So I signed up for the program $250 a month for four months. Things got crazy at home and after the first month I realized I just don't have time to go. So I call to cancel, well she says I called too early have to call closer to the time I will be charged again. I ask her when the best time is to call, well she gives me a date so I clarify with her this date no she says it should be this date. Needless to say I call and again get the same spiel. Very expensive lesson. They want you to sign up. Nothing less will do.

I was a member at the Tribeca location and completed the full four-month commitment they require. I then discontinued my services after my experience there. The front desk staff were arrogant, curt, and inflexible, with poor communication and a pushy sales approach. One provider’s treatment of me was so unprofessional that it was the deciding factor in my leaving. I reached out to the company to ask whether this behavior reflects their standards. I never received an apology or any real acknowledgment. They seem comfortable treating customers badly, so keep that in mind before you book. The treatments are also far from the “miraculous” results they advertise. Even after four months, progress was very slow and almost undetectable. New York City has plenty of skin and dermatology providers, and this one was a waste of time, energy, and money. I would look elsewhere.

Skin Laundry IFC (Hong Kong) turned what should have been a straightforward first-time facial appointment into an insulting, high-pressure retail ambush. I booked the FIRST Signature Laser Facial at the IFC branch and arrived expecting a proper consultation followed by the treatment I had reserved. I had not paid in advance, but that does not excuse the way I was treated. Therapist Yan barely examined my skin at all. There was no private treatment-room consultation, no professional assessment, and no effort to understand my skin concerns. Instead, she made me look into a hand-held mirror in the reception area, then glanced at my face, pronounced my skin “very dry,” and immediately said I was unsuitable for the laser facial. That was apparently the full “assessment.” It felt as though the decision had already been made before any meaningful assessment took place. Rather than explaining the reasoning clearly or discussing appropriate options, Yan took me directly to the product shelf and launched into a sales pitch for cleanser, toner, wrinkle serum, and other Skin Laundry products. The message was clear: buy our products, "fix" your skin, then come back for the treatment you already booked. If the Signature Laser Facial was genuinely unsuitable for my skin that day, a competent therapist should have explained why and offered a practical alternative, such as the Hydro Cool Facial treatment. No alternative treatment was suggested. No attempt was made to salvage the appointment. The only “solution” presented was to spend money on products first and return later, presumably prepared to spend more. The whole encounter felt like a bait-and-switch: lure first-time clients with a promotional treatment, reject them after a superficial glance, then pressure them into buying products. The interaction felt patronising, dismissive and judgmental. I cannot know what assumptions Yan was making, but I left wondering whether I had been written off because of my age, skin colour or perceived spending power. The staff came across as very young and inexperienced, and nothing about the encounter inspired confidence in their training, clinical judgment or customer-service standards. A credible skincare provider should offer a proper assessment, transparent reasoning, respectful communication and an appropriate treatment plan, not a snap judgment in a public reception area followed by aggressive product-pushing. Skin Laundry IFC may use clinic-style language and branding, but my experience felt more like a hard-selling beauty counter than a professional skincare service. I would urge anyone considering a promotional first treatment to be cautious: you may be turned away for treatment and pressured instead to buy products before being considered “ready” for the service you booked. The staff appeared inexperienced, the consultation was superficial, and the customer care was non-existent. My advice: be extremely cautious of the introductory offers. You may arrive expecting the advertised facial and leave having received nothing except an unsolicited verdict on your appearance and a sales lecture about products you are supposedly required to buy before they will even consider treatment. And if you do not fit their preferred profile, do not be surprised if you are dismissed outright because this place absolutely feels like a scam, and it absolutely feels like they discriminate against the clients they choose to treat.

This was my first time ever going to a professional skin clinic because I wanted to start taking better care of my skin in Park Meadows - Colorado. From the beginning, I told the staff that I was trusting them with my skin, and based on that trust, I enrolled in a membership with monthly payments. Unfortunately, my experience became increasingly frustrating. At almost every visit, I met a different staff member, and each person seemed to have a different opinion, treatment recommendation, or plan for my skin. The recommendations kept changing, and after a while I no longer knew whose advice I should trust or what treatment plan I was actually following. Another concern was the tipping expectation. Since the membership included multiple visits each month, being prompted to tip based on the total amount at every visit added a significant additional cost, especially when attending around three times per month. I was also surprised that each appointment was scheduled for 15 minutes, but in most cases I spent no more than about five minutes in the treatment room. During my fourth month, I had an unexpected situation and was approximately six minutes late. I called ahead and informed them that I was on my way and would be slightly late, but my appointment was canceled. Since I was already nearby, I still went to the location hoping to speak with someone and reschedule. Unfortunately, the front desk staff member was very disrespectful and rude and simply told me they had a three-minute late policy. I understand that businesses have policies, but the way the situation was handled was unacceptable and ultimately caused me to cancel my membership. When I canceled, I also requested copies of all of my paperwork, records of the treatments I had received during the previous four months, and my before-and-after photos. I still have not received any of these materials. What has made the situation even more frustrating is that I have had difficulty finding clear contact information for corporate management or a customer service department where I can formally share my experience and follow up on my records. I started this membership genuinely wanting to trust the professionals caring for my skin, but the inconsistent treatment recommendations, rushed appointments, front desk experience, and lack of follow-up ultimately caused me to lose that trust.

