Bared Monkey has literally everything you'd hope for in a laser center but wouldn't dream of finding in just one place. Such as... * Text communication for appointments (perfect for us busy folks who can't get on the phone!) * State of the art machines (crucial for those of us with darker skin who need to be mindful). * Extremely well organized staff who keep everything humming perfectly, including the punctuality of appts. * Amazing technicians who not only know what they're doing but are kind and thoughtful and who are efficient but never rushed. (A huge shout out to Julia--she is like soothing balm to my soul and I always leave feeling more relaxed than when I came in despite the lasers lol) * And most importantly, IT WORKS. Whatever sessions you sign up for, I guarantee you see the results. * Oh and second most importantly, it is AFFORDABLE. Start with a Groupon and grow to buying packages directly from them with the specials they regularly offer! It's like the pricing of a place that you don't expect to be the spa-like environment that it is! I know I'm just piling on the great reviews here, but quite frankly, they've earned them! read more

Claire was detailed and patient in answering my questions. She made my 1st experience comfortable. Establishment was clean, all staff friendly, professional and efficient. read more

Found out about Bared Monkey Laser via Groupon. They offered great laser removal packages!! The people were all very nice and helpful. Definitely glad to have gotten my laser removal done here :) read more

I won the $1 last year so I'm not sure why people are saying it's a scam! They have one of the best customer service I've seen. They actually care about the customer. I've been going for the past year so writing this review to help others out. They honestly are the best place... I travel from jersey to go to them read more

Bared Monkey Laser Spa - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - New York, New York

my friend first recommended bared monkey to me for laser hair removal. my friend is meticulous and looks for the best quality so I knew this spot would be solid even before coming in. she told me to get a groupon for my first visit so I did (you can buy this package once a year). then i went in and purchased two more packs of 6 sessions immediately after my first session. i would recommend waiting a bit after your first appointment though in case you don't react well to the lasers. i just took a gamble and bought them right away lol. the office is located right in ktown which makes it so convenient to get to and it's really quiet in the office you wouldn't even know you're in the middle of manhattan. the waiting room is well-maintained and has a water dispenser. i've been coming here for my sessions for almost a year now and every technician i've had has been wonderfully nice and patient. they don't judge me for any of the questions i ask and are so gracious especially during the summer when i come in sweaty. the front desk is quick about taking feedback and scheduling future sessions. lately i noticed there are more guys at the front desk than there used to be. hopefully men will start to be more comfortable using these services too. i used to think laser hair removal is just a nice to have but now that i've done it, i think it's quite worth it. it's very affordable at bared monkey especially compared to other spots and its worth not having to think about when i need to epilate/shave anymore plus not having to deal with stubble is amazing. read more

After YEARS of waxing I finally started laser for the first time here and have come to realize that waxing is throwing money out the window. Laser is the way of the future. If you are reading this thinking "should I do laser hair removal?" Yes, yes you should. A friend told me about Bared Monkey Laser. She mentioned that she's gone a few times and its been so great so far AND you can always find great deals on Groupon for your first few visits. I bought a starter package of 6 sessions for a large area, went in for the first session and literally bought another 6 sessions for 2 other areas. I am on session 5 and seeing such great results. They have been very transparent from the first session about how many sessions I'll most likely need, timeline until I should be seeing the results I want and how often I should come in. I will usually stick to the session I book ahead of time when leaving, but it's been very easy to cancel and reschedule when I need to. Everyone that I've seen has been great, but Ting is who I usually request if available. She is so sweet, patient, kind and thorough. I am beyond happy I started with packages here! read more

I've had such a great experience with Bared Monkey! I've mostly worked with Anna, who has been super helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience - plus the results were pretty fast for me- seeing a difference after just one session. Plus the office is very clean and lovely. I will say, depending on the area, just know that you'll have to do 9-12 sessions. So, it's an investment but 100% worth it for me! Highly recommend! read more

I've only completed my first few sessions, but I am already thoroughly impressed with Bared Monkey and the quality of service and professionalism provided by both the staff and service technicians. It was recommended to me by a friend, and although I'm located in New Jersey and initially hoped to find a more local option (to avoid taking a train into New York for each appointment), Bared Monkey was irrefutably the best choice for me based on pricing, promotions, and the thousands of positive reviews. Anna facilitated my initial consultation, patch test, and all sessions since, and no amount of praise can fully convey how exceptional she has been. As this is my first-ever experience with laser hair removal, Anna has been incredibly patient, thorough, and informative in addressing every question and concern I've had throughout the process. Her clear expertise is evident during each session in her ability to be both efficient and meticulous in her work. What I appreciate most is her ability to balance warmth/approachability with the utmost professionalism, creating an environment where I always feel safe and comfortable, despite being exposed for the majority of each session. I visit the Herald Square location and would recommend it to everyone. The space is clean, efficiently run (& nicely decorated as a bonus!), and while commuting via NJ Transit isn't ideal, Bared Monkey, and my experience with Anna, make the trip into Penn Station worth it (a sentiment few would offer lightly). read more

