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!!

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

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!

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!

I'll never go anywhere else!

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

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

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 friendsly 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

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 amso 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
