Yet another fantastic session with Brianna. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, or ALite. Fantastic service from the loveliest professionals in the most cozy establishment. Thank you!! read more

I can't recommend it enough for any laser needs! They are extremely knowledgeable and do an amazing job. Brittany is wonderful! read more

Alite Laser - Central Austin - waiting area - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Austin, Texas

So far I've been to two appoints for laser hair removal on my underarms and I'm pretty happy. The prices here have been great compared to other spots I've shopped around. You walk into a small lobby that cute and clean with plenty of hand sanitizer available. I ended up getting there a little early the first time and told the front desk person I had an appointment in about 10 mins. I was told to just sit in the waiting area. After only a couple of mins, a tech came to the front to take me to a room and have our consult. The first part was a straightforward process about what I should expect for my first ever laser treatment and any warnings and disclaimers I needed. They also tell you then that tips are expected for their services. Someone mentioned this is weird since you can't be sure of the results until days later. I didn't really get it, but my tech was cool and super fast so I can't really complain. I didn't see results until about a full week, and it was pretty nice. This is where I'll keep going for the rest of my treatments, and might take a look at what else they offer. read more

Absolutely incredible staff make this place the best in Austin. Had laser and wax done and could not be happier. Everyone is friendly and professional from the front desk to the technicians. Highly recommend! read more

Chelsea and Brunie are both AMAZING! They have kept me managed for almost 15 years? Dang! I am an intermittent type of guy- just in for touch ups but every visit is as good as the past one. Knowledgeable and clean- just love this business and the fact the team has been there so long- it has to be a gem! See ya'll soon!! read more

I've had a good treatment, but the last one missed random strips of hair. They were going too fast. On top of that, they ask you to tip (15%+) of the total treatment cost. Rather than baking this price in, they have decided it's appropriate to treat a cosmetic procedure like a dinner at Chili's, even though you don't know how good (or bad) the outcome is for a week and a half after. read more

I just moved back to the area and needed to find an electrolysis with the latest technology. Over the past several years my previous electrologist in Chicago used the Apilus which is the latest and greatest, but due to the cost of the machine, it can be trying to find an electrologist that has updated equipment. While I get that electrolysis may be outdated it has been proven to be the ONLY form of permanent hair removal. While laser is faster, from my research, the costs are about the same and if I am paying that kind of money, I want it all gone and permanently! After doing electrolysis to rid yourself of the first round of hairs, it then becomes a waiting game for hair growth which is why sometimes you may not have another appt for months and also why it takes longer than laser. Over the years I have had hair removed from my chin, underarms, vagina, and mustache and the hair has been permanently eliminated. Having said all of that, I had a great experience at Alite, the tech was also very knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend them. read more

My first time getting laser hair treatment was here and I fell in love! I got a brazilian and the hair did not grow back for almost 6 weeks. I do wish I wouldve shaved my hair down more than I did, so just some advice, get as low as you can before going in! I will be going back very soon! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Brittney, BRI, Chelsea, Carissa, Crystal.. okay, they're ALL my FAVES! I have received a couple laser hair removal treatments elsewhere.. but Brittney really made me feel more comfortable than my experiences in the past. She was very thorough during my consultation with pre & post care! She reminded me of things I had forgotten in the past! Her speed and efficiency really impressed me. I was very nervous about the pain of the underarms since it was my first session on that area, but Brittney made my experience as quick and comfortable as possible. Hands down, best laser experience so far! Following my laser treatment, I had an amazing Hydrafacial with Crystal! It was so relaxing and OMG MY SKIN LOOKS AMAZING!!! My pores were SO congested... and now my skin is GLOWING and BREATHING!!! She walked me thru a very thorough consultation prior to treatment and talked me through the different serums she was using and why.. I learned a lot and the results don't lie. Everyone here is SO good at what they do and the prices are VERY REASONABLE. I don't see myself going anywhere else. read more

