Bare Beauty Laser Hair Removal

I have no complaints at all. I saved a lot of money by going with a package, because you pay for specific number of treatments but you get more than double in return. I did my legs, and each single treatment was not long, and results lasted for weeks, and when the hair started growing back each time, it took longer and thinner. A year after completetion of a package I have no need for any touch ups, and only have a total of 19 hairs that grew back, and that is so much more than i expected.

Pros: Low cost, amazing employees, convinient hours.

I just started getting treatment at Bare Beauty Laser. I had previously been getting treatment at another laser location in Astoria which shall remain nameless.(it is in the train station) After getting burned there and scarred, I summed up the courage to try another laser place. They were so nice to me at Bare Beauty. Before I even started getting treated with them they were so generous that they gave me some creams for free because of my burns from that other location. Needless to say such niceness won me over and I am so pleased that Bare Beauty is now my laser center. The prices are so much better, they are much more knowledgeable, and the manager there is so understanding that Bare Beauty should be everyone's 1st choice for laser hair removal. Margarita, Andy, Max, Daniela and Jasmine thank you so much!!!!

Pros: prompt service, friendly management

great place. nice people. only con is that there is no parking after 7 because of the meters. Other than that there is no reason to not go to them. My hair is almost gone and at this rate I should be done by the end of this year. I cant wait. Thanks BB!!

Pros: the prices

Cons: no parking after 7

I'm new to this country, but I had problem with hair on my body. I pay cheap for package. I live in brooklyn now, but I come to Astoria because they good. My hair is almost gone, and dark marks because of hair is better, almost gone. I love it. They have good people there, two woman, and one man that do laser, and two people in front, very sweet people. I don't speak english well, I called bare beauty and speak to them in my language, they have people work there from different country. Max give me consultation, and he good. He also does my laser on a lot of area. Jasmine treat me too, and last week Daniela do my laser. Very good, I love it, exzellent service, and very cheap. My sister come to this country next year, she will go there too.

Pros: Good people, cheap, fast

Having a face full of ingrown hairs is not pretty and painful. Leaves scars, and dark marks, which lowers self esteem. Before I found Bare Beauty I Went to another location and gained a scar on my face because they did not know what they were doing. A friend of mine recommended bare Beauty, because she went there, but I didn't listen and went to my doctor. He recommended surgery, or a laser procedure at his office, which was way too expensive. One session on my face at his office equals to almost as much as does the whole face package at bare beauty. So finally I went to Bare Beauty, had 2 sessions, and I don't see anymore of ingrown hair. The staff there is very friendly, I called a lot before beginning my treatments there and every time I spoke with Margarita, she always answered all of my questions. Max is my laser guy, he is nice and very knowledgeable. I'm glad that I saved a lot of money with them, and my problems are gone.

Pros: Done as promissed, problems are gone

Posted 11/16/09

Good prices and friendly staff. Will recommend to all. Got my underarms done. It took 5 minutes and the results were WOW! Definetely give this place a try. You will not regret it. I know I dont.

Pros: staff, prices, location

Cons: parking

Posted 11/16/09

Had my first treatment. It was great. My legs are so smooth. Def recommend Bare Beauty if you want good results and amazing service. A+++++

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Posted 11/15/09

I was skeptical about getting laser done because i thought it was going to hurt. It was not what i expected. The treatment was so short that i didn't have time to feel if it hurt or not. If anyone has reservations of getting laser done because it hurts, don't! It is painless. Not only that the results from one treatment are amazing. its like i never had hair there. Everyone should be doing this.

Pros: fast service, good prices

Cons: none

Posted 11/15/09

Being a female and having facial hair is not pretty, thanks to Max and Bare Beauty, because I don't have the same problem anymore. I referred few of my friends to go there, and now we can share our stories regarding laser hair removal, and enjoy the results.

Pros: Very affordable, great staff.

Posted 11/13/09

I live in PA, but it was worth the trip coming to get treated at Bare Beauty. People that work there are great, hours are very convenient and prices are the best. Six months after my completion, and still hair free. It really does work for removing my hair permanently.

Pros: It really does work.

Posted 11/12/09

I only have one more treatment before my package is complete, but I feel like I want to continue since the staff has become more of an extended family to me. I love the way my brazilian looks and I never feel the hairs growing in between treatments. I am thinking about starting my full legs before the holiday special is over so I can be ready for the beach next summer! Good luck to you in making your decision about laser hair removal, I'm sure if you choose BB you won't be disappointed.

Pros: clean, convenient, and caring

Cons: cold in treatment rooms...

