Groupon: Collective Buying Power

I’ve been looking for a laser hair-removal deal for a while now, but the 2 reviews on Yelp are really not convincing. Ugh.

I’d go for the deal too if I read some positive reviews. Convenient location for me.

Good morning BK, Happy Thursday!

Let us know here if you have questions on either of today’s two offered services, and we can help you out.

Thanks!
Sarah from Groupon

Many reputable salons that offer laser also have a guarantee whereby if, after six sessions, the hair grows back they will do touch ups/fix it for free for life.

Does this location/deal have any such guarantee? Or is it possible that if what they do doesn’t work that they’ll just ask me to pay for more sessions for the same area?

Also, can you buy two of these groupons and use 6 sessions each on two different areas? (eg- six sessions on bikini line and 6 sessions on bellybutton “happy trail”)

Does the facial include extractions? Also, approximately how long is it?

Hi Jessica – great questions!

Let me check with Charm Beauty Spa on their guarantee policy, but to answer your 2nd question – yes, you can buy two Groupons for two different areas.

Thanks,
Sarah from Groupon

You know, FYI to everyone….I just realised this is NOT for laser hair removal technically…you should really not mislead people.

This is for photoepilation treatments, which is not the same as laser.

…which brings me to another question. Sorry for all the posts….but I’ve heard before that photoepilation can have a negative impact on tattoos a person has….can this be used on areas that have a tattoo in or near them?

And also….I know it doesn’t list this area, but it doesn’t hurt to ask….are they willing to do legs at all? Full legs, bottom half, upper half, etc? Maybe combine a couple of the groupons for these areas?

Thanks!

Hi Jessica,

Today’s Groupon is only for the areas listed, which does not include legs – but you’re right, doesn’t hurt to ask!

Mila from Charm Beauty will be on the discussion board within the hour to answer questions about photoepilation.

Thanks!
Sarah from Groupon

This is a great deal! I’m wondering if, when I buy 2 Groupons for different areas, I’ll be able to book these treatments at the same time, or one after another?

Thanks!

Hello,

Photoepilation destroys the hair follicle (hair) using controlled flashes of light. The light used is very powerful. It is permanent.

If you buy 2 Groupons, yes you can treat 2 areas at the same time

It is deep cleansing facial, so it does include extractions. Facial usually takes not less then an hour

Whats the difference between photoepilation treatments and laser treatment?

The groupon says up to $720 value. So can we do underarms and upper lip for example which come to about $480 value for all six sessions of both on one groupon?

It is a little strange how the two reviews on the Charm Salon Yelp page are both five stars, non descriptive, and both by people that have published no other reviews.

Hi Iniko – The value is up to $720, which would be 6 treatments of the highest priced area being offered today (which is $120/treatment). You’ll still need two separate Groupons if you plan to do 12 treatments total (6 of each area)…but $198 total is still an awesome deal.

Thanks!
Sarah from Groupon

Do they having a parking lot? Or is there street parking available in the area?

Laser’s and IPL’s unique design offers you customized laser hair removal treatment according to your hair color, texture and body location. Any hair with at least some pigment in it can be treated effectively.

Is IPL safe for all skin types?

IPL is the first photoepilation procedure proven to effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals such as those of Black, Hispanic and Asian descent.

Is this for the lower abdomen or just the line around the navel?

Hello KP,

You can use your Grupon on lower abdomen or around the navel as well

Since you’re offering the groupon for inner thighs ($120 value), will the groupon also be applicable for a Brazilian bikini ($99 value)?

Going back to Jessica’s question: Is there a guarantee that they’ll fix it for free if the hair grows back after 6 treatments?

Hello Saumya,

Unfortunately, Groupon deal covers only Bikini line and not full Brazilian bikini

Hello Margaret,

However, some estimates put the success rate of laser hair removal as a permanent hair removal solution at 98%.

Is the procedure painful? Do you do eyebrows? Is the facial a different offer or included in the laser treatments?

Hello Naomi,

The procedure is Painless. Facial is a different offer. You can purchase 6 sessions of laser hair removal for $99 OR facial for $40

we do eyebrows, but only above your eyes

Hi Mila, if I buy this deal on groupon would it be possible to treat shoulder by paying extra in store? If so, how much extra?

Thanks

Hi Mila, do you also use IPL on the face for antiaging?
Can we use this groupon for that instead of hair removal?

Hello Nurettin,

You can use groupon to treat the shoulders, but there will additional $50 for each session, if you pay for six sessions upfront. Regular price for shoulders is $99 per treatment.

