Beam Laser Spa

They’re so attentive, super friendly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re thinking about it, I wouldn’t hesitate coming here.

I have been visiting Beam for years — although, the longer it has been, the need to visit has been less frequent because my treatments were so effective! I no longer shave my legs at all and have seen amazing reduction of hair in every place I’ve treated.
Beam is clean, professional, and extremely organized. They document your progress and make sure to hit every spot. After every appointment, I was invited back for a free touch up. Their laser is extremely gentle and they take the time to check in with you before, during, and after to provide advice and guidance.

Very nice, professional laser spa! I have had very bad experience before I discovered «Beam». My sessions are over, and I am more then pleased with results!!! will be back on September for other areas to be done;) don’t waste your time and money, come straight to «beam»;))) what I liked about them — honesty! They will never lie if they know that you are not a candidate.

I am just over half way on my treatments here for my bikini, and I’ve seen a HUGE improvement. After my first treatment my hair grew back so much thinner, and I didn’t have anymore issues and now I pretty much never have to shave! It’s a very clean and comfortable office. And everyone there is so nice. I felt instantly comfortable. Of course it is painful, but it only lasts for a second. Sure, It is expensive, and I was hesitant at first because of that. But you get what you pay for, and the result is so worth it. Having someone zap your skin with lasers is so not the time to bargain hunt!

I am really sad today to learn from Andrea that I am not a good candidate to continue my laser hair removal on my legs due to concerns for mild hyperpigminted spots that I had developed on the legs after my First treatment on the legs. They have disappeared now and my legs look fabulous and I was really looking forward to my next treatment but unfortunately got a call from Andrea today less than a week before my appointment that she recommends discontinuing treatment on my legs as she was very concerned that I may develop more hyperpigmentation which may take much much longer to go away.
I have had great results on my underarms and brazilian and she recommended to continue with the touch ups there and to continue further sessions of my buttocks as well. I am of Indian origin with fair to olive skin and dark hair.
Although I really appreciate the complete honesty on their behalf, I really wish I had been prepared for this kind of outcome and decision on their behalf. I was taken aback to find out less than a week before my appointment that I should not continue with treaments on the legs. Infact approximately 6 weeks ago, I was reassured by Andrea that such hyperpigmentation may develop and usually goes away with time which it did. Infact she was very prompt in reaching me with my concerns and even mailed me a cream to help heal faster. I was very impressed but now I feel helpless as I would have to research from scratch and find out if I can still get laser hair removal from somewhere else where they are aware of this issue and if there are ways to deal with it example, more gap between treatments or something. I understand LHR is not for everyone, but given Beam’s experience and professionalism I really wished I was informed of this possibility of advising discontinuation of treatment with an expected and not uncommon side effect of laser treatment (esp on olive skin) in a timely manner. I do appreciate Andrea’s advise and she will also be recommending some dermatologists in the area who may have an expert advice and laser treatment options for me.
So, here it is. Beam is honest, professional, courteous and safe. Although I am really sad with the above situation and wished I had more information prior to investing in lhr on my legs, I still highly appreciate their honesty. I hope I can find an honest expert safe professional advice for my legs in the future if possible.

Absolutely LOVE this spa! I’ve had laser sessions in two different areas (underarm and legs) and truly amazed at the results. Amanda was very helpful and made me feel comfortable. She answered all my questions. Can’t wait to go back for some more :)

Awesome place, super clean and run by top professional operators. I had amazing results that totally justified the price I paid for the service. At first I was looking for cheaper deals, but now after seeing the results I understand why saving couple of hundred dollars is not worthy at all when it come to laser. You may save 200 $ dollars but no way you can buy a new arm/​leg/​bikini with that if something goes wrong. It’s a risky treatment and has to be done properly.
I went for single treatments (instead of a 6 treat. package or similar) cause I wanted to test it first and honestly I couldn’t be happier.

I love this place. Clean environment. Friendly professional employees.
I’ve officially finished my 6 treatment Brazilian laser hair removal and I am very pleased with the results. The YAG laser was used on me and there’s been about an 80% reduction in hair. I’ve heard some absolute horror stories of laser hair removal and in the end I’m glad that I didn’t give in to one of those Groupon deals and chose Beam. It’s not the cheapest but they do offer seasonal specials.
My advice for a first timer would be to:
1) always get the numbing cream (70 bucks a tube not included in price) and
2) take a strong pain reliever before the apt.
The end result… is…just…SO…worth…it.

glad i chose this place. clean, friendly, organized and great laser equipment. i experienced little to no pain. i responded well to the laser hair removal. they also offered free touchups after every session (and it is like getting an entire treatment for free) and they dont take tips. well worth it!