I am a male in my forties and have suffered from ingrown hairs on my neck from shaving for many years.Having to shave every day and wearing collared shirts for work became irritating and unbearable.A friend who is very knowledgeable of the laser hair industry suggested I try it out,he suggested Bare Beauty located in Astoria queens which was rated one of the top five laser hair removal by New York Magazine.On his recomendation I called them and they were very accomodating and gave me a FREE consultation right away. I was so impressed with the knowledge of their technicians that i decided to try it and im so glad I did. After only three treatments and a couple of free clean ups that they throw in for FREE I have not had any ingrowns!!!!!
Thanks Bare Beauty you actually made getting dressed for work a more pleasurable experience!!!!

Pros: Clean Proffesional great results

Cons: none worth mentioning

Posted 10/19/09

I have suffered with unwanted facial hair my entire life. Ive been plucking and waxing for almost 15 years and spent thousands and thousands dollars with minimal results. A friend of my mentioned about how she comes to this place to do laser. I was skeptical at first because she is light skinned so I didnt know if the laser would work on me because I am black. Another set back was that the location is located in Astoria and I live out on the island. But let me tell you now it was well worth the trip. I had the best service, everyone was so polite and informative. From the moment you step in they treat you like you are their only client. They really do make you feel special, and sympathize with your situation instead of just treating you like another person with a dollar bill marked on their forehead. They are very experienced with treating all skin types, which made me feel more relaxed and willing to do the treatment. Ive only had one so far but the results are amazing and I havent had to pluck or wax in over 3 weeks. Id definetely recommend this place to anyone with unwanted hair. Top notch.

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Posted 10/18/09

Came in for the first time on Friday. I had a consultation which was really great and got treated on my bikini. It looks awesome. Worth every penny especially when you buy a package it comes out alot cheaper and they throw in some free treatments. Great place and really friendly people. Jasmine and Max are both great technicians, so who ever you go to you are gonna get grade A service. Another plus is that they call the day before to confim the appointments which is great because I have horrible memory.

Pros: good prices, nice people

Cons: parking is limited, couldn't find location on 2nd FL

I have struggled with hair situation on my face since i was in my teens. I researched for best options, but I have turned for help to electrolysis. I have done it for a very long time, my hair has reduced but it is still growing. I have been in and out for electrolysis already 3 years. I just got tired, it is way too painful, and I have gained scars from it. A friend of mine went to Bare Beauty and she loved it, still till this day she has no hair on her legs. I turned for help to the virtual world called internet. Honestly I was afraid to try laser because the internet and people on it only gives negatives, and some positive results. I finally decided to go to Bare Beauty, I live in the area, but I had a hard time finding them, but on my second try I called in and they guided me with the directions. I had no idea that I passed them by every single day. I had a consultation with Margina over the phone first, she gave me a lot of information that I have not known about and never found it online, but she recommended to have an actual consultation with one of the technicians. I read great reviews about Max, and he did my friend's treatments. He is a funny kid, always makes you smile, and I was blown away with the information that he gave me about laser. I signed up that instant minute. It has been 3 treatments so far with him, and he is made of gold because I have no hairs. I am so happy, I don't share the same complications in my life as I have prior to laser. My best recommendation is to go for packages, they save you so much money. I paid for 5, but I got 12 visits in return. Bare Beauty gave me a chance at living a life with high self esteem. Thank you Max, and Bare Beauty.

Pros: Fully Informative staff. Packages

Cons: None

Posted 10/06/09

I am a single female in my early thirties, that means I have to look my best, without any flaws, especially when I am out on the date. I used to have so much hair on my face, and waxing made it worse, the hairs started growing into my skin, the skin became discolored, and I only gained more hair. It was just ashamed of my face, so rarely gone out on dates, at work people stared, my self esteem went down the drain. One time I fell ill, so I did not wax my face for a good week or so, I looked at my face when it was time to go out into the real world, I had the same amount of the hairs on my face as the last guy I went on the date with. I researched ways of doing it, went to a doctor, and he is the one who recommended Bare Beauty to me, he mentioned how few of his clients have dramatic results. I researched about them, and their ratings are really good so I went. I had consult with Max, and he is the one that treats me. I prefer to begin and end with the same person. This is so emotional for me right now, I can't believe how easy it was to remove my biggest block in my life, I feel like a little girl right now and letting her tears out. I've had 3 treatments and 3 clean ups, which you get those for free if you purchase a package, I did, I mean you would have to be really not so smart not to take an advantage upon taking such amazing offer. To make this thing short, Max rules when it comes to laser, really quick, really really good at getting every single hairs out, never misses a single one. Thank you Max, you have changed my life, I can finally live again. I'm not done yet, and I am only in the middle of my package, but I enjoy going there, and Max always makes me laugh, he is very charming person. I think that I said enough, if you are having issues like I did, get up and go there. Once again, thank you Max, you are truly magical person.