Hello Precision,

We do use IPL for antiaging. You can purchase a facial deal and instead of deep cleansing facial you can get an antiaging treatment

Hi, can I use this Groupon for sideburns?

Hi Mila. Is this $99 per each session with a limit of 6, or $99 total? Just asking because it seems a little too good to be true.
Thanks.

My question is similar to Mila’s: can I purchase the groupon to use IPL for acne? if so, should I also buy the facial deal instead?

Hello Mildred,

Yes you can use your Groupon to treat sideburns

Hello Hannah,

Yes you can purchase a facial deal and use it for acne treatment

Hello Vicky,

$99 is for total of six sessions. Each session is cover only one area. So, if you want to cover 2 areas, you can purchase 2 deals of $99

Mila ,
is this deal only for women? my husband has some lower back hair he’d like removed. is that included in this deal? would it cost extra?

Hello S Y,

The deal is for men and women. Unfortunately, lower back does not includes in the Groupon deal. It will cost additional $80 each session with a Groupon coupon

Mila, how much extra per session would it cost with this groupon deal to do half arms (the lower half)?

Hi Mila! Since the Groupon may be used towards the bikini line, do we have the option to upgrade to a brazilian bikini for an additional charge? If so, what would the additional charge be? Thanks!

Hello Beth,

Yes, you can definitely upgrade your Groupon. There will be an additional $40 for each session for full Brazilian bikini

Hi Mila,
I have one more concern. When does this deal expire? I hear you have up to one year. Is that right?
Thanks.

Hello Vicky,

Yes you have one year to use all the six sessions

Mila, how much extra per session would it cost with this groupon deal to do cheeks?

Hello Mildred,

There will be an additional charge of $30 for each session to do full cheeks. Thank you

Since I had work previously done on my sideburns, would I be able to purchase 1 Groupon and use 2 sessions towards my sideburns, and 4 sessions for my upper lip? Thanks for all your help and quick responses!

Hi Mila! One more question…Since the Groupon may be used towards the inner thighs, do we have the option to upgrade to a half/full leg for an additional charge? If so, what would the additional charges be for each? Thanks!

Hello Beth,

You can upgrade your Groupon to half leg, but t will be an additional charge of $80 and for full leg $100. Both options require payment for six treatments upfront. Thank you

Hi, I asked earlier but didn’t get a reply. What would be the additional cost to do half arms (the bottom half)? Thanks.

Hello Elham,

Sorry for the late respond. It will be an additional $40 for each session.

Does “toes” include hair on your feet?

i believe every single google review for this salon is fake. i clicked through to the usernames and they all have reviews for random places in different countries, as if the accounts were hijacked to give this salon 17 5-star reviews. comments like “my sister and i go here all the time!”, with the same user posting another 5 star review in a salon in texas saying “my mom and i love getting laser hair removal here”, etc etc. EXTREMELY RELUCTANT TO BUY. $99 is a good deal but this is FAR out in BK and besides being a potential time waster, a single session isn’t even worth $99 if they don’t have qualified technicians administering this! PLEASE VERIFY! maybe groupon staff can clarify this and expand on what kind of cross referencing they do to validate a business. reading the comments above, i’m sure i’m not the only person with hesitations about this salon.

Hello Patrick,

Yes toes may include hair on your feet

I’m actually in a similar boat as K. If someone from groupon could clarify, I would really appreciate it!

Hello K,

We understand your concern. Why don’t you clarify it to yourself and make a visit to salon. We will introduce you to our laser technicians and then you can give us your own review. Thank you

Hi,

Can I use this groupon on my stomach (not only the bellybutton line) ? And which laser are you using?

Thanks,

Maria

Hello Maria,

We use IPL-Photoepilation which, destroys the hair follicle (hair) using controlled flashes of light. The light used is very powerful and its permanent.

If its full stomach, then Groupon doesn’t cover it. If you want to treat full stomach, there will be an additional $40 charge for each session

Hi Mila,

thanks for your answer. Could you please specify the brand name of the IPL machine?

Thanks,

Maria

Hey Maria,

Record 618 is the brand of our machine

Are your technicians laser-certified and can you produce those certificates? How long have you been in business?
A friend of mine did IPL on her face in a place she did not know well and was burned so now has square burn marks.
thx

Hey Precision,

All our stuff are certified and NY State licensed professionals. We have been in business over six years. If you have any concerns, you are welcome to make a trip for a consultation before you make a purchase. Thank you
