Harlem Skin & Laser Clinic

I’m so happy to have found this place in this neighborhood. It’s kinda perfect. I had a Brazilian with Tiara. She was sweet, pleasant, professional, and super fast! They offer just about everything there. All the waxing, Lashes, massages, facials, laser and probably a lot more too. The clinic is clean and the mood is set right. They use hard wax… my favorite. I’ll be back again and again.

Went in for my first brazilian wax ever after purchasing a groupon for 19 $.
The receptionist was warm; The ambiance pretty, inviting, and calm.
My appointment was for 630 but there was only one woman working that evening so I waited maybe 5 extra minutes, no biggie.
Tiara took care of me — she was warm & knowledgable! I would definitely recommend her.
They use a hard wax (I was expecting strips) which a friend of mine told me is more painful, but still it wasn’t as horrible as I was expecting it to be (however it obviously wasn’t a pleasant feeling). I have been tentative to wax in the past because I have pretty sensitive skin & have broken out from simply getting my eyebrows waxed; But I am experiencing no irritation at all — redness, soreness, nothing! Tiara was super sweet, and patient with me especially considering I was definitely squirming around a whole lot.
I would highly recommend both the Harlem Clinic & Tiara!

I just received a massage from Demetry (sp?). I practically melted into the massage bed. He massages you with his own blend of butters which leaves your skin smelling and feeling amazing. He also stretched certain areas that needed it. This man is the bomb. I am certainly returning. I may just purchase a 3 pack, he was THAT good. I had a pleasant experience.

I had such a wonderful experience today! I came for the Brazilian wax off groupon for $ 19. Talk about steal! Ann was very patient with me as it was my first time getting a Brazilian wax. She even gave me a stress ball lol. The facility was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place. The staff is extremely professional and accommodating to newbies like me!

I arrived early for my appointment and was seen right away. Ann did an excellent job with my eyebrow and lip wax. She used a different kind of wax than I’m used to, one for sensitive skin. And I can say it was the most painless wax I’ve ever had (been waxing for over 20 years). Everyone there was friendly and the place is spotless and has that pleasant spa smell. I’ll be returning.

I came here for my birthday as a gift. I had the post natal massage and I absolutely loved it. This is something that I really could do every week. The ambience was nice and the girl who did my massage was very comforting and kind. I will be back.

4.5 stars. A great Swedish massage. $ 45/​hour, thanks to Amazon Local. Can’t beat it. My therapist was Terry and she incorporated some very cool techniques, including a lot of stretching, which I love. I felt like I was getting even more for my money’s worth. Terry was also nice and took the time to point out what I needed to do more of to get rid of the lactic acid buildup in my body.
I believe that this massage would nornally cost $ 100, so it’s really a great deal. Of course, I tipped on $ 100, not $ 45.
The place is nice, relaxing and serene. I was surprised by how long the place was because it seems much smaller from the outside. The receptionists were friendly.
And now, I’m going to take a nap because I feel ultra relaxed from my massage!

Carly is a waxing genius! I am super sensitive and she just does the best job ever. I highly recommend this place, specifically Carly :)

Bought a Groupon for a Brazilian wax and had my first appointment yesterday. Boy, am I spoiled for life!
First thing — I felt little to NO pain. That’s right — NO pain. I don’t know if it was the wax they used, the ibuprofen I took thirty minutes before, or just the way Nicole worked but it was painless. I barely flinched, and I usually do.
Second thing — The place is super clean, immaculate even. I was in awe at the design and the room size. I’m used to being in a room that’s super tiny with barely any extra room to roam. The room I was in was very spacious.
Third thing — Nicole. Nicole Nicole Nicole. Choose her to do your wax. Honestly, she’s funny, professional, and easy to talk to. I know it may seem weird for some to talk to someone who’s all up in your stuff, but she makes it easy. She also gives great tips on upkeep.
I only have two issues with this place. The first is the regular price for a Brazilian. It’s a little on the expensive side, but after this amazing experience I may just splurge. The second is that when I arrived home there was still some wax in the uh… lower butt area. Wasn’t a lot thankfully.
I am definitely coming back!

