| - As I began thinking about laser treatment for hair removal I googled around for the place with the best (and most) reviews. Aside from DLK on Avenue, which was really outrageously expensive, Bellair came on top. I was drawn by the fact that they have registered nurses performing the treatment and by the overall good feedback fellow Yelpers gave. And I have to agree: this place is amazing.
The good:
- Simple, clean, bright environment
- Helpful staff (yes, they DO try to sell you packages and products but either my 'no' was too firm or the girl I dealt with sensible enough, but she did not pester me with sales)
- the nurse performing the treatment ( I sadly do not remember her name) was wonderful; I was terrified of the pain and she talked me through everything she was doing, counted to 3 every time before pulsing the laser...really babied my through this first time.
The bad:
- No bad
Why not 4 stars? Well, the price. For the laser they use, which is the LightSheer, they charge about $80 more than other places. I now go to a dermatologist's clinic, which uses the same laser and costs about $65 less. However, the girl who does the procedure is a technician, not a nurse. The first time I went I would have paid anything to know the person doing the procedure has some qualifications, but once I knew what it is all about I am comfrotable enough with a technician.
That being said, the location and the fact that they pay nurses really does justify the price difference. It is just a matter of whether that is important enough for you to pay the extra $.