Pros: Price, Staff, Hours, Machines

Cons: Can't think of any.

Posted 09/30/09

BARE BEAUTY IS AN AWESOME PLACE FOR HAIR REMOVAL. THE PRICE IS JUST RIGHT AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING TREATED AT AN UPSCALE SPA ON 5TH AVENUE EVEN THOUGH UR IN LITTLE OL' ASTORIA. THE STAFF WAS SO PLEASANT AND INFORMATIVE. I BOUGHT A PACKAGE RIGHT ON THE SPOT AFTER MY FREE CONSULTATION. I HIGHLY SUGGEST GOING THERE. ANY TECH YOU CHOOSE IS GREAT FROM JASMINE TO MAX. PLUS THE MANAGER GAVE ME A GREAT DISCOUNT BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME THERE. OVERALL EXPERIENCE THERE WAS GREAT. I CANT WAIT TIL I GO AGAIN..

Pros: best place in town

Cons: none

Posted 09/29/09

Growing up and becoming hairy was hard, guys and girls around my age laughed at how hairy i was, and waxing only made it worse. I came to Bare Beauty knowing nothing and what to expect. I read a lot on laser, and reading only made me less a believer. I had consultation at few places, and even had a treatment here and there, but was very disappointing. In this place during the consultation with Max, I already knew that I was in hands of someone who knows what he is doing, and he always makes people smile. He always comes out with a smile, and so do his other clients. I recommended few people to Max only. I'm not going to brag like every other person has done. They are not expensive at all, service is top notch, results are unexplainable, just amazing. I work late, so weekend is the only option i had, I wish that they had Sundays as an option as well. You won't know what laser can do and how it can change your life, until you get it done. I experimented on myself, and Bare Beauty made my dreams into a reality.

Pros: Cheap, Hours, Max (laser guy), confirmations

Cons: Only Saturday open, be nice to have a Sunday.

Posted 09/29/09

I went to a few places to get my hair removed and because
i have darker skin most places said they could not treat me!!One day i saw a flyer for Bare Beauty and decided to walk in and check it out.Max the technician gave me a free consultation on the spot and he explained to me the different types of lasers they use which one of them is special to treat darker skin.I was so impressed with his knowledge and the cleanliness of the place i decided to have a treatment but still a little skeptical! After one treatment i was so amazed and satisfied with the results and service that i returned and bought a package which Max offered me at a great price!!!

Pros: clean,excelent care,private

Cons: none

Posted 09/22/09

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME COMING TO BARE BEAUTY FOR LASER.I HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE MY BRAZILIAN AND UNDERARMS 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A PACKAGE WHICH REALLY WORKED GREAT. I BARELY HAD ANY HAIR GROWTH SINCE I FINISHED 2 YEARS AGO. SO WHEN I CALLED AND SPOKE TO MARGARETA ABOUT DOING OTHER AREAS SHE TOTALY ACCOMADATED ME. SHE DIDNT CHARGE ME FOR MAINTENANCE ON THE PREVIOUS AREAS AND SHE GAVE ME AN AWESOME PRICE ON FULL LEGS, FACE AND CHEST. SHE WAS REALLY GREAT IN UNDERSTANDING MY FINANCIAL SITUATION WHICH MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IN SPENDING THAT MONEY HERE THAN SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE THEY DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT YOU. I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR A MORE NICER PERSON. MY TREATMENTS SO FAR HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL. HOWEVER I DO HAVE ONE THING THAT MADE ME UPSET ABOUT THIS PLACE. I EXPECTED TO BE TREATED BY JASMINE BECAUSE THAT IS WHO I SCHEDULED WITH. I WAITED TIL FRIDAY BECAUSE THAT IS HER DAY SHE IS THERE TIL CLOSING. I CAME IN AT 6 AND SHE JUST TREATED MY BRAZILAIN AND SAID SHE HAD TO LEAVE SO MAC FINISHED EVERYTHING ELSE. I DIDNT MIND IT THE FIRST TIME BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE MORE. I SCHEDULED WITH HER AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN SHE HAD TO LEAVE. I UNDERSTAND SHE HAD TO BE SOMEWHERE BUT THEN WHY SCHDULE ME AN APPT AND THEN NOT BE THERE WHEN I COME IN. ALSO THE LAST TWO TIMES I WAS THERE HER DAUGHTER WAS THERE WHICH I FOUND TO BE A LITTLE INAPPROPRIATE. OTHER THAN THOSE TIMES THE TREATMENTS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD AND THE MANAGER MARGARETA WAS VERY ACCOMODATING WITH THE SITUATION AND GAVE ME SOME FREE TREATMENTS. BUT OVERALL BARE BEAUTY IS A GREAT PLACE AND WHOEVER YOU GO TO MAC OR JASMINE YOU ARE GOING TO GET AN AMAZING TREATMENT.