I've been coming here for 3 years now. It's a very clean facility and the laser is safe for all skin types. This was my main concern when searching for a laser spa. The check-in process is very easy and you are prompted to wait in a nice waiting area. I consistently book Fannie. When I started I had services done by a few technicians but Fannie stood out because she was informative and made me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend her and the spa. The prices are also unmatched. read more

1000/10. They try to make everything as affordable as possible. My chin area smoothed out after 1 session. Now I am expanding my treatments to skincare and not just hair removal. They have the latest technology and the process does not feel overwhelmingly spicy. Anna does all my treatments. read more

This place is cute and located in such a prime spot (Ktown) in manhattan! I got my upper lip, legs, underarms, and bikini done. They really get every little spot on your body. As someone who has had laser before, I see the difference of care the staff puts in here. They definitely spend more time with you and really want results. I had little to no hair after just one session- you will really want to throw your razor away after your first visit! The best part was that it was painless as well and Anna had great bedside manner and helps calm you if you are nervous. 12/10 recommend! read more

I don't know how long I've been coming to Bared Monkey spa but it's been years. I went for a large area and have been coming back to maintain it. I live in California so I score an appt whenever I'm in town for touch up. Recently I got Kiki and the touch up this time was super painless and quick. I asked her if she had reduce the intensity and she told me they just upgrade their machines so it's better and less painful. Ugh love! Kiki was great and I'll be coming back for my touch up! read more

Their $1 is definitely NOT a scam! I always look forward for this deal. You have to be super quick because they do runout within a few seconds. Absolutely love going to bared! I've been seeing Kiki for my sessions and she's so great, always goes above and beyond for her clients. read more

I've done a couple of laser hair removal sessions here and I'm shocked at just how good and painless the process is. Super clean, very organized and amazing staff read more

I've been primarily receiving laser hair removal services at Bared Monkey, which has been a great experience. I really liked having Dora as my laser hair removal technician, but everyone has been lovely as well over the five sessions I've had. Yesterday I had a Hydrafacial done by Shanay, who is attentive and friendly, and just overall lovely. She gave me tips on taking care of my skin and did a great job on the facial, which left me feeling refreshed. Recommend Bared Monkey. read more

I have been going to Bared Monkey for about two years now- specifically I see Vivie. She has always made me comfortable from day 1 and I refuse to see anyone else! this was my 2nd time getting laser on my lip and it has worked!! Would highly recommend coming to Bared Monkey and seeing Vivie!! read more

I love my technician Vivie. Book a session with her if you could. She's super sweet and professional.

Found about this place through a friend and am using a Groupon. Staff is very friendly and professional, the office is so welcoming and bright. Water offered in the waiting room, which is also very comfy and cute. The individual rooms are sterile. You can ask for a squeeze ball to hold during treatment. Definitely worth it and so happy I found this place read more

Ive been going to Bared Monkey for a few years and specifically ask for Vivie or Ting (Both are amazing!) I've had a series of laser hair removal sessions, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. The process was quicker and less painful than I expected--just a slight snapping sensation, but nothing unbearable. After just a few treatments, I noticed a significant reduction in hair growth, and by the end of the sessions, my skin was so much smoother and virtually hair-free. read more

Kiki is the best! She's friendly and kind. She makes you feel comfortable and she's great at her job. I'm very happy with the results. Highly recommend! read more

Seriously such an amazing, clean, laser spa right in Ktown with state of the art technology. I started coming here for underarm hair removal a couple of years ago based on a recommendation from a friend- they have an awesome groupon deal too! In the beginning, I had sessions every 6-8 weeks, but I saw results quickly after the first session and each session consequently. The hair grew back thinner and thinner, and less and less with each session - so I started coming back only for touch-ups every 2-3 months. Currently, after 2-3 months between sessions, I only grow about 5-6 random and veryyyy thin hairs which means I basically have hairless underarms LOL. All the staff are professional and phenomenal. I'd love to shoutout my technicians, Dora, Vivie, and Kiki who are wonderful, sweet, and great at what they do- they make the experience quick, 100% painless, and permanent! read more

Their $1 Black Friday deal is a scam. I was on their website 10 minutes before the deal started (10 PM on Nov 27), and it showed as sold out from the very beginning. Extremely disappointing. I see in the reviews that people have a similar complain. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Claire is the best technician ever! I've been seeing her for over 2 years now and would highly recommend! Very professional.

