Ideal Image Providence

The other reviewers are right– something just isn’t right about this place. You can only find an 800 number online for them, no local numbers whatsoever. If you call the number to talk to someone they will be very nice but proceed I explain to you, in elaborate detail, why you MUST go in for a consultation if you want to know prices. They claim that they can’t give you a «ball park» price or even a price range. Not even a guess. They say the pricing depends on your skin, hair, and body area. Then… you find out that was all a crock of shit. The prices are what they are no matter who you are or what skin/​hair combo you have. And those prices are INSANE. I have the perfect combo (light skin & thick dark hair) and I went in just because there was a 70% off promotion all over he radio. Turns out they were only offering 60% off and they STILL wanted $ 3,200 for Lower Legs! WTF?! She told me $ 1500 for underarms and $ 2400 for bikini. They WILL offer you a credit card and tell you that there’s no money down and 0% interest– but they don’t mention that you need to have perfect credit for that (thankfully I knew better). They make you agree to pay for all treatments (or arrange to pay for them) upfront, by signing a contract. This way, if you’re not happy with your results, you still have to pay thousands of dollars anyway. :) It was all really shady. The girl I spoke to was nice but she was clearly just trying to sell me something. I only gave this 2 stars because there was a licensed physician’s assistant performing the treatment. They will try to convince you that their laser and process is so much better than everyone else’s and that other people are scamming you but just be smart and do your research. Laser hair removal is expensive but not a complete rip off like Ideal Image. Find a better place to spend your money like I plan to. Best of luck!

I have to say this is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. I don’t think the first reviewer was being dramatic at all in her review. I’m sure some customers have had some positive experiences, but I wish I did more research before going to this place. When I called to schedule an appointment I asked what their prices were for various areas, and she told me that it varies for each customer and I had to wait until my consultation. When I arrived for my consultation I met with a sales representative, who proceeded to tell me about the over priced packages they were selling. Although she was very sweet, I thought it was annoying that my consultation was with a sales representative and not one of the laser hair removal technicians, since that was what I was told over the phone. The packages were supposedly at a «discount» because they were running some promotion, but even at that price they were way more expensive than most other places.
Any company that wants you to sign a contract for their services and tells you there’s absolutely no refund, even if their services don’t work, is shady to me. They care about making money and that’s it. I’m glad I didn’t go with them, they also try to sign you up for a credit card. When I got home I did some more research and was appalled at some of the horrifying reviews I read — and it wasn’t just this location it was various places! You can find plenty of other places that offer REAL affordable prices and care about customer relationships.