I absolutely love Beam Laser Spa! it is nice, clean, neat, and always smells nice :-) The entire staff there is friendly and professional. Amanda is absolutely amazing! She is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I have had several areas treated (legs, underarms, bikini, etc.) and couldn’t be happier with my results. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have laser done. Well worth the price!

I have visited many places to find the best place for my Bikini laser treatment, and went to places for consultations and to check out the places.
This project took me almost two years to complete, but I am very happy that I finally decided to come to Beam Laser Spa even though their session is the most expensive one among all other salons for Brazilian Bikini Treatment. It’s worth it. You won’t regret it. I am happy with my decision of going here.
Because of the area and the duration of treatment, I thought it’s good to explore the salons carefully. I visited salons to see if they meet my criteria including the salons’ management.
1)On my visit, I carefully observed the staff members’ professional manner including hospitality, and the knowledge of machines and treatment.
2)I made sure the receptionists there are friendly with good attitude. This will tell you how serious they are on their business. Some didn’t even pass the phone inquiry. (I hope owners know why they are not gaining customers regardless of cheap offers and advertising they are selling. It’s the receptionist!!)
3)If you ever see any bad reviews on Unilocal or somewhere, I tired to see if I would be able to spot them as mentioned (90% were true!).
4)I asked the deals they offer. Surprisingly or not, most of the time, they usually have «the secret offer» that are not mentioned anywhere, and try to give you a deal to decide by the next day. The worst one, I got the deal on Groupon the next day with cheaper price.
You will be visiting there almost a year or over, and the AREA for treatment is very sensitive and private, you have to feel comfortable and pleasant, and like the place/​poeple no matter what.
During my journey (!), BLS always scored the highest on the list among other treatment salons in Manhattan. I knew this would be the place even from my first visit, but the price was always the issue. I went on to explore and more I explored, it was confirming BLS is the only place you’d want to go to experience.
They hardly have promos, but that’s something I admired about. Keeping their scarsity high.
Now, I have been attending for sessions.
BLS is very strict for instructions and don’t compromise for session to go perfet which I found it they are very serious and professional.
They are very careful with my health conditions, and attentative with every treatment to make sure I am happy with it.
I am glad what I paid is returned in the service and the result.
I highly recommend this place. If the price was bit less, I would definately give 5 stars, but again you get what you expect.

Ladies!
This is the place to be if you want safe, effective Laser Hair Removal! I’m a bargain-​hunter so I was shopping around on Groupon seeing what cheap deals I could get because I did not want to spend an arm and a leg. After reading some of the nightmarish reviews of some of the places of business Groupon had discounts and deals for, I decided, «hmm, maybe it’s not such a good idea to be cheap when it comes to getting hair zapped from your body with lasers!!» LOL.
So I chose to cut back on my online shopping, save up some money and come to Beam Laser Spa. It is pricey, but so very worth it. I first came here a year ago to get a complimentary test patch to see how the lasers would react to my body/​skin. I love that they offer a free test patch, which shows they put their customer’s safety first and are not money-​hungry. Since it was my first time, I was super nervous. But the beautiful Andrea, took me through all of the steps and gave me all of the detailed information I would need to know regarding the treatment process, before, during, and after.
The test patch was on my leg and hurt like a rubber-​band snapping against your skin really hard and fast! I had my navel done and that hurt alot! It hurt like a BEE-​YOTCH! But the pain only lasts for less than 15 seconds or so. While doing it, just think about the end result! It is so worth it. I have completed my six treatments and am happy with the results. I get touch ups every now and then because I like to be completely hair free when possible, lol. Keep in mind, laser hair removal kills roughly 80−90% of the hair follicles after 6 treatments.
If you plan on getting laser hair removal, it’s good to book way in advance. Especially if you plan on being bikini ready for the summer, it’s best to get those kinds of treatments (legs, bikini, etc) in the winter because each treatment is supposed to be 6 – 8 weeks apart and they do not recommend sun exposure while having your treatments.
The staff here is so friendly, professional, comforting, and non-​judgmental! Also, they do not accept TIPS. So the price you see is the price you pay, plus tax. I highly recommend Beam Laser Spa for anyone contemplating Laser Hair Removal. They will tell you if you are a candidate and will coach you through the sessions. It really is worth it! Love this place. You owe it to yourself to at least check it out! :)

