great place for laser hair removal

by sarahbee87

I have had several sessions of laser hair removal done on my body and the hair has vanished for ever.I first started to go to azure about 14 years ago.I use to have electroylsis done on my upper legs.Then when they started to do laser hair removal back in 1996 or 1997 (i am not sure exactly what year, it was so long ago) they had managed to convice me to switch to laser.It was not easy for me to make my mind up because it was extremely expensive at that time.But i am so happy since it is now over 11 or 12 years that i am hair free all over my body.

• Pros: getting rid of the hair for good
• Cons: i can never get an appointment the same day that i call

The Best Place in NYC for Laser Hair Removal

by Russell009

When I went to this place for laser removal, their warm welcome and excellent customer service impressed me right of way. In addition, the consultant clearly explained the pros and cons involving laser hair removal. It was excellent experience for me. I started going to this place from 2007, since then I never had to give it a second thought. I highly recommend Azure for anyone who is looking for friendly professional environment and excellent customer service.

• Pros: Laser hair removal is highly effective
• Cons: None

Nice massage!

by avidreviewer

The spa provided a very nice tranquil environment. As soon as you walk in you feel the calmness and the decor of the spa is very relaxing. The staff were all very polite. You wait for your treatment in a small waiting room and I did not have to wait long for my treatment. The massage room itself was small but sufficient. The only negative thing was that there is no locker room in the spa, so you would change out of your clothes in the treatment room. The massage itself was very relaxing, the masseuse was strong and showed good technique. The masseuse worked on my back, arms, and legs. I felt that overall, the massage was great, and the experience was relaxing. If this spa has another special, I would definitely return.

• Pros: nice staff, good massage, nice looking spa
• Cons: no locker room

Chemical peel for slight dark patches on my check.

by CSMobileUser

I'm a Black American woman i have chocolate brown complexion. The so-called 'skin specialist' applied a peel to my entire face without really examining it. She applied 3 peels to my face within 6 week now my entire face looks really 2 toned. It looks worst. I spend close to a thousand dollars to look worst. I regret ever going there. They clearly don't know what they r doing. Please avoid this place my black sisters i wish i was warned before. Now i'm soo depress.

Avoid!

by Bill Randle

Anyone who appreciates a decent massage will be utterly disappointed with Azure.

1) The actual massage rooms are so small there's no chair on which to put your clothes.

2) The therapist didn't check with me to make sure the light or music were acceptable.

3) There is no room at the end of the table for the massage therapist to reach your feet, so don’t expect to have your feet touched.

4) The therapists don't use bolsters for your knees or feet, and there are no eye pillows or masks for when you flip onto your back.

5) The therapist was fine at generalized “rubbing” but I got the sense she didn't have much idea about what was underneath my skin. Her strokes were vague and didn’t target specific muscle groups.

6) Most of what my therapist did in terms of strokes wasn’t symmetrical. So she made certain moves on one side of my body that weren’t replicated on the other.

7) I told the therapist that I had a pain in my lower right back but she only spent an extra 15 second there.

8) The therapist didn’t touch my head or face once.

9) The therapist sniffled throughout the session and I thought I felt a drip on my back at one point. I hope I was mistaken.

10) The therapist never asked how anything was until we got to the end, and then she said, “Are you feeling relaxed?”

11) I mentioned my dissatisfaction to the person out front and he was entirely unconcerned. I told him that the head and feet were important areas of the body to miss and he simply said they concentrate on the back and let me walk out feeling dissatisfied.

I’ve had hundreds of massages in my life and this is at or near the bottom. I should have been suspicious when I noticed the advertisement on the wall for Botox. Don’t waste your money, folks, they’re going to be out of business in six months.

• Pros: Ambiance is acceptable
• Cons: Everything else

Worst Massage

by dorani

I just had a 75-minute massge at Azure last week. Where do I begin with how awful it was?

-The masseuse did not intorudce himself to me. He just told me to get undressed and lay under the covers. Not a single question about areas that I wanted him to concentrate on, areas that he should stay away from, how much pressure I wanted - nothing.

-When he came back into the room he just immediatley started working on my back - he left the harsh, bright lights on.

-He coughed and cleared his throat throughout the massage.

-He checked his cell phone and TEXTED with one hand while massaging with the other. Nice.

-His technique was dull and careless.

-The background music was full of skips and jumps.

Basically, the whole experience sucked. I will not be back nor do I reccommend it at all.

• Pros: Convenient Location

Impressive technology, Great results

by graciela202

As a Columbia university student, I have been looking for a while now for a decent, well priced, effective skin hair removal site so that I dont have to shave every few days. Azure went above and beyond all my expectations. It seems like each time I go in, there's a new technological device that does something new and futuristic. I personally go every month to get my facial hair removed (as embarrassing as that sounds). I use Dr. Zak (I think thats how it's spelled) and couldn't be more pleased with his work. I 'd definitely recommend him to anybody!

• Pros: Professional Hair Removal, Best customer service

average place to go

by rbrb10011

I visited Azure a couple of times and was never impressed with their massages. I had three different massage therapist already and I still won't recommend anyone this place. A co worker (who recommended me this spa) did laser hair removal here and now she regrets. I wonder if it had something to do with the job they did on her.

• Pros: good reviews
• Cons: average

Rediscover youth with their photofacials

by gishwilk

My skin was covered with dark spots and sun damage which caused me to look unhealthy. Since I have had a really bad skin, I went to the Azure day spa & laser center to get laser treatments. It was recommended by one of my friends. I go for treatments every 2-3 weeks. They do wonders with my skin. It’s amazing, after a couple of sessions my skin looks healthier and I look more self-confident then ever. Technology has done what years of topical ointments

couldn’t.