Pros: great pricing, great management

Cons: unavailability of technician

Posted 09/16/09

Great value and results. Had the best results on my chin and upper lip. My hair is nearly gone. Only a few stubbles on my chin but I am told that those will go as well. The facility is clean and the staff very friendly.

Pros: Good prices and great service

Cons: Not any

Posted 07/26/09

Wow, where do I begin? Well I started laser in July 08, I purchased a package, and I was done in April. I called Bare Beauty, because a friend of mine was thrilled with his results from there, told me to go there and ask for Max. I did my research online about Laser hair Removal, and finally made an appointment. I filled out a form, and Max gave me my consultation. I have read a lot about LHR, and even joined forums, but my consultation was way much more informative than any forum, or any site. He looked over my areas, and I had a lot of hairs, I mean I am Italian. He told me not to be worried that they will work with me regarding pricing and what I can afford. With his consultation I was just ready to do it, on top of that Max gave me a good deal. During the treatment I felt laser working, it felt like a slight pinch, but Max kept on talking in order to me to keep my attention away from laser. He is a funny guy, the whole treatment took about 40 minutes, then he wiped my areas off with a wipe, and showed me my hairs on that wipe. After the first treatment my hairs started growing slowly, I used to wax every 2 weeks and with laser my hair was barely showing for my second treatment, and that was 6 weeks after my first visit. On top of that I got free mini-treatment between each main treatment. I paid for 5, but I ended up going there exactly 12 times. Today it has been exactly 4 months since I finished my laser treatments, and as promised 90% of hair is gone. I just had to write a review because this summer I get a lot of attention on the beach, Bare Beauty has changed my life. Best money I ever spent.

Pros: Low prices, Call confirmations, Experienced techs, Hours

Cons: None

Posted 07/25/09

I had my bikini laser done last month. The work is amazing and the area is hair free even after one treatment. i am told that i need a few more sessions but if this is what to expect, I will be treating many areas.

Max and Jasmin are both great, they really know what they are doing and are quite passionate. A little pain but it goes away within a few second.

I definitely recommend this place. Pricing is very good as well.

Pros: Quality of work, technicians and lasers

Cons: Not any

Posted 07/22/09

Just finished my back package. The results are awesome. Totally would recommend. Cant wait to do my chest in a few weeks.

Pros: nice staff, very clean

Cons: none

Posted 05/13/09

I had a consultation with Jasmine yesterday. She was so great I had to write a review just about that and I havent even been treated yet. If the service is this good during the consultation I wonder how it will be during my first treatment with her on Saturday. I am definetely glad I chose Bare Beauty for my laser hair removal. I cant wait til Saturday.

Pros: courteous staff

Cons: none

Posted 05/13/09

I went to Bare Beauty for a consultation the other day. Hidden away on the second floor, this place is definitely private. Which is a good thing if you dont want anyone to know you are doing laser hair removal. When I walked in iI was greeted by the manager who was really nice and sweet. I then was taken into one of their treatment rooms and was explained the whole process. The male technician gave me the consultation. He was really nice and explained everything about laser and answered all my questions. Since I was a walk-in I couldnt get treated by him but since they have more than one laser the other technician on staff gladly perfomed my treatment. She was really nice and sweet too. And she went extra slow for me since it was my first time and I was really nervous. When she finished it looked amazing. Like I never had hair there. I was a little red which is normal but after a few minutes that went away. The prices are really great considering they use the same machines used in upscale manhattan centers. Its like getting treated in manhattan but queens prices. So overall I had a great experience and I'm going to go in again to buy a package. I would definitely recommend Bare Beauty to everyone who has hair they need to get rid of. A+++++

Pros: great staff, reasonable prices

Cons: none

Posted 05/07/09

I came in for a back consultation. The treatment was really good. Pricing was very affordable and Jasmin, my technician was wonderful and explained everything in detail. I came for one treatment but ended up buying a package because I was very impressed with the service.

