No pressure, comfortable laser hair removal
It was my first time going to get laser hair removal. I found Alite on the Internet and was impressed that they were voted the best in the City of Austin in 2006. My friend and I made appointments to come in for a consultation and there was no pressure. They didn't try to convince us to do more areas or require us to sign a contract for a certain number of treatments. The technicians were careful and gentle and made sure to let you know when they were taking action. They are willing to work with your budget and were welcoming from the start. I have already recommended them to all of my friends looking to get laser treatment!! Plus, they are Austin owned and run!

Pros: No pressure to sign up for more than you want/need, comfortable atmosphere, informative staff

Cons: None! They explained everything I should expect in great detail.~ J L Sutton '06

Easy and Painless
I have done it all with little or no success. Electrolysis, waxing, tweezing, bleaching, shaving....You name it! With laser hair removal, I found it to be faster and less expensive than electrolysis, longer lasting than waxing. I had my bikini line, underarms and legs successfully lasered. The process was easy and painless and the results are great. Thanks Heidi and Staff! ~ ladybug1978

Bye-Bye Facial Hair!
I wanted to take the time to write about Heidi and the staff at Alite. I have to tell you I was a little nervous about trying laser hair removal out...I "shopped around" and read many reviews b4 visiting them and I must tell you as a 1st timer they made me feel really at ease they were professional, courteous, and has excellent prices compared to many of the other places I researched.

Pros: Great Staff, Good Location, Patient,

I had been dreading trying a laser hair removal service, so when I finally went in August this year, I was pleasantly surprised. Heidi made me feel very comfortable during the initial consultation, and I was scheduled the following week for my first treatment. I was very impressed with the technician's professionalism and ability to make me feel at ease during what could have been a very uncomfortable process. She was extremely careful and thorough and the procedure was not painful. I have been to Alite twice now for laser treatments and have seen remarkable results. I finally look forward to summer and wearing a bathing suit! I highly recommend Alite because of the great results and the professional and friendly service.

Pros: evening and weekend appointments, comfortable atmosphere, location ~ emaggie

Best Place To Have Hair Removed Ever!!!
I just read the wax review below and I have to say, I completely disagree. I am a 20 year old student at UT and have had my fair share of Brazilian waxes. My experiance at Alite Laser was the best yet. From the moment I walked in the door they made me feel comfortable and the special they had going on made me feel even better cause I knew I could afford it. The girl who did my brazilian wax obviously had lots of experiance and removed my hair with ease and minimal discomfort. She checked with me to make sure the wax was a comfortable temperature, which it was, and talking with her was like talking to my best friend. I was in and out of the door in a very short amount of time. After going to Alite a few times I decided that I was sick of shaving my armpits and was going to treat myself to laser. The price really is very affordable and I am currently on my third treatment and loving not shaving!! The treatment is not painful and the results are fantastic, what more can a girl ask for??! As soon as I can afford to start doing brazilian laser I will, but for the time being I am more than happy to continue waxing here at Alite. I love all the staff because they are professional and fun to be with.

Pros: great price, awesome people with obvious experience and location

Cons: N/A! ~ Jenny O.

Excellent Results!
I am a woman with very thick hair and after giving birth twice I noticed my bikini area and lip and chin had more hair then it should. I am so happy now my lip has no more hair, so no more bleaching. My bikini area always looks clean and I barely have to shave. I used to have to shave everyday. The treatments are worthwhile for the price! ~ chefstac288

Better prices, better laser and comfortable surroundings
I'm a 40 yr male who first went in for back and chest hair removal. I was nervous walking into such a place for the initial consult, but Heidi made me feel very comfortable and informed. I had consulted with a larger "chain" operator but never felt at ease enough to go back. My hair responded very well and the treatment eliminated troublesome in-grown hair problems! And the smooth skin results are fantastic and I feel so much more confident about my looks!!

Pros: Staff, atmosphere, Chelsea, Paulie~ Scott Hicks

great atmosphere and results!
I started waxing at Alite about a year ago and through many chats during my appointments, felt comfortable starting with actual laser hair removal. I got great prices and love the atmosphere. Everyone there is very welcoming and made me feel at ease. I even convinced my husband to do his neck...and he loves not having to shave! If you're looking for great results and great prices..Alite is your place for hair removal :)

Pros: Friendly, comfortable atmosphere

I love Alite
I don't think there is enough space to write the many great things I have to say about Alite Laser. For years I wanted to get rid of unwanted hair and was too scared to do anything about it, so I continued waxing and plucking, and hating the hair which kept quickly growing back. How embarrassing, but I thought the alternative was painful and expensive treatments, so I just put up with it and bought my next pair of tweezers. Finally someone told me about Heidi at Alite Lazer,that she could remove hair painlessly and the cost was very resonable. I made an appointment, and in five minutes, with no pain, I got rid of a problem which was a misery for twenty years. On top of that it didn't cost a lot. I am so happy, and can't recommend this place enough. If you are reading this, don't hesitate, go.

Pros: central location, wonderful people, affordable

Cons: none, none , none~ marebella

The best I've found
I had many laser treatments in California and found I had little to no results even after finishing all the recommended treatments. I found Alite Laser through a recommendation from a friend who has been using them for both laser and electrolysis. Since beginning my treatments the results have been better than my previous 8 in the other location. The staff is great and very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm so glad to have found them. Razors are now a thing of the past!

