Assara Laser Hair Removal Midtown

Unlike most customers/reviewers for laser hair removal, I'm a guy. I've signed up for the "Unlimited" monthly plan and I love it. Here's why... Assara is located in the heart of midtown, right next to Rockefeller Center. It's right next to three subway lines. The office is discreet and never crowed. They have two clean, private treatment rooms just outside the waiting area. They have the Cynosure Elite laser system (among others). This laser is designed for the majority of skin tones/types out there. I have olive skin (not Caucasian or African American) and the laser works well on it - amazing results. The laser is effective and quick - most treatment sessions last about 45 minutes. And the most important thing - the laser technicians. Liz and Angela are professionals. They know the laser system well and will answer all your questions during the initial consultation. They have experience treating all areas of the body (even those sensitive areas for guys or gals) and will give you helpful advise before, during and after the treatment (don't underestimate this point). I have already and will continue to recommend Assara to my friends. Men shouldn't be embarrassed to look into this treatment - you'll be happy with the results. Pros: Convenient location, courteous service, new equipment more

I just finished a 7 month treatment at Assara. I'm disappointed that competitors are posting fake derogatory reviews here. It shows badly on them and on citysearch. How can real new yorkers get info when there's all this fake info here? Let me give you some straight info... I was a customer of their unlimited plan. That meant I pay $499 a month and I can laser every body part I want. The staff have a lot of experience, they are licenced estheticians and laser specialistst. The prices are very good, if you call around, you'll see that they price the lowest for services, and they do great work. I know 2 of the technicians at Assara personally, they have treated me, I know they work hard and are good people, so it makes me sad when I read mean spirited reviews like the one below... Bottom line... I've been an Assara customer for 7 months and I'm 100% satisfied. And that's news you can use. Happy holidays! Pros: central location, knowlegaeble staff, clean office more

My fried who?s a modern dancer had laser hair removal last year and she was so happy about it she never shut up about it! Then I couldn?t? believe my ears when I heard Kelly Rippa say on Regis & Kelly the other day that she did laser hair removal too. Now everyone is doing it! Knowing that real moms and honest celebs have done laser hair removal made me more comfortable. It sounded too high tech or extreme but I?ve done it twice now and it?s amazingly easy and now my hair grows back much slower and lighter and in small patches?. A HUGE improvement over my old dark hairy days! If you?re hesitant about laser google it and you?ll see how many ?normal? people have done it! (Including me lol jk) more

I always read online reviews before I book a hotel. I didn?t know that there were reviews for places that do laser hair removal. It turned out to be really helpful because I?ve been thinking of doing some areas on my body but there seem to be so many laser places in Manhattan and I didn?t know how to make head?s or tails of all of them. Anyway, I read some reviews on a couple sites about Assara and figured that if all those people wrote favourably about them, they must be good. So I went in for a consultation and it was very good. I met with Angela. She was very pleasant. The place is clean and the girls who do the lasering are very polite and professional. I know you can?t always believe online reviews, but this place lives up to a lot of the glowing positive things people have said. more

I looked in to laser hair removal a couple years ago, but the prices were ridiculous. It would have cost me $9,000 to laser my body. At that price I decided to continue shaving, waxing and plucking. I saw an ad for Assara and it said $449 a month and you can laser every body part you want. (I did: upper lip, arms, underarms, bikini and legs). At that price you can even do little areas like toes and nipples that sprout little hairs too. Very cool for me, indeed. Pros: Their blog helped me make an informed decision more

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 more

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 more

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! more

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. more

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. more

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. more

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 more

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 more

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. more

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. more

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. more

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. more

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 more

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. more

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. more