Pros: Clean, good technician, great prices

Cons: none

Posted 05/05/09

I was always skeptical of laser hair removal. I've been interested in having it done but had my doubts(reading alot of negative reviews about other facilities). I finally gave in and scheduled an appointment for a free consultation. I am so glad that I did. From that first phone call with the manager Margarita, I could tell that I was going to have a pleasant experience. She talked with me for almost an hour, answering all my questions. She didnt even seem to mind that I kept her on for that long. I booked the consult and came in. She had a big smile for me when I walked in which was so great because some places dont even notice you when you enter. I sat down, filled out my form and waited to be seen. I was seen right away. The technician, Jasmine, made me feel so comfortable. She pretty much told me everything Margarita told me over the phone but this time more in depth. She made all my fears and doubts vanish. I was so impressed that I decided to get the treatment done right then. It may be the best money I ever spent! I havent needed to worry about shaving in almost 3 months. All thanks to Jasmine, Margarita and Bare Beauty. I havent finished my treatments yet but I am already happy with the results.

Even if you decide not to get treated there, the warm conversation and pleasant experience is worth the stop by. Definetely one of a kind in customer service!!

Pros: great prices, quality service, greeted with smiles, clean

Posted 05/05/09

First I have to say that this place has the most attractive female staff I have ever seen. That being said, I owe my current relationship to Bare Beauty. I am Greek. Which many of you should know, we are a very hairy people. After being seen by Jasmine, I am now as silky smooth as a newborn baby. I could not be happier. My girlfriend personally called in to thank her. She doesnt speak english to well but she does speak greek. They have a staff member who speaks greek which is so good for us Astorians. Not many locations now in the area are fluent in greek. She told me she had a pleasant conversation with Margaret and now she was going to come in and get treated. Jasmine saw her and she did the same great job. We are both so pleased. Everyone there is so great. Especially Jasmine and Margaret. The other front desk guy Andy is really funny and the male technician Mark is also nice. A little loud & very talkative. He can keep you there for hours. Overall the treatments were spectacular and I cant wait til I go back for my touch up in 2 weeks.

Pros: good prices, excellent staff

Cons: none

Posted 05/05/09

Before I made contact with Chris (the owner), I had been looking for a professional establishment to provide laser hair removal. My trials and tribulations during this process were both frightening and eye opening. I was very nervous about making an appointment since my previous experiences were negative. I was met with a friendly face and introduced to Max, who perfomed the treatment. Max's friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease and I was pleased with the outcome of the treatment. At the end of my visit, I was introduced to Chris. I have come to learn that Chris is well respected in the LHR community and very knowledgeable in his field. If you are contemplating LHR, do yourself a favor and visit Chris and his staff.

Pros: Professional, friendly and knowledgeable

Cons: None

Posted 01/27/09

Although I live in Astoria, I always thought that I could get better service in the city. However, once I came to Bare Beauty, I changed my mind. Berta, my technician, did a wonderful job on my bikini. She explained the process in detail and made me feel very comfortable. the hair has shed after 10 days and I can not wait to go back for my touch up.

Very nice, clean and affordable.

Pros: Clean, affordable, very friendly, experienced

Posted 01/09/09

I have waxed for years, when the hair came back it came back with hairs that grew into my skin and gave me problems. I wanted my hair to be gone forever and not for few weeks, so I decided to look into Laser. I went to few locations in Astoria, bad experiences. Some places were dirty, and people knew little about laser, but they sure knew prices. I went to another place that had no doors, I didn't even take my shirt off. One day I was walking around and I got a flyer, which offered discounts on Laser hair removal treatments, I called in and spoke with a guy, and made an appointment for the same day. When I came in for my appointment, the receptionist greeted me with a smile, made me feel very comfortable, then the same guy that I spoke with took me in for consultation. I was nervous but at least comfortable to take my shirt off because they had doors, and office itself is very beautiful and clean. The Consultation took about 20 minutes, he was very honest with me, answered to all of my questions with a smile, he never stops smiling. His name is Max, he told me not to worry and that they are there to give me results that i came for, and they were not after my money, and believe me it is true because I paid for 5 treatments but I am getting 12 visits in return. Price was much lower than other places that I went to. it's been few weeks already after the treatment and all of my hair fell out, completely different feeling than waxing. The best thing about my first treatment is that Max made me laugh, and minutes later he told me that I was done, I was amazed about how quick it was. I recommend this place fully because they have great Laser machines, I did research on their lasers, and I was glad that I picked them just because they have the best lasers in the entire Astoria. You get the best for less. I live around the corner and never knew that they were there until the flyer. If you want laser, bare beauty is the place to go, but remember to pick Max. He is great.

