Katie did an amazing job on my laser hair removal!! She is so kind, makes you feel comfortable and gets every spot. She understands the pain and squirming and makes sure you are as comfortable as possible. She is the best person ive dealt with so far (Although they are all wonderful). She doesnt disappoint!!

Please read before you come here or sign any contract with IDEAL image.I am really disappointed and I feel that I have been cheated.I came all the way from NYC to Albany to do retouch because I did not finish all the sessions covered by my package with IDEAL imageI still have one or two more sessions remaining and I was not able to get them because I had major surgery.After I finished my last session, the employee asked me, when do you like to schedule your next visit.I told them not to schedule me because I will have surgery and I will not be able to schedule any visits for one year. The employee never mentioned anything about my contract and that I will lose my last one or two sessions if my contract got expired.After one year I called and scheduled an appointment and two minutes before my session begins they came and told me that I have to pay extra money because my contract with them is expired and I have to pay a deductible or I can not have the session. The deductible was not a small number.I paid a lot of money and they collected money for sessions that I never received and now they ask for more. Be careful before you come here

Francesca provided a friendly experience with amazing results. I would highly recommend booking with her for your aesthetic needs. She was honest and trustworthy with her assessment which is highly appreciated - Skill set was professional and on point!

Francesca was wonderful—I am very impressed with the professionalism of this first experience at Ideal Image. The women at the front desk were also very friendly, helpful to me and understanding from the crazy day I was having. As being a local salon owner, it is always important to me to acknowledge when you enter a business with wonderful front desk customer service as they are the “face to the place”. I have received 8 laser treatments previously at a different location (not Ideal Image) before starting completely over and & I can definitely say it is a complete different experience. I am very pleased to have had Francesca. She is a sweetheart, very knowledgeable and her professionalism was exceptional. Looking forward to my next treatment and additional services that I cannot wait to try! Thank you Ideal Image[Albany]!

It is quick in and out each visit. All the staff are very pleasant to deal with. It would be nice if I could stay with the same nurse that I started with, I get a new one each visit. But they all have been great! Very clean establishment! I have already recommended to friends and family.

This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My quality of life has increased immensely by not having to shave all the time. You see results after the first session. This summer has been so nice not having to stress about making sure my armpits, bikini area, and legs are shaved. It is so nice to have the extra time and the piece of mind that I’m not hairy. Francesca is one of my favorite nurses. She was super knowledgeable and explained the process to me to ensure I most out of my laser package. She made sure to go thoroughly over each section and that no spots are missed. Even thought they are using the laser in personal areas I felt completely comfortable the entire time.I highly recommend and wish I decided to do this sooner.

Todays session was exceptionally painful. The first cool sculpting session was painful but after 10 minutes I was numb and could relax. This time the pain lasted through the entire treatment on my left side. I almost hit the button to have the machine turned off, but its so expensive I didnt want to throw all that money away. I have a very high pain tolerance so this really, really hurt.

The customer service starts at the front desk with the most pleasant staff members who are willing to accommodate whatever your requests are to the best of their ability.The care given to you by the nurses and specialists (Katie and Leigh Ann are the best!!) is just amazing and you leave feeling like the best possible version of yourself. Already looking forward to my next visit.

I absolutely LOVE this location so much!!! And Francesca was amazing to work with! I did Cool Sculpting and was able to lose 20 pounds so far!!! I am going back to get more done around my muffin top! I have multiple sclerosis and my fatigue makes it hard for me to work out, but I am trying my best to eat better. Eat less-move more is my motto, but I am VERY grateful that Cool sculpting can give me a boost in my weight loss journey.

Review №14

Although it was not the nurses fault I was very displeased with this entity. I canceled two other appointments to make sure that I made it to my appointment tonight and upon my arrival I was told they weren’t able to treat me as I did not follow guidelines for pre-treatment. I was never told there was restrictions prior to coming there today. This is definitely something that should be explained prior to coming to our first appointment.

Stellar experience! I have been here twice now and the team has taken great care in making me feel welcome, answering my questions, and providing through laser treatments. Marissa has been so kind when checking in and out, and my nurse, Leigh Anne, goes out of her way to explain the process and ensure my comfort. I am very happy I chose this location for my laser hair removal needs!

I had Amber as my nurse today for my laser hair removal treatment and she was amazing!! So kind and thoughtful, she talked me through it, made sure I was ready, gave me an ice pack in between and made me feel so comfortable. I’ve had a lot of great nurses here but Amber really stood out. The space is always clean and the staff is very kind, I highly recommend ideal image!

Francesca was very friendly and knowledgeable. She helped me review my previous results and then chose the next best step moving forward based on my own personal goals. She didnt try to upsell me anything but instead just focused on what would and wouldnt work for me. The facility is clean and has a comforting feel. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their current physical condition.

I had a wonderful experience with Amber this week! She was so great to talk to during my treatment, it really helped to distract from the discomfort of my laser hair removal treatment.

