Incredible

by Sprink504 at Citysearch

I bought a Groupon for the Laser Hair Removal and I am extremely impressed with my results! In total I have spent $598 on all six of my treatments and that included their gratutity. I saved myself $1,202! I couldn't believe that for one session it was $300 and I got 6 for $297. I really hope they come out with another deal soon. At these prices I can afford to have my whole body hair free. Their staff is amazing and they know what they are doing. I will be back not only for the laser treatments but for a long needed facial.

Terrible and dishonest

by ambras1973 at Citysearch

This place is a trap! I bought the Groupon for laser hair removal for $89 and it ended up costing an extra $170 because they charged me a $21.50 tip for each visit AND i paid $40 for some bogus "doctor" to be on location whom I never saw!!! They are crooked for days, and to make matters worse, their technology is outdated so now I still have the hair I paid $260 to have removed. I got my $89 from Groupon but not a penny from the bogus "clinic" and when on my last treatment I told them I didn't see any change in my hair, they tried to sell me another package! They are GARBAGE to be avoided like the plague.

Keratin Special

by Dakota2011 at Citysearch

I bought the $99 Keratin Treatment that Amber Skin was offering and I have to say it was the best purchase I have made in a very long time. Their hairstylist, Flor is incredible very sweet, knowlegdable and welcoming. I have really unmangable hair and when Flor finished I was totally amazed! I was told not to wash my hair for 4 days after and when I did it was just as nice. I will be back that is for sure!

First and Last Time

by Investigative Reporter at Citysearch

I attempted to use this provider for six (axillary) laser hair removal treatments in response to a Living Social promo earlier this year. I have not used their other services which seem to be very good. Past reviewers are correct, they charge a ‘medical consult’ fee. When I was there the form to be signed was a checklist regarding the client’s perception of their own skin type. This is done to appear in compliance with State law which regulates operation of medical devices. The lobby was bustling with new clients in response to the promo and an unidentified male (from “Corporate”) was circulating the room collecting the ‘medical consult’ forms. The spa may have a professional affiliation with a doctor, but there was no actual exam by a dermatologist.

Laser treatments were administered without a lidocaine -type topical anesthetic. What was claimed to be an aloe vera gel was applied immediately before treatment. The laser pulses were almost unnoticeable unlike other effective treatments I’ve had with lidocaine-based anesthetics. Based on my observation, a low pulse setting was used. Not surprisingly, most if not all of the dark, non-graying hair in the treated areas returned. I also requested specific areas be focused on due to areas starting to gray which would not respond to the laser. She refused to do so, stating she had to do the 'entire' area. This was suspect as unpigmented hair follicles respond poorly to laser treatment.

After each treatment the front desk employee added an exorbitant 'tip' (approx. 10% of the total package fee) to the 3 minute session (not disclosed in the Living Social promo), and tried to charge duplicate tax on the full cost of the package. Note that the tax on packages was collected, along with the ‘medical’ fee, prior to the initial treatment.

Amber Skin Spa has the equipment to perform effective laser hair removal treatments - when they elect to do so. Use caution and stay alert if you decide to use this facility.

The ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE

by snowite at Citysearch

The Absolute BEST Place for Laser Hair Removal!!!! I take laser hair removal verrry seriously which is why I have done a ton of research on laser companies in ORLANDO... Amber Skin Laser Center is the BEST, They have extremely affordable prices which are on their website and the tree therapist are Great !!! Alla, Erin and Viviana, are CERTIFIED and have done over 3000 laser hair removal treatments between the tree of them... Experience is KEY when you are getting something like this done. I have had about 4 laser hair removal sessions on my legs and Brazilian, I would say about 75% of my hair is gone.. These girls are extremely professional and they know what they're doing!
