Ideal Image West Village

Don’t do it ppl. me and my 2 sisters did their facial hair removal plan and it did not work!!! They charged us 2800 each and that money is lost… i cant believe i fell for that!!! They blame it on hormones… so why even bother doing this expensive and painful procedure if its my hormones??? Agh

Unfortunately, I have been extremely displeased with my results. Not only has the service not been up to par but my hair has actually grown back thicker.
I decided to pursue hair removal for my chin area when I began to notice blemishes from a few hairs (about 3 – 4) that I had been regularly removing. I’ve never actually had issues with excessive chin hair aside from the 3 – 4 rogue strands that my family said looked like whiskers.
Tired of my families snide remarks and now blemishes, I decided to see what Ideal Image could offer.
They informed me that the laser would only pick up the course hairs which I was definitely excited about. However, they failed to mention the potential for INCREASED hair growth. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to me.
By the 3^rd treatment, I informed the West Village employees that I noticed I had more noticeable hairs in places that were not a problem before. They encouraged me to continue the treatment to see improvement. By the 6^th treatment my complaint had not changed and I received the same response from their staff. Needless to say, my results never improved even once I was done with the procedure.
They told me they would send my complaint in to their corporate office and I should hear something within 2 weeks. It has been 6 weeks and still no news.
Take my experience as a warning. Somethings are not worth making worse.

As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. All the staff was extremely nice and I didn’t feel awkward for coming in for my consultation. They are very professional and personable. I am looking forward to my results as this was my first treatment.

Waaaaaay overpriced!!! No thank you
Staff is really friendly and try really hard to back up their excessive charges but it’s more than double the price of the other places that I received quotes from.

Much more painful than they let on but worth it

Great results, but insanely high prices. I paid a little over 3k for a full bikini treatment (that was a discount). It has been like 4 months after my last treatment and I got 97% of unwanted hair removed. I was aware that light hair will not be able to be removed in some cases. The technicians were really professional, but i was a little concerned that i got different instructions on how to use the numbing cream by different nurses. I got treatment in Miami, Minneapolis, and Dallas. It just happened that I moved a lot during that year so I like that I had that option to get treatment in different cities. I must say for the crazy amount of money I paid I would expect to get free touchups in the future, but I will have to pay $ 90 every time For future touchups. Great result, but very expensive.

I have been going to the West Village Ideal Image now for over 2 years and 3 lasered areas later! I have had my full legs done, and now doing my underarms and bikini line. Yes, it is pricey, but to me, it’s worth every penny to have permanent smoothness and professionals working on me. The ladies at this location, Bri, Bethany, Kat, Allie and Alex are all fantastic and professional and friendly. That is very important to me. I like to spend my hard earned money at companies that not only come through with what they promise and advertise, but that employ friendly, respectful people. These ladies are absolutely all of the above. I was a little concerned about taking my clothes off at first, but these ladies made me feel comfortable and unjudged. The laser works extremely well! My legs are smooth like a baby’s butt! LOL! And I know if I am not happy with an area, or if a few hairs come back, they they will go out of their way to make sure they take care of the problem area with no questions asked. The physical location is clean and always fresh. I never feel like I’m laying in the last patient’s mess. They always offer a water or a soda when I arrive, and I am always treated like my business is important. That is HUGE for me. I highly recommend this company, and this location specifically. Thank you sweet ladies, for making my visits most enjoyable! Thank you Ideal Image for your excellent quality service, and I will continue to come to you for all my laser hair removal needs… or until I’m completely bald all over. Hahaha!
Sincerely,
Pamela Dawn D.

I’ve been going to Ideal Image for 5 years now, and I’m still impressed with the level of expertise as well as the consistency of this Ideal Image location. Because Ideal Image has the resources, they are able to employ specialized RN’s to perform the procedures. They offer really great specials at times, and I’ll soon be going back for new treatment!

Ideal Image in West Village is great! They are very professional and super friendly! Everyone is willing to talk about their experience and they are more than eager to answer any questions you have. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable and welcome. The machines are great and the experience is more than beneficial! I love my results and I’m looking to get more procedures done. I highly recommend ideal image for laser hair removal and any other procedures that they offer!

Ideal Image is a very professionally run business and the staff is as accommodating and helpful as can be. The way they treat your appointment is quick and easy, and Brianna is very helpful in scheduling my appointments. Alex took the time to explain the procedures and is always smiling, you can tell she really enjoys her job. It goes to show when you have happy employees it transcends to happy customers!!! Keep up the great work.

