We wish it wasn’t, but the lasers are very expensive, over $100,000 and the cost of the laser treatments must help cover those costs. For example the cost to purchase the equipment for doing waxing may be just a few hundred dollars. If that equipment must be replaced every few years, then that is factored in, but for waxing it is less than a dollar a day. For a laser salon they may spend several (or many) thousands of dollars a month to pay for the lasers, so that gets factored into the costs.
We at Bella Pelle Laser try to keep the rest of our overhead as low as reasonably possible, so we can keep our costs lower than other salons. If you are in the Metro Denver Boulder area please come visit us for your Laser Hair Removal needs.
