Lots of Laser Hair Removal Deals This Long Weekend

It is another one of those weekends for the daily deal companies who are offering a host of laser hair removal options for Canadians. For consistent readers of our blog you already know that we do a lot of digging into prices of laser hair removal. It appears this service is gaining in popularity as more and more people look to remove their body hair, so we want to make sure that people are as educated on the pricing of the service. That said, price is only one consideration. You want to make sure the technician is qualified and the business is reputable. For those, we do not cover, so use this blog as a proxy of what you can expect but always do your own research prior to making any commitment to proceed with laser hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal of the Underarm

For all the deals below, we will look at the price per underarm session. We find this to be the most component spot listed in the deal sites as well as the price that is most commonly listed on companies websites.

Calgary

Site: LivingSocial
Business: Reveal Rejuvenation Inc.
Deal: Four Laser Hair-Removal Sessions for $99. That works out to $25 per session.

This site does not list their regular prices, so it is pretty easy for them to inflate the price on this deal to make it sound more attractive. However, at $25 per underarm session, we would deem this a good deal.

Site: TeamBuy
Business: Chehra Wellness Spa
Deal: $275 for 1 Year of Unlimited Laser Hair Removal from Chehra Wellness Spa ($3000 Value)

This site does not list their regular prices. This particular deal is limited to a very small number of body parts, Underarm, bikini, side burns, upper lip, men’s neck and back of men’s neck. If you are a man, this might actually be a good deal, however, if you are a women likely their are only 3 areas that are valid, underarm, bikini and upper lip. If we look specifically at underarm laser hair removal and consider that most deals, including ones we reviewed previously at back in October on Groupon deals, we actually don’t believe this to be a good deal. Typically you will need 6 to 8 sessions to remove the hair in your armpits, so at 6 sessions, this would end up costing you $45.83 per session and at 8 sessions this would cost you $34.37 per session. So unless you have need for the other areas, be cautious of this deal. We would not deem this one to be a good deal.

Site: DealTicker
Business: Rootz Laser
Deal: $39 for 3 Laser Hair Removal Treatments of Your Choice in the Specified Areas (Basic Bikini, Underarms, Upper Lip, Chin, Cheeks, Side Burns, Uni Brow, Breasts, Sternum, Back of Neck, Front of Neck, Hands, Feet, Naval Strip, and Toes)

Specific to the deal, this is a good deal. At $13 per underarm session, this is one of the best we have seen. Definitely worth checking out. Also, for men looking to get their groin area done, this business also provides this service. According to their site the groin area is $290 per session for men and a full brazilian bikini for women is $200. For men, how does this compare, check out our original post Getting a Male Brazilian via Laser Hair Removal in Calgary with Prices, but at $290 this is competitive.

Durham Region

Site: WagJag
Business: Body Bliss Beautique (Whitby)
Deal: $99 for 6 Laser Hair Removal Sessions

$16.50 per underarm session is always a good deal.

Site: WagJag
Business: Smooth Hair Removal & Skin Therapy (Uxbridge)
Deal: $115 for 4 Laser Hair Removal Sessions for the Underarms

$28.75 per underarm session is a little high for these types of deals. This could be dependent on the market, we can’t imagine in Uxbridge, there are lots of options for laser hair removal.

Edmonton

Site: Dealicious
Business: Skin Deep Laser The Holistic Medi-Spa
Deal: $49 For 2 Laser Hair Removal

At $24.50 per deal, in Edmonton, we don’t consider this to be a great deal. It is okay, but not steller. This site lists their regular price list, check it out. In the past we have done a full analysis on full legs in Edmonton via laser hair removal and comparing their regular price of $600 and up for women, they are on the high-side of prices in Edmonton. NOTE: according to their site they also prefer laser hair removal on men’s genitals.

Site: Dealfind
Business: Transformations Body Management Clinic
Deal: $89 for 6 Laser Hair Removal Sessions on Your Choice of Bikini Line, Underarms, Stomach Line, Forehead, Cheeks, Upper Lip, Chin, Sideburns, Hands, Feet or Ears

At $14.83 per underarm session this is a good deal. NOTE: this site does not list its regular prices

Halifax

Site: WagJag
Business: Aurora Aesthetics
Deal: $89 for 5 Laser Hair Removal Treatments

At $17.80 per underarm session, this is a good deal. NOTE: they have their full price list on their site and offer male brazilians and female brazilians. They charge the same for men and women at $199 per session or package of 5 for $796. This is pretty good. We did a complete Canadian analysis of Female Brazilian laser hair removal prices across Canada’s largest cities, Aurora Aesthetics benchmarks extremely well.

