What it is

The treatment, plainly.

Laser hair removal targets pigment in the follicle during its growth phase, which is why it is honestly sold as a series: only a fraction of follicles are in that phase at any appointment. Six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart is the truthful arithmetic, and we put it in writing at the consult.

Skin tone determines physics. We treat a wide range of skin tones on appropriate wavelengths, always test-spot new clients, and adjust seasonally, because summer-tanned skin needs different settings than its January self.

Who it serves

Consider it for

  • Anyone done with shaving, waxing, and ingrowns
  • Underarms, legs, bikini area, back, chest, and face
  • Men's neckline and back work, a growing share of our laser book
  • Clients with darker skin tones seeking properly calibrated treatment
$95 / session starting point Small areas; series of six to eight recommended. Illustrative demo pricing.
The appointment

How it unfolds.

01

Consult and test spot

We confirm your skin type, review medications and sun exposure, and fire a test spot. Your realistic session count goes in writing.

02

The sessions

Each visit is quick: small areas in fifteen minutes, legs or back in forty-five. Expect a sensation like a warm rubber-band snap, softened by cooling.

03

The schedule

Sessions run four to eight weeks apart depending on the area. Hair sheds in the weeks after each visit and each round grows back finer and sparser.

What to expect after

Mild redness for a few hours is typical. Treated hair sheds over one to three weeks; do not wax between sessions (shaving is fine). Most clients see meaningful reduction from session three and lasting results after completing the series, with occasional maintenance visits.

The consult tells the truth the ads will not: it is a series, the count depends on your hair and skin, and we will give you the number in writing.

Asked at the consult

Laser hair removal, questioned.

The three questions every consult for this treatment includes, answered the way we answer them in the room.

Does it work on blonde or gray hair?

Poorly, and we will say so at the consult. The laser targets pigment; very light hair lacks the target. We would rather decline than sell you a series that cannot work.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Yes, on the right wavelength with conservative settings and a test spot. Ask any studio which device they use for deeper skin tones before you book anywhere, including here.

How should I prep?

Shave the area the day before, arrive without lotions, and avoid sun and self-tanner for two weeks prior. We will confirm the full list at booking.
