Do Not Pay anything in advance! February 18, 2010
froud
I was a customer with american laser center for 2 years I purcheased a package with them for 2, 500 for 3 years of service. A coupel of week ago someone called me to cancel my oppointment because they had closed their business. American Laser Center still owes me one year of service. I tried to call them many times but all I get is answereing machine. Not happy with them and will never use their serevices!!!

Procedures do not work
I signed and paid for laser hair removal from my face with little or no results after 3 years. I just received a phone call from the local office stating my guarantee with the company is up, and if I want them to honor my next appointment we need discuss additional payments. This service does not work, and I wish it was something that I did not do. It is painful, time consuming, and worst of all ineffective.

I am waiting to hear back on complaints with the company, which from what I have read will go unanswered or be denied out right, as they already have my money, and a complaint with the BBB. At this stage, any money would be great to get back, and going for additional treatments is not something that makes sense after over 3 years already.

I would not recommend laser hair removal from American Laser Center to anyone, as their technician are untrained, they use different machines every time you see them, and the settings are never consistent. I hope at least 1 person reads this and decides to go elsewhere for their treatment, or tells someone about this, as the word needs to get out on this company.

unethical practice
I would like to first say I believe Vela-Shape does work under the proper conditions, that being said I wish I had checked sights like this first before I went to AML to have it done. If you get the proper technician who spends the appropriate amount of time on you results will be seen, but some of my appts. where an hour some thirty minutes and I had a total of 16 treatments. In that time frame some of my appointments would also run 30 to 45 minutes late (after ofcourse my first visit when I paid them $3000 dollars) on the days they ran late I found out they were squeezing in NEW Trial patients and purposfully backing up my time. My sister who is a nurse and a believer in the technology had signed up at the same time and found out they were short of nurses and began working there. What an eye opener that was. She did her online traing but was put on the lasers with clients without her full time with another nurse as her shadow because they said they were overbooked. My sister was chastised by the office manager for taking to long with patients and so when one of the company trainers came in she asked how long a certain procedure would take for several different areas of hair lasering and she was told 2 to 2 1/2 hours--but she was being scheduled with clients after 45 minutes. So they get you in there and the lay person has no idea how long treatment should take and they're just throwing in more and more clients. It's an incredible shame because after checking I know I could have gotten this smae service for less, but had I been treated ethically and given my complete time every time I still might have gone back. I would also like to mention I asked for my before and after pictures and still havent recieved them.

equipment bad and burned
High Pressure and after several phone calls and wheels and deals... I finally gave in for hair removal and skin Tightening... OMG, I wished I had never done it. Never have had such high pressure, I feel like they are hounding me every time I go in there and I have not had any reduction and the equipment they use is NOT safe and it is old. Please do not go to American Laser Center. They have 2 offices. One in St. Charles and the worst one in Chesterfield. Ran by the mafia I do believe in MIchigan... it is a scam company.
I am so sorry I spent over $1500... and am out of all it and NO hair reduction and burnt!

NO SHOW FEE?
They charged me $35 no show fee, said it's from corporate, have you heard anyone charge their clients $35 no show fee? Since I have already paid all the service package, they don't care any more.

Bad service, don't ever use them.

false advertising
American Laser Centers put out a coupon advertising a free trial treatment. They said there'd be a 15-20 minute initial consultation and then the treatment, the entire session lasting no more than 30-35 minutes. It took almost an entire hour because I had to wait for 20 minutes before I was even seen. They did a hard sell for a $1400 set of 4 treatments and then I never even received a treatment!! They did 2 test zaps to my neck. That was it! I had requested a photofacial when I made my appointment and I never even received that! They are a bunch of lying jerks that run this center. Save your money.

Rip Off
I just wanted to warn others out there about how bad ALC actually is. First, most people go into ALc because they won a drawing for $300. Well, everyone wins if they put their name in the drawing. It's just a strategy to get new consumers in the door. Second I used to be a tech at ALC and could no longer take it because of how many disatisfied clients I dealt with. ALC doesn not train their employees well at all. The lasers are very poor compared to ohers lasers I have worked with at different companies. Also, the celulite tx's don't work at all!! I did sooo many tx's and not ONE person was happy with their results! I just felt bad for all the clients who paid so much money and were complaiing that they still high high percentage of hair left after two years. Basically, they will do anything to get you to sign a contract, because once you sign, they will not refund! When you are a tech at ALC your main job is sales! They don't care how your treat your client or how well you are charting and making sure you are giving a good tx. If you don't upsale you will get fired! So, I left because I went to school to do treatments not SALE.. So, I promise if you want laser hair removal GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

BEWEAR
After a year & a half of treatments without seeing results, I was burnt in 3 spots. They never even called to check on me. Then my next treatment we did a "re-evaluation of my skin" & I was assured it would not happen again. The evaluation took so long that I was not able to finish my whole treatment and was kicked out so they could do the next person. The manager Donna Sarovich wouldn't even come out of the office to help me figure out what to do.

After I called, sent emails, & spoke with costumer service I received an email back from Donna stating that she was offended by my accusations of her "pushing services on clients & negligence".

They can't keep employees, I never had the same girl twice over a 1 1/2yr time & now there are different managers!
The treatments hurt like hell!
I've been burned!
I'm not seeing results!
All they care about is you buying new packages!

STAY AWAY!

BAD manager!!!
i just wanna say that the manager they have right now is veryyyyyyyyyyy unprofessional!!! The manager they have before Gabi, who passed away was really nice. She seem to like what she was doing n would try to work with her clients to make them happy. but this new manager Nicole is horribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. she is soooo rudeeee and is just tryin to pass her time at work. she talks very rudly and does notttt care at all about how she is front of customers. i find her veryy rude and unprofessional. If u ever call to check on an apt. or to change it she'll just pretend that is looking and just say "o i'm sorry, theres nothin avaiable". just because she doesnt want to even look through the dates because she is LAZY!!! i just wish they can hire someone else fast. :(

Total Crap/Rip Off
Totally a Scam Job. Conned me into services that cost 5200 between me and my daughter. When I started to ask questions about if I have a problem after a laser treatment would there be some one there to answer the phone and help she said yes but brushed me off with "Oh you better go now, i know your concerned about the meter running. She was getting so nervous cause something told me it was a bunch of BS and I was saying things like Im going to go home and look this place up will I find complaints she said no and tryed pushing us on our way. Believe me she was out to get my money big time... I went home and googled and sure enough I found nothing but complaints. I immediately called and told them dont put the application in for the med financial . It was the following morning and I was told it was done already. I called the Med Choice Co and they said it would be funded today I said Dont Bother cause I cancelled the services. Guess what she said I must call American Laser to see if they will issue me a credit. Anyway I'm now being told it has to go to te accounting Dept and it will take 12 weeks to process cause tere are so many people before me. These two companys work together clearly. They werent the least bit concerned when I told them that American Laser would be taking 12 weeks to process my request. I was billed 5200.00 for services i never got. Basically they lent American Laser 5200.00 that was borrowed under my name . They tied up my credit for thousands of dollars that I never got nor used. I wrote to medi choice and they said they would investigate. Anyway I got credit for 4100 tey kept 300 for each of us for an administration fee. DONT BE FOOLED ITS A MONEY MAKING SCAM THAT DOES NOT DELIVER.
