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!

Erase Spa is my go-to for laser hair removal! If you live in…read moreNYC or the surrounding tri-state area, it's a short walk from Penn Station.

Today I went to Erase Spa for my laser hair removal appointment, and I was genuinely excited to…read morebegin my session. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Your website clearly states the estimated length of each laser treatment (for example, full legs - 20 minutes, stomach line - 15 minutes), so I had certain expectations regarding the quality and thoroughness of the service. I arrived early for my appointment and was the only client in the waiting room. After waiting about five minutes, the technician brought me in on time. From the start, there was very little communication. She only asked the standard questions about retinol use, antibiotics, and similar medical information, but she never explained the treatment process or what to expect during the session. What concerned me most was the treatment itself. The technician did not mark or properly assess the treatment areas, and it felt like she was simply guessing rather than being precise. She didn't pause to check that every area had been treated evenly. When I asked her to lower the air pressure because I was uncomfortable, my request was ignored. This location is not the same since the previous technicians left. The level of professionalism and attention to detail has noticeably declined. There was no welcoming atmosphere, no effort to make me feel comfortable, and no sense of structure. What was especially frustrating is that there wasn't a single other client waiting, yet the technician still rushed through my appointment. The session was completed much faster than expected, and I honestly do not believe all of the treatment areas were covered properly. Laser hair removal should be performed carefully and methodically. The technician should be checking that every section is treated evenly rather than rushing through the appointment. As a paying customer, I expect a thorough treatment that matches the standards your company advertises. I left feeling like my appointment was rushed and that I did not receive the quality of care I paid for. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future clients receive the level of service they deserve

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.

I visited Disappearing Ink back in March for a consultation. The vibe was... Ok, I'ma be honest and…read moretell ya how I really feel... I wouldn't be surprised if the two people I'd met with were... (I feel my inner Libran diplomat wanting to sugar coat and simply say...) not comfortable around Black people. Have y'all read Carolyn F's review? I got the same vibe as that sister. So, the girl didn't feel comfortable in a room alone with me during the consultation, so a male co-worker joined and watched me like a hawk. I'd had an earlier consultation at Removary and they'd mentioned the difficulty removing colored ink from melanated skin (if it comes out at all). I asked about that while at DI. They concurred. They brought out a book with examples of their work. All colors of ink can be removed from pale skin. With melanated skin, the laser may not be able to distinguish between the ink and the melanin and remove all the color leaving you with pale patches. That said, I asked if they could show. Me. Results. On. People. Who. Look. Like. MEEEEEEEEEE. Like, lemme see the results on Black folks, mang! All I'm seeing in this book are non-melanated folks who've had their tats completely removed. This is a waste of time...unless they think I might refer any non-melanated folks I know who want to have a tat removed to them (I'm not). At one point, male co-worker says to me, "but YOU're not going to get those results...", dripping with condescension. To which I replied, "and that's why I'm waiting to see someone in that book who looks like ME." As gal showed me their price chart, I asked if I could take pix. Their price charts are laminated. One of the photos that I'd taken had glare from the light above. When I mentioned it, male co-worker looks up as if to say, "glare from what?" The glare is visible in my pics. They ask for credit card info before you can make your consultation appointment so they can charge you if you cancel within 24 hours (Removary didn't do that, but...) Several places do that. I get it. While I was there, they asked to see my I.D. That was naggin' at me, so I later asked what that was about, I got two different answers. One, "it's for insurance purposes. We need to make sure the person who did their paperwork is the same as the one being treated!" (Yes, you must fill out paperwork for a consultation) I replied that I was only there for a consultation and at no point, did I ask to be treated during. Ugh. Then I got answer #2, "it's just standard protocol to ask during the consultation because some do choose to be treated during!" Again, at no point did I ask to be treated. Anywho, when the consultation was over, the guy was all friendly. He was happy to see my black a$$ leave, lol. I was happy to leave and matched his enthusiasm. So, here on the marvelous Yelp, you have two Black folks, Carolyn F and myself, lettin' fam know that you're gonna get some juicy negative vibes if you go to Disappearing Ink. So, don't. I highly and high-key don't recommend. The vibe at Removary was much more welcoming, inviting, amiable, down to earth (don't let the fancy Park Ave address fool or deter you)... Removary was just all-around cooler.

I can not believe how easy it was to start my eyebrow tattoo removal process…read more Storytime: I made a mistake and got my eyebrows tattooed almost 10 years ago. I was promised that they would completely fade within 2 years. They never faded and in fact they started to turn a blue ish grey color. To have this corrected, I had my eyebrows microbladed twice in hopes to cover up the mess that was previously done by the first tattoo. I got fed up and started researching different procedures such as the Lift method (saline microblading) and was told that I wouldn't qualify since the tattoo was so old. That person pointed me in the direction of Pico sure laser. I began searching online and found Disappearing Inc. Solution: I booked an appointment online and met with Darcy. She is very meticulous and knowledgeable-she takes her time to go over the entire process in details. Darcy is very welcoming and answered all my questions. The entire time she made sure I was comfortable and informed. The whole process was completed in a matter of minutes. Darcy took time and explained to me the after care procedure as well. My only regret is not coming here sooner. I already booked my second appointment and look forward to working with Darcy again.

I bought a package over 6 months ago and in total I've only been able to get 1 treatment because either they cancel or don't have the equipment to do it when I get there. The level of unprofessionalism is unbelievable. They finally promised me a refund for 2/3 of what I paid from corporate, saying it would be posted 5-7 business days later. Absolutely nothing for over three weeks, and they would not respond to calls, emails or chats. Finally they refund me $400 less than what they *explicitly* told me, without an explanation (I rejected the first amount they mentioned as an unsuitable solution). Absolutely a scam.
