Assara Laser Llc

Two of my friends are clients here and have been pushing me to try it. I finally caved in and did a single session last week on my bikini. Obviously, this is a most sensitive region of my body. It was over before I knew it and it?s a really good job. I can?t imagine never getting a bikini wax again. It sounds too good to be true, but I?ve seen the results my friends have and I?m excited to see more.

Pros: Got a $50 off gift certificate by coming to their open house

I was a client at another laser hair removal place in the City and I had NO results. My hair continued to grow as thick and annoyingly even after 4 treatments at the other place. So I switched to Assara and now I understand what real laser hair removal is about? My legs are completely smooth and I?m thinking about doing my underarms too.

Pros: cool tips and tricks on their beauty blog

I received a great service at Assara last week and I wanted to tell you about it. The laser technicians were very discreet and respectful, because I was lasering my bikini, Brazilian of course. I was already dreading the embracement of having the technician zooming in on my bikini (front and back!). But she did a great job. She immediately put me at ease. She was polite and friendly and made me feel comfortable.

I?ve done 3 treatments at Assara and I?m writing to tell everyone out there on CitySearch that this is a really good place to get lasered for hair removal. I?m only doing my upper lip now (not that I had a beard or anything!) and I think I?m done. The hair has not grown back at all. I think they do a really great job and it hurts less than waxing. Trust me, I know!

i was going to buy a package through groupon... came here to check out reviews... why is every positive review from someone who has ONLY reviewed assara? very sketchy... i will not be buying any sessions here!

Like every other girl in western civilization I struggle with keeping my bikini hair controlled. It?s not only a summer worry, what about swimming at the gym in the winter and boyfriend rendez-vous and hook ups? I?m not into drastic solutions, but I realized that my shaving regimen had become drastic. I tried laser hair removal at Assara 2 months ago, (I went twice so far) and I have to say that I?m really happy with the results. My hair has already started to thin out and doesn?t grow as fast or as thick. It looks really good without the red bumps I usually got with waxing.

I had started a laser hair removal treatment in Austin, TX, and had crummy experience. I got a little burned and felt that it was kinda painful. I wasn?t going to venture into laser again, but my friend Laura kept telling me about this place and how good it was. So with a ton of trepidation I booked a visit for a treatment on my upper lip. It took 3 minutes, my session was great and it was not painful at all. The laser technician even had some extra time and agreed to laser my bikini and under arms on the spot. I guess not all lasers are created equal.

It?s hard to make head?s or tails of all the types of lasers companies are promoting for hair removal. There are IPL?S and Yag?s and who knows what else. But I?ve done some research and it turns out that for Caucasian people with dark hair the best laser is Alexandrite (Cynosure) and Assara has these lasers. That?s why when I get treatments they really are super effective and don?t burn me. They have the best lasers here.

Pros: The best lasers

Posted 10/13/09

I?m very happy with my treatments I?ve been getting at Assara. I want three times and I?m having my under arms, bikini and legs done. The people at Assara are very clean and proper and professional. The girls take all the hygiene precautions, and also have some good skin tips.

Pros: their beauty blog has very good tips

Posted 10/13/09

I?m a 2nd grade teacher and I?m I?m 32. It?s a clich? but I can?t help myself, I give Assara an A+ for service and reliability. They perform their business like extreme professionals, they?re always on time, the laser technicians take what they do seriously and are very discreet.

Posted 10/12/09

I?m writing to give you all a good tip that Liz at Assara gave me yesterday. I?m the type of girl who spends lots of time in front of the mirror checking for hairs to pluck. I always find it hard to grab those tiny little ones that grow between my eyebrows. Sometimes it?s not even a hair it?s just the tip of the tiny beginning of a hair? Okay, so sue me, I?m very into looking groomed! Ok, so I told Liz about this and she said I could just do laser hair removal on that one tiny little space between my eyebrows and those hairs would never grow back. Trust me, I promise you that unibrows will never come back in style (sorry Frida Khalo!) so I'm safe to remove those hairs permanently.

Posted 10/12/09

I always thought laser hair removal was some kind of drastic procedure that people like dancers needed to get done. I mean, it?s not that my monthly waxing appointments didn?t really bother me but it all just seemed so extreme. Call me old fashioned but zapping off any hair sounded a little crazy to me, even if the hair would never grow back. That was, until my sister drgged me to the Assara open house last week. She figured that the only way I?d try it is if it was free (she figured right!) and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It?s a little high tech, but this is one instance where technology really helps! At the open house I treated my underarms. The laser technician kept stressing to me that she was doing it faster because lots of people had come to the open house. She said that if I came for a real appointment the experience would feel much more personal. Well, this woman must be a crazy perfectionist because my underarms don?t have a single hair. I?m smooth and soft and there isn?t even the hint of stubble, even a week later.

