My review is for a consultation only. I'll explain…read more.. I was greeted warmly upon entering. Because they're located on Park Avenue, I kinda expected them to be snooty, lol. They really couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. I was assisted by Carlos who was cool as heck. I appreciate the fact that Carlos told me up front that the color in my tattoo would not come out (I have a 28 y.o. Nefertiti tat. Her crown is shaded in blue and there's also some red and green in her necklace). They could easily get the black ink out, but with the colors, the laser wouldn't be able to differentiate between the ink colors and my glorious melanin. So the laser might remove all of the color, including my glorious melanin, and leave me with a pale spot there (hypopigmentation). There's also be a possibility that the skin in that area would darken (hyperpigmentation). Carlos told me of a Complete Removal package for $1,790 where you go back every eight weeks (to give your skin time to heal in between treatments) until your tat is completely gone. I was also told of a $690 package...that I wasn't too interested in because, initially, I was going to take the Complete Removal package. Another Yelper has mentioned in their review of Removary that if the whole $1,790 is not used, you will be refunded the unused portion, which sounds awesome. I've decided to keep Queen Nefertiti with me. I came to that decision after watching videos of people with skin like mine share their stories. Before going in, I thought tattoo removal would be the same for all. If you Google, you'll see a lot of pics of tats completely removed from white skin with just a couple of Black folks sprinkled in. There's a reason for that. And the tats removed from Black skin are all black ink tats. If you're white, they can completely remove your tat; black AND colored ink. If you're Black, they can get black ink outta ya, but colored ink, not so much. There are a couple of videos on You Tube where Black gals have shared their tattoo removal stories. One in particular is very detailed and provides before and after photos. Here's the link.. https://youtu.be/g6vKaVDygi8 OH! I have to mention... There are a couple of videos on You Tube mentioning the PiQo4 and PicoSure lasers to completely remove tats from Black skin. However, those videos only make the claim. They do not show the results. After my consultation with Removary, I'd had another consultation at Disappearing Inc. Just for a consultation, they required a credit card number (if you cancel within 24 hrs, they charge you $50 for a weekday appt and $100 for a Saturday appt.) Once I was there, they also asked for I.D. When I asked what that was about, they gave me two excuses. Excuse #1: "it's for insurance purposes. We need to make sure the person who did their paperwork is the same as the one being treated." Do they really have THAT many people lying about who they are? Excuse #2: "It's just standard protocol because some choose to be treated during (the consultation)." Ok, but I never asked to be treated during mine.... Anywho, I prefer Removary because I didn't feel they were trying to bulls**t me. Nor were they condescending... Whoa, instead of talking about my dissapointing Disappearing Inc. experience here, lemme mosey on over to their page and leave it there. Anywho, if I had a recommend a tat removal spot, it would, hands down, be Removary!

If you're looking for real-deal tattoo removal without the corporate runaround, Bye-Bye Ink is it…read more Jackie knows what she's doing and actually gives a damn. She's been through the scammy chain experience herself, which is probably why she runs this place with honesty and zero judgment. Whether it's microblading gone wrong or a tattoo you've outgrown, this is the place. It works, it's local, and you're treated like a human being. She keeps it real; removal isn't fast, so be ready to have a new laser bestie for the next year.

I just have completed my 6th visit at Naama Studios. I could…read morenot be more happy with this business. *Amy is my nurse who does my treatments, but all of them are wonderful and the girls that work at the front desk are compassionate, understanding, and kind. Every room is unbelievably clean The whole studio is designed so beautiful. their prices are very fair and they care that your experience is always good every time you are there. I come every 4 to 8 weeks to get a treatment of having a tattoo lasered off. I have a low pain tolerance so it's sometimes a painful experience and they're always very understanding and never let me feel like I'm being weak. I absolutely love NAAMA!! They also have vitamin drips and shots which I'm going to be starting my next visit next month . If you're looking to get a tattoo taken off and removed or are looking for vitamin drips, please come and check them out . They have the best quality care .

I've gone to First Class for tattoos before but when I saw they were offering cosmetic tattoo-ing I…read moreknew I had to try this out. Let me say this first and foremost- this is not your grandma's permanent eyeliner. This is so much more than that. Savannah is a complete and total artist. I was cursed with pale, thin lips that were uneven. Savannah has completely transformed them! They're beautiful now and I find myself not applying lipstick as much because I just love the way they look. Savannah numbs up your lips during the process and it was very easy. It wasn't painful and during the second session I think I napped a tiny bit. It's so natural looking too that I almost forgot what a difference there was until I saw a before and after. My boyfriend even asked what I had done and then I showed him the photo and he was amazed! The healing process was very easy and fast. I think I was fully healed in a week. Yes they peel but just get some aquaphor and apply apply apply! The perk of this is your lips will be ridiculously soft after they heal. I don't think my lips have ever been in better shape? For those of who get injections - I had been getting lip injections for awhile and Savannah told me it would be ok to get lip blush done six weeks after my injections. I can't wait to get my color touched up!