I was going on vacation and I thought of getting my first Brazilian, saw this place on groupon after a lot of searching because a lot of the waxing places on groupon have such bad reviews but this place!
This place had awesome reviews and for the right reason. My appointment was with Carly at 2:40 I got there 15 mins early and she took me right away before my appointment. She was so sweet and made you feel really comfortable for how awkward this situation is you feel like you can show your goods here with ease. She knows what she’s doing such a professional. She’s very informative of what you should do after your wax and for future waxes. The area is very clean, no double dipping. I would recommend this to anyone because for my first time ever getting a wax it wasn’t painful at all! The top hairs hurt a bit but not anything you can’t bare. I was imagining the worse but no It was very good thanks to Carlyw!

Great services!

Spacious and stunningly huge interior.
Amazing staff
Speedy service
Love at first sight
Look for Carly! She’s awesome!

Found this place on Groupon and decided to give it a go. The location was closer to home than where I usually go. I made an appointment with Carly for a Brazilian after reading such great reviews about her. It was the fastest and least painful wax I have ever received ! They were in the middle of construction at the time, but the rooms were very clean. The front desk girl was very friendly as well.
I had a bad experience with hard wax in the past, but this place makes me easily forget. I was literally in and out in 10 minutes. I purchased an upgrade special after my appointment and have been seeing Carly ever since ! I recommend trying this place out.

The Acne Program Treatment at the Harlem Skin and Laser Center has changed my life. I have struggled with acne for over 20 years. In addition to the acne I also have extreme pigmentation issues. I have seen many dermatologists, who have always treated me with pills and harsh creams. None of these doctors understood my skin.
During my first consultation with Seven, she asked questions about my family background/​history along with questions about my lifestyle. She listened to my answers and asked relevant follow up questions. After 45 mins of conversation we worked together to create a comprehensive skin plan.
I have been seeing Seven every 3 to 4 weeks for the past 8 months. During this time my skin has transformed. I rarely have a break out and if I do get a pimple it goes away within 1 – 2 days. My skin is so soft, my pores have decreased in size and my pigmentation is more even. I never thought my skin could look so good. I’m literally amazed at how my skin looks every time I look in the mirror.

The update has been a LONG time coming…
This is now my GO TO place (thanks Carly)! And everyone… they have moved to a new locations :)
I had my appointment scheduled I believe a week after they moved into the place, and let me tell you… spacious. I mean, nice reception area and many promising things to come. I am so excited for the happening — and for the Grand Opening happening this week. Everyone is so sweet, from the time you walk in, until you leave! This is a must come to place.

I’ve been going here for years and it has always been consistently fabulous! But now they have a new addition to the team… Dexton! I just got one of the best messages ever… and anyone who knows me knows I’m not easy pleased when it comes to spa services.
I get messages often. I’ve gotten messages from places like Red Door and the Koreans, but Dexton has to be one of the best. Dexton knew to focus on my pains caused by stress and the pains caused by working out, which are often very different. He perfectly found each pressure point that needed messaging in order to release my tension. And boy do I feel better!
Whether you live in Harlem or not, Dexton is worth the trip!