Posted 10/11/09

I dragged my dad in 2 weeks ago to laser the hairs in his nose. Yes I did. Girls, if your father is embarrassing you with hairs growing in places they shouldn?t like ears, noses, eyebrows? Bring him in because if he?s like my dad he wants a quick solution. Well, to be honest my dad didn?t even care about the protruding nasal hairs? Oh gosh? Bit. we forced him anyhow. it took 5 minutes and he was done. And now I can look at him without being annoyed (heeheehee). One thing he said was that he smelled burnt for a couple hours. ( I guess the hairs in his nose we so long they got a little singed) but he said it wasn?t painful at all. And he actually just called to thank me. But I think the happiest person in all this is my mother.

Posted 10/10/09

I?m not into beauty treatments so laser hair removal was not my thing. Or so I thought. I went to the open house and got a free trial of laser hair removal on my arm pits. I?ll never shave again. The people who work there are really friendly and young and dynamic. They really take their time with me and I appreciate that. I?m more of a tomboy, but that doesn?t mean I like to shave!

Pros: don't have to shave anymore

Posted 10/07/09

I?ve been a aqua fit addict for a couple years and being in a bathing suit year-roud has turned me into a shaving addict too. Some of the younger ladies in my swimfit class suggested I try laser hair removal. It sounded a little draconian to me, but I still booked a consultation at Assara. I may not be a spring chicken (I?m 47) but I can still try young people?s new technologies if it?s going to make my life easier! So I did it at Assara. I did bikini and under arms (my leg hair is pale and patchy so I just let it go). The price was good and I?m at my 3rd treatment, they say you need about 6. Already my hair barely grows back and I haven?t shaved since.

Posted 10/07/09

When I heard about the open house at Assara I thought it was a scam. I mean, isn?t a business open every day like an ?open house???? Anyway, I got dragged to the open house by my friend who?s obsessed with my hair. (Okay, so I might have a little ?lady sideburns? and hairy arms?) It turns out that going to the Assara open house was a great decision because they were giving away free treatments that night! Seriously, lasering can be pricey (I thought) so a free treatment was just what I needed. So we got there had a few glasses of bubbly and some sandwiches (thanks for dinner Assara!) and then the laser tech called us in. She let my friend come in to the treatment room with me because I was nervous. She explained how the laser works and gave us some ridiculous eye protection glasses to put on. Then she did a little zapping on my sideburns and OMG? I was shocked and I still am shocked? the hair just POUF! Disappears? and the skin wasn?t red or irritated? Anyway, lasering is something you have to try to love. I?m so doing laser on my ?lady sideburns?!

Posted 10/06/09

I spent last Thursday night at Assara at their open house. MY friend has been a client of theirs for a couple months and she wouldn?t shut up about it. She kept saying ?just try it? just try it?? Like all I have to do in my life is spend money to have my upper lip laser beamed just to find out if it works for me! That was my attitude, but boy was I wrong. (Contrary to popular belief, I can admit when I?m wrong!)

What got me to try laser hair removal sessions at Assara was their free trial they were offering at the open house. I got my upper lip lasered (it seriously took 3 minutes? and I walked out with a smooth non-irriated upper lip)? So I?m booking a package to have my upper lip hair lasered.

Cons: none

Posted 10/06/09

I went to the open house at Assara last week and got a treatment to see if I wanted to go through with lasering. Okay, I won?t lie, I also went to get the FREE treatment they were offering. They had a pretty nice set up, (wine and food and free laser treatments? pretty cool huh?). One of the laser technicians that I met was a European woman. She had a pretty cute accent, but was incredibly knowledgeable about the lasers, my skin and how to get the best results. I strongly suggest you check out their next open house or book a consultation here, they are beyond professional.

Posted 10/06/09

Wow! Where are so many reviews on laser hair removal it was hard to make heads or tails of it all! It?s like booking a hotel in Vegas, how to choose one when there are so many options?

Anyway, let me help you cut to the chase. I?ve done lots of research and even went to 2 other laser centers to have consultations before I chose Assara for my laser hair removal center. The other places were more expensive, but I was willing ot pay more if it meant I was going to get better service, more convenient appointment times etc. Anyway, turns out that Assara is the best in all fields. They keep it clean and professional, the laser techs are thorough and they don?t waste time so I can have appointments on my lunch break.