I thought about attaching a photo but well.......you know the rest. Just know I am baby smooth. (unsure if that's an appropriate description) BUT!!!- IYKYK!! I have been coming here for years. It's been a regular part of my grooming routine for so long and I'm not sure where I'd be without it. I used to shave and we all know how that turns out so then I tried the wax thing. That was a little too uncomfortable for me. I literally hobbled out of there partially smooth. Thankfully at that time I was single and didn't have to worry about what anyone would think. (But could you imagine???) Brunie has been my tech since the beginning and I couldn't imagine life without her now. Laser hair removal used to scare me but after my waxing experience, I figured it couldn't get any worse than that. It may be a little uncomfortable but definitely not like waxing and only for a second. And if your tech has great convo you end up forgetting what's going on at all. It's the best form of self care I could've ever chosen! If you are wondering whether it's a good investment or not, please please please, just do it! read more

Been coming here and seeing crystal for couple months now! I get microneedling done often and my experience been so amazing! I've done microneedling done before meeting crystal and it would be so uncomfortable that I would never wanna go back again! Since seeing crystal it's been a breeze. I constantly get compliment on my skin! My acne scars are GONE! And barely feel any discomfort during the treatment! Highly recommended! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. They seriously burned my skin and now I have scars all over my arm. On January 22nd I got laser on my arms. I have had the treatment for years (in a different salon in California) I noticed that something was off this time, my skin was too red (picture 1) The technician Brittney did not treat my concerns. My arm was abnormally red and she said that it was a histamine reaction. After a few days I was not getting any better I called them, and the technician kept on saying that it was a allergic and advised me to use cortisone. My arm was getting worse by the day. I smartly decided to look for a dermatologist appt, , but I the fastest appt was in 2 weeks. Alite laser was responsive during this time a guy name Paul responded most of my emails, text and calls, but they failed to tell me to seek for medical attention, in retrospective, I should have done this after day one. Alite kept on telling me that the marks "will go away" or they could offer me a peeling treatment to remove it (trying to sell me more stuffs ridiculous!) With my wedding day coming up, Ive been panicked, And cried a lot, I was looking for hair removal and ended up with scars. I called them one more time and asked for advice and explanation, they shipped me a cream that would "help" me. FF I finally got the dr. appt, she confirmed that I suffer first degree burns and cortisone made things worse. She prescribed me a compounded cream to treat my hyperpigmentation generated by the burns. The marks do not go way by themselves as alite laser said. I asked for my money back while I look for legal advice. But all this experience has been a nightmare. They destroyed my wedding plans read more

See all

First time at this place. I appreciate that they're transparent about their prices (unlike so many LHR places.) I saw Brittney. She was kind, professional and thorough. Also when I called to book, I spoke to Katelyn. She was super sweet and patient with all my questions. read more

I will never go anywhere else! Their prices are very decent and the staff are very friendly. And my results are amazing!! Thank you Alite Lasser! read more

You HAVE to go to Brittney James. She's amazing and extremely friendly, I genuinely look forward to coming and catching up with her. Great vibes and amazing results read more

holy amazing grail of brazilian waxes. I came to this place yesterday and I never EVER post reviews so quickly but I had to say this place is worth giving a visit because it's so freaking good. My appointment was at 4:45pm but I was running late because I hadn't realized my appointment was at 4:45!! (I thought it was at 5pm) but I had gotten several text reminders so I don't even know how that slipped my mind/: Anyway, fast forward to when I get there at 5pm and they're kind of in a rush because their schedule was full, and told me that I'd have time for a bikini but not a brazilian and I was ): because I really wanted a brazilian and so they tell me my paperwork can wait till afterwards, and instead just go straight to the waxing. My aesthetician's name started with a B (i think) but I didn't quite catch it because we were all in a rush of course, and let me just say, it was probably the best brazilian I have ever received. I walked out of Alite at 5:12pm so satisfied. My aesthetician was super efficient and thorough, she got right down to business and started just waxing. It definitely hurt a little because of the speed, but I really didn't mind as long as the job was being done. Let me tell you, I have been to Brazilia on Guad (they specialize in 15 minute brazilians) and this experience was like 20x better. It was honestly less painful, more thorough, and I didn't have bumps or anything afterward! (for reference, brazilia charges $75 for their waxes and alite is only $65 and it was a much much better experience) I think they use really good quality wax and the temperature was just right. For the smaller hairs, they use a different type of wax (I'm assuming soft wax?) and she even plucked amidst the time crunch. I really honestly didn't feel all that rushed and I am so happy with the results, I am more than likely to be back. Probably the quickest, cleanest brazilian I have ever received in my life. THANK YOU!! read more

Prices are INSANE (in the best way). I adore Chelsea! She's so sweet and efficient.