Where do I begin? I started going to Harlem Skin Clinic almost three years ago, at the beginning of my graduate school experience. I found a Groupon and had such a great experience that I’ve been going back ever since.
DISCLAIMER: Getting a Brazilian ALWAYS HURTS. The amount of pain varies from person to person, but there is nothing relaxing and pleasant about having hair removed down there. Brace yourself.
With that in mind, I usually see Carly; however, even when she hasn’t been available I have had a good experience. It hurts more if you wait longer than a month and a half to two months so try to be consistent. And if it’s your first time, try going back again. It really won’t be so bad the second time around.
About two months ago, Seven (the founder and owner of Harlem Skin Clinic) hired some new technicians and there was a night where I waited over two hours to be seen. Yes, it was inconvenient and messed up my plans for the night, but it was also the first time that had ever happened to me in the past three years. And the technician was very pleasant, she was just overwhelmed with the amount of people she had to see back to back to back. I can understand that, it was her first day!
All in all, I give Harlem Skin Clinic five stars. They are about to move into a new location across the street and they are expanding their services. I love the service and the mission statement: empowering women and those that they love. They will continue to have my support as they grow and expand.

I went in July and Jill did my Brazilian wax. I remembered to write this review because I am considering a second wax and found the groupon deal again.
But anyway, I got to my appointment on time and l like I said I had Jill and it was my first time. She seemed knowledgeable but I wasn’t feeling her vibe. At first I thought maybe that’s just how it is everywhere since this place has great reviews.
So after checking down there she concluded that my hair was too short, so I would have to get soft wax. Since I had no choice (cause I was going on vacation) I went for it.
WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE. Did you hear me? I get my brows and mustache threaded and they hurt and I thought I had pretty high tolerance for pain but I guess not. After every strip I was groaning and trying to get a minute to recover but she was just cold.
It seemed like she was frustrated and it really annoyed me because it was my first time and it is obviously a painful process.
She kept reminding me that my appointment was only 20 mins? And that she goes a lot faster than this. She said this on two different occasions and then asked me if I want to stop.
OF COURSE I WANT TO GO ON VACATION WITH A HALF WAXED VAGINA.
I really kept my cool because I thought I was just being a baby about the pain but you could tell that she was just rude as hell.
When she was done she tried to crack a few jokes and small talk but I was over it at that point.
4 stars cause I liked the result. 1 star cause of Jill and how insensitive she was = 3 stars overall.
I would consider going again but with someone else

I was very pleased! I had walked by this place many times and also noticed groupons for it-​but didn’t want to take the chance of hating it. I had been getting waxes downtown because I liked the place but really didn’t want to travel so far anymore. So I decided to read some reviews here on Unilocal and was impressed by their website. So I decided to try the $ 19 groupon for a Brazilian wax.
I always get incredibly nervous for waxes because the first time I had it done was a nightmare. So to prepare myself for this new place I took an Advil (definitely recommend doing that) and headed over. The space is shared with a yoga studio and the front area is pretty small but very comfortable considering two businesses are being run there. The atmosphere is nice and the staff was very friendly! They start you off with a consultation card (kind of like a mini medical history form focused on the skin) to fill out –this was never discussed but it felt good to know they take all those things into consideration (definitely made it feel more legit). I had an appt at 2 and the 1:45 walked in after I did so I expected to wait awhile. Much to my surprise I didn’t have to wait long and was seen shortly after 2.
I was seen by Carly and would definitely recommend her. She did a very good job, it was minimally painful (least painful Brazilian I’ve had so far) and she was very nice. The stress ball I was given was much appreciated as was the music-​definitely helped me relax. She was also great at distracting me with conversation and with making sure I knew what was going on. The actual room was comfortable, private and looked clean.
When they offered me a 2 for $ 50 deal I purchased it on the spot. I see from Unilocal now that there is also a 3 for $ 120 deal (just fyi). I’m very happy I decided to try this place out and will be happy to go back.

Love, love, love this place. Yesterday was my first time at Harlem Skin Clinic and I couldn’t be more pleased. The atmosphere and the staff were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. The best part about my visit was the fact that no one got upset that I had my almost two year old daughter with me (babysitting issues).
I purchased two Groupons for Harlem Skin Clinic and decided to give them a try yesterday. I had an appointment for an Eyebrow Wax with Carly, Carly was very quick and professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I’ve lived in Harlem on and off for 30+ years and the only problem that I have with this place is that I didn’t find out about this place sooner.
