I have wanted laser hair removal for years; but as an African American woman, I wasn't sure where to go or how my skin would react to laser hair removal treatment. I tried a few radio advertised places, you know, trusting that the place must be awesome; boy was I wrong! Going on trial with a few places, I found the experience painful AND it left scaring on my skin. Obviously, not all Laser Technicians are created equal. THANKFULLY, a great friend referred me to VALERIE B. at Alite Laser Hair Removal. She is so AWESOME and great at what she does. She took the discomfort out of the experience AND I have never seen a scar/bruise!! My smooth-hairless brown body parts thank her! I love her spirit and she always does a great job. Now that I know what life is like with great laser hair removal service; I never want to discover life without it again! Thanks for keeping women and men alike, beautiful and confident in Austin Val!! Folks of different ethnicities, if you are searching for a place to go for hair removal laser services that will yield you great results....look no further. Alite is professional and has great services. I would recommend Val any day! :) read more

I have been here five times now for everything from bikini wax, laser hair removal, and electrolysis. I am never disappointed. The services are great with competitive pricing. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. read more

I had my first laser hair removal appointment with Liz yesterday. After 10 years of getting brazilian waxes, this was like a DREAM. Liz is so professional, and puts you at ease right away, explains the process in great detail, and I really appreciated her chatting with me as a lovely little distraction technique throughout the whole process. I am so glad I finally tried laser hair removal! I am so excited to not have to go through the pain of a wax on a monthly basis. The pain from laser is NOTHING compared to getting waxed. I mean, you will feel it, but the whole process took only 15 minutes or so. Make an appointment with Liz today, it will change your life! read more

I've been going to Alite for over 5 years! Love this place and the staff especially Valerie and Brunnie. Laser hair removal treatments I can't imagine living without! read more

I went in to get laser hair removal today by Casey and she is the best! I feel so comfortable with her every time and love the results!

This is an update, I have had 5 session so far and I am loving it. The feeling of not having to shave is great. I love Chelsea she is the best and always have a great conversation with her. Their level of service is consistent and they are very professional. read more

I, like so many women, was getting tired of spending so much time fighting against nature in order to be hairy in only the right places. I'm a blond but noticed that my underarms and bikini area seemed darker in color. I'd always been told that blonds can't get lasered. So I set up an appointment with Valerie at Alite Laser to find out what's up. Good news and great results! Valerie was super knowledge, thorough and sweet as can be. This is personal grooming and can be embarrassing and painful. But with Valerie I felt right at ease. I would highly recommend going to see her. And if you're a blond like me, 'no' might not be the final answer. Go check her out! read more

I suffer from what the ancient Romans referred to as "Gorillacus maximus follicus," or what you may know in English as, "hairy monkey-boy syndrome." Thankfully, I found Valerie at Alite, who is curing me of this tragic, tragic disease. I'd gotten a couple of laser treatments about 10 years ago, when this was a relatively new technology for hair removal. After two outrageously expensive sessions and zero results, I gave up -- DOOMED to groom my chest and back hair sweater for the rest of my days. Fortunately, a friend told me laser removal has progressed significantly and I ended up at Alite. I went in and the place is way zen from the moment you walk into the entry way. The entire place is calm and soothing. I ended up with an appointment with Valerie, who is way cool, very chill, and knows exactly what she's doing. This is important, of course, because letting someone remove an Amazonian hair jungle from your body is a very personal thing, so it's important to have someone who you are comfortable with doing the job. Not only are Alite's rates very reasonable, Valerie is awesome, and I'm already seeing some dramatic results in my lifelong battle against the Hair Beast. Go see Valerie and get the monkey off your back! read more

The place is very clean. The assistants are very professional and very approachable. This place is simply great. read more

Nothing different than the other 5 star reviews. Brunie is amazing! The central austin location is very clean, everyone is very nice and professional, and the prices are far lower than they should be given the incredible treatment and quality you receive here. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I recommend to anyone, especially those getting laser for the first time, they make sure you're calm and confident. Couldn't be happier so far! read more