I'm so happy here. I have done my treatment for 2 years for my shadow mustache and now I look more youthful.

UHMMMM Laser hair removal?! uhm YES!! We loved being able to partner with Alite Laser Hair Removal for our holiday gift card exchange. The way the hair actually does not grow back fast, the way that there is no pain, the way that we are coming back!! We loved it and hope to partner with them again! Thank you! read more

Casey is a magnificent laser hair removal technician! She has amazing bedside manner, and always makes sure your doing okay throughout your service. I also love that the office is always clean, and has a lovely fragrance floating around in the main waiting area that changes seasonally. It's a wonderful office all around, and I'm happy I found them. read more

2 stars because the staff was nice, but complete waste of money... very patchy and I don't feel they went high enough so I would have to keep going back. I just needed touch-ups but it's really no difference. read more

This is THE place to get laser hair removal! Last year was my first time ever getting laser hair removal so I was super nervous, but Chelsea assured me I was in good hands. I kid you not when I tell you I trust Chelsea with every part of my body. That women works magic. She's attentive, kind, caring and does an IMMACULATE job. I refer all my friends to her because she truly knows what she's doing. I wouldn't trust anyone else but her!!! read more

This is a long overdue review- I've been going to Alite since 2012, first in RoundRock then the downtown location. Dawn is amazing- and very sweet! The girls upfront at the downtown location are sweethearts! I received laser hair removal at other places when I first started my (no hair journey) and it would never work. It's worked every time at Alite. read more

I have PCOS so my hair growth is abnormal for a female. I've spent the majority of my life dealing with thick hair that is painful to shave and leaves razor burn literally every single time. Facial hair is another symptom of PCOS and even waxing allowed the thick hairs to grow back over time. Carissa has been taking care of me with laser treatments in all of the areas I was really self conscious about. I could not be happier! My confidence has been boosted greatly! And knowing I don't have to shave every single time I walk out of the door in a dress or shorts is such a great feeling! read more

I found Alite Laser on yelp. I have had two laser hair removal treatments on three areas. I am so pleased with the professionalism at Alite. The staff is kind and extremely helpful. They take time on each area and go at the pace you need. Even though it's painful, they keep your mind off the pain. I also enjoy how they take the time to get to know you. I 100% recommend this place for laser hair removal treatments. I am already seeing results & I can't wait for the final results. read more

All the techs here do amazing work!! The staff is super friendly, and helpful. If you keep up with treatment, and follow what the technician recommends, you will see amazing results. read more

Casey did my laser hair removal today and I couldn't be more pleased with the results or the experience. I was a little nervous that it would be awkward since it was my first time, but it was quite the opposite! Rather than feeling like a random stranger was spreading my buttcheeks, it was like an old friend was trying to help a sister out. A+ conversation and minimal pain-- 10/10 would do again. read more

The appointment was easy to make and I was given information prior to coming in oh what to expect. The procedure was quick and very effective. Looking forward to working on other areas soon. read more

I've been going to Crystal for a few years now for electrolysis and have seen amazing results. She's incredibly professional and always makes me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend her services at Alite Laser. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating as well. read more

Customer service is awful. I went here to look into hair removal and I parked my car and took a phone call before I went in and I walked away for 2 minutes and I came back and the lady at the salon came out and said I couldn't just leave my car there as I tried to tell her I was about to come in she said that she called a tow truck and I parked like a jack ass...I was with in the lines and that's no way to speak to someone. I couldn't believe the way she spoke to me. It was so rude and she was very confrontational. I can't imagine how they treat would customers if a problem arose considering they treat a stranger this way. read more