Posted 10/06/09

I sent my boyfriend to Assara to have his hands lasered.

I know, it sounds weird? but he has these long lean beautiful fingers (he?s a bass player) but he?s insanely hairy? right up until his pinky finger.

Anyway, he said it took 10 minutes and wasn?t really painful and his hands look amazing and 100% hair free. He might just become a hand model.

He came home from his second appointment talking about having his chest, back and shoulders done? I?m shocked. He usually doesn?t want to do anything remotely beauty-related now he wants to do more laser hair removal.

That?s a testament to the good people at Assara.

Posted 10/05/09

I was at the spa getting a facial last week and I mentioned that I hated the blue veins around my nose. The aesthetician looked around guiltily and whispered to me that I should try going to this place to have them lasered off. I have to admit that all this laser stuff is a little weird to me. I mean, please, what is this star trek? Anyway, I went for it because my aesthetician has never steered my wrong. It was a little painful but only for like, 5 seconds. After that it was over and a week later the friggin spider vein is gone! Whadda ya know? the darn thing actually works! Thanks Assara.

Pros: Works like a charm

Posted 10/05/09

I?m writing this review to give a boost to one of the laser techs at Assara. I?m been a client for a couple of months and I always book appointment with Liz. I started as a scared client, thinking the laser would probably kill me! Now thanks to Liz I understand how it all works and I?m seeing amazing result! Through our little lasering sessions I?ve gotten to know her and she?s realy great. The best part we always share great skin care tips! She?s a very good listener and I think she?s from Brooklyn so she has that great accent! I love my results and I love my Liz at Assara!

Pros: Elizabeth was great

Posted 10/05/09

I can?t believe I waited so long to discover laser facials. WOW! I?ve never written a review before, so I don?t know what to say about this place and what they do? All I can say is that I went in for a laser facial and had the best service ever. The people were so nice and kind and had great skincare advice. They really know their stuff here.

Pros: Location in Midtown near Subway, Very Professional

Posted 10/04/09

I?m from New Jersey (Englewood baby!) and my friend told me about Assara in Manhattan. I had laser hair removal on my underarms at a place here in NJ and had okay results. Nothing like, wild that made me want to laser anything else. Anyway, my friend swears by Assara so I decided to book a bikini treatment when I was in town shopping. How convenient, they?re a block from all the best shops on 5th Avenue! I can?t believe how amazing the results are. The laser tech was really nice and did an amazing job. I?ll spare you the details, but let?s just say my bikini is very smooth and soft and 100% hair-free! I never thought I?d find something better than NJ? but Assara did it!

Pros: Nearby Shopping on 5th Avenue

Posted 10/04/09

I just read that almost half of the reviews on sites like Tripadvisor are fake. How could people be so lame as to write fake reviews. Anyway, this is a real reviews, and you can count on that! So I?m an actual Assara customer and I?m doing laser hair removal on my legs and underarms. The laser isn?t all that painful and the results are like science fiction? The hair is literally zapped away, and it doesn't grow back. And the technicians here are really cool. They?re very thorough. I know they say you can?t believe everything you read, but believe this review.

Pros: Very Thorough and Friendly Technicians

Posted 10/03/09

I?d like to write to review Assara laser center on 51st Street. I had my upper lip done yesterday and the results ara really great. No hair, soft skin only and it took literally 5 minutes.

Pros: Efficient!!

Posted 10/03/09

I just lasered my legs for the second time at Assara and I?m writing to say that they are really good. The place looks nice and clean and the laser techs really know what they?re doing. I came in with hairy legs and I left with smooth legs. Ask for Liz or Angela, they?re the best!

Pros: Courtesy Reminders of My Appointments

Posted 09/30/09

Hello. I would like to review my experience at Assara. The laser center on 51street. I lasered my back and shoulders. I am a man of a certain age (young and single at 47 years of age!). Lately I am noticing that women do not like the hair on me. They like me, but the more I ask about it the more they tell me it seems they would rather it was smooth and hair free. So I obliged and started a laser treatment to remove the hair. I am completely surprised and blown away, I mean, where did the hair go? After a lifetime of being the dark hairy man, I am a smooth lovable man once again. They are professional and courteous and I suggest you try them at Assara. Thank you.