I've been a customer of Beard Monkey Laser for years. I LOVE THEM- they are extremely professional, ready to help, and easy to communicate with. They can customize every procedure for you and make you feel special. I did a few areas with them and I have results even after the first one. My technician Vivie is so gentle and always explains the procedure in detail- I know I can trust her 100% with each treatment. They have the most adorable space and few locations to choose from. Everything there is so clean and very girly and pink :) I enjoy my treatments every time and I recommend them with both hands! THEY ARE THE BEST! read more

Bared Monkey Laser Spa - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - New York, New York

I've been toying with the idea of getting laser hair removal for several years, but I was hesitant on getting it because of the cost + I wasn't sure how much it would hurt. I saw that Bared Monkey had a Groupon so I decided to give it a shot! I decided to get my underarms done and it was only $75 for 6 sessions which is a pretty good deal. The studio itself is located on the 15th floor right next to Hmart in K-town - there was a sign in front of the building when I came, so look out for it if it's your first time at the studio. Once you arrive at the studio, you check in on the iPad and then someone will be with you shortly. Since it was my first visit, I had a quick consultation with a worker before my first session. She basically asked a couple of questions to see if I would be a good candidate for laser hair removal and answered any questions I had. After the consultation, I was taken to one of the back rooms and had my first session! It was super painless and lasted only 5 minutes total. They applied aloe vera after to soothe the area which was nice. Even though it was only my first session, my hair has been growing back a lot slower, so I'm excited to see how it progresses in the future. You're supposed to come back every 6 weeks for the optimal results, so I'll update again after my next appointment. read more

I have been going to Baredmonkey on a regular basis for skin care and contouring treatments, and introduced couple of my close friends as well. Anna and Vivi are so kind, and very meticulous, they take good care of you. The service and quality of care are great, and so are the prices. The pico treatments got rid of all my dark spots !! Thank you!! read more

I highly recommend Bared Monkey Laser Spa for anyone looking to get the highest quality laser hair removal in the Manhattan area. I have experience with laser at a few different establishments and Fannie is the best technician I've ever had. She kindly listens to any concerns and goals, and lays out the perfect customized plan that will get you the best results. Fannie is the nicest woman...she is very detail oriented, amazing at her work and you can tell she truly wants the best for her clients and is very passionate about the work. I would honestly give 10 stars if I could...she is the best! -Brett read more

I have done laser before and a friend recommended this place because of their prices. After comparing the prices i decided to try Bared Monkey! What i love about this location is that before you can even make an appointment you have to read through all this paper work. It was a little annoying but I'm glad i did because i learned more about the machines they use and which machine works best for different hair textures and skin complexion. Bared Monkey is very detailed and made me feel comfortable before even arriving. The staff is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about their machines. The two technicians i like are Claire and Vivie. When they aren't available i receive a text letting me know and i can either be seen by someone else or reschedule. The laser spa is clean and modern. They still do have a mask policy but if you forgot yours, they have extras. Today was my 5th session and i HIGHLY recommend this place. I have seen a significant decrease in hair growth after completing these sessions. Like it's barley noticeable! As a women of color, with dark hair, it has taken some time to find a laser spa that actually works and is reasonably priced. Lastly check Groupon they have deals that are a steal! That's what i did in the beginning. Only downside is you can only purchase one per year. So i would suggest getting the X-Large because you will save the most money on 6 sessions. read more

Ting is an amazing technician and she is very gentle, kind, and nice. She is very welcome and talks very nicely to make me relaxed. It helps me to not be stressed and feel comfortable while doing laser. read more