I went to Alite Laser after buying a Groupon for a Brazilian wax. When I called to make the appointment, the scheduler was super informative, and really nice. This was my first time ever to get a brazilian wax and she was very helpful, answering all my questions and addressing my concerns about the procedure. On the day of my appointment, I walked in and the front desk staff greeted me right away. I filled out some paperwork and waited for only 5 minutes to be seen. Dawn then introduced herself and we had a consultation about my interest in laser hair removal. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. THEN, the waxing began. I have to be honest and warn you first timers that it is extremely painful, BUT Dawn was absolutely amazing, engaging in conversation with me and keeping my mind off the pain. IT REALLY MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE! I scheduled my next appointment with Dawn (they like to keep you with the same person, awesome!) four weeks from that day. I am pretty excited because students get 60% off which is a major plus. I recommend Alite Laser 100% You will have a great experience, no doubt about it. read more

Just finished my second laser treatment and again had an excellent experience. Both technicians I have had are very skilled and sensitive to my needs. Whoever thinks laser is not worth the money should reassess. (I put it off for years thinking it was a luxury for movie stars.) The first treatment at Alite (as in first time for each area) is $60. When the hair eventually grows back (about a month later) it is much, much softer and lighter. It's too early to know, but I truly think I will only need to get each area done 2x maybe 3x total (that's minimal to no shaving in between) and then will be hair-free. As others have testified, it's much less painful than waxing and i can't believe I wasted so much money on that in the past. read more

Valerie's B. is a badass and she has lasers and knows how to use them. Her calming personality and quick wit take all the awkwardness, if any, out of the experience . And she knows her spa stuff which puts me more at ease when I'm trusting somebody to shoot me with lasers. I haven't had to shave in months! It's amazing! And so is Valerie!! read more

I have always hated shaving my legs and armpits! It is great to just throw on a bathing suit when a last minute pool trip happens! I always go to Valerie and she makes me feel so comfortable in a situation that would otherwise be uncomfortable! She is so good even my husband goes to her for his... eh hem... manscaping! I love this place! I have only gotten 6 sessions and I have 0 hair left on my legs and armpits. read more

I have been so pleased with the outcome of getting laser hair removal. It has changed my life. I have gone to VALERIE at Alite for over a year now. She is professional, knowledgeable, and most of all, gets the job done! I have tried other places and they just don't have the technology that Alite has. Valerie knows how to use the machines to their potential and is always careful and precise. She takes her job very seriously but has a great sense of humor. I mean, you kinda have to get personal with your technician and she makes you feel comfortable getting down to your skivvies! read more

I absolutely love this place!!! The staff is incredible!!! They are so sweet, and kind. I've never enjoyed getting hair removed so much.lol Do this for yourself ladies and gents! In the end, it's much cheaper and less time consuming than waxing. I heart you Alite!!! read more

Everyone is so nice! Brunie is so sweet and makes laser hair removal so easy and you don't feel awkward.

This is my first time with laser hair removal and I was so nervous! Dawn is amazing- so calming, cool, and the results are outstanding! The prices at Alite are extremely competitive and the offices friendly and clean. I would recommend Dawn at Alite to everyone! read more

Highly recommend - ask for Dallis- laser doesn't hurt here in any part of body ! Tell them Meredith Carpenter sent u!!

I had laser hair removal done on my legs. Chelsea is soooo nice. I went in for 6 sessions and am very happy with the results. I highly recommend Alite for laser hair removal. read more

Kind front desk service. Knowledgeable staff. I recommend Brunie Drumond for laser hair removal, she makes your appointment as enjoyable as possible. read more

It's not an easy task to put someone at ease while lasering "very sensitive" areas, but Valerie B is so warm and graceful that she does just that. She makes sure her clients are ready for the laser and aware of its settings. If you're looking into getting laser hair removal but feel shy or afraid of pain, you will be so happy you have found Valerie at Alite. read more

I have been seeing Valerie for laser hair removal on my bikini area, legs and underarms. She always makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable, asking how I'm feeling throughout the whole session. We have great conversations and she's really good at distracting me when she starts zapping my shins-this is my least favourite area and before I know it she's moved on to a new area! I am extremely happy with the results and only regret not having come to Alite sooner. You will love how everyone is friendly from the moment you walk in to the other estheticians you may pass in the hall and you will LOVE your smooth skin. read more

I started using Alite after I bought a Group on for laser hair removal-- best thing ever! I've seen Liz and Dawn and the process has always been quick, easy, and painless-- well maybe a little sting but not any worse than waxing! I love that they are so organized, always call to remind me of appointments, I never have to wait, and everyone works hard to make sure I'm comfortable. read more

Bernie is awesome! Affordable prices. Don't wait check it out.

