Jillian is the best and so knowledgeable on walking you through the process. She's intentional in her work and I'm always happy with my results. Outside of that, the entire front desk and admin team is incredible. You really can't beat the customer service here. thanks guys! read more

I had the best experience coming back after being away for 6 years. Nurse Brenda was everything I could ask for and MORE! She was sweet, funny, informative & and just a joy to be around. She made the whole appointment seamless & it really just left like it was a good one on one girl time sesh. I highly recommend this location & Nurse Brenda read more

I can only speak for the crew in Hillcrest - but they're all terrific! From the front desk to the various technicians, we have only had multiple positive experiences. Competitive pricing, and they use the latest technology. Highly recommend! read more

GO TO REVIVE in mission valley. They are professional and have a way better trained staff. This is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with in my life!! They couldn't get any worse even if they TRY! Do NOT go here!!! They will absolutely rip you off. No question about it. There are so many other places with better prices and service. I have even reached out to the regional manager. Check out the BBB reviews and trust pilot. If you have any issues with anything, they will not help. 6 weeks now and emailing a few times a week and calling. I actually have to file with SD courts now. read more

LaserAway - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

I have struggled with anxiety and insecurities about entering spaces that are staffed by the unreasonably beautiful, but these people have been so genuinely welcoming and impeccably professional for the YEARS I've been a patient--i cannot recommend them highly enough. If not for them, and their accessible $ packages, I would not feel as happy and confident about my face. I am truly grateful. I've attached a photo of what I assume I'd look like today if not for them: read more

These are my results after six excruciating painful Laser Tattoo removal sessions. So far I haven't seen any difference at all. I have four more sessions to go, but I'm very disheartened so far.

LaserAway - After 6 sessions. - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

LaserAway Hillcrest has been an incredible experience for both tattoo removal and GLP-1 treatments. The team is very knowledgeable. professional and welcoming which makes every visit easy and comfortable. Karoline K is one of the best nurses to work with. She explains everything clearly, checks in throughout the process, and makes each session feel stress free. Her patient care is outstanding even if she is not attending to your appointment (always makes it a priority to say Hi!). Austin and Andrea are always there to great me as I walk in with a welcoming hello and smile. They greet you with genuine friendliness and help set the tone for a great appointment from start to finish. read more

If I could give 10 stars to this Laseraway I would! Sarah helped me set up a package for laser hair removal for my legs, brazilian, and underarms. She was so kind and thorough for the entire process and explaining the different options that were available for me. I also purchased a hydrofacial that truly left my skin glowing! The laser hair removal was painless and so quick! My nurse was Karoline and she was beyond sweet and made me feel so comfortable during my entire treatment. I'm looking forward to continuing my treatments with them their med spa is super cute and clean! read more

Slow and steady wins the race right? Working with TLC and semiglutide injections to keep my weight off.

I'm following up with my previous review. I received a generic response to my review that has been used as a response to other 1 star reviews by them. I also was told someone will get back to me if they have access to my contact information. That has not happened yet after 3 weeks. I can guarantee LaserAway has access to my contact information as I have been receiving emails from them. This company does not value client relationship. I don't recommend them to my loved ones. I'm sorry my Christmas gift to my daughter turned out to be a waste. read more

Normally I have had a good experience with Laseraway at this location but BEWARE, do NOT be as stupid as me and sign up for the payment plans where they tell you it is interest free for 2 years!! The part they DONT tell you is that even if you have $0.01 left over from your balance 1 day after 2 years "promo period", that you'll be charged 20% interest on your entire INITIAL principal AKA the full amount of your initial purchase. I emailed to ask for further clarification after seeing the extra interest on my account and this person Candi Vastlik emailed back with no empathy, implying that it was my fault when this fact was not disclosed to me when I signed the paperwork (and it definitely was NOT disclosed to me), and copping an attitude the whole way. Either way, maybe try a different location, they only care about selling you packages and trying to lock you in to large payment plans over here. Learn from my mistake & avoid getting sucked into a terrible deal! read more

