When I was receiving service (laser hair removal) it was great. Unfortunately this location has closed and apparently is under new ownership according the Better Business Bureau complaint I have opened. They will not advise who the new owners are, who now has my protected health information, and will not refund or return any phone calls (either voicemails or calls placed during what are supposedly their open hours). This location is no longer ideal image and is closed permanently. read more

I have been very pleased with the staff that handles all the procedures including Ashley the from desk girl who is amazing she is always will to help with apts, financing, and anything to make your experience that much better. Being the first person who greets you is very welcoming. Christine read more

Amanda from Ideal Image Buffalo did a fantastic job with my lip injections! She was super informative and patient. She listened to what I wanted and understood it completely. She got the shape and size PERFECT, it was just like my inspiration photo. read more

Ideal Image Buffalo - My new lips (before on top, after on bottom) - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Amherst, New York

Best and very gentle the hair decreases fast after treatment so I recommend ideal image

Should have came here first because google has them highly rated I had made an appointment for lip filler based on the feb sale, which I was told would be honored. They had to reschedule my appointment at which time i was told no they would not honor the price then I cancelled. They called me right back because they were able to get the price down but I had to pay immediately, fine. Day of appointment they start asking about things that would preclude me from treatment, none of which I was told about. I then required a medical clearance again I wasn't told about and why wouldn't they do that upfront? I was not medically cleared so they said I could get a refund the "office manager" put through the request and it would take "10 days to hit my account", it has now been 16 BUSINESS days 22 calendar days and no refund. Called yesterday "no it take 10 days for the billing department to approve the refund, then 10 days for it to hit your account" but it has even been approved for refund yet. This isn't difficult, I paid for a service, your company refused me that service, Give Me My Money Back. What a shitty experience, this place is a joke. read more

I had my 3rd or so cool sculpting sesh and it was great. Already seeing results even though it can take up to 3 months for full-effect. The technician, Megan is knowledeable and kind and I have full faith in her abilities. Try it out! read more

I do NOT recommend Ideal Image. Very unhappy. They have no problem selling the packages up front but do not have appointments available to make. You can't book past a 7 day window. They are oversold with not enough staff to accommodate the regular customers and the lifetime guarantee customers. I wish I would have supported a local company and not corporate that only cares about the $ and not the customer. read more

I inquired online and they called me in for cool sculpting. Was told I would only need one treatment. Cost 1050. Didn't see an improvement so I called to purchase another, and they said it would be 1800 with a chunk off as a special, and that I couldn't purchase just one session and can only sell 2. I said why did they sell me one in November, she said they shouldn't have... convenient right? I could have bought 2 in November and saved money, but since they messed up I have to buy 3? Very disappointed. Save your money, or make sure you know all the ins and outs before you do! They messaged me on here that they would reach out weeks ago... and never did! Lol unreal read more

I came here for a lip consult (Rejuviderm). I knew nothing about injections and the staff was professional and not pushy. I am still up in the air, as they do not offer half syringes at this establishment. However, for $600 for a full, they do offer to save the rest for you. I was pleased with the customer service, the information, and not being backed into a corner. I was also offered the option to further speak to a nurse. If I do end up pulling the trigger, it will be here. I might wait for a special if that ever comes up. But overall, a great experience and put my anxiety at ease. Update: I have since had the injections and really was pleased with the service. You are medically cleared via Skype with a PA before anything starts and you are talked through the entire process. I enjoyed that my RN doing my procedure was training someone because that meant I actually had an extra set of eyes on me for my procedure. I looked far less wild than I thought I would upon the procedure being over, and am already pleased with my results. The customer care here is really more than I expected and with that, I will return either for more Rejuviderm or other experiences now that I know how their attention to detail is. read more

How this place is still in business is beyond me. I had ultherapy, ($1,100) and it did not work at all. They took pictures and told me to call customer service. Customer service told me they don't handle this. Carolynn at the Amherst location said that my photos didn't come out and then I needed to come back in but they couldn't schedule me for two months out. Once they have your money, they care about nothing else. They are unsympathetic!!! They will take your money for services they do not work. read more

