American Laser Centers Informative - Consumer beware - Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal
Review by ProHealth on 2010-09-04
Hello everyone,

Just wanted you guys to know to be careful when dealing with Americal Laser Centers. I went to sign up for a laser hair removal package treatment and they asked me for $300 deposit before my first treatment, but before my first appointment (which was in 7 days after paying deposit), I found out that I am pregnant, so I couldn't do it. I went back to cancel it and get $300 refund - but they said that they have $300 cancellation fee, so I will not be refunded!!! I was fighting it with their corporate office and with BBB with no results. So, I basically paid $300 in nowhere and did not get any service.

So, unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure that you want to finish your treatment - do not sign up with them!!
Also, I would look look for a health insurance that might cover some of the hair removal cost if it causes any health problems- for example, ingrown hair.
Here is a good site I used to find my insurance (click on the thumbnail on the page to go to the site):

Thanks for reading and good luck!

What did your contract say about cancellations? Does it say there is a $300.00 cancellation fee?

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

You should sit down with the owner and determine if you are able to have the service performed after your pregnancy. At least you would get use of your deposit.