LaserAway - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the services I received at your San Diego branch. I purchased three treatment packages from your company, including: 1. Laser Hair Removal - 12 sessions 2. RF Microneedling - 6 sessions plus 1 "Triage" session 3. Botox treatments - 2 sessions Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the results. After completing all 12 laser hair removal sessions, I noticed no lasting or positive effect, and the hair has already grown back. The RF Microneedling treatments also showed no visible improvement in my skin -- not even 10%. I spent a considerable amount of money and time with the expectation of achieving meaningful results, but I did not receive what was promised. I also ask that your company refrain from advertising guaranteed or highly positive results, as my experience clearly demonstrates that such outcomes are not consistent. read more

After 6 sessions of laser removal for a tattoo on ring finger, there is ZERO change. Not at all pleased with the process or current status, especially after the amount of money paid. Additionally, the Botox sessions, though nice for a couple of weeks do not last very long. Paid over $2000 for laser removal and Botox for my friend and she's extremely disappointed read more

This place is a SCAM! You heard me right, A SCAM!!!! The front desk ladies live off commission, know how to sell, and prey on women's insecurities! I thought doing 13 Laser treatments would actually WORK! They turn down the intensity so you wont have lasting results. I spent thousands of dollars and got caught in the trap. I'm telling you it is not worth it!!! They lie about the results and they try to sell you on something new every time! I noticed results within the first year and they didn't last for long. Now I've spent thousands of dollars, going regularly to the appointments and nothing is better than when I started 4 years ago. Please save yourself the money, time, and embarrassment. Just shave or wax if don't want hair. Put yourself first and don't fall into the trap of paying monthly for years on end!!!!! read more

It's very clean and easily located in Hillcrest the staff is wonderful! I have gotten Botox here three times and the results last 8 months!!

They will not let me out of the agreement and I refuse to just hand them over $3k. Tried to reschedule my appointment today because I've been up all night with a sick kid and I'm a single mom. Austin who claims he's the manager says he's going to charge me a $50 fee. This on top of the $3k they're already scamming from me. Oh and this is after they changed my appt time without confirming with me or calling this past week. Austin has zero empathy and is truly an unkind person. I swear they find the worst people on earth to come and work for this place. Avoid this place! read more

I went for ten sessions to laser my happy trail and had zero results. The laser area looks exactly the same and when I notified the employee that the laser wasn't working, she shrugged it off and said to do more sessions. Also, the employees at the front would always ask me if I wanted to buy more packages, ranging from $700-$1000+. Girl, read the room. If I bought a $100 Groupon, do you think I'd want to spend $700 for more laser that isn't working? The front desk girls always had attitude as well. Overall experience was bad and I would not recommend anyone waste their money of this place! read more

This LaserAway is in Hillcrest, it's located across the street from Hash House A Go Go. I used to go to the LaserAway location in La Jolla a few years ago. I saw they had a groupon deal so I thought I'd give them a call to see if they had any appointments available soon, luckily they had an opening for that evening that I called in. The lady I spoke with on the phone said I didn't need to buy the groupon online and that they'd just honor the price for me. The place is nice and spacious. I told the nurse I had a new medication and she took the extra steps to make sure it wouldn't react with the laser treatment so she did a test spot on me. I like that she took extra precaution which made me feel reassured. The lasers they use here have a cooling fan which some other medspas I've been to don't have. I asked if I could use an ice pack before my laser treatment which I highly suggest if you're sensitive to pain. Overall a good location, I look forward to my follow up appointments. read more

Updating my review to say: before you consider this treatment, Google the term "paradoxical hypertrichosis" and do your research. Your sales rep won't explain this to you, so you need to make sure you are informed. I did not intend on continuing my laser treatment but was gifted several sessions as a gift and not wanting to waste the money, have now been getting laser for three years. The hair on my neck and cheeks is not only NOT reduced, it's growing back thicker and more full. Like I've previously stated, LaserAway loves to overpromise results, minimize risks, and explain away your very real concerns. If you don't believe me, search Internet forums and see the reputation this company has. read more