I have had such a great experience here, their staff is fun to work with and very respectful and knowledgeable. I would recommend for laser hair removal, their lasers are better than most other places. Stick with the process and you will see results and they are reasonably priced. read more

I purchased a bbl package and scheduled my first two appointments right away to get the evening and Saturday appointments I need. That plan went south after my first appointment! Employees leaving, no one trained on the bbl machine the excuses are endless. AND I'm not happy with my results. The pictures showed flawless complexions after the series of treatments. I wasn't expecting flawless but I was hoping for dramatic improvement which hasn't happened. I have two more treatments to go and can't get an appointment at a convenient time. I'd give up if it didn't cost so much . . . and of course you pay for all your sessions up front. read more

I recently got my lips done here and I love it! The workers are very nice and my nurse, Erin, is a sweet heart! I would love to come back to this place and continue with their services. At the start of the appointment they greeted me and I just had to answer a few questions about my health. They put numbing cream on me and it was smooth sailing for me! Erin was very professional and did such a great job on my lips I can't stop looking at them! I highly recommend this place. They are friendly and STERILE! Social distancing is executed and I couldn't be more happier with the end results. read more

I would %100 not recommend getting lip filler here, it was my first time and I left with bumpy lips and the only way to "fix" it was to add another $600 syringe. So in total 1200 for results that didn't last and I didn't like. read more

I have been getting laser hair removal from ideal image for two years now and after covid I understand it was hard to get everything re scheduled but they continue to book new clients and are not scheduling the existing clients. With laser hair removal it's time sensitive and my appointments NEED to be 8 weeks apart. My last 4 appointments were 8 months, 4 month, 5 months and now again 4 months. My hair is growing back thick and I paid 10,000 dollars for this to work and they don't seem to care at all because they already got my money. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else that isn't so corporate. read more

I have had several appointments for dermal fillers this year, all that have had to be rescheduled. First reschedule was my appointment had been booked incorrectly. Second time was covid vaccine. 3rd a dental cleaning, and now a tetanus shot. I began this process in February, just rescheduled again and can't get in until October! I have requested my money back because you have to pre-pay for all services. I was told I have to speak to customer service, called the number and have been on hold for over 30 minutes. I would just like my money back please!!!! read more

I went for Laser Hair removal and decided to do the EZ Pay. They double charged me for the down payment on the EZ Pay, then are trying to beat around the bush on giving me a refund saying they don't have the payment records and I have to talk to someone in corporate. When you call corporate, it just sends you to the help desk that told me I have to talk to corporate. I contacted my bank and am disputing the charge. I'm done with this place. Not to mention they're so overbooked that they can't get you in for 3 months. Only positive is the staff at the clinic itself are very nice. Just go to Milan or ANYWHERE but here. read more

I called today to get my next 25 units of Botox they told me it was expired i know it's been like 2year but with COVID and everything else going on I was not aware that it could expired and paid for the whole thing up fronteven though I repeated ask the gjirls if it . Expired because the wedding was like a year away repeatedly I was told it didn't expired never ever will I recommend u thank for screwing me out 250 dollar . read more

I had taken laser hair removal service for my face right before the pandemic hit. I took a couple sessions that year and then bam! The clinic was closed due to covid (which is valid) but even after re-opening they couldn't schedule my appointments for nearly 3 months. They were always overbooked and unable to give me timely appointments. Recently, when I tried to book my leftover sessions, they told me that my 16 month contract had expired and I'll have to co-pay in order to get my next set of sessions. Adding to that, I didn't really see much difference in my hair growth as well as the coarseness. Their laser was painful and ineffective. The staff was rude and was not ready to co-operate. With the amount of money I paid for it, this DEFINITELY NOT THE KIND OF SERVICE I WAS EXPECTING. Highly unprofessional and money mongers!Would definitely not recommend! read more