Review №41

I had signed up fo cool sculpting during the COVID deal, where I was supposed to receive a 36 month interest free loan. I selected and signed for the 36 month interest free loan that my consultant had told me to. However that is not what I received. I have now been charged a ton of interest to my account. I honestly only tried cool sculpting because of the deal and would not have tried it otherwise. I had very minimal results with 8 sessions and am losing more with my exercise routine that I had started many months after my last treatment. If I had received the deal, I probably would be okay with not losing much, but I have tried contacting ideal image through the location and their consultant at least 6 times to have this fixed. They keep saying I have to contact my loan borrow even when I tell them how my loan borrow tells me to contact them. I have left emails and messages and still have not received a call back. I am very dissatisfied with my experience because I am having to pay more than I was quoted and I did not lose inches or the 20-30 pounds that my consultant had told me I would lose. I had only lost about 3-4 pounds and .5 inch from my 8 sessions of cool sculpting.

I give Katie a 10 plus! She is sweet, professional and very knowledgeable.My only issue is with the corporation, the corporation that thinks one sale is good for all. Well it’s not. the price of 15.00, Per unit for Botox is terrible. Yes Katie explained the amazing 8.90 per unit. But it doesn’t work for all. At least 10.00 per unit for people who can’t do the 250.00 down and then the cost of the 8.90 per unit. Even though I really like Katie I will seek Botox elsewhere, unless the corporation people can make it affordable for all.SincerelyCherie C

Just got my first ever lip injections today at Ideal Image with Terina. They took care of me A-Z. They made me feel comfortable and right at home, and they were happy to answer any questions I had. The staff is so friendly! The numbing cream that they used was amazing, I did not feel a thing! Totally painless. Terina listened to exactly what I wanted to see, and produced amazing results, just what I asked for. She was a doll to work with and I can’t wait to go back!

Leigh Anne Plemenik at the Albany location is the reason I love Ideal Image. She truly listens to what I am looking to accomplish and recommends exactly what I need. Not more... just what I need to get the right results. She makes excellent recommendations. As a sidenote she is very patient and has actually tremendously helped me get over my fear of needles. The staff is also very professional and helpful. Always a positive experience!

Review №59

Shauna the nurse technician was incredible! I had many areas done (chest, upper & lower leg, underarms, bikini and chin/neck) and the appointment lasted for 2 hours. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed even though at times the treatment itself can be uncomfortable. The room was very clean given new health codes with COVID.Although I do agree that the pricing can be high. When i first came to IDEAL i felt like I was wasting my money by just getting chin and neck. However, this time around I was able to take advantage of the 5 areas promo AND was able to get a current customer discount. They also had quite a few other promos going on for Full leg, and the 70% off promotion. If you can take advantage of the promos like I was able to, then I really believe the treatments are worth it.I have dark/course hair, and honestly, this is just something that makes me feel more comfortable and provides a convenience. Overall I would recommend. I think the benefit comes from being able to have larger areas completed.

Review №65

Two stars are for the first person who scheduled me for my consult, she was lovely! i am very interested in laser hair/fillers but this company will take advantage of you. the consult itself was almost embarrassing. the representative was uneducated in her field and was honestly a little rude. their scripting pushes sixteen sessions for laser which is almost twice as much than anyone would need. when asked to quote without the package, i was met with confusion and dismissive words. the entire time i was extremely friendly and that seemed to just annoy her, the consultation lasted about thirty minutes and was just a very belittling experience. none of the discounts previously discussed were applicable. i am prepared to invest thousands of dollars in myself but not with company.

This review pertains to their HQ, not the Albany location.The sales representatives of this organization are misleading and dishonest. I was assured I was be able to get an appointment prior to my moving date and that was not the case. I now live hours away making it nearly impossible to get to my appointment. Calling customer service doesnt help because they refuse to help with a refund based on contract contraints even if their sales representatives breach the contract. What they are doing is a scam.

I am obsessed with how amazing Katie’s work is!So I am pretty new to the whole filler thing. I got my lips done less than a year ago by a plastic surgeon that really did a bad job.I started to notice that my top lip was uneven and I needed to get more filler so I made an appointment at Ideal Image with Katie, And OMG!! She was super sweet and professional. She really took her time and is a true perfectionist.It is really hard to find someone that does a good job at filler especially in this area. I took a chance and just made the appointment and I’m really happy that I did. I wanted a nice full lip and she even made my border and shape perfect! Absolutely no complaints and I highly recommend her! Amazing!!!!!!

I just moved back to the Albany area and found Ideal Image. I was excited to find a friendly staff and an affordable financing plan. I was approved for $7,000.00 and had 2 separate procedures done. I had Ultherapy on my face and neck and cool sculpting. When I went to make a payment I was told that I had 2 separate accounts and I had to pay $149.00 a month on each one. I was shocked and was never told that each procedure was a separate loan. I was going to have another procedure done but based on the fact that it was going to be another separate charge. I felt as though the financing was misleading and I was never informed that the was the case. BEWARE of this misrepresentation if you are getting financing through this organization HCS. When you get approved for a loan it should be 1 payment!!!!!!!! RIGHT? I would love to hear back from one owners please.I have to say that I am pleased with the cool sculpting results but not pleased with the financing AT ALL!!!!

Coolsculpting did not work at all. Not even a little. At my follow up appointment in Albany (Colonie), NY, the staff could not find my before pictures to compare with the after photo. They said they’d get back to me and have not returned my calls in weeks. My results were consistent with ratings online. I will call corporate and join the other reports to BBB if I do not hear some resolution given they lost my photos.11/23/20: I have received no correspondence despite my attempt to call twice more since this review was published and the company replied they would reach out to me. Have not yet heard back from anyone. Awaiting a return phone call from the manager Nicole. 12/7- Trued calling again, still no return phone call.