I've been to see Valerie for sound therapy a few times now. Each time, she has taken extra care to make sure I'm getting the precise treatment my body needs. Her personalized care is something not commonly found these days. The time and effort she gives is unparalleled. When I visited last, the Tibetan singing bowls were a beautiful addition to the service I had before. This woman wants to heal and she's good at it! read more

Love coming in to see Dawn. She is a skin genius. I do a series of chemical peels, hydra facials, and mini facials. I would highly recommend the PCA oxygen trio facial. My skin looked looks amazing. I also enjoy seeing Chelsea for cupping. I love how it helps circulate and remove toxins. I can always tell afterwards that I'm not as sluggish and I sleep much better after a treatment. I also love how relaxed Crystal makes me feel during my electrogist appointment. She also does the cellulite reduction treatment and I like the deep tissue massage aspect. I think next time I'll be brave and to do a stronger cellulite level. Highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great experience here! Reasonable prices and very informative staff members. I am so happy I found them for my laser hair removal needs. Highly recommend! read more

So I've been wondering what the best way is to review subjugation of your parts and pieces to someone for a period of months to over a year ..?.. I mean they are singeing your stuff excessively and they are staring at it constantly. :O First let me say something that I hope does not even need to be said: please do not put your stuff in front of just anyone who waves around a wand and calls it a laser (or anything else for that matter). And especially do not put your stuff in front of just anyone who acts like they know how to use it! Do NOT get prissy-ed into charming Laser Vader at Oui' Oui' Frenchie joke spa who does not know what they're doing and can't prove otherwise. (Let the track record show, Alite has been doing it just the way it should be done, ladies and gentlemen.) :/ With all that said, my stuff is VERY happy. My stuff is neat. Always. All the time. Prettier than ever actually. And I don't have to do much of anything. Yep it's expensive and yep it's uncomfortable to get zapped - especially in certain places, but I have yet to meet anyone who has regretted getting it done. You will have to go back for touch ups at some point (every few years?) if you become spoiled like me. I now only spot shave every few months to keep up the beautiful work of Chelsea. :-) I feel confident in telling you that Alite Laser will not leave your stuff burned and smoldering in a pile in the corner or all out in the open for the world to see. (I don't even think they talk about it when you leave either.) Everyone is professional - though some front desk people seem indifferent - and I can tell you that Chelsea pays special attention to detail as required for a permanent procedure. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 though - because their building smells. A lot. All over. From the second you walk in. I know that sounds stupid but it's a really nasty moldy dampy grossy smell that does not go away. My stuff all out does not do well with eau de moldy. :O Guess what? Since this review, they have renovated a bit and no more stanky!!! read more

After my previous post, the owner of Alite contacted me to apologize for my experience. She very professionally and politely explained why my experience may have been less than stellar and offered me a free wax as well as a free underarm laser session just to try it out! I knew they had only recently opened that location and it's understandable that they had some kinks to work out. So, I decided to give them a second try - and hey, how can I turn down a free wax session? I made my appointment with Brunie and she was great! Very friendly, very professional, and definitely paid attention to detail. I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience and left a very happy customer. I can't say that I will come back for a laser treatment (For me, waxing is less painful than the laser. But I think most people prefer laser over waxing) but they definitely won me over this time! Plus, I always love when the owners of a business contact customers personally if there is a problem. To me, that is an indication of their genuine concern for their clients and I really appreciate that. read more

I've been coming to Alite Laser before I made my move here from LA. I've been seeing Brunie for 4 years now. She's extremely sweet and professional. I try to send as many people here as possible. Great prices Great staff Amazing confirmation system Easy checkout Great seasonal specials Easy parking Pet friendly read more