Run for the hills and don't give these people a penny. Constant cancellations, and impossible to schedule an appointment. Don't waste your money when there are so many other wonderful providers in the area who actually care about their clientele. read more

I had a consult this morning for laser hair removal! The staff was unbelievably helpful in answering all my questions! Very professional and made me feel comfortable! Would give more then 5 stars but I can't! I highly recommend you visit Ideal image for any services they provide! So glad I picked them! read more

The staff at this location is horrible. They only had one competent provider and she left. The one I had at my last appointment was rude from the start and kept worrying about losing her license if she strayed 2mm outside of the area she was supposed to be treating. I am half way through my treatments now and she asked me to pay extra in order to continue with the same service that I already paid for. I asked to speak with her superior and even she asked me to pay more. I did not pay more but I also got a half assed treatment for that reason. I'm appalled and disgusted with this institution and really regretting paying the full amount up front. Don't waste your money here. read more

I am not one to go on yelp or any social media site and say anything nasty or untrue about an establishment. BUT, for the first time, I feel like I've been lied to numerous times and do NOT want anyone else to feel the same way. *DO NOT GO TO IDEAL IMAGE FOR ANY TREATMENTS!!!!* First, back in July (when I paid for the entire package), I was told by the sales woman, that Cool sculpting helps Cellulite but it DOESN"T. Also, that 85 vials of Botox will last me at least 3+ treatments, including touchups (which wasn't even close to be correct.) Then, she told me that I will be receiving a call the next day to make my appointment.......they NEVER called. I waited 3 days and called myself. They weren't able to get me in for 3 weeks. which made me mad because the sale woman told me, I should be able to get in within the week (I had a wedding in 2 weeks and wanted to make sure I had the botox treatment before the wedding).......that didn't happen. I still stayed hopeful and though..... The Botox and cool sculpting treatment cost me $3,650 and Ideal Image had no problem taking my money that night without any cause for concern, only to be lied to many times. When I went in for the "banana rolls" treatment and Botox, the nurse told me that it doesn't help with cellulite. She actually said, that it may make the cellulite worse with cool sculpting but it will decrease the rolls. So, I agreed to have it done, since I was already there and waited 4 weeks for the appointment. After 3 months, she was correct. It didn't do anything for my cellulite and I see no difference. After my office visit for Botox and Cool sculpting my "Banana Rolls", the receptionist told me the only available date they have for Cool sculpting my outer thighs (which was an area that Cool sculpting could help me), was Saturday, Sept 5th (Labor day weekend.) If I didn't take that appointment, they wouldn't be able to get me in until mid October. So, I reluctantly took the 9:50am appointment, labor day weekend and didn't go away with my family for vacation. At, 8:30am THAT Saturday morning, I got a phone call from the Buffalo Ideal Image location, telling me that their nurse just called in sick and they had to cancel my appointment. This was extremely UNPROFESSIONAL and I was BEYOND LIVID!!!!! I understand that people get "sick" on holiday weekends, but this was completely unacceptable. I believe Ideal should have had another nurse as back up or accommodated me in some way. Wanting a refund was a WHOLE different debacle!!!!! Like I said, the Botox and 4 cool sculpting treatment cost me $3,650 and Ideal Image had no problem taking my money that night but then they disappear! When I asked for a refund of my outer thigh treatment, which I never received, they told me, I signed a contract and I would have to call cooperate. After calling at least 7-8 times, I spoke with a person who did refund me $2,000 but could take up to 45 days. Fine! Thank you! Now, I have approximately 30 vial of Botox left. I called to make an appointment with my remaining vials and they are booking out until JANUARY 21, 2021! What?!?!?! I paid for these treatments in July and I can't be seen until January 21st for a 15 min Botox treatment? I asked if there were any other locations that I could go to, in another city.....she said "no everyone is booked out 3 months too." I asked if I could come pick up the Vials and take them to my dermatologist, since I already paid for them and she said no. You ae not allowed to do that. This entire situation was horrible!!! I was lied to by Customer Service, made to wait for weeks for an appointment, just to have them cancel my appointment. I am warning anyone who wants to get Cool Sculpting or Botox, to go somewhere else. This was the WORST customer service I've ever dealt with and I will do my best to warn others who want to go there read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Let me start off with saying I've had success with ideal image in the past. This time is not the case. I went in to the office about 4 months ago. My mom, sister, and I went together. We purchased 2 syringes each of Juvederm. I called today to make the appointment. The receptionist told me unfortunately they are fully booked until December. When I asked to make an appointment, she said that the schedule was fully booked and I couldn't even get on the schedule to make a future appointment. Apparently now they have only 1 injector. (When I purchased they had several.)We were placed on a cancellation list but not on the schedule. I tried to get into the Rochester location. (Buffalo is a much more convenient location.)They informed me I could not even reserve a time slot with out signing an agreement to go to another office. Now being placed on a waiting list (at least 4 months out) and not being guaranteed a convenient appointment for all of us at this point we would just like to get our money refunded. read more