I highly recommend Bared Monkey Laser Spa as I've been here multiple times and I've appreciated the service and my results after each visit. To start, the booking process is very smooth and if I have any issues, their team responds quite swiftly. Definitely utilize their Groupon deals, since they're so worth it, especially if you're doing laser hair removal for the first time. The waiting area is neat, spacious and cozy with minimal aesthetics. I booked for a large area (Brazilian) laser hair removal treatment. Prior to my first session, I received an in depth consultation to go over the process and address any questions I had. I appreciate the insight into the aftercare and laser technology devices used. During my appointment, my technician, Kiki was friendly, patient and reassured me throughout the process. She's knowledgeable and answered any concerns I had and made me feel comfortable, as it can be a bit awkward at first, since it's an intimate area. The appointment goes by quickly, usually no more than 10 minutes. She used an Elizabethan laser device which blows cool air while projecting the laser, so the pain is tolerable, like slight pricks for the most part. I'm so grateful for this tech, since it's far less painful than waxing and another laser device I've experienced that requires a gel! I'm reviewing this after having 7 sessions and I'm so pleased with my results! Most of the hair in that area is no longer visible, and the hair that remains, is much finer. I request Kiki as my tech each time, since she's kind, understanding and detailed in her application. I'll continue to come to this spa since the staff are welcoming, organized and efficient :) read more

I've been going to Bared Monkey for over 5 years now and have done both the laser hair removal and sun spot treatment. I cannot recommend them enough. Anna has been my aesthetician for the spot treatment and has taken great care of me, always ensuring I'm happy with the final result. read more

Vivid did a brilliant job. Super professional and pleasant operation. Everything was thoroughly explained and it was painless.

I have been going to this spa for about a year now and would highly recommend it. I started out with a Groupon deal for a Brazilian and have since added additional packages because of how effective it's been and how impressed I am with the results. Appointments are easy to make and checking in is efficient with the use of iPads. I've never really had to wait for my sessions. The spa itself is very clean and bright. All the estheticians I've encountered have been lovely, but Claire has been my go to person. She is professional, meticulous and thorough, and constantly ensuring that the process is as comfortable as possible. She is very respectful, giving her advice based on her experience and she doesn't push for unnecessary treatments. Her sessions are quick and efficient, but never rushed. I would recommend Claire to anyone considering laser hair removal. You won't regret it! read more

Professional, pleasant and effective. I've been going here for years and always have positive experiences. They are responsive and have reasonable prices. Highly recommend. read more

I found Bared Monkey on Gilt, when I was looking for a laser hair removal place to touch up my underarms. I bought a voucher for 3 sessions. Making my first appointment was super easy - I just texted the number provided. They are located in Ktown, in one of those kind of sketch elevators from the outside, but the actual spa itself is very nice! The waiting area is big with lots of comfy chairs. At the first appointment, they spend a few minutes walking you through the process. The actual treatment took only a few minutes and for subsequent appointments, I was pretty much in and out in 5 minutes. Scheduling/rescheduling was also a breeze. Everything was incredibly seamless and I would definitely recommend them! read more

They advertised a $1 full body laser hair removal deal for Black Friday. The deal NEVER showed up. Similar complaints from few others too. They claim it was sold out but I do have screen shots, timed stamped at various different time. Seems like they are involved in sleepy and fraudulent marketing techniques. Don't know if any other deals ever existed. SYAY AWAY !!! read more

I'm so glad I discovered this spa and Ana, who is truly an exceptional professional. I've had laser hair removal on small areas, and the experience has been painless with incredible results. What impressed me even more was Ana's honesty--she advised me not to proceed with a treatment and recommended seeing a dermatologist first, as she suspected the area might require a different approach. While the issue turned out to be nothing major, Ana was knowledgeable enough to recognize that a different treatment might be the best solution, and she was absolutely right. I really appreciate her integrity. I've been recommending this place to everyone I know who needs or wants hair removal. You will not be disappointed here. read more

I was hesitant at first to have laser hair removal since I'm a dark skin girlie and heard rumors that some laser machines don't work well with my complexion. My worries were completely gone once I found Bared Monkey. The ladies there are so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable plus their package deals are so affordable. I was so fortunate to meet Dora who is an amazing technician. She is the best of the best and she's so gentle that you barely feel the laser on your skin. She works with you to find the best comfort level for your treatment. To make it even better, we have the best convos ever!! It helps take your mind off the slight sting and help pass the time. I book her every chance I get!! She's one of the best!!! read more

Please avoid this place at all costs. Their medical staff are not trained. They lasered areas I did not have hair in which caused new hair growth as those hair follicles were newly simulated. Pay a bit extra and go to a proper place please. I am aware of paradoxical hair growth, but that only appears in areas in which you had existing hair. My technicians lasered parts of my face that did not ever have hair, causing hair growth that never was there in the first place. I later learned that more trained people really focus on only the parts with hair to prevent this--they just did every part quickly and wrapped it up. Now I am going to have to pay twice as much to go to a proper clinic and get it fixed. read more
