Ideal Image Sunset Hills

Worst thing I’ve ever spent a ton of money on. I had my chin and neck done with laser hair removal and it hasn’t even been a year and let’s just say I have to shave almost every day. I think it’s worse now than it was when I first started the treatment. I would never recommend anyone to get this done!

They are professional and they get the job done. I had laser hair removal. It was expensive but worth it. They are the only ones in St Louis licensed to do the treatments adequately and thoroughly.
I don’t know about their other services, nor am I interested.

I started going to ideal image for laser hair removal about a year ago to have two areas done. After my third treatment I was very satisfied with what they had done so I decided to have a third area treated. I would highly recommend this place for laser hair removal. The people there are very nice and they have done a very good job. Not one bad experience there so far.

The staff is friendly, straight forward, and it works. I am half way though and have shaved maybe twice. Love it!

I just finished my 5^th treatment today. The Sunset Hills location is awesome. The treatments really work. Already seeing amazing results with the laser hair removal. Hair is growing back slower and finer! The staff here is very friendly so that’s a plus!

I absolutely love Sunset Hills Ideal Image! I started out with my underarms and legs and just added on my bikini area. I know it’s pricey but you can usually wait a week or so and get some deal they are running. Plus I have 0% financing for all my treatments. I used to be a 2 a day shaver and now I shave about once a week and I’m just now on my 5^th of 9 treatments. (I’m actually posting this during my treatment). The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. i have recommended friends before and I’m recommending you now. Don’t go some place that charges a couple hundred bucks or gives you a groupon. You will waste your money and be disappointed!

Love this place! Staff are all amazing and I am so happy with my results! Have not shaved my bikini or underarms all summer! My only complain… Should have done my legs at the same time!!! My goal is to be hair free by next summer! Yeah!!!

Super expensive!!! For lower legs with a discount of 60%, I still ended up paying almost $ 4000! And it was such a waste of money! I would really expect for that price that it would be permanent, but it’s not. I haven’t done a treatment in about a year and a half and I end up having to shave the previously treated area at least once or twice a week. And when I don’t shave, I get tiny clear hairs that grow along with dark hairs. I really should’ve researched other places to get this done that were more affordable but even then, I felt pressured to sign up when I went in for my consultation. And the pain… oh gosh IT HURTS!!! They compare it to a rubber band snap, but if you think about it, that smarts something awful. I put up with it because I thought it was permanent, but I was wrong. Bottom line: take your money somewhere else. The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the staff was pretty friendly. Too bad they’re only in business to scam your money.

I’ve been going to Ideal Image now for almost a year. I chose to do my bikini area because it’s super sensitive and never looks great after shaving or waxing. I heard about their 70% off summer sale on the radio, so decided to give it a try… And I’m so happy I did! I’ve done 8 treatments (there’s a total of 9) and I think I’ve shaved that area maybe once in the past 2 months, and even then it’s not that bad. I’d say as of today, I’m 95% hair free around my lady parts and would be happy with the results if I stopped today. But I still have one more treatment and they have a lifetime guarantee, so no point in quitting now!
The staff is really nice, too. I felt a little awkward the first couple of times I went in because I was completely naked from the waist down and had my legs wide open, but the nurses are very professional and by the 3^rd visit I barely cared. Their hours are long enough that I can make an appointment after work and get out in 15 minutes. They’re also open on Saturdays.
I’ve been so happy with my bikini area that I just signed up to do my lower legs. By next summer, I hopefully won’t have to worry about a razor!

I had my upper lip and full bikini line done at the Sunset Hills, MO location. They are very expensive but decided to go for it. My treatments have been complete for 7 months, and I have a lot of hair regrowth! I loved the treatments as I was going through it. I never really had to shave while the treatments were going on. Now that my treatments are complete, I can definitely tell you that this is definitely not permanent… and it should be for the price I paid! I have to shave all the time. I would say that I’ve had about 50% hair regrowth. I was told during the consultation that I was an «ideal candidate» based on my skin tone and dark hair. Ideal image is a scam and you will not have permanent hair removal once the treatments stop. Oh, by the way, when I called Sunset Hills about my hair regrowth, I was told my package was complete and that I could come in for additional treatments for $ 40 each. Save your money… avoid Ideal Image. Also, I overheard the nurses talking, and they make commission off of every treatment purchased. They were bragging about being one of the highest commissioned branches. It pays for them to get us to sign up and they will tell us what we want to hear in order to get their commission.
UPDATE: I was contacted by Rachel at the Ideal Image located in Creve Coeur, MO. She read my review and has been very helpful in at least trying to make things right. I unfortunately moved due to my husband being in the military and do not live in a state where there is an Ideal Image. I will update upon completion of the additional treatments (although I have know idea when we will be stateside and able to complete the additional treatments) and let you know my outcome.

No price quotes over the phone.
$ 3800 for armpits
$ 4000 for lower legs and feet after their «65%» discount.
Staff was very nice until their services were declined. Then they basically forced me out the door.

$ 1091.00 This review is only to let others know the price I was quoted for laser hair removal at Ideal Image. I found it very annoying that they will not tell you on the telephone any idea of cost, so I decided to go to the consultation. The front desk staff was friendly and I filled out many forms about my skin and hair color and how the sun affects my skin. That was the extent of personalizing my treatment plan and I don’t think my consultant even looked at it other than a quick flip through. She proclaimed the benefits of Ideal Image, tried to scare me that facial hair only gets worse with age, and then told me my price. She didn’t examine the area in question or anything. Upper lip with their current sale and an ‘extra’ discount would be $ 1091. When I replied that no, I wouldn’t get the treatment she got defensive about other laser hair removal providers not being permanent and pretty much ruined my view that they were nice. I have very little hair on my upper lip, so don’t think that you will go in and get a different quote. She said they do the whole area and it takes 18 months overall no matter what. Without researching it, I believe her claim that they are the only ‘permanent’ hair removal and I don’t plan to look into other providers. If they just let some idea of pricing be known it wouldn’t be a big deal.