Tried getting an appointment for Botox and filler. Said I couldn't get in until January/February with no wait list! Will definitely go elsewhere. Unfortunate because I live so close read more

I 1000% do not recommend Ideal Image for laser hair removal services. I have spent $3600 on four different areas for laser hair removal and NONE of these areas responded to the treatment. I have dark brown hair on all locations that were treated and the laser hair removal was COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE and I am left with the same amount of hair as before I dropped $3600 on these treatments. Ideal Image FALSELY advertises successful laser hair removal for all hair types in multiple areas on their website. Do not believe this inaccurate information/sales pitch on their website. Unless you have black, coarse hair, laser hair removal at Ideal Image will not work. I contacted Ideal Image in MARCH of 2022 to address these failed treatments to see what could be done, and after almost a year of an open case and at least 4 or 5 customer service reps ghosting me and failing to do their jobs, there has still been nothing done. Despite my numerous efforts to move this case forward, I am repeatedly ignored by Ideal Image's customer service representatives. Ideal Image has stolen $3600 from me for failed laser hair removal treatments, despite their website advertising successful laser hair removal for all hair types. This is absolutely ridiculous and I am not sure how they get away with operating their business like this and fooling thousands of people into dropping thousands on a service that clearly does not work. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I am extremely disappointed that Ideal Image has failed to resolve this matter after I have spent thousands of dollars on laser hair removal services that were 100% ineffective in multiple areas. read more

Bought a $3,800 ultherepy package with bbl. In March 2020 and it's now August and still cannot get an appointment?? Haven't had one thing done yet!! Endless hours put on Hold ??? Why!! Seriously considering calling my attorney so I can get my money back!! So inconsiderate!! read more

I am a little disappointed. First, I tried to email them and didn't get a response. While having my consultation for Ultheropy I was told if I got the membership I would receive one free service. Great! I purchased the membership and went with the IPL photofacial as my free service. I was told I would see results immediately from the facial and then I could get one once a year for upkeep. While getting the facial I was told that was not true and I would need 3 to 5 to get the results I want and then once I got said results I could do it once a year for upkeep. Here is why it is such a problem. If the person who did the consultation with me would have been honest I would have been more than happy to purchase a facial package and add it to my interest-free financing. Apparently, after calling and feeling like I was getting the runaround, I now know they can not just add a facial package to my interest-free financing and I would have to pay the interest. What I would like is a facial package interest-free, but I can't get that because I would have to spend $1000 or more. At least that is what I was told. This doesn't seem fair to me. You would think because Ideal Image mislead me during my consultation they would do anything to make it right. That is not the case. When I called to try and work something out, the person I spoke to seemed to get irritated with me and after talking in circles couldn't do a thing to satisfy my needs. I'm hoping at some point things will work out and I will be able to give a good review, but as of right now I am not satisfied at all. It would be nice if I could call the location I get the services from and make an appointment, but that doesn't seem to be an option. read more