Update: 3rd session: Hurted the most so far, not sure why but it was too the point where I was even considering numbing cream for next session. But if you opt for numbing cream, they can only apply a little bit at a time so it would extend your amount of sessions. So instead of 1 session for underarms, brazilian and legs, it'd be 3 sessions. And ya gurl is trying to get this done and over with as soon as possible. So I'll just bear the pain next time...if anybody got tips to help, let me know read more

LaserAway - Inside reception area - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

I felt it was important to make a review on the amazing customer service and overall experience at this LaserAway in Hillcrest. I am always greeted in a kind manner and even if my appointment isn't right on time the staff is sure to let me know ahead of time. The nurses I have worked with have always been kind and listened to my wants and needs and I have never felt rushed through my service even though it is a quick and common appointment. I'm thankful to have found a place I enjoy and trust! read more

This place is an absolute scam. Paid for a Botox treatment I never received and they refused to refund me. I tried canceling because of a last minute work trip and was told they don't do refunds. An establishment that charges full price for a service to "hold your spot" is the biggest red flag. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

It's giving8g8g SCAM! If LaserAway makes an error on your account it is going to be a nightmare trying to get it corrected because apparently there are no supervisors at the LaserAway locations and they refuse to transfer you to the people who can actually correct issues. A LaserAway rep contacted me and got me all squared away with a promotional quote. I purchased 8 CoolSculpting applications but only 4 applications were loaded to my account. I noticed this a few months after I used 4 applications. I called on 4/16/2025 to get this corrected. It took much longer than it should have because the receipt erroneously showed only 4 applications which did NOT match my quote. On 4/16 | called in to the LaserAway Hillcrest location and the receptionist there told me that she saw the misalignment and that it would be taken care of next business day. A month later, I see that it's still not taken care of. On 5/22/2025 | called in again because the 4 applications were not showing on my account. Here's where it gets wild - I called the Hillcrest location, they passed me off to the La Mesa location. The La Mesa receptionist tells me that she can't fix it and she can't transfer me to someone who can fix it. She says that I can call ANY other location to get help. I call the Hillcrest location back and she legitimately tells me "the rep who quoted you this price is the only one who can fix it and she's on leave so you can call back in 2 months." Then she has the AUDACITY to offer another promotion to purchase 8 more applications LIKE WHAT!?!? After I have a good laugh she says that she can have the "directors" call me back tomorrow (5/23). Surprise, Surprise it's 6/02 and no call back or email reply from anyone. I did get a very unhelpful, empty Yelp message from yet another LaserAway employee who can have zero effect on my issue. read more

After receiving Botox and fillers from Laseraway for about 10 years, one of the nurses made a huge mistake. The injection was too close to my forehead. The Botox migrated down into my eye and after 3 days it started drooping. After a week it was completely closed. My eyelid is slowly lifting after 12 weeks. I had to wear sunglasses to work. I own my business and am the only employee so calling in sick was not an option. My eyelid is still sitting on the optic nerve which makes my visibility distorted. I shouldn't be driving and watching tv or reading a book is out too. I have run over 200 miles to help metabolize more quickly. Fast forward to the help I got from corporate. Zero. None. They apologized and offered a prescription eye drops that lifts your lid about a millimeter. Apraonidine to be exact. I'm always in need of a refill but now they won't return my calls. Ashley, the trainer for the nurses, is in charge of this case and she has ghosted me. My lawyers will be in touch. read more

Back again a year later to continue raving about LaserAway Hillcrest. The staff is so incredible, and I've really enjoyed every treatment I've gotten here. On top of the laser hair removal and hydra facials, I've now also done the clear + brilliant facial, which had stunning results, and just tried xeomin today! I can't wait to see the results once everything settles. The Laser Love premium membership is an excellent deal, if you're a regular customer I would highly recommend it. Special shoutouts to Annie who did my xeomin and my clear + brilliant facial, and Kirsten, Jenica, and Sydney who have all done laser hair removal for me. All the nurses here are so professional, friendly, and do an amazing job making sure you're comfortable and well-informed. Austin at the front desk is great, and Emily at the front desk remains my favorite, she is also so friendly and helpful :) read more

Amazing work. Love coming here!! They also make you feel so comfortable. Everyone there so nice . read more