Went to the Onion Creek location as it was closest to me. Liz is my tech. Seriously could not be happier about the whole process. Easy to find, clean calm soothing environment. Quick and easy. The results are beyond amazing. I used to have to shave my armpits every day, sometimes twice a day. Went to MAYBE once every few weeks after the first treatment. WOW. I had my armpits, bottom of legs and brazilian done. It took little less than an hour. Could probably have been done faster but I was busy chatting with Liz.. Yep you heard me right, I chat with Liz like she is my best friend. She is incredibly professional but yet makes you feel like its just to best friends hanging out and burning hair off :) I highly recommend going to get a treatment. They have incredible pricing, and do not demand up front payment for full services. They have a pay as you go kind of service and had I known that, I would have gone so much sooner. read more

This was my first time having any laser hair removal treatment. I could not be happier :) I found the office very clean, all the staff very knowledgeable and a very effective procedure. I highly recommend Alite! read more

I have been going to Alite for a while now. The appointment booking lady mis-billed me, but the manager was quick in her response and resolved the matter very well. They are a good group of people with integrity. read more

An absolutely excellent service (Brazilian wax) with great results and extremely friendly, professional and welcoming staff! Will most definitely be coming back. Thank you! read more

Best Spray Tan in Austin!! I have had many all around but the color is natural, dries quickly, and lasts!!

I cost much cheaper to get the same result - successfully remove my lip hair with depitime hair removal. It's amazing result, I'm very excited for the result that depitime hair removal took me. First I used it nearly everyday for my lip hair in first 2 weeks cuz lip hair grew too fast, gradually the hair becomes thinner then I gradually reduce the times to remove the hair. It has been 5 months right now, no lip hair. I will start to use it for my bikini hair, but first I need to buy again the blades. I will still buy them from my formal shopping site: http://www.magicqueen.com/Product-DepiTime-Handy-Hair-Removal-62.html, they also send me a coupon code 'SAVE35%' to save much money. Here share with u, let u save money too but remove your unwanted hair permanently. read more

I first started going to Alite Laser after deciding to finally do something about the awful bags under my eyes. Years of bad allergies, sinus infections, insomnia, and hereditary had started making my face look older than it is. After expressing to a friend how much I hated the bags but was too scared of plastic surgery, (and the cost,) she told me about the new procedure Alite Laser was offering called Changes. She explained to it was nonsurgical, less expensive than surgery, and that the results were almost immediate. I went to the West 17th location to meet with the Changes Technician, Valerie. I was so excited to learn about the procedure and its benefits. Valerie had so much interesting, scientific information to share with me about the Changes Program. She made me feel so confidant and comfortable with my decision that I started treatment right then. The Treatment Plan Valerie drafted for me was actually for my whole face. So my "eye luggage" was the focus but my entire face and neck received the benefits for an overall transformation! Two specific Changes treatments we used, the Isogei and the Microgei. The Isogei consisted of several electrodes placed in various places on my face and neck. The electrodes systematically pulsated contorting and "flexing" my face. It was like my face and neck was lifting weights or doing aerobics and I didn't have to physically do any of the work out! It did not really hurt during the process- it was just a strange feeling. It's very weird not having control of your own facial expressions! Part 2 of the treatment was the Isogei. My face was first massaged with a relaxing gel. The Isogei is like a pair of hand held electrodes that slide across your face emitting a range of "tingles." The electrical current actually stimulates new cell growth and brings more blood circulation to the very sensitive, tired skin cells that have been exposed to the elements all these years! I could tell an immediate difference! My face was tighter and the skin seemed firm and fresh. The tiny bit of discomfort was worth it! That annoying bit of skin under your chin that you wish could be stretched tighter...IT WAS! I'm not saying that "POOF" I was instantly all better and one session made me look 10 years younger- I'm saying I could see immediate improvement and fresher healthier skin. When you stimulate the skin to produce new cells, those cells are tighter, plumper and firmer than the beat-up sagging older cells. I was sold. My first treatment made me want the next 9 in the series! Valerie educated me about some of the other benefits of the Changes Treatments. She explained to me that the body related treatments can help tighten other areas. We spoke about my abs and thighs. I hate the new love-handles that I got for my 35th birthday. She explained how the Isogei can also be used in these areas. I'm not totally comfortable about working the lower part of my body because I have an existing lower back injury. The injury has kept me from being able to have a good work out. I only really did yoga at this point. But, after the success I had just with my face, I now trusted the Changes Program and Valerie and was excited about the possibilities! Since then I have had several new things done and some exciting new developments. I'll keep you posted- I have more to share soon! Alite Laser's website does not have the Changes information on it yet but the website www.getchanges.com is very informative. If you have any questions you should just call Alite Laser and ask for Valerie. 512.288.2190. I think there is even a free consult. read more