Skin Laundry offers a $50 introductory laser treatment, which sounds like an appealing way to test the waters. Unfortunately, my experience left me questioning what, exactly, I was being asked to invest in. The company is clearly steeped in technology. In fact, there seems to be so much emphasis on technology that it comes at the expense of something rather important in skin care: personal care. From the automated phone system to the highly standardized aftercare instructions, the experience feels more like interacting with a sophisticated algorithm than receiving individualized attention. To be fair, Skin Laundry is very upfront about one thing: "one treatment isn't enough to achieve the full effect." They make it clear that a series of treatments is required. Fair enough. I appreciate knowing that before spending more money. What they are not clear about is how long those results can reasonably be expected to last once the recommended course of treatments has been completed. I asked a very straightforward question: not for a guarantee, not for an exact number of months, and not for a promise that my skin would behave like everyone else's. I asked for a "broad range." I fully understand that longevity varies depending on age, lifestyle, sun exposure, skin care, nutrition, genetics, and any number of other factors. They were unwilling to provide even that. That goes beyond ordinary caution or CYA. It felt like a deliberate refusal to disclose information that a prospective customer reasonably needs in order to evaluate the value of the treatment. If a treatment produces meaningful, lasting results, wouldn't a legitimate business want to talk about those results? Wouldn't longevity be something worth highlighting rather than avoiding? The issue isn't that Skin Laundry can't guarantee how long my results will last. No reputable provider can. The issue is that they couldn't—or wouldn't—give me even a general sense of what customers might expect. For me, that's a red flag. I'm willing to pay for effective skin care. I'm considerably less willing to pay for a treatment when the business is forthcoming about how much I'll need to buy, but evasive about how long the benefit is likely to last. Based on my experience, I can't recommend Skin Laundry. Unless, perhaps, you're interested in being taken to the cleaners.

BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE SIGNING A SKIN LAUNDRY CONTRACT(Ardmore location) I wish I had read the reviews and every single line of the contract before signing up with Skin Laundry. They do a great job selling the membership and making everything sound simple and appealing. However, my experience after signing was completely different. What I understood I was being sold did not match what I later discovered in the contract. The most disappointing part has been the customer service. They seem very attentive when they want you to sign up, but when you have a concern or want to get out of the membership, that same level of helpfulness suddenly disappears. Instead of trying to understand and resolve the issue, everything comes back to, “You signed the contract.” Yes, customers should read what they sign—and that is exactly why I am writing this review. READ THE CONTRACT YOURSELF. DO NOT RELY ONLY ON WHAT YOU ARE TOLD WHEN THEY ARE SELLING YOU THE MEMBERSHIP. Pay particular attention to cancellation terms, recurring charges, membership commitments, and any restrictions. Ask questions and get the answers in writing before handing over your credit card. A company should stand behind not only its contract, but also the way its services are represented when convincing customers to sign up. I learned my lesson. Hopefully this review helps someone else avoid the same frustration.

I wish I went to this website before I went. I should’ve seen the 1.8 review lol. The first time I went I had a positive experience. I got the $50 laser facial so I went a second time I didn’t do the whole membership it just is a lot of money and I take care of my skin really well so I got a rejuvenator peel that they offered me for like $100 and I do at home peels all the time and I never have a reaction. I mean the ones I do at home I guess are gentle but my skin could take a lot so I thought OK and now I have all this discoloration on my chin and I have to wear all this makeup when I usually didn’t have to wear makeup at all and I went in there today and they acted like I was like a Karen or something and it was very upsetting and then they made a comment that I don’t have a membership (what doesn’t matter you messed up my skin?) and that I should come in for more treatments like they were even gonna get another dime of my money after this reaction are they serious? I’m literally going on every website that I can find and posting as many bad reviews as I can because this place sucks, they do the whole $50 thing to real people in and I was dumb enough to fall for it.

I’m extremely disappointed with our experience at Skin Laundry. I brought my 15-year-old daughter in because she had mild acne, and we were encouraged to sign up for their promotional membership of around $250 per month, which included three acne/skin peel treatment sessions. Unfortunately, after only her second visit, her acne became significantly worse and flared up so severely that we had to take her to a dermatologist for treatment. Her skin was nowhere near this bad before we started going to Skin Laundry. As a parent, I’m extremely concerned and upset. I don’t know exactly what was done or what products or treatments were used on my daughter’s face, but the dramatic change after these treatments has left me questioning whether they caused or contributed to the severe flare-up. What concerns me most is the emotional impact this has had on my 15-year-old daughter. Her confidence and self-esteem have been deeply affected by what happened to her skin. We went to Skin Laundry hoping to improve a mild acne problem, not to end up needing medical treatment from a dermatologist afterward. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage parents especially those considering these types of treatments for teenagers, to be very cautious, ask exactly what will be used on their child’s skin, and consult a dermatologist first.
