Hellenic Laser Spa

The intro massage (1 hour long) is $ 40 but is $ 30 on Groupon. I got my massage with Sean Fox & found it to be extremely relaxing. Appointments are necessary. His schedule was pretty packed so I had to book out pretty far. You tell the masseuse the areas you want targeted. For me it was my back (particularly the upper back) because I have some knots and tension there from long hours of sitting hunched over by a computer. The room is cozy warm and the bed and blanket are super comfortable. The bed is warmed and has a knee pillow for extra comfort. The masseuse used warmed massage oil that smells pretty nice. I dozed half into sleep several times. There’s relaxing music during your massage and the lights are dimmed. This massage was much better than the one you get inside Pacific Ocean Market for around $ 25.

The staff is very friendly and the spa is clean but DO NOT go here for laser hair removal! I went there for both Brazilian and under arms and I still have all of my hair. I was also burned by their laser! I have fair skin and dark course hair-​the perfect candidate for hair removal. I have gotten it done on my bikini line with another spa and it worked after 5 treatments. They use IPL lasers at Hellenic and not the lasers needed to kill the follicles! Do not waste your money and time on this place! I’m so frustrated how much I wasted! Go there for facials and other skin treatments but not hair removal.

I recently had the pleasure of going to Hellenic Laser for a consultation on the fractional laser for a scar on my face & to even out the rest of my skin tone. I was VERY happy with their pricing (delightfully shocked actually) & can’t wait to get this scar I’ve had on my face since I was a kid taken care of before my wedding! The staff is extremely friendly & professional & the spa is clean. I am looking very forward to my procedure in a week. Diana was my consultant & will be performing my laser treatment. I trust her very much & have faith that she will do a wonderful job! I also had the privilege of interacting with Laura who is another consultant & look forward to working with her as well! What a wonderful energy & personality she has!

I will start by saying the staff is always friendly and the place is clean, so I am sorry for them to share this. And I have not tried all their services, so there may be some services that are ok. For faces and skin, I would be VERY concerned about getting anything done here. I had a treatment done on my arms to get rid of dark spots and freckles. My arms were burned and blistered by the tech. For about 10 weeks after the service, I had weird stripes on my arms so I couldn’t wear anything other than long sleeves. I went back twice for them to fix it. George tried to fix it both times and while it helped a little bit, what ultimately fixed it was time and getting in the sun to even out the coloring. I appreciate he made an effort to fix it, but still am upset at the waste of money. I paid $ 900 for nothing. And I am left with some mild scarring I am hoping will go away eventually from the original treatment. I am probably being far to reasonable about this because I think other folks would have had a much stronger reaction. I am just happy I didn’t let them touch the skin on my face.

Worst customer service. High pressure upsells. Went in for laser hair removal and got pressured to buy several packs of Botox, which I had never even done before. Was promised if I didn’t like it I would get a full refund. And when I asked for the refund because I saw no results, they would not give it to me! Feel really cheated and out hundreds of dollars. :-(

I bought a LivingSocial deal for 6 laser hair removal treatments from Hellenic Laser Spa. I’ve only had two treatments, but I can already tell a huge difference. I’m getting so excited– I may never have to shave again:)
Before starting treatment, there is a consultation where they explain the process, how it works, addresses the do’s and don’ts, and risks. Then, you can schedule your treatments. A nurse does the treatment and she is very good. I was a little concerned when she talked me into buying their exfoliator and moisturizer. I usually regret buying products from spas, but this product I really like. I actually look forward to my exfoliation days.
The facility is nice and clean and the staff is very pleasant. Overall, I think Hellenic is a great find!
Things to know before you go: Laser hair removal is hurts! Ouch! But, it’s less painful than waxing and a lot more convenient than shaving, at least that’s what I tell myself.

Both my husband and I have been here several times – at least 6 times each for laser hair removal and it has not worked AT ALL! I have complained and they keep reassuring me that it will work but I have not noticed a difference. I am beyond disappointed.

Before I get to my real review, I think it’s insane that there’s 20-​something 5 star reviews for Hellenic on the day the Groupon came out. I have a favorable opinion of this place, but it worries me that it seems like they’re apparently so desperate that they have to flood Unilocal with positive reviews of themselves.
That being said…
I first started going to Hellenic in the Wash Park location when their last deal came out (Groupon, I think. Maybe Living Social?) for hair removal.
I’ve been happy with the results. Everyone has been professional, the space is always clean, and my appointments have never been more than 5 or 10 minutes behind schedule. I’m seeing results from the laser hair removal as well! Diana, the technician, is very good at what she does.
I recently started a round of photofacials at the Lowry location. They were totally upfront about possible side effects, pain and recover time, and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. The results have been fabulous as well! I’ve only had one (I’ll get 4 total) but 10 days later, I can already see a slight difference in my brown spots. I also find myself putting on less makeup and being all around happier with my skin. Hooray!
My only complaint is the upsell. I get that this is business for them, but I feel like I’m consistently being told that I need a new product or could benefit from a new treatment. I’m a fairly low maintenance girl and had never considered Botox until it was brought up more than once how much I need it. I haven’t done it, and they do take no for an answer. I guess I just see a medispa as a place that should always leave me feeling good about how I look, not looking in the mirror feeling like I look old or «need» to be shot up with stuff. To their credit though, the one product I have bought from them (vitasilk after my photofacial) makes my face soooo soft and nice.

Great staff and service. Great for men and women.
