Progress slow

by tewkewl6

I purchased a package to remove my underarm hair. The sales pitch sold me on hair free underarms in 8 treatments. The agreement held a 2 year satisfaction guarantee. At the end of the agreed sessions, I still did not have hair free underarms. I continue to go in for further treatments per the guarantee. I am in my third year and so far have had a total of 26 treatments. While I am seeing progress and am now about 80% hair free, I have still not achieved the desired results. I am trapped into continuing with them until I am hair free. If I had known I'd still be working on this three years later, I'd have never signed up for it. Please shop around and find a more effective practioner. I wish I had.

• Pros: Most of the technicians have been helpful and pleasant
• Cons: Treatments not effective, It takes too long to achieve results

STAY AWAY

by e874714

I went to ALC after being called by their customer service saying I won a $300 coupon for services and if I scheduled an appointment for a free consultation within the dates the rep gave me my coupon would be turned into a $400 coupon. I was interested in laser hair removal so I scheduled the consultation appointment. Once given the price I was shocked, the manager realized this and added more and more discounts and free services pressuring me until I finally gave in. After leaving ALC i realized I had made a mistake and called to refund what I had just purchased. I was told the manager had just left and she was the only one that could do refunds so the receptionist took a message. I never received a call back and had to call her back. When I called she answered the phone and said she was really busy and would call back in five minutes. She never did, so I called her again. This time she again pressured me to reconsider and offered more free services. The manager at this time made me aware of a 10% cancellation fee. I called the next day demanding my refund and she finally took my credit card information but as of yet I am still waiting to receive the refund. STAY AWAY!!

Does not work

by Proudmamaof2

I purchased a package to have hair removal for my underarms. I have gone for 14 treatments and have not seen any changes since I started. They tell me the number of times varies for each person and that it will work. I would think I would see some progress after 14 times and nothing. Do not waste your money on their services.

• Cons: Ineffective, unfriendly management