Saskatoon

Site: Groupon
Business: Acadia Cosmetic & Laser Centre
Deal: $149 for Six Laser Hair-Removal Sessions for Small Areas or Three Sessions for Large Areas

At $49.66 per underarm session this is a bad deal when compared to other across the country. This deal actually places underarms as a large area and their regular price is $180. This deal would make sense if you are planning to do your legs, from the fine print appears you can use for lower legs which they claim is $525 per session regular price. Be careful with this deal.

Ottawa

Site: LivingSocial
Business: Canadian Laser Clinic
Deal: $99 for 3 Three Laser Hair-Removal Treatments

At $33 per underarm session, this is not a good deal.

Toronto

Site: DealFind
Business: Paramedical Skin Health
Deal: $79 for 6 Laser Hair Removal Sessions on Your Choice of Bikini Line, Underarms, Stomach Line, Upper Lip, Eyebrows, Chin, Cheeks, Forehead, Hands, Feet, Jaw Line, Ears, Nose or Sideburns

At $13 per underarm session this is a good deal. They have a link to their price list in PDF format, however, at the time of this blog post we could not download to compare to regular price. The deal price, however, is good.

Site: Groupon
Business: California Laser Med Spa
Deal: $89 for Three Laser Hair-Removal Treatments

At $29 per session this deal is average. Not spectacular but also not the worst. On their site, they don’t list their regular prices, but what they list as regular price on their Groupon deal page, $750 for 3-sessions is on the high-side. In our opinion we don’t consider this to be a good deal.

Site: WagJag
Business: Mississauga Cosmetic Surgery Clinic
Deal: $89 for 3 Underarm Laser Hair Removal Sessions

At $29.67 per underarm session this deal is not the best. Note: this site does not post its regular prices

Vancouver

Site: TeamBuy
Business: Heavenly Soul Spa
Deal: $99 for 6 Laser Hair Removal Treatments

At $16.50 per session, this is a good deal. They do offer a price list, however they don’t stipulate whether the services are for men as well as women. $150 for female brazilian via laser is reasonable.

Site: WagJag
Business: Metropolis Laser Centre
Deal: $99 for 3 Underarm Laser Hair Removal

At $33 per session, this is not a good deal.

Electrolysis Prices Across Canada

Continuing our series of looking at prices across Canada for hair removal (we recently did a full body laser hair removal cost analysis, male Brazilian laser prices in Vancouver, laser hair removal prices in Edmonton, waxing comparison prices in Canada’s largest cities, and male Brazilian laser removal in Calgary) we felt like we were neglecting the only permanent form of hair removal which is Electrolysis (here is the link to Electrology on Wikipedia that explains the process in detail). So we decided to look around the Internet to see what the average cost for 1-hour of Electrolysis is across the country. This is only a sample and we are only listing sites that display their pricing.

On thing of note, none of the contributors to this blog have every done Electrolysis, therefore, if you have done Electrolysis in the past we would love to hear your experience, how many treatments, where you got it done and the cost of your treatments.

Here are our findings.

We found 17 clinics in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal that listed their prices. The average price for 1-hour of electrolysis across these 17 clinics is $61.43 with Calgary coming it at the highest average ($71) and Winnipeg coming it at the lowest average price ($56.67). Note: Calgary is skewed higher because we had a sample size of 3 clinics and 1 clinic has a really high price (if we remove this clinic, Calgary is actually the lowest average at $56.50).

Male Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Prices in Vancouver

Continuing our posts around prices, we have compiled a list of places in Vancouver who explicitly indicate they offer a male brazilian laser hair removal treatments and provide prices. Check out our post for Male Brazilian prices in Calgary.

We were a little disappointed at the lack of transparency in the Vancouver market. We used a number of resources to compile this data including Google and YellowPages.ca and there simply was not a lot of information. Many of the sites we visited simply did not list their prices.

NOTE: we have only included businesses who specifically indicate they do male’s and have prices on their website. If you know of other places in Vancouver to get a male brazilian done, please add them to the comment section, our readers will thank you.

How does the Vancouver pricing compare to Calgary? We did a comparison at the bottom of this posting.