So much love for these ladies. They accomodate last minute changes on the fly if necessary, the receptionists have always been so friendly and parking has never been difficult (a rarity for downtown). When your only choices for under your arms and your lady parts are being hairy like a yeti or having razor burned skin like a plucked chicken, suddenly the idea of laser hair removal sounds a lot more appealing. And when everyone I know asks me what I think, I say... WHY oh WHY didn't I do this sooner?! NO MORE dark pigments underneath my arms. NO MORE nasty razor burn. NO MORE forgetting to shave or buying razors or using every snake oil under the sun to keep from getting my sensitive skin irriated. NO MORE keeping shaving razors in my glove box because I always miss that one spot that will bug me all day! Another common question--Did it hurt? Yes and no. Yes there were some creases under my arms stat stung a bit, but my technicians are always ready with a cool cloth and aloe to minimize the sting. The first session is always the most startling, but by your second and third.... its practically nothing! Stupid reasonable prices and great technicians. Even better results. If you've ever contemplated having laser hair removal done, this is the place. Everyone is different in their pain tolerance levels, but a good technician and current technology should not make you want to have the better part of your tech's face underneath your fingernails. read more

I see two ladies here: one for laser hair removal (Bruni) and the other for electrolysis (Valerie). They are both very competent and pleasant, and I think their services are really helping with my annoying hair. I am a biological blonde, so I have some hairs that are too light to get great results with a laser, which is why I am getting some areas treated with electrolysis. It's a bit more time-consuming than laser treatments, but a bit cheaper (per session, but smaller areas). Valerie is very thorough and as gentle as she can be while sticking me with a super-fine needle and shocking me. :-) I've had three treatments now and I think I've "turned a corner" in terms of regrowth. The upside is that I can go less often. The downside is that I won't be hanging out chatting with Valerie as much, which is a pity as she is quite nice! For my darker hairs, I see Bruni and her laser (cue the sound effects-- pew! pew! pew!). I've only had two treatments, but they do seem to be working pretty well. It's uncomfortable, but not painful. I just take an Aleve beforehand and then I am set! The spa itself is pretty nice. Good sized waiting area with current magazines and "informational" (read as: persuasive) glossies about the services offered, and a pleasant front-desk staff. There are also a few dedicated parking spots in front, as well as some street parking, which is a good thing in this area between UT and the Cap. Overall, I'd be comfortable recommending this place to anyone looking for longterm hair reduction. read more

I gotta say it: Alite Laser went far above and beyond my expectations. I just finished my last session there (well, I'll be returning for touch-up sessions very once in a while..but that's it), and the results were just as promised. Can I just tell you how pleased I am about this?!! Brunie is a damn fine woman. The reviews/ravings about her are true; the woman knows her hair-removal stuff. She's got the kind of bedside manner that you won't find at a standard ghetto bikini-wax joint. (I'd be lying if I said I haven't gone to a few of those in Austin, in pre-Alite days). She was able to distract me from the lasering process itself - not really painful, more just uncomfortable. It kind of feels like someone snapping a tiny rubber band on you. And it's over in less than five minutes, with less pain than waxing. I rated it as pricey because laser hair-removal is a pricey service in general. But if we're talking about Alite in relation to the other places in town that offer this service, it's comparable in price. And I think they do the best job (I did my research of laser quality, technician training, and every other factor you can possibly imagine. I do my due diligence :)). I'll definitely be a return customer to Alite. I thank yelp for helping me find this place--I'm obsessed with it! read more

I've had laser hair removal in three different cities, with about 6 different technicians (please forgive me if this is not the proper term; I believe you must be a recognized nurse to operate these machines). All I have to say is, DAWN IS THE BEST and her machine is wonderful. This woman has ten years of experience doing this work and she takes it very seriously. Just a note: Laser hair removal has only been around for a little over 10 years, so her understanding is far more developed than other people I've worked with. Technicians who do this work really range in commitment to the patient having a great experience and getting their 'money's worth.' I've worked with people who really don't care how thorough of a job they do and they're not that concerned about your comfort; one technician would book me for 15 to 20 minutes and rush through my face. I knew she wasn't thorough. Dawn, on the other hand, programs her machine to give a little puff of easy to wipe off paint, so that with each area lasered she knows exactly where she left off. Since I have experience with laser hair removal, she didn't hold back from turning up the machine to make sure she was really getting at the hair follicles. And finally, the machine she uses bursts a shot of cool air with each step, making the whole thing a LOT less painful than with other machines. I'm excited to stick with Dawn, and with Alite Laser Hair Removal. read more
