THe only reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because I need to see how this place operates over time. I saw their ad in the reader for Laser hair removal on SALE due the the lagging economy and, on a whim, gave a call. Ended up going in there and buying 10 sessions of hair removal for a little under $800.00, which should have my hair area completely gone, a great bargain if you consider the cost and pain of waxing regularly :P Most people need 5-6 but I have thick hair! You have to go back every 4-6 weeks for another treatment so this should be a yearlong process. I was told by some that it would be painful but it was nothing compared to a wax!! One treatment took less than 15 pain-free minutes. They offer a lot of other services here, another thing I discovered prompted by that Reader ad was Microdermabrasion and the subsequent pore-cleansing process. OMG! I am never getting a regular facial again, since all I really wanted from facials were the extractions which they usually would do MINIMALLY at other institutions. I am going to keep coming back to the Institute because for under $100.00 I can get the Microderm (which does not hurt at all...feels like a cat tongue licking your face all over)...and then she is able to take all of the gunk out of the pores, and it's AMAZING!!! Gets your pores so much cleaner than any facial ever will. My face and future hairlessness thank the Reader for my discovery of this Solana Beach Gem!!