Pros: Great Laser Machine, Amazing Laser Professional, and low prices. You can request your laser professional every time.

Cons: Their female laser professional, she passed right by me without smiling and smelling like an ashtray and talking on her phone very loud in some other language.

Posted 11/29/08

I have been treating my bikini for a while now. the results are amazing. Jasmin, my technician is very very thorough. She never misses a hair. Pricing is more competitive than Manhattan and since they are open on weekends as well, i am able to get treated without any hassles. The facility is very clean and the personnel very friendly. I am very happy and have recommended many of my friends.

Pros: Clean, experienced tech, inexpensive

Posted 11/11/08

I am a hairy guy and went to many consultations. Pricing varied but at Bare Beauty, they gave me a deal that i could not resist. Julia is fantastic. Very pleasant, knows what she is doing and very gentle. They used a very powerful laser on me and now I have hardly any thick hair left, just a few fine thin ones. I am doing treatments every 10 weeks. Margarita at the front desk always greets me with a smile. The treatment hurts a little but it is worth it since I am getting results.

Pros: Technicians, price, value, results

Posted 11/11/08

I am in the midst of treating my legs and bikini. The price quoted was way cheaper than anyone in the area. I have had two sessions and both times the technicians I had were very sweet. They used an Alexandrite Laser and another one on me because I was tanned during one of my visits. My legs have very little hair left but my bikini needs some more work. Great atmosphere. I may start on my underarms soon.

Pros: Everything

Posted 11/11/08

I had a very educational consultation with Max ( I believe that was your name) last week. The center is very pretty and I like the location, about 15 minutes from my home. I was explained what different machines they use and how affective they are compared to others machines. I was ready to purchase a full bikini package, when I say full I mean all the way under as well, but was quotes $3000 for six treatments. I was very shocked because other places quoted me less for full bikini and underarm. I was told they might be more but they have better lasers that others. I have called around and found the same lasers at three different places. I am going to visit these locations and check them out. If it wasn't for the price I would consider this center.

Posted 09/23/08

The rumors that this place is small and terrible at service seem true. Management might change, but can we wait? We are told "soon" but when is "soon"? Anyway, let us know asap so we can decide where to bring our business.

Pros: reviews? ;-)

Cons: service, machine

Posted 09/16/08

Although we came to this place for laser hair removal, all we got was bad service. We won't return. That said, if you have no other choice, go here. It's not the worst place on the planet.

Pros: Astoria

Cons: Servcice, Price

Posted 08/09/08

I had laser removal done on my chin and upper-lip and was overall happy wiht the results. During the procedures, the staff were really nice and helpful and tried to minimize discomfort. There was a slight stinging sensation and redness but it went away in a few hours or even less. So there were no marks, burns or visible signs of the laser (other than one time when they used a slighter higher intensity and i had a few very small burns/cuts on my upper-lip...but they faded away pretty soon and this was only once in my half-year of going here). I just told them to be careful about the intensity since my skin was super sensitive.

I found that some hair does come back. They tell you that the same hair won't come back but they can't guarantee the appearance of new hair. Unfortunately it doesnt say on my hair which is old and which is new, so there's no way of getting your money back if your hair does come back. I do still have hair on my chin/upper-lip but it is finer than before and my major problem of a few annoying thick hairs is gone.

But that hasn't stopped hair from coming out elsewhere on my face. I have saved the money that I used to spend on threading but I still have to use some kind of hair treatment for that area like bleaching. I think the dream of completely hairless skin is an elusive one! esp. for certain ethnic groups...I am South Asian.

Pros: very friendly and helpful staff, relatively painless procedure, no scarring

Cons: some hair re-appearance, in astoria vs. manhattan

Posted 08/18/07

I have plucked, bleached, electrolysis, waxed, epilated, and shaved, embarrassing hair from bod to face! Everyone has advised her 2 cents about what I needed to do. From those experiences, I concluded plucking was the safest!

For 20yrs and every ?weekday? morning I looked into my mirror, which illuminated and magnified each and every hair that had sprouted that night. Armed with 1-3 tweezers I mulled over my upper lip until there was none. This took at least 10 minutes every morning!