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am with my laser hair removal from Ideal Image! I am 7 treatments in, 2 remaining and I have easily lost 70% if not more of my hair (I am currently doing my underarms and lower legs, next I will be adding my full bikini), plus the hair that does come back is so much thinner and barely noticeable. Currently I can go 8+ weeks without having to touch my razor or think about needing anything. I am absolutely sure by my last treatment I will see 100% of the results I expected in the beginning. I felt they did a great job of explaining to me everything I could expect and it has all been exactly as they described. Yes it is expensive in the beginning to do, but in the long run it is not and its totally worth it. To anyone complaining about prices after trying to take the cheap way out of things you realize that quality does really come at a price and I personally am willing to pay for that better experience. The staff at the West Village location is so friendly, every time I walk in I am recognized and greeted with a smile. I highly recommend Ideal Image to anyone who asks me.

I am so impressed with the results I’ve received from Ideal Image. The hair removal process has been relatively painless, and the staff has been kind and professional. Brianna at the front desk is always welcoming and very accommodating with scheduling appointments. Bethany is a great nurse, she’s smart, and amazingly thorough in her treatments. This is a great investment in yourself, and well worth the time and expense.

Ideal Image is hands down the best tatto & laser hair removal place in Dallas! They have the best staff that really make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. All of the procedures are quick and easy! Highly HIGHly recommended!

I started using Ideal Image with the understanding that I could transfer my appointments to the Denver office because I was moving, the Denver office never opened so I had to do my appointments in Texas whenever I came home. Appointments were canceled without notifying me, when I had flown in and then my sessions expired because I was able to get in, so I paid for 9 treatments and didn’t get to use all of them. Definitely won’t be using them again.

So disappointed never even got to do the consultation waited over thirty minutes passed my appointment time didn’t even acknowledge me or explain their lateness. Rude staff. Glad I didn’t waste my time and money.

Ideal Image is such a rip off!
First, I have multiple friends that have used Ideal Image and recommended it to me BUT they all admit they are paying way to much.
I encourage people to go shop around before you go in there. And the woman you meet for the consultation at Ideal Image pressures you to buy their «discounted» packages.
I wanted to get my full bikini done and it would cost me with a special discounted price $ 1700. This includes nine sessions– So I asked her what if I do not need all nine do I get a discount? The response then you do not use them. WTF?! I am going to pay for sessions I may not need? How does that make sense.
Right after I walked out, I called multiple places (12 others actually) who would offer the same thing for less than a $ 1000. At Ideal you have to pay $ 45 for numbing cream. Other places you don’t have to pay for the numbing cream. Also they say «we are the only company that will give you added insurance after your 9 sessions and you only have to pay $ 65 if any of your hairs ever come back.» Most other places have the same deal.
I have done a few sessions somewhere else they did not rip me off and I love the results (and so does my boyfriend) plus they are doing other parts of my body for free!
All in all, I encourage people to shop around and don’t get sold on their phony bull shit. :)

After all of those painful appointments, I AM STILL SHAVING! I would not recommend this «journey».

for the prices, don’t expect any customer service. the appointments are required to be within a particular window for best results, and i have not had a single appoinment (made months in advance) ever not rescheduled. that is to say that every single appointment has been rescheduled and not maintaining my «window», so i am not expecting good results, and for the cost, this has been totally not worth it.

INSANE PRICES!!! But seemingly competent.
A friend of mine used and recommended Ideal Image (she had great results but had price concerns). I’ve never tried laser hair removal but I’ve been doing alot of research to decide where I #1 trust my body to be lasered & #2 somewhere I can afford.
Ideal Image seemed competent and knowledgeable. I had a very nice consultant (Viviana). She was kind to address all of my questions at the appointment.
But…
They sold 9 treatment packages. Most of my research says the average is 4 – 7 treatments for an area. I wouldn’t want to pay for unneeded sessions. I plan to do it right and do as many as it takes but I don’t want to pay all this cash up front for services I might or might not even need.
Also, there was an extra «discount» at the actual consult. I felt so pressured to buy that I didn’t voice my opinion that the already 45% discounted rate was over 40% MORE than what I guessed it would cost. Why wouldn’t I want to go several places and compare doctors, facilities, costs? Afterall it is a MEDICAL treatment. I’m not just going to the first surgeon I meet and say, «You’re so nice, you can do my quadruple bypass.»
Ergo– I have chosen to keep them as an option for the future if I can score some extra cash, but I’m continuing to research in interview (go to consults) for several other places.