Posted 09/30/09

I?m completing a laser treatment on my bikini and under arms and I?ve had the best summer! I didn?t ever have to do any last minute shaving or waxing and my skin is smooth? You won?t know the joy being hair free till you try lasering at Assara. Don?t wait? BE brave and try it! U won?t regret it.

Posted 09/09/09

So my dad had these annoying freaking nose hairs always sticking out. And me and my sister bought him a nose hair trimmer last Christmas? He laughed when he opened the present and then proceeded to leave the trimmer under the bathroom sink collecting dust. Did he even use it once?

Judging by his nose hair situation, I?d say it was never used. Anyway, we decided to get my dad a gift certificate for 1 laser hair removal treatment on his nose hairs. Thinking he would just take the certificate and never use it, we also booked him an appointment, which he actually showed up at. He was so surprised that it took only 5 minutes, and his freaking nose hairs never grew back. The laser girls at Assara told him this is not typical, usually it takes more than one treatment, but he?s got no more protruding nose hairs, and it?s 9 months later!
Thanks Assara.

Hi,

I just found out from my friend that it?s actually common to be burnt when you?re getting laser hair removal. When my friend told me this I was shocked because I?ve been lasering my legs and under arms at Assara for 6 months and I never had anything you could classify as a burn. So am I just lucky? Or do most people go to shoddy laser centres that don?t care enough about their clients? But Assara is a wonderfully consistent laser center where they take great care with their clients. If you?re been burned, like my friend, you owe it to yourself to try Assara.

Posted 09/09/09

I am currently suing another laser center in Manhattan because they burned me. I have pictures to prove it and my lawyer is confident I?ll get a nice settlement. You?d think since getting burned I?d never go under the laser again? But I found Assara and I started again. They are very trustworthy and careful with their lasers, the clinic is clean and they take all the right safety procedures? I?m almost done lasering and I?ll have hair free legs and bikini soon.

Posted 09/09/09

It seems a little too futuristic for me. But anyway, I was always getting ingrown hairs on my bikini and it ended up looking a little gross. Anyway, that was then this is now. I discovered that lasering is the only way (if you have a sensitive bikini line) to achieve a smooth hair free bikini area. Seriously, you?ll want to try it. I have zero ingrown hairs, zero red bumps and the hair does not grow anymore! What a /$%?&*! Miracle!

Posted 09/09/09

I?ve been researching laser prices for almost a month. I wanted to make sure I got the best deal before I signed up. I wanted to laser my bikini, legs, under arms and maybe upper lip and arms. The prices vary wildly from one place to another, so calling around is smart. But let me save you some time, Assara has the best price. They do this thing they call UNLIMITED where you can laser any part of your body as often as needed for $449 a month. Sounds like a lot of doe but if you?re paying $300 for legs, and $100 for upper lip and $200 for bikini? Well needless to say it adds up and the unlimited program is the most economical way to go. I?m only saying this to help? Don?t overpay for lasering, go to Assara.

Posted 09/09/09

Everyone cares about overspending, not one single person will knowingly pay too much for something. SO listen up, ?Cause I found out that there?s a whacked out overcharging scam at most laser places in the city. Most centres charge crazy high prices per area. So upper lip will be $100 per treatment and legs hundreds more, and bikini more hundreds. So you end up paying SO MUCH MONEY! It?s crazy.

Anyway I realized that if I signed up for this Assara unlimited program for $449 I could laser anything I wanted. So I go in once a month and do upper lip, under arms, bikini, legs? and even those little hairs on my toes! And it only costs $449. It might sounds expensive, but it?s the cheapest price around? Dare to compare guys; Assara is the most economical way to become hair free!

Posted 09/09/09

Assara offers the best price for full body treatment. Angela was my second technician there, and I'd strongly recommend that you request only her if you call for a consultation or a treatment. She is professional and makes the customer feel comfortable.

Posted 08/31/09

Wow? I just came back from my first laser facial at this place. Seriously, I have to say it was one of the coolest sensations I?ve had in a while. The facial was a gift so I don?t know how much it costed, but my skin looks amazing! The technician was really nice and she explained what it would feel like and what I could expect in the following days. My skin was a little red right after, but now (5 hours after) it looks so smooth and soft? My doorman said I was glowing?