I've been coming to this LaserAway location since 2020. I purchased a tattoo removal package and the process has been great, every time I go I receive the best treatment and the ladies are always so nice! I recently purchased another package for their Valentines Day promo which included one syringe of juvederm. That was my first time trying filler in my lip area (and in general) and I although I was aware of the possible side affects, I didn't know how MY reaction was going to be. I immediately returned back that same day after the procedure to make sure I wasn't haven't a harmful reaction and ended up getting a hematoma with MAJOR swelling. (Photo attached***) Couple of months later and the swelling has gone down significantly, lips are nice except I noticed they are bit asymmetrical which is why I decided to try the filler to begin with, asymmetry. Nobody told me about a 2 week follow after the initial procedure, just that if I experiencing ongoing swelling and bruising to call if I had any concerns. I was also under the impression they used the entire syringe. I called about my concern for asymmetry since the swelling and bruising subsided, still nothing about a follow up. I went in for a different service recently and mentioned my concern with the lip filler, the lady who assisted was very sweet and communicated with her manager to see if they were able to help me out. According to her manager, they weren't able to do anything at that point since I missed my "30 day post follow up" and that I'd have to purchase a new syringe. For all the money I've spent/ spending the least she could've done was honor me that and fix my damn lip! Not to mention the fact that when the receptionist was helping me that day I noticed the manager sitting right next to her and she didn't acknowledge me not once. I'm disappointed. The rest of the staff has been very nice so far. I just wish they could've helped me out for this one error that was made. But $500 for a new juvederm syringe for someone's mistake and a minor adjustment?!!! For that amount you could've just fixed it at no charge. read more

Unsure if it was just this location, however i received minimal results from an entire 8 sessions. Had someone been able to reach out after my concerns to the front desk to explain why/resolve the issue, I would have been more understanding. They were also unwilling to share the levels of laser used on me each session and ignored when I stated the laser was no longer being felt on my skin by the fourth session. If you want transparency and an understanding of the procedure being done on you, I would avoid going to a chain like this. read more

I had another great experience at Laser away. My visit today was for a hydro facial and it was everything and more! The staff was great as always and the facial itself was enjoyable and my skin felt amazing after! they even sent me home with a face mask! I highly recommend laser away and everything they have to offer read more

I just had my fourth treatment at the Hillcrest LaserAway location. Being a medium complexion black man, I did a lot of research before trusting LaserAway with my treatments. So far, I couldn't be happier with my decision. I had been waxing my chest and back for many, many years, and after just a couple of treatments, I no longer had to shave between the treatments. (I still shave the day of my laser appointments as recommended.) The treatments were going so well, I also decided to do the front of my neck below where I grow my beard. I have seen 4 different nurses during my visits there, and everyone has been friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would like to specifically call out Keirsten as she went above and beyond during my last visit. LaserAway definitely is not the cheapest, but like most things you get what you pay for, and I have been very satisfied with my purchase. read more

Great communication & transparency! Like that they offer payment plans. Spoke to someone on the phone and got all my questions answered. Safe facility & qualified professionals. read more