I love this place. I have been going here for almost two years.
This place was recommended to me by a friend. I had a chin hair problem for many, many years. These girls saved me.
Yes, it is pricey, but WELL worth it! No more shaving, tweezing and worrying about what people think if they notice some hairs on my chin.
I am fair skinned and dark hair. The laser works perfectly on me. I go back for maintenance every 3 to 4 months.
The customer service is awesome and the place is very clean, inviting and sanitary.
They also have sales through certain websites sometimes, which is great!
As soon as I have some extra funds, I will be continuing my quest on having no hair on my body.
If you are going to go anywhere, go here! You will not be disappointed.

This place is simply awesome. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and the service is top notch. Any question you have, they’ll answer thoroughly, providing you with all the information you need, and some. They are also very honest about what to expect and make recommendations with your best interests in mind.
Amanda is phenomenal! She really knows her stuff and is the utmost professional. She’s reassuring and kind, and I can’t recommend her enough. I’m still in the process of getting treatments on multiple areas, however, a few sessions in and I’m already seeing great results. I have brown skin and Amanda explained exactly how she would work with my skin type and what to expect. She was also very clear on how to prepare for treatment and how to care for the treated area afterward. There was never any confusion. And treatments are so quick! They sting a little, but if you’ve ever waxed, or nicked yourself shaving, you’ve felt worse.
Waxing had become a huge time and money sink for me, so I’m thrilled to have found a place that could provide a more permanent option as well as great service and a comfortable, easy experience.

One of the best places i have ever tried. Their professional staff and atmosphere make the whole process smooth and not so stressful… any of the technicians have their own method and i tried almost all of them to make sure i got the best results! And i did! Even though its pricey, its worth every dollar.

This review is long overdue. I absolutely love laser beam spa. The ladies are professional and the place is spotless… definitely not a hole in the wall dirty place. I have been treated with about 5 ladies since the almost 2 yrs I’ve been a client there. Mostly because I’ve scheduled myself and been treated on different days and times. I’m sure you can request to only be treated by one person. Although I hear the prices are a little bit more expensive then other places it’s well worth it. It’s hard enough to spread wide like an eagle for a stranger but I never feel uncomfortable. They are soooo nice, to the point, and professional. I started seeing results quick too. Can’t wait to do more areas.

I chose Beam after reading their stellar reviews here on Unilocal.Now after being a Beam client for about a year now, I can confirm that their five star rating is well deserved.
I have struggled with painful (and embarrassing) ingrown hairs for as long as I can remember. For someone like me, laser hair removal is truly amazing. After wasting time and money on countless products and painful waxing procedures, discovering Beam was a dream come true. Even if you don’t have problematic ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is still really cool.
Now to be completely fair, Beam is the only place I’ve ever gone to for laser hair removal, so I guess I can’t really compare them to any other places (though I’ve certainly heard a few laser hair removal horror stories from friends). Still, Beam is amazing. The facilities are clean and up to date, and I find their lasers to be relatively painless, though I’m sure that depends on your personal tolerance.
The staff is what makes Beam truly shine. Everyone there is super friendly and they really know how to make you feel comfortable. Having someone zap your privates with a laser can be pretty awkward, but at Beam it’s not. They are also very straightforward about what your expectations should be, which is very important. When I asked if it made sense to have them use the laser on some of the finer hairs adorning my body, I was told (by one of the owners) that it would be a waste of my money. Her honesty was refreshing, especially when she could have easily lied to make herself more money.
Last year, one of my sessions was scheduled in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Beam called to check on me and see if I’d still be able to make my appointment. I told them I would be there. Unfortunately I was driving into Manhattan, or at least I was attempting to, and even though I left myself a decent time cushion I still ended up being an hour late. I felt absolutely awful, but the ladies at Beam were so nice about it. They still treated me right away, let me charge up my iPhone, and refused to take the tip money I offered.
I’ve had sessions with Joanna, Andréa, and Amanda, and they have all been spectacular.
The only negative thing I could possibly say about Beam is that they are a bit pricey. Now that laser hair removal is becoming more popular, and deal websites are abundant, it isn’t hard to find much cheaper alternatives. I happened to luck out and I bought several Beam packages from Gilt City. The Gilt prices were significantly cheaper. I managed to get six underarm, six brazilian, and three lower leg sessions all at Gilt City prices. Once you have completed six sessions in any one area, you are then eligible for the very reduced maintenance pricing for any additional sessions on that same area. Now I’m crossing my fingers hoping they use Gilt again so that I can get a deal on my next three leg sessions. I’m getting antsy though, so it looks like I may just bite the bullet and pay full price. I’d rather pay full price for sessions at Beam before ever cheating on them by using a different place. Beam is worth it!