I purchased my package in summer 2019. The laser works great and I'm seeing results. My review is for how understaffed they are. Getting an appointment is terrible. 2 Apt's had to be cancelled during Covid (not their fault) but nobody ever called to rebook when things were opened again. They had no system in place for getting you back on the schedule. After at least 10 calls and an email to my sales person, I reached a receptionist. It took many weeks to get in for a makeup appointment This week they call a few hours before my apt to cancel this one. I understand employees get sick, but the next soonest apt on their cancellation is 2nd week of Dec. That's 11 weeks from now. It's insane. But I still seeing them advertise and sell the heck out of their services when they can't accommodate the customers they currently have. Beware your 18 month contract may expire before even 1/2 your appointments because they just can't get you in. read more

Ideal Image should be upfront and honest regarding their lack of appointments. I talked to a person in office who said I had to talk to someone who knew about pricing first. This person needed all payments (for membership and procedure) & contracts needed to be signed before an appointment could be made, however I had to wait for someone in Local office to call me back because this person didn't know their schedule. I already had an appointment for the procedure I wanted within 5 days at another place which I cancelled after signing membership. I ended up calling the local office back, left message then someone calls me back for me then to find out there are NO APPOINTMENTS UNTIL 2 months later! I have professional headshots that I needed to take and I would not have signed for a membership or cancelled my appointment with the other place for an appointment 2 months later. I am disappointed, angry and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IDEAL IMAGE. Update I was put on a cancellation list and was called back the day after posting review and offered an appointment within a few days. read more

I would highly recommend this office to anybody! My services had amazing results! Look and feel 10 years younger. Thank you to Melissa for all of your help! read more

I have the gift of being able to treat myself to means and ways of achieving a more youthful appearance and this could not be possible without the incredible team at the Buffalo office of Ideal Image. Their professionalism and expertise is outstanding. I have had treatments in Arizona, Beverly Hills, and San Francisco, CA and the cost, office experience and people can not even compare to the team at the Buffalo Office. They remind me when to come and see them and always with a deal in hand. The office and patient rooms are gorgeous and spotless and give you the feeling of being in a 5 star hotel and a state of the art surgical unit. And at the same time it feels like going to see family. They will always have my business and I am grateful for the youthful appearance they consistently deliver!!! I give them seven stars!!! Thank you Melissa, and everyone on the team!!!!! You make every visit a joy!!!! Sincerely, Hope Spadora read more

I just finished laser hair removal treatment of two areas and I am very pleased with the results. I was skeptical at first because I have dark skin tone but that was not an issue. The staff in reception area were always very friendly and professional. My RN Paige was very experienced and knowledgeable about laser settings for my skin tone and always made sure I was comfortable. Paige was always a pleasure to see. I'm glad I chose Ideal Image for my hair removal service. read more

I recently visited Ideal image and had Ultherapy done . My RN was Larissa . The entire staff from hello to goodbye were professional and really took in to account that I was spending a lot of money for a relatively uncomfortable procedure . The girls at the the front desk were very professional and not snooty (if you know what I mean) Larissa was kind and very experienced. She took time to talk with me and really get to know what I wanted and gave me her opinion . I feel as if we together were a team and I was the total benefactor. She was concerned about my comfort during the whole experience while keeping her eye on the outcome we agreed upon In this day and age of horrible customer service and not taking others into consideration due to being over scheduled ; it was refreshing to feel as if I mattered . There are a lot of options out there but for me Ideal Image in Amherst is the only one that makes sense for my elective procedures . And ultherapy is worth every penny. read more

Larissa is wonderful. I originally went in for hair removal on just 3 areas and ended up adding a 4th area. I have so much confidence in Larissa. I just finished my 3rd treatment and I am very pleased with my results so far. The procedure does sting a bit but nothing painful...( you can ask for a prescription for numbing cream if you want.) read more

I am a huge fan of ideal image! I just got my fourth treatment and I had to only shave once between treatments. I have been to other places to get laser hair removal treatment and never had the hair just fall out the way it did at ideal image. Also the staff is fabulous they are so nice. read more
