Profile

The menu of services here lists twenty body areas that Randee Elaine will wax (other areas are negotiable), with prices ranging from $7 for chin or eyebrow to $35 for full leg with bikini. No body-hair issue is too embarrassing to be discussed and dealt with, which makes this place exceedingly popular with men. The salon also offers laser hair removal for as little as $50 a session.

I had to recomend this place a 10 overall. This is a salon, not a spa. But, they have amazing technicians. I used CJ and I used Chanel. They are nice there and they made me feel really comfortable doing such an uncomfortable procedure..Full legs with BRAZILIAN They have been in buisness since 1989, which is why I went there . That is a long time t be in buisness, so I fugured they must be doing something right. And to top it off, when i bought a laser Package I had a free massage with Linda. She was great. Don't be folled when you walk in. It looks small, but they have an enormus space on the 2nd floor.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL AT RANDEE ELAINE IS A SCAM

Avoid getting laser treatments (or any other services, for that matter) at Randee Elaine. I was told before starting that 6 treatments should give about 90% reduction in hair growth. This seems plausible since I have light skin and dark hair. After more than a dozen sessions (maybe 14-16), there was at best a 50% reduction. Needless to say, I was angry and disappointed, especially considering that the treatments are $200 to $250 per session. I got a couple of additional treatments elsewhere before giving up altogether. There's now a lot of regrowth, and for all intents and purposes I spent $3000-$4000 to get shaved a few times. I have it on authority from somebody on the inside that Randee Elaine uses laser systems that aren't intended for hair removal. If true, this would explain the poor results. It is also something the department of consumer affairs should consider. I think Randee Elaine knowingly oversells this procedure at the customer's expense, and I now believe this part of the business is a complete scam. As a final note, be aware and fully informed before getting this procedure elsewhere.
