasor salon and it was almost painless! I'll have to see if the results are the same but most people say they are. As great of an experience I had back then, I chose not to return because the prices are double their competitors which is a big downfall. My mom and I are both trying a new place but if they ever drop the prices we'll probably be back! read more

This is a really great place. I should really wait until I'm finished getting lasered but I cant!!! im telling you, in a city where you've gotta know where to go, THIS IS WHERE YOU GO FOR LAZER. Marnie and Narnie are skilled and sososo thorough. they'll zap every hair during appointments. ive gotten my brazilian, happy trail, armpits, and full legs each done once and even after just one treatment I can see a huge difference. especially on my legs. the treatment is pricey, but for how much laser runs these ladies are actually very, very reasonable. (full legs 400, brazilian a little under 200, pits 50 per session) I'll be coming back ASAP, whenever i've got a few hundo to drop ;) read more

If you are always waxing/shaving/doing anything to constantly remove thick hair off of your body/face, stop immediately! You need to visit Hot Spot Laser and get laser hair removal, but more specifically with these two fabulous sisters. They work directly from their heart, are not pushed by money, and provide affordable business. I am an Indian woman who had stubborn thick dark hair everywhere on my body and face. After just one treatment with Narine, I saw a world of difference. She is so thorough in lasering the area you want, and makes sure that not one hair stays. My hair was fine, barely noticeable, and after a few treatments, nonexistent! When I lived in Memphis and Chicago, I experienced two different laser corporate companies. They were way too expensive, and not thorough, at all.. To me, they wanted me in and out. With Narine and Marine, they genuinely care about me as a client, and through the years I've known them, they've become my friends! This is the only Yelp review I've ever written because that's how incredibly thankful I am to these two incredible people. They made a world of difference with me, and I hope they can with you too! read more

As someone who felt violated by the pain caused by bikini waxing, I was super nervous to try laser hair removal since I had heard horror stories about it. But the prospect of no more waxing or shaving, was enough for me to trust the other yelpers and try Hot Spot. Narine saw how nervous I was and was very sensitive to my comfort. I was immediately relieved when she got started because the pain was nothing like I was anticipating. It basically felt like someone was pulling my hair (that wasn't there). Both Narine and her sister Marie are professional yet personable, which is exactly what you want for this type of service. Their prices are reasonable too - $130/visit times 6 or so visits for basically permanent hair removal is a bargain to me. read more

I wish I could give Hot Spot 10 stars!!! This place has been an absolute life-saver for me. As a total "body-hair-hater," I would shave my arms and legs everyday, and I could not be happier that I never have to shave at all now! Before moving to Pasadena, I had tried a few other places but never got results (plus the machines they used were super painful), and in my first session, much of my hair stopped growing back and I needed no numbing cream at all! I did full arms and legs, underarms, as well as brazilian. I only wish I had found Hot Spot sooner and not wasted time and money on so many other places! I researched many laser machines, and their machine was reviewed as the best, which led me to go to them in the first place. I had found more expensive places with not as good machines, as well as slightly cheaper places that had reviews of people saying they were scarred with pigmentation for life! BELIEVE me, I researched and compared places and prices for months, and I am so glad I found Hot Spot. It's also awesome because they referred me to Hot Heads salon next door, which is now the only salon I go to, so I can go get my hair done at the same time! I COMPLETELY, 100% trust both Marine and Narine! They truly care about their clients, and I look forward to my appointments because they always make me feel welcomed (and give me some good "therapy" sessions while doing my treatment.) They are not only professional, but warm, truly care about my well-being, always give me a good laugh, and are just the most wonderful people! It is DEFINITELY worth the money to now have my body free of hair! It's saved me 30 minutes of shaving everyday, and has just made me feel so much more confident about my body. It is worth the money because it's an investment that is permanent! Thank you so much Marine and Narine! Love you guys! read more

I went to this place after reading the other reviews on Yelp and I'm so glad I did. They were courteous, on time (BIG with me), took the time to explain everything and were very reasonably priced. The place was VERY busy and everyone else was a repeat customer so their other clients are obviously happy with them, too. I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

I just read Zaida Z's review and could not disagree more. I have dark skin and my results have been amazing. I think what Zaida has missed is that you have to be consistent. Marine and Narine are amazing and they are all about results. I have never met business people with such integrity. I am so happy to have found them. I live no where near this place, but am happy to commute. Some things are just worth it. read more

