So, maybe this kind of picture might spook you out. For me, its a HUGE sigh of RELIEF. Finally, I'm getting quality laser done by one of the most proficient technicians I've ever met, Hanna Lebedzeva.
I've done full body laser treatments for about 8 years. ...Yeah. Still, I had dark black facial hair, and hair all over my body. I've tried 3 different laser salons before Satori. I got suckered by some $1000 unlimited for a year full body packages, which had the result of making my hair slightly finer but still, very plentiful. I got suckered again into buying another year package, believing that these things just take time...
No. In previous salons, I barely felt the laser, I mostly just felt a slight warmth, honestly it was kind of like a massage. Which makes no sense, since I have thick, coarse black hair on light skin- I can handle the highest intensity for laser. I would tell technicians this, and they reassured me I was getting a high setting, and yet I basically paid money for these superficial laser massages instead.
I am so lucky I walked into Satori and met Hanna. On my first session, she gave me a presentation about the science of laser, and explained the mechanics of her machine: an intense shot of laser, with a cooling beam after. She set realistic expectations around the amount of sessions needed, depending on targeted area and specifically addressed the condition I have (PCOS) before I ever mentioned having it. I appreciated this context going in, and I realized I never got this treatment at previous salons.
Hanna specifically is seriously skilled as a laser tech. At this point I kind of feel like an expert and I know when someone isn't taking their time, and my results will suffer for it. Never ever with Hanna. There's never any patchiness in her work. When my hair grows back, it's SO thin and fine and unnoticeable and UNIFORM! She works in a methodical patchwork way that actually targets all of my hair.
Like I said, my hair is dark and coarse so I can handle the intense settings. Hanna wields that power in her sessions with me very intentionally. This photo was taken immediately after a session - the red bumps go down a bit later in the day, usually after a few hours. This photo is proof to me that I'm not getting ripped off here. All of my friends and family have remarked on the difference. My skin is smooth and hairless on my face for the first time in ages!
Thank you so much Hanna, I wish you the best of luck with all of your endeavors. Thanks for always treating me right and thank you...
Read moreCompared to another laser hair removal company on 28th street, Satori's service is unbeatable! Their office on 57th street is super clean, the employees super patient and they give you ample background on the laser service if it's your first time coming in for a laser treatment. My specialist gave me a briefing before I came in for my first session basically giving me a run down of how the process works, why I should stay away from the sun before and after each treatment and how to take care of treated skin etc. They also rub aloe for you after the treatment and not all places do this. Small treatment areas are quick- it takes about 5 minutes to complete the treatment. I haven't gotten a large area treated so I don't have feedback for that.
They also call a day before every appointment to remind you that you need to come in since each appointment is spaced out so far in between (recommend 6-7 treatments with 5-6 weeks in between). The receptionist who calls you is SUPER PATIENT and nice and seems genuinely happy to make sure you know when you are coming in. Sometimes I get rude reminder calls that just make me feel annoyed for even picking up the phone. The biggest difference is that I've noticed they don't try to cross sell you products and don't try to pressure you to buy more sessions, because that gets uncomfortable. They'll just let you know if they are running a promotion and you can decide for yourself if you want to get more session. They really understand their customer and trust that their customer will come back to them if they want a different place treated or want to undergo another session. The other laser treatment spa on 28th Street that I went to tried to sell me cool sculpting, tried to give me incentives to refer friends, they even built an entirely new room to be able to service more customers and pressured us to give a tip on top of the session cost. This is not what Satori does. They are laser experts as well as service experts. This is seriously the best place to go for laser services- if you ever stumble upon their Groupon deal, I'd say go for it!
Last thing- laser can be pricey, so make sure you do your research because sometimes though service and price points are definitely something to consider when choosing a laser place. Satori might not be the cheapest place, and I certainly would not have gone there if I did not get the...