Pros: efficient and knowledgeable staff...gorgeous house!

Cons: none so far!~ beeme

Highly recommended
I have been getting laser hair treatments and electrolysis for the past 9 months with alite and I have had nothing but the best experience with them! A comfortable environment is an extremely important quality for laser/electrolysis/waxing centers to have, and they provide that comfort quickly within the first treatment. It is as though I'm going to visit with a friend when I go to an appointment! The prices are also fair, and the results are great. I have gotten exactly what I needed from my treatments at Alite and I'm sure it would be the same experience for anyone else. ~ Blake04

Good for guys
I am a 30-year old male. I went to Alite for treatment on my back and shoulders, and I had never sought treatment anywhere before. I was nervous but what people say on the other reviews is true--the people and setting are professional but comfortable. At the consultation and treatments they answer your questions and get you on your way without rushing and without wasting time. They just take care of business in a friendly way. I have had good results--better than I expected, actually--and I'm not done with treatments yet, so the treatment itself has worked for me, too. Since starting at Alite I moved away and got treatment at another place in another town (it also had high ratings on citysearch), but it was not as good as Alite. The people at the other place did a sloppy job and took less time, missing spots and not covering all of what they said they'd cover and charged me for.

Pros: staff, hours~ Calvin J.

Friendly and Professional Hair Removal
After an unfriendly and dismissive consultation experience at the nationwide laser hair place across the street, I searched for a different place to try using Citysearch and went to Alite based on the reviews. They were less expensive, extremely friendly, used the same great lasers, and were knowledgeable, so I signed up for laser hair removal with them. Liz has been performing our laser hair and is wonderful. I'm getting a brazilian, which means a lot of potential for embarrassment, but Liz is professional and it is a comfortable experience.... Great place! I am very happy with my experiences with them.

Pros: Service, Price, Atmosphere, Flexible hours - work with you to find convenient appointment times ~ Mary Singer

A Great Experience!!
I went for a consultation at Alite Laser because I had some facial hair - as a woman that is very embarassing - from the moment I went in they were very very nice. They were so professional and made me feel comfortable and made me feel like they truly cared about me. They were even able to fit me in that same day for my first session. I will continue going to Alite through the whole process and recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Great Customer Service and results ~ stedschicka

Impressive service, impressive technology
I'm particularly excited with the results of my laser hair removal treatment. The technology has improved dramatically since my original treatment over a year ago, and the speed of the treatments has increased as well. It must have been at least five times faster than before. I also didnt experience the sensitivity, redness and swelling that I expected. About a week after the treatment, I used wax strips to remove the dead hair folicles to reveal smooth, hairfree skin! Of special note is the the feel and décor of the treatment room. It helped me to relax and made the treatment more pleasant. I expected the feel of a cold, steril doctors office; instead it felt more like a room of tranquility that youd find at a spa. Alite Laser's treatment, facilities, and services are first class. I enthusiastically recommend it to others.

Pros: great atmosphere, impressive technology, professional service ~ gabeauxier

Alite Laser has won many Austin 'Best of Laser Hair Removal' Awards, including Austin CitySearch, Austin Chronicle, Consumer Business Digest and most recently, Rare Magazine. ~ Sara Jackson

I'll never go anywhere else!
Extremely professional staff, fairly priced, high-tech equipment. A center that lives up to its big promises!

Pros: Price, Professionalism ~ cutiepatootie1534

Great Staff
Hi, I'm Kristen and I wanted to write about my experince with Alite Laser. I was referred to them by my family and I'm so glad I finally took their advice and went in for treatments. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable ......

Pros: service, staff ~ Kristen

Good Price, great service
I found Alite Laser to be much less expensive than most and wow -- I am amazed at how well it works! Heidi was very friendly and, and even after 1 treatment I could see a big difference. She knows what she's doing. I plan on doing my legs soon -- NO SHAVING!

Pros: Price, Location, Knowledgeable

Cons: Busy Schedule ~ Bryna

It really is Austin's best!!
I am a young woman who was sick of shaving my legs and bikini line, especially because I got really irritated and red, which looked almost worse than hair! I had looked into laser hair removal but I didn't really know anything about it. I decided to call and get some information. The receptionist was so nice and friendly that I felt comfortable even over the phone. I scheduled a free consultation and was given all the information I needed in a timely manner and scheduled my first appointment! So far I have had three treatments and the results are amazing! Not having to shave for almost two months between treatments is a blessing. To begin with I was weirded out about undressing in front of a stranger, but the technicians made me relax before I was even in the room. I have sent several friends to Alite and they are all equally as happy with the service and the affordibility. Knowing that I don't have to worry about shaving before putting on a bikini is such a relief! They have been prompt with all my appointments and are willing to work with my schedule to book me at the most convenient time. The atmosphere of the office is relaxed and friendly. I would comfortably send anyone from my mother to my boyfriend into Alite because I know they would receive the best treatment in Austin by some of the friendliest people I have ever met! If you have been thinking about having Laser done, don't hesitate, and go to the best place!

Pros: friendly staff, successful treatments, great prices, ambience

Cons: absolutely NONE!!~ weareinlove11