I just realized that I never left a review for these legends. Let me explain- I have always had a frustrating relationship with my hair. With naturally pale skin and dark, coarse hair it always visually stuck out. I'd shave my underarms and legs and minutes later have a 5 o clock shadow. It was depressing and I soon embarked on a ton of treatments which were costly and unsuccessful or just a pain (waxing). It has now been about 2 1/2 years since I completed my treatments with these lovely ladies and I want to tell you - LIFECHANGING! My body is still silky smooth and I can barely remember what it's like to have stubble or hair removal issues. These girls are also sensitive and fun. I really enjoyed their company and eventually let go of the awkwardness of having people regularly laser my nether region (haha). Run, don't walk! No need to plan for beach days any longer! read more

Update review!! Just went back after 4 years of hairless bliss. I needed a touch up. They make me feel like old friends. I love coming here. Nothing but professional girls with a lot of heart. I had just two hairs under my arms and my legs continue to be hairless. Needed just a bikini touch up. read more

The girls here know what they're doing. The procedure's quick but definitely not painless. What gets me really isn't the pain but the smell. Yup, smells like singed hair....or burning flesh even. It's quite disturbing if you really stop to think about it. Oh oh, it smells like the dentist when they start drilling your teeth. *shudders* But yeah, the girls are amazing. They're super efficient and quick about things. Got my upper lip area done. I was literally in and out of there in like 5 minutes. I've gone to 2 treatments so far. Yay! 4 more to go. read more

Amazing service, quick affordable and excellent results! I could not be happier.

Hot Spot Laser was recommended by my boss. Last year, Feb 2014 I had finished my last 5th session for the under arm. I got pregnant on March 2014 so I was not able to do any touch-up until yesterday. That is appx 21 months due to preggo & breastfeeding. Since then the hair only came back 10%!!! You hear rumors that pregnancy will ruin your invested laser treatments,I myself was concerned. But thankfully the pregnancy did not affect my laser treatments. Got my legs done Today also. This was a big deal for me because in the past I was burnt by a popular laser place in Glendale while taking "advantage" of their killer promotional deals. You really get what you pay for :( Don't be cheap when it comes to your skin! Tough lesson learned for me. I am glad I found these girls. read more

This place is the amazing!!!!! My good friend referred me here because I was tired of shaving my underarms. She told me that it was the best place to go and the price was worth it. So I tried it and sure enough I loved it. I saw results right after my first session. Yes, it's a bit painful but worth it. I wish I had done this a long time :( They are always very very busy. So make an appointment now. I've already made my appointments for next year (I'm having other things done). read more

These girls are nice, knowledgeable, and most important of all, know what they are doing! I avoided laser for so long, even though I badly wanted it, because I was worried I would get a botched job and be disfigured for life (dramatic I know, but it happens). I also have darker skin being Indian so I was especially worried about discoloration. I went to see Hot Spot upon a referral from a coworker, and I have not been disappointed. They have never messed up and have never raised their prices. The results on my face is that my skin is hairless, smooth, and even my minor breakouts are reduced. And the freedom of being able to put on a bikini any time and not have to worry about waxing has been the best part of my laser down under. Appointments are difficult to come by, so make them well in advance. REAL TALK: It will take several sessions (I have been going for years), especially if you have thick hair so be patient. I am happy with my results and happy with the service :) read more

Marine & Narine are exceptional! A coworker of mine recommended Hot Spot Laser to me. I've had 2 treatments so far on my underarms and found them to be thorough and thoughtful. This place is truly a gem among laser hair removal establishments. The cost is by area. I paid $50. for my underarms each session. Recommended sessions are typically 6, but it can vary on the person anywhere from 5-10. These girls go over everything with each client personally, which was refreshingly warm, not clinical. I recently bought into a Groupon for another Laser Center and I feel like I am cheating. First appointment for bikini line was so quick and not thorough. I'm shaking my head, cursing the age old adage "you get what you pay for." Will never stray from Hot Spot again. read more

I love coming here as they are so nice and funny, making hair removal less painful lol .I will refer to all my friends.

Marine and Narine rule! They are super professional and offer a great service. I've had laser treatments in the past that were completely ineffective but Hot Spot really delivered the results I'd been hoping for. Although I am olive complected, it didn't seem to be an issue for me. I think the more melanin you have, the more treatments you may need but I still noticed a big difference after just one treatment. Bottom line: These ladies offer the best results at the best prices. They are booked weeks in advance so if you've been meaning to try laser, give them a call ASAP. read more