Having this daunting ritual everyday I have researched for a while, looking for affordable and safe laser removal. And I found it! Max, was patient with my 100?s of questions that I asked, even though I new all the answers from my years of research (I was just testing him to see if he knew them too- and he aced it) and advised how I should prepare (because of my previous home treatments lol) to maximize my treatments.

Now these days at the super clean and professional Bare Beauty, I have 1 ? 4 hairs that will come back in-between my monthly checkups. I think on my next visit I might become a graduate- so far no sprouts yet!

However, I must confess I still have looked around to see if I really was still getting the best, and I have to say yes! I?m not going to go anywhere else! Look out happy trail- your next!

Pros: Super clean, great price, nice, easy to schedual

I am a woman of color and I have recieved 5 treatments from Bare Beauty. Results are great. I've been doing my legs and I would say 90% of my hair is gone. It is so hard to explain how good it feels not to worry about shaving or stubbles, and I had hairs that grew into my skin, oh that waspainful but after 2 treatments they were gone. I love it. First I started doing my under arms with them, and after fourth treatment I still don't see any hair growing back, call me lucky or I just have landed the most perfect laser location. Price wise they are great. Ive called other locations and called doctors offices that do laser, lets just say my package price for legs was the same as what they were charging for just one treatment at some doctors location in city. Bare Beauty carries the top latest technology lasers, and I know that because I've done my research. Prior of doing any laser I did research online and stories from people having bad experience with laser scared me but I still went for the free consultation to few locations but with warm smiles and very friendly staff at Bare Beauty just made me forget what I read, and after being with them I would say for some time and I have done a lot of areas, I can honestly say that what I read online was untrue. I have also my friends going there now and everyone is thanking me, oh I just feel great. Their Laser machines are exactly the same as the top laser location in city but they charge much less, and I mean a lot less. I never wait for my appointment time, I come in on time and I go right in. Friendly staff, and I can honestly say even on my consulation I never felt pressure into buying something with them, I enjoy being there and I will always recommend people to Bare Beauty because it is worth every penny.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great Prices.Top Laser Machines

Cons: None

I have researched about laser everywhere and I am a hairy person. I have wasted money on locations that I saw in newspaper advertisements. They don't even carry true lasers. That's what I got for being cheap. I went to a doctors office thinking that they carried a real laser that penetrated the skin into hair follicle. I spent insane money for each treatment, and the machine they carried was a true laser but it was old and very painful. I have lived in astoria for 5 years and I have never noticed Bare Beauty and one day by accident I did. I went in for the consultation with little hope that I would leave satisfied. I walked in and I was greeted by a gentleman with a very warm welcoming smile named Max and that made me feel comfortable right away. I filled out a form and then he gave me a consultation. He is very informative about laser and showed me exactly what it does on the chart they have in the treatment room. I have asked so many question and he has answered them all. It came to the pricing of my areas and I was thinking that for a location like this and for the top quality laser that I would be spending much more than I did at the doctors, and when he told me the price I wanted to do numerous areas because it was nearly 4 times cheaper. Then he explained what kind of packages they have there and I was even more surprised because that way I can get much more and save even more. He gave me a spot test he called it to see how laser feels and what it does. At the doctors place I barely made it through the treatment and I cried, but there I was amazed how little it hurt, I barely felt it and two weeks later happen exactly what he told me, the hair fell out and it was smooth. I did some research on the machines they have there and it was exactly true what he has told me, Apogee Elite is amazing laser and I am so looking forward of doing more areas. The guy who treats me is a great technician and very funny I enjoy being there because I feel welcomed and satisfied.

Pros: Amazing Technician, and very low prices and they carry machines that the best location in city does.

Cons: Very addictive with amazing results

This review is about a year in the making. I started my treatment in may 2006. I got a package treatment for my back and shoulders with 6 clean ups inbetween treatments. Bare beauty's pricing is probably one of the cheapest around and their staff is nice and will listen to you if you want them to change something about the treatment.

The part you need to understand is this. It is not Permanent removal of hair. It is reduction and thinning out at best. I just had my last treatment done about 6 weeks ago. We are talking about 6 full sessions plus 6 clean ups which were practically full sessions as well so pretty much 12 times i went there. Now 6 weeks later after all these treatments i finally get to see what 3000 dollars pays for. I have to say i am a little dissapointed. Maybe it is different for woman who dont have as much testosterone as men do thus more hair grows back for us, but if you are a guy my suggestion is do one or two treatments to see if you like the direction it is headed in. Also make sure the settings they have are high enough if you can tolerate the pain it is worthwhile to get them as high as possible at least 25 joules to start. Also, one side effect is that the laser might cause new hair to grow as well cause it stimulates the hair folicles. I had this happen and it caused problems around my neck area. This was also a negative in my opinion.

