National Laser Institute
Reviews and Complaints

I graduated with almost 40 people. Tuition was about $7,295.

After speaking with almost every student, that we're offered or aware and given the option of a scholarship. Almost everyone in my program receive $1000 off of there tuition cost yet I wasn't even given that option. The reason the financial advisor gave away scholarship was for "hardships" "travel expenses", both of which would make me elidgible. I traveled 6 hours from where I reside to attend the course.

I was the only African American women attending the course with the exception of two others who,(after speaking to) also paid 7,295 instead of $6,295 like everyone else and had no idea that a grant/scholarship even existed.

It's discrimation. All of the students are not treated fairly and the financial advisor Pooja is prejudice, unprofessional, and dishonest.

This company offers services that compare with going to the doctors office and come up extremely short. Buy a package with multiple treatments and get those treatments with the lasers set so low that no results are ever achieved.

Don't waste your time and money. I have let them know that the machines are set to low based on past treatments. There response is that they will fix the problem next time but nothing changes. They will just take your time and money leaving you very aggravated in the process.

This is a scam. A very unprofessional environment I choose to never do business with the National Laser Institute and will be very careful when I see the warning signs at any other establishments.

So if I received a lisence from NLI is it legitamate--? -Because that's how they make themselves sound when the female who answered the line won't even answer MY questions and directs it back to "where I live", which is also annoying because gee, did you ever think that I'm not going to be practicing where I currently live?

And I know they're trying to cover themselves.. So upon receiving a lisence from NLI would I be readily able to work ANYWHERE given the guidelines of each State? I asked her that and informed her I'm not coming from the medical feild and am not seeking the injectibles course and that I want to become a licensed spa laser technician. For my own readons doll, how do you like that for an anwer?

Because I want to be licensed & order my own equipment and work in that feild if and when I choose. Did that ever occur to your *** ***? ..But how can I truly want to go here now after this lesser being treated me so rudely as if I am dumber than she & she works a pathetic phone job. ***, as if.

Do your job and guide the person along who wants to attend. Actually my last jobs were being photographed with a celebrity, gee, wonder how I got there in life so how dare your small brained little self speak down to anybody when your job is to provide customer service?

You are *** pathetic in my book. Congratulations..

Such a great experience . I graduate last month and I cant imagine anybody could say anything but great things about this school and the superb training they have to offer!

I researched diligently before I came to this school and found it to be the very best! I had training with NLI they really care about their students and education and I got t work on the best lasers and my teachers were very knowledgeable and made me feel so welcome! I was offered help to update my resume and received emails of jobs near me and I landed a job right out of school with no prior training in aesthetics and love my job working for a top plastic surgeon!

I highly recommend this school to anybody that wants a career change! Courtney Parker

I had several injectables performed on 2/14/16. I had Botox, Juvederm and Restylane.

I Spent $1600-more than expected. The results of the Juvederm and Restylane were awful. I had huge bumps just underneath my lips where the Juvederm was injected. The Restylane is supposed to last up to 18 months or more.

Nope. You can already see the decline. I do not believe the actual dosage you pay for is used. I called several times to get an appointment for correction.

Back and forth with scheduling and nothing. The service was rendered in February. I began with my concerns in March, allowing at least 30 days for results. No follow up to correct the poorly administered injections, no refund, nothing.

Do not trust they will do anything to correct any concerns or issues you may have-it is just a matter of collecting $$$ regardless of the services and outcome.

I went in to have some fine lines around my eyes treated. The technician said I needed to have a micro-peel done.

I asked if it would irritate my skin too much since I'd had fat grafting almost nine months prior. She assured me it wouldn't, and even said that I would have little to no swelling. My face swelled up about 30 percent for four days and became so inflamed it was oozing. I tried calling the institute's nurse and doctor and made over 7 to 8 calls, many which were not returned.

Finally I talked with the doctor who said what was happening was normal. I scheduled an appointment with a local dermatologist who said my treatment was a mid level skin peel, not a light peel.

I now have worse wrinkles under my eyes and much of my fat grafting dissolved in the process of swelling and inflamation. Thinking of filing a case against them.

National Laser Institute Is NOT A School with any type of accreditation, This is place is a COMPLETE SCAM, They are selling a Line OF *** to justify them Steeling your money.

My 18 daughter was lured into the scam, She is enrolled in a local cosmetology and aesthetic class and wanted to get laser accreditation as well, She contacted the N.L.I and was Directed to a Marty an Admissions Adviser. Marty informed her about what they offer and availability of classes, what she will learn, where and how she can earn easy money just doing this part time alongside of her aesthetic practice.

Also informed her that in our state she can practice anywhere without a license, unlike cosmetology & aesthetic that here in our state requires a license. My Daughter was so excited that she paid her class deposit and contacted me and told me all about it and gave me, Marty the Admissions Adviser's Info and the schools phone number to of course steel my money.

I contacted Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute It took me 12 calls to finally talk with him due to each time I called the call would not ring but go directly to Voice Mail, When Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute and I finally connected he greeted me with “Thank You for Calling Mr ****** I know you are calling regarding your daughter ******* and I will take that credit card number to clear up the balance so I can confirm your daughter for the class starting in April.”

I said Marty that is a way of answering the phone that I have never ever heard in my life. I went on to explain I was not calling to surrender any credit card or money at this time,because I have many questions that I would like info from you on before any balance is paid. I went on to ask him about what they offered what the total course cost is, how and where will my daughter will be able to practice this skill.

I was out right Lied to by Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute, I was told in the state we are in there are no laws or special licensing required and that she will be able to practice this new skill anyplace. I.E a local salon or a mobile laser hair and tattoo removal, he said the list was endless as well as the demand and income would be as well.

Then again asked me for my credit card number to pay the balance so he can confirm the April date my daughter had requested. I slowed Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute down again and requested some references from recent students that had attended classes at National Laser Institute.

I was told that he cannot give our references and any question I have I can reference the website, I informed Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute that I have read the website and what I was needing from him was recent references from real people that attended classed at National Laser Institute, not a web page produced, owned and marketed by them.

Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Institute informed me that that is against company policy and any references I would ever need will be on the website.

( REDFLAG) !

I did my own research on our state laws regarding the use of a laser on the human body, as well as National Laser Institute over the following week, I was amazed at the outright LIE that Marty at National Laser Institute had told me as well as my daughter about the use of lasers in our state.

I discussed this with my daughter and she now had the facts of how/where she would be able to practice and utilize this skill if she decided to. She convinced me that she still would like to take the class so I agreed and made a follow up call to Marty at National Laser Institute.

Again after many calls from me and again the phone going directly to voice mail with no ring, Marty returned my call, again he stared the conversation with “ I will take that Credit Card number now” I requested from Marty that he fax or email me the enrollment documents with what course was selected as well as the total course cost and payments applied and balance due. My answer was “ I will email you your credit card receipt after your payment” I said No Marty I will not give you my credit card until I get a listing of what I am paying for and what credits have been applied. Marty the Admissions Adviser for National Laser Hung up on Me”

The following day I discussed this with my daughter and she was very disappointed but still wanted to get laser training, She spoke with Crissy Noble Director of Admissions National Laser Institute.

Crissy called me and of course gave me every reason you can think of to get me to surrender my Credit card payment and she however did email me what I had requested from Marty, which was a course cost with applied payments and Scholarship amount with outstanding balance. As for the info on references of recent attendees of the class I again was sent a link to the website and a link to enter my credit card info into Google Pay.

When the Google Pay screen appeared RED FLAG

My advice Stay away from this place. They want to steel from you
