Such as... * Text communication for appointments (perfect for us busy folks who can't get on the phone!) * State of the art machines (crucial for those of us with darker skin who need to be mindful). * Extremely well organized staff who keep everything humming perfectly, including the punctuality of appts. * Amazing technicians who not only know what they're doing but are kind and thoughtful and who are efficient but never rushed. (A huge shout out to Julia--she is like soothing balm to my soul and I always leave feeling more relaxed than when I came in despite the lasers lol) * And most importantly, IT WORKS. Whatever sessions you sign up for, I guarantee you see the results. * Oh and second most importantly, it is AFFORDABLE. Start with a Groupon and grow to buying packages directly from them with the specials they regularly offer! It's like the pricing of a place that you don't expect to be the spa-like environment that it is! I know I'm just piling on the great reviews here, but quite frankly, they've earned them!

(I'm sharing but please don't start overbooking with my person) I ended up getting a wax pass where you purchase a bunch of waxes in advance and that saves you when you come for the future services. I find it worthwhile because it also gives you a discount when you come in for your next service and its pre-paid. The inly extra expense you're only paying for would be the tip. Generally there isn't a long wait and if there is whoch has only happened once, I was kept up to date the whole time. The front desk reception staff have always been nice and they present a pleasant welcoming vibe. When they get to know you, it helps with an even quicker check-in process. I'm really glad I was introduced to EWC via this location. I also hope they continue with a staff like they currently have.

One is, so I can't even book until I provide a doctor's note. I could've done that weeks ago, and I would've just bought a 50% off package with the holiday deals and booked my first session if I didn't need to first come in for a 3 minute consult. The front desk staff was nice (though I have no clue what their names were because no one introduced themselves) and I was seen on time, so two stars for that, but three stars off for wasting my time. I've been preparing for weeks to begin laser treatments - no waxing, no sun, only shaving, etc., and now I'm unsure whether I should bother going back or find a different provider. UPDATE: Following my consultation, I received an email soliciting my feedback. I provided it and expressed that I had a poor experience during my consultation but remained interested in purchasing a package and working with a different specialist. No one acknowledged or responded. It now seems I'll be purchasing services elsewhere since Laser Spa doesn't care enough to earn my business with a simple response to an email. The location really is convenient and I prepared for many weeks for the treatments, so this is highly disappointing.

I've had many different technicians over the years, some better than others but all of them are professional when doing the treatments. The front desk staff in particular provides great customer service and are very easy to contact when I need to schedule or reschedule an appointment. I've had laser on most of my body and now I only need to go every couple of months for maintenance since some areas do grow back due to hormones. They use Cynosure laser and this has been very effictive for my skin. Getting laser was the best investment since I really don't ever have to worry about shaving anymore. They always have different promotions available so the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're interested in laser hair removal.

I love the Toto smart toilet and the little cup of water and mint they provide after your service. SKN uses a creme wax, which is thinner that other waxes, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin. However, I do personally prefer hard wax, which does not involve muslin strips. While Fairy and Jesse are both skilled, quick, and provide a gentle touch, I've noticed more that on more than one occasion, I've left the spa with some hair left on me.