The whole experience was mainly positive and i have a lot of reduction but i also have the majority of my hair growing back as well. While it is thinner, lighter and shorter, for 3000 dollars i expected more and should have gotten more. The treatment is an expensive option so unless this is something you can afford do electrolysis or just deal with it. This is my honest opinion and this has been a long and detailed process.

Pros: nice staff, good boss (chris will listen to your opinions)

Cons: expensive, not hair removal really hair reduction at best

I live in the city but have not been able to find an affordable and reputable center to go to. While browsing the internet I stumbled upon Bare Beauty. Not only where they competitive but the service and attention to detail was impeccable. I got a back treatment on a Saturday and was very pleased with the results. Needless to say my girlfriend is also having her bikini line done. We are both satisfied with the technician as well as the lasers. Definitely a place to check out .

Pros: Technicians, location, service, pricing, results

I had started growing hair on my chin when I started birth control when I was about 17. I became very self concious and started plucking. Then it started growing in so much, that I was plucking almost every other day. Now at 26, I came to bare and beauty with no knowledge of laser hair removal. The technician explained the procedure in depth. I was scared that it would be painful so they did a test patch to see what it would actually feel like before I purchased anything. It has now been about 6 months and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RESULTS!!!! I was first told not to pluck anymore, and if needed, to shave. Well the last time i shaved was about 3 months ago. Between the 2nd and 3rd session, I noticed the hair was growing in much slower and softer and now I'm almost done and I have nothing growing back. I am so satisfied that I am going to purchase another package for my underarms. When I first started looking for places to do hair removal, I called a lot of places and their prices were extremely high. Then I got to bare and beauty and thought... well ok this seems reasonable. I am so glad I made the choice to go there.

Pros: good location, experienced & friendly technicians, good price

Cons: none

The staff at Bare Beauty are kind, honest, and pleasant people who perform miracles. I have been recommending them to everyone I know. I now realize that waxing is a disgusting waste of money. I will be having future laser treatments there. Astoria is also lovely and hardly out of the way as the location is around the corner from the subway.

I have been going to Bare Beauty for a while, my results are beyond my expectation. I have started with my cheeks and everytime I get there I am buying a new package of new treatment area. They take care of me so well. They have curteous and caring staff. I even got treated when I was tanned as they have lasers for tanned skin. They bought a new machine that finishes my back in 20 minutes now. What else I could ask more, great price, great staff, up to date machines and so clean.

Pros: Friendly technicians, Great Lasers, Very experienced

Posted 10/05/06

I was honestly hoping for more competitive prices and more updated equipment to make it reasonable to take a trip out of the city for each treatment. Having researched the market and the laser technology for a while before deciding, I have found this facility poor in what they had to offer me. May be for someone who lives there. Not worth for me taking the trip.

Cons: Far, staff not friendly, packages not customized for your needs

I've been wanting to write this review for a long time. Now that my treatments are completed and I have had time to formulate a proper critique of Bare Beauty, I would like to share my experiences with any interested parties and would-be clients of this wonderful establishment.

Ever since I first stepped foot into Bare Beauty Laser Hair Removal, I became immediately aware of how attentive and capable the staff truly are. First off, greetings come garnished with pleasant smiles and friendly faces. Secondly, after an informative consultation with Daniela, one of the two qualified technicians who is employed by Bare Beauty, I was certain that this was the type of that I wanted to handle my laser hair removal. Daniela was very patient and understanding of me, especially since I had very little knowledge of the entire laser hair removal process and I had many questions about the procedure. What struck me, soon after my first few visits after purchasing a well priced package, bundled with free clean-ups in-between sessions, was this companys loyalty to its clients. One day prior to every visit, I was contacted to make sure nothing had come up in my schedule that may interfere with my predetermined appointment. Throughout the process, I was treated with much respect and all my unanswered questions were eagerly attended to by the staff. It was a very refreshing process, one I wish were adopted and emulated for the more cumbersome of my routine appointments, i.e., dentists and so forth.

I put my trust in this company to fulfill their guarantee of permanent reduction of my hair growth. The results are nothing short of amazing and Ive never felt more confident of my body every since. And with the conclusion of my package, comes the beginning of a new, at 10% discount no less. Now how's thats for customer appreciation. =)

Pros: Customer friendly, intelligent, and well spoken staff who only have your best interests in mind.

Cons: None.