The place itself seems identical to the Williamsburg location but I like this one better. The receptionist was very friendly and helped me to schedule all of my appointments on the same date so I'm not coming to Laser Away a million times like I work here lol (not sure why they were scattered out to begin with) She also informed me of the update where we can be in the sun before/ after laser. I was concerned how was I going to be outside this summer with 8 treatments remaining. Glad it won't be an issue now. The woman who did my laser (I wish I would have gotten her name) was very informative and made me feel comfortable. This was my second session so I'm still pretty new. I added on a new service, my upper lip (because why be hairless everywhere else and still have a mustache?!) and the woman walked me through what it would feel like and even did a test on my neck before we began- I appreciated that. She was thorough and took her time making sure to get every spot. I already booked my next appointment and I can't wait to come back! I've seen amazing results after the first session so I can't wait to see if any hair grows back now.

Storytime: removing my former 5 star review because laseraway is DOWN BAD... story time: tonight…read morethe "manager" yona wanted to leave early so she called me at 655p to tell me she was cancelling my 7p appointment booked weeks ago and that I planned my work schedule, childcare and plans with friends around- I had already driven 30 minutes to get there and was around the corner. She then yelled at me when I suggested I should receive some sort of compensation for the severe inconvenience, told me I was out of luck because I already paid for the service and then hung up on me. Every single laseraway employee I've ever met has told me they are looking for a new job and hate working there and clearly it's managers like yona driving away good employees and customers. I'm shocked she still has a job with customer service/managerial "skills" like I saw tonight, but hopefully she enjoyed getting off early tonight on June 23 2026. Avoid and take your business elsewhere unless you want your appt cancelled without notice 5 minutes before so the manager can tell you she doesn't care because you already paid for the appt, hang up on you and then leave early.

What a poor experience…read more -1- The Website is anything but transparent with respect to pricing, not even providing a ballpark price for certain treatments. This forces you to book a consultation, which is all part of the scheme. -2- The phones are answered by AI assistants. Seriously? -3- If you persist, you get to speak to a human being, where they also refuse to give any prices until after the consultation. I really don't like this. Just give people an approximate price *range*, per session, and if they don't like the price, they can call elsewhere. What's the difference? You can say something like "Full Face: $500" and "Partial Face: From $250" -- something like that. "Discounts available for packages of 5 sessions or more." Is it really that hard? You are competing entirely on price...otherwise, people would just go to a dermatologist!

DECEPTIVE PRACTICES! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! PLEASE READ!…read more I went online to schedule a virtual consultation at 1030 on May 30, 2024 at the Williamsburg location. I received an email and a text message with a GOOGLE chat link. I was given the option to conduct the consult via phone with no video. At around 1030, I received a phone call from Melissa Gonzalez. I informed her that I wanted a small tattoo removed. She asked me basic pedigree information and asked why I wanted it removed. She asked me to send her a photo while we were on the phone. I sent her the photo. She then provided me a quote, which she stated was the Memorial Day special and a discount for being a first responder. She tells me I can pay the full amount or enroll in a payment plan. I informed her that I would pay in full at the appointment. She told me she had an appointment for 1300 on May 31, 2024. I confirm the appointment time. She sends me a link to fill out the paperwork. The paperwork requests my Name, DOB, address, and e-mail, and then the next page is an in-depth medical history questionnaire asking you everything about medications, illnesses, medical conditions, and prior surgeries. I answered every question, e-signed it, and sent it back. Melissa stayed on the phone with me the entire time I filled out the application. When I completed and submitted it, she said that I would receive an FT link to speak with the Nurse practitioner. A few minutes later, I received an FT Telemedicine call from Allison Jaggard, NP. The call was very brief. She asked me about allergies to medication and a prior surgical procedure. When we concluded the call, I sent Melissa a message asking if I was confirmed for the appointment. She responded that I wasn't and said she would call me when she was done with a patient. She calls me back, and asks how the appointment went. Afterwards I again ask her if I am confirmed for May 31. She tells me that I have to PAY IN FULL BEFORE I CAN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT! I never had a face-to-face meeting, never went to the office, and never met with anyone in the office, and she told me that appointments are only scheduled AFTER payment is received in full. So they expect someone to send them 800 dollars without even having a face-to-face meeting. At any point during the conversation, she could have informed me that payment was required beforehand, and SHE DID NOT! I messaged Melissa that I would NOT be scheduling an appointment. I asked her to delete my personal information and medical history, and she responded, "It is illegal for us to delete that information. It will not be used for anything besides your history shall you decide to have treatment." I called another laser removal place and asked if I had to make a payment upfront. The response was, "Why would we ask you for a payment, and we haven't even physically seen you to assess you"?