Long Long L O N G overdue review but after being stalked AGAIN via text messages, phone calls & emails I figure nows a good time to let potential customers know what their in for. This chain of business is only in it to get your money, make their commission and be done with it. After you've received your treatment there is ZERO follow up on their behalf. *********BUYER BEWARE********** This is incredibly important & I wish the sales rep would have told me this while she was pitching the package but she was so hyped up & it happened so fast that in the end I really regretted the whole transaction. I'm a care credit card holder & while we were discussing pricing & making the appointment she ran my card for $750 for 3 Diamond Glow Facials. I was shocked because she didn't state, "In order to book your appointment your not only committing to purchasing this package but you will be charged $750 today". There was no warning whatsoever just questions about my personal information including my address which I found peculiar but this is how they find your account & charge you. I was shook. I said "but I didn't commit to this what if I don't want to do it". She said "No refunds but we can transfer that payment into another treatment". Now this really pissed me off & I figured why bother fighting yet again another company who just took my money so they could get their commission. I even talked to one of the managers & she said "Yes that's our policy". Maybe this is why their filing bankruptcy In sales it's a known fact that it costs more to loose a customer than to keep one And that's exactly what happened to me. Never in my life of getting beauty treatment quotes have I ever been hounded so hard before & the worst part is once you come in for your 1st appt they can care less about your next ones. Last year I wanted to get some type of work done on my neck but according to my dermatologist I wasn't a good candidate for thermage but I went in anyways to see if there were other options & of course to hear their sales pitch. I felt like I was buying a car I couldn't afford any of the treatment so I declined the offers. IMPORTANT The women on the phone or in person is NOT a licensed esthetician or trained for injectable's Their goal is to make money by getting you to committing to treatments & I buckled to do a round of Diamond Glow facials. First treatment I felt all the love from the moment I walked in to leaving. The 2 gals up front were friendly and complimentary. My esthetician was knowledgeable about my colitis which was surprising because even some nutritionists aren't familiar with it so I felt like I was in good hands. The treatment went great and she talked through it telling me her every move. When I was finished she gave me a take home mask that I used a few days later. Something I wasn't aware of was after you do the diamond glow you shouldn't be out in the sun or wear makeup for awhile and of course I did both within a few days. My skin and glow was incredible. I was really happy with the results After the appointment I made the next 2 to follow within a few weeks of one another. That was something I also didn't know which is this isn't a once a month gig. They should be done within a few weeks of each other. I returned about 10 days later and when I arrived the 2 gals up front could care less. I was running about 6 mins late because parking is really rough & when I needed to use the restroom I could tell the esthetician was a little peeved. Mind you I have an autoimmune disease that's unpredictable and causes me to have flare ups and use the ladies room The treatment went quickly and when I asked about my free mask she said "I'm sorry we're all out but you can buy the package of 3 & we'll have 2 for you when you come back". I was told the same thing when I came back for my final diamond glow so I just settled on the pack I bought because I didn't want to spend anymore $ Now this is really where they fell short. After my last treatment there was zero follow up. That is bad business because how else are you gonna have returning customers? I even called multiple times to get my free mask but always got the same answer "sorry were still out". Really? I paid $750 for basically a facial that did nothing and you guys can't give me a $10 mask? Or even a bottled water? Lord. Fast forward a year later and here comes the emails calls and texts. As soon as I blocked one they'd try another. Thanks but NO THANKS. Train your staff to treat each customer like gold and follow up after each treatment. read more

LaserAway - Mask that I bought - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been receiving laser hair removal treatments since 2001 with four different providers in Sacramento and San Diego. From my experience the laser hair removal nurses at this LaserAway location are far too conservative with the laser settings. They wouldn't even tell me what Wave Length, Fluence, Pulse Width, or Rep Rate they used last time on me. The staff there are more interested in protecting themselves, opposed to administering an effective treatment, at the expense of your paid sessions going to waste. Go somewhere else where the staff will actually tell you what settings they are using; which you have a right to know since it's YOUR body and YOUR money. read more

A little late on my review but I came back here around November for a tattoo removal consultation after purchasing a Groupon package deal , and let's just say they didn't leave a good impression . The whole time I was talked to I felt as if it was such a condescending tone and that they only cared about the money . Keep in mind I had another consultation at a different removal place the day before and at that place they knew I had a consultation at laser away the next day and never once made me feel bad for weighing my options. As for laser away, when I told them they made me feel as just another $3k customer, not as an actually valued customer if that makes sense . read more

Initially I purchased a Groupon for Laseraway and when I came in I was enticed to purchased a package. At this point, I've purchased several packages. The Receptionist are all really nice. They are very knowledgeable about any of the services. However, one thing that has happened to me on several occasions is they are not always clear on how many treatments I have left in my packages. That is concerning. My recommendation is that you track your treatments. The nurses are always really nice and understanding about the pain (because it is painful ) but the results are amazing. A tip, if you are like me and the pain is unbearable purchase the numbing cream it helps a great deal. I use both numbing cream and ice packs during my treatment. Another recommendation for the company, when clients purchase packages a nice small gift would be ideal, just a thought. Overall, the place is super cute. Prior to COVID they had a nice self-serving coffee corner. I miss that. I would recommend this place as the results are amazing! read more