Posted 08/23/09

I recently had a baby boy! Shortly after my pregnancy, however, I noticed new spider veins that started to climb and spread out around the back of my knees to my upper thighs. For me this was terrible because being pregnant was such a beautiful experience for me, but returning to normal size, weight and looks was also very important. I was reassured by all, including my dermatologist, that thew new spider veins might be temporary and disappear after childbirth. When that wasn't the case. I came to Assara to have a consultation on whether these spider veins could be removed. There, Will explained to me how spider veins are caused, and how a laser treatment could remove them. I scheduled a consult for myself. When I arrived, Angela welcomed me with a smile and the treatment I received was great! Today, I am spider vein free and feel comfortable enough to wear sundresses and shorts again without feeling self-conscious. Thanks Will and Angela. Tina B.

Pros: effective, great prices

Posted 08/17/09

Ever since I was a kid, and even now as an adult, I've eagerly anticipated the summer months. When I turned twenty-one, I started to approach the summer with a little anxiety. As I grew older, body hair that had suddenly begun to spring up on my body. It sometimes felt like I was wearing a winter coat. I was always to hot and sweaty. I went straight to my computer and googled "laser hair removal in NYC." The name that kept coming up was Assara Laser. The service was great and the staff were very professional. Today I am a lot cooler and not just because of the way I walk or what I wear. I no longer have hair on my arms, legs, back, chest and neck and things are way more chilled.

Pros: professional staff, excellent results

Posted 08/17/09

What I like about Assara is that they do things like a doctors office (I think they might even share the big clinic space with a doctor) everything is surgically clean and the laser techs wear lab coats and have clean hands. Of the few laser places I?ve been to I think Assara is the best.

Pros: clean, organized and effective

Posted 08/12/09

Since I?ve been on birth control I notices some dark spots on my face, I went o the dermatologist and he told me it?s caused by the pill. The spots get worse with exposure to the sun? So I bought some big floppy hats and figured that was al I could do and I had to live with the spots. Then I saw an ad for Assara and read how they can remove dark spots. I went in for 2 treatments and I have to say that the spots are so much lighter. My husband tells me that he can?t even see the spots anymore. I compared with a before picture and it?s true. The laser removed 90% of the dark spots. I recommend doing laser facial and microdermabrasion to really get the best results.

Pros: great looking skin

Posted 08/12/09

I would recommend Assara for laserin those very private areas. I had my bikini done and my boyfriend had his ?down there? done too? We thought the laser techs were pretty professional and always on time. They serve you quick in and out, which is good because we all have busy lives here in Manhattan!

Pros: professional techs

Posted 08/12/09

I saw this very modern looking laser place in Soho, some kind of Asian lasering they said. I am signed up at Assara but I went in anyway to check out the prices. WOW! I can?t believe how much more expensive they are! Assara is really the cheapest option. And it?s not only the price, which is good. The service is professional and they are very courteous. Don?t be fooled by slick marketing, Assara is the best!

Pros: courteous and professional

Posted 08/12/09

I went to Assara for laser treatment of my back hair. I am a 45-year-old man with a new younger girlfriend? So you can imagine the demands. She wanted me to have smooth shoulders. So I looked for the most cost effective convenient and professional laser clinic and came up with Assara. I?ve done 2 treatments and my shoulders are looking good.

Pros: prices, flexibility, location, friendly

Posted 08/12/09

I?m sitting here watching Rachael Ray and they?re doing a segment on women?s facial hair. They gave these 3 women all these crazy looking shavers and waxer and gadgets to remove the hair. 5.99$ for a facial buffer? Please. I had a little upper lip hair and some longer-than-I-would like sideburns and I decided to put an end to it by lasering it off as Assara. That?s the best way to remove facial hair girls!

Pros: effective, cost

Posted 08/12/09

I had a few spider veins on my legs after I gave birth and I didn?t want them! I read about using laser to remove them and called Assara. I went in for a treatment, it wasn?t really painful and the veins are gone! I?m so surprised with the results, I was skeptical, but I give the spider vein removal an A+.

Pros: effective

Posted 08/12/09

I too thought this place was going to be great and ignored the bad reviews. First off I was pretty much ignored when I first got there. Then the woman told me about the laser hair removal procedure (got some of the info wrong). I asked her to do a test patch, which she did. But when I told her I had had enough and to stop she kept going and said "I have to finish the test patch area". Seriously! I told her to stop and she didn't.
It was also very painful because she did not use the cooling aspect of the laser properly. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Rude, Ignores your wishes, Isn't fully knowledgeable, etc.

Posted 08/09/09

I have been doing laser hair removal for 12 years and I am at the point where I only have to laser my face 3-4 times per year. I choose to go to Assara due to the laser machine they use. It is a better machine then others I have used.

Pros: Convenient Location

Posted 08/06/09