Purchased the Groupon for a Brazilian wax here- LOVED the experience. I've gone to many different places for Brazilians (Groupons/European Waxing) and this place is by the far the best. Definitely recommend. Comfortable experience, and definitely one of the most painless. read more

I love this place. They are always professional and welcoming when you arrive, the rooms are private and clean and the staff is awesome. I've gone to Chelsea for years for bikini laser and underarm laser and she is the bomb. She's sweet and gets the job done. I've referred this place to a ton of friends and everyone has had a great experience also! read more

Such a relief to get the "hair problem" taken care of. I had laser hair removal done in 3 areas (underarm, bikini, nape of neck), and it has changed my life. Seriously. Dawn is so capable as a technician, and so good with people, that even if the treatment does smart a bit, she was able to get good results quickly. I wish I had come here years ago. After the neck hair removal, I am able to wear my hair up or get haircuts that I simply never was able to pull off before. And I love never having to shave under my arms again, or mess with bikini waxes. It is very freeing. read more

Today was my first visit, so I can't comment on the results yet. However, the esthetician was very friendly and accommodating. Their prices are great too. The only negative about Alite is that they are very pushy about tips. Not only is there a sign in the office requesting tips, they also have a paragraph about it in their handout package. I have previously had laser hair removal done and never tipped. The cost of laser hair removal is high enough, I'm not giving another 15-20%. My previous hair removal was done at a dermatology office by a nurse, so I never considered tipping. Maybe it's different with an esthetician? read more

I really enjoy going to Alite for my treatments. Laser hair removal is one of those luxuries we rarely afford ourselves due to price & somewhat of a taboo situation stripping down for a technician to zap you- at least, these two things held me back for years. I originally found Alite through a Amazon Local deal, which was an outstanding value. I read their reviews on Yelp- so many positive comments- and decided to give it a try. My technician's name is Chelsea and she is wonderful to be around. She makes you feel very comfortable, is very professional, makes great conversation to help distract you from the pain and is just a really nice person. She's quick & efficient, she is always in a great mood and the location is always clean and comfortable (not too hot or cold). The ladies at the front desk are also very nice. The treatments I receive there are done correctly and completely, the special pricing I got on additional areas from Alite's own special (check website- was 50% off treatments) made it possible for me to start and maintain treatments I've wanted to do for years. I am one happy customer! read more

Wonderful! Brunie is a very thorough waxer. I get my Brazillian wax from her.

I have had one laser treatment at Alite Laser, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience so far! Staff was friendly and helpful. I was nervous at first but was made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The procedure was not painful but caused only minor discomfort. It also took much less time than I had expected. All my questions were answered and I was well taken care of throughout the appointment. I would recommend Alite to anyone who is looking for friendly service and a painless but thorough treatment. read more

This place is wonderful! When you trust your body to a company and it's staff, you want to feel comfortable and safe; and that is what Alite Laser does. I have used them for their waxing and laser services and have alway been highly satisfied with the treatment I received from all staff. I do have to give special shout out to Brunie, as she is always friendly, helpful, and has your best interest in mind! read more