Amanda was my technician and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was ultra-​professional, made sure I knew everything there was to know about laser hair removal (this was my first time) and kept me aware of progress throughout the process (I had three sessions). She worked quickly and efficiently — I was usually in and out within 30 minutes. She made me feel very comfortable and had an excellent «bedside manner.»
The office was always courteous and flexible with my schedule, even accommodating a last-​minute reschedule when I was sick.
As far as the treatment itself, it’s a piece of cake if you’ve been waxing for years like i had. I’m very pleased with the results so far and I will definitely go back to Beam if I decide to have more laser removal done in the future.

If you are considering Laser hair removal. The only place you should be thinking about is Beam. I have been considering laser for many years and was just too nervous to dish out the money. I looked and talked around the the best reviews were from Beam and they are 100% right. I am half way with upper legs and Brazilian and the results I have seen so far are beyond amazing. Amanda and Andrea are so great and nice and make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.
Yes, it’s painful. I have done waxing, shaving but nothing results like this. You just have to think of the end result and it’s fine.
GO TO BEAM!

I found Beam through its impeccable Unilocal ratings, and I’m back here to pile on to the existing load of rave reviews. It is everything you hope for in a high-​end laser hair removal clinic: the best state-​of-​the art laser (Candela GentleMax), the cleanliness of a well-​run medical office combined with the relaxing girly ambience of a spa, extremely knowledgeable and skilled staff, and fair and consistent pricing. They don’t do Groupons or special promos other than the 6-​pack promotional price. Laser is not a cheap, but it works — which is why people pay more for the best machines, and why you should be wary of deals that are too-​good-​to-​be-​true.
More than anything other factor, you want to get treated with the best quality laser on the market, because a top-​quality machine will mitigate any other variables (such as technician training, for example) and get you more consistent, long-​lasting results. The Candela GentleMax is one of the best lasers out there, featuring both the Alexandrite and the Nd: Yag wavelengths (the Alexandrite is best for fair/​medium skin, the Nd: Yag for women of color).
It’s worth it to buy the 6-​pack of treatments, since you will need at least 4 sessions, and up to 6 (or more) if your hair/​skin types are stubborn. But you can also buy sessions individually and see how many you need. The best candidates have fair skin with very dark coarse hair, but the laser technology has improved drastically over the past few years, and even women with darker skintones can see great results with the Nd: Yag.
At the free consultation (where there isn’t upselling or sales pressure), you get a free zap on a test patch, to see how you’ll respond to the treatment. Based on my free zap, I went back for the full Kit & Caboodle. My technician, Amanda, is the sweetest, most knowledgeable person: you feel comfortable while getting zapped.
I did research on the best lasers and procedures beforehand, comparing prices and salons in New York, and Beam came out on top. I started my laser sessions in May 2012, and I have had INCREDIBLE results as of December, about 4 – 5 sessions in (note: I have fair skin, dark Asian hair, so I was an ideal candidate for laser removal). By «incredible results,» I mean I have not shaved at all in 2 months, which means going to yoga or anything requiring skin exposure no longer requires pre-​planning. It is the most liberating change in my life.
Note on pain: Laser hair removal does hurt, and more than just a «rubber band snap» in my opinion. But it’s less far painful than a Brazilian wax! I think the pain on underarms is mild. The pain in the bikini area is significantly greater since there is less adipose tissue there to absorb the laser’s heat. To counteract this, you can get a Rx from your dermatologist for a topical lidocaine cream. I apply it sparingly to the area to be zapped (it is toxic if absorbed through skin in large doses) about 30 minutes before the laser session. The lidocaine needs to be removed from skin with a cleansing pad, right before the laser is used. Be sure to talk to your technician to confirm this is appropriate for you, and let her know if you are using lidocaine so it can be cleansed off properly.
