BEWARE! All of the injectors are so full of fillers, they steal from the client and use the fillers in their faces. Ask to see the syringe before after.

And beware when they transfer the filler from larger syringe to smaller syringes. Be sure and count each syringe or you will NOT get what you paid for.

The client is out the money and does NOT get the desired results. However, the injector has the remainder syringes and either sells them or uses them on herself. IT IS A RIP OFF. I am reporting them to every agency until corporate office does a extensive investigation and stops this atrocity.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The concept is great the downright thievery is a rip off. Everyone in that place looks like a plastic person, they are so overly injected. And after what I witnessed the injectors are ripping off the client to keep their own faces plumped up. Corporate office needs to conduct a sting.

AND stop this nonsense. You simply do NOT and I state again, you do NOT get what you pay for.

I agree with the above comment. I too spent over $1000 on Botox and fillers.

I did not see her fill the syringes. I actually could not see them after the service either because she covered them up. Any other place I have ever gone before actually fills the syringes directly from the small Botox bottle {hydrates the powder}right in front of you. I find it very sad and disappointing that this is happening.

They have no integrity or return clients for that matter. Live and Learn.....

National Laser Institute will soon be a "business" of the past. We can only hope.

National Laser Institute - E- Matrix Review from Phoenix, Arizona

I spent over thousand dollars at the National laser institute in scottsdale

I was treated with e- matrix promising great results.. Horrible outcome i saw no difference in my face in addition i developed broken capillairs on face.

Brooks at National basically said it was my fault because i used obagi products.. Said nothing she could nor did she offer ... Beware!!! They want only your money and they do not stand behind their services....

Do not make mistake and throw away your money...Dont go there!

Do your research and ensure a Doctor over looks the company... These techs act like doctors

I apologize you did not get the result you desired. The ematrix is a wonderful treatment but its not for everyone.

I would love to invite you back to our medspa for a SERIES of complementary treatments to achieve your desired skin rejuvenation result as maybe a photo facial or diff type of technology would work better. Please email our client services manager ashlee@nlimedspa.com whom i already informed of this message.

National Laser Institute - Course Review from Scottsdale, Arizona

I wanted to learn lasers and begin a new career. On the phone they painted a good picture.

When i toured there, i spent more time in the break room and how they said they had designer coffee. I literally spent 12 seconds looking at their equipment as thats all they allowed. I had to tell the gal that this wasnt the school for me. I cut the tour short.

I chose another school that begins with N and made a great choice. Do your research.

Dont waste your money going to National Laser Institute

This school is a RIP OFF! They will charge you $8850 for 2 weeks of training. The Admissions Reps will fill your head with all sorts of lies about your career potential.

The owner, Louis Silberman, is a snake in the grass lining his pockets with your hard earned money. Unless you are already an Aesthetician, have a job lined up or the financial resources to open your own Med Spa, you will be standing on the unemployment lines before you know what hit you.

Repeat.. DO NOT waste your time or money on this place. They don't care about you They just care about getting more & more wealthy at your expense. Shame on them. They will all rot in ***.

We feel bad you have not been offered a job yet. However, please do not throw in the towel as this is a billion dollar marketplace and there are countless laser techs working nationwide at the thousands of medspas and docs offices that provide these services.

If its any indication of how big this industry is pfizer the creator of viagra recently offered allergan creator of botox 65 Billion dollars to acquire them as they want to enter this industry. Its always frustrating when we don't quickly achieve our goals and dreams but we encourage you to be persistent.

Did you know Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks got turned down i think 265 times before he finally landed a loan to start his biz? We wish you best of luck

Guest

Yep! They are greedy theives and liars!!!!

Guest

I am a cosmetologist for 10 years now I attended NLI 1 year ago and still no job will even consider me since im not an esthetician.

Guest

I went to NLI and I had a good experience. The staff was knowledgeable.

As far as I can tell most laser schools programs are not long.

Not sure how it was a rip-off because I got certified by the state. No one ever promised me job, so I got what I paid for- an education on Lasers and certified.

Guest

I agree. It's a two week program and most places won't hire anyone who took a two week program. Think about it.

Guest

NATIONAL LASER INSTITUTE IS A COMPLETE SCAM !!! DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL !!!

A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND HORRIBLE CORRESPODENCE FROM ENTIRE STAFF !!!

NOT A VALUABLE EDUCATION WHAT-SO-EVER !!!! BEWARE !!!!

Guest

What exactly made it a "rip off"?

Rip Off!!

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

by Becca 05/19/2010

I am very disappointed. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a free tattoo removal, and after contacting them, found that it was just a free consultation and free 1st treatment. I went ahead with making an appointment, but was unable to make my scheduled time. They have a 48-hour cancellation policy, and when I sheduled my appointment I was already within that 48-hour window. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to make my scheduled appointment, and had the choice to go in later or be charged $100! So, they are charging me for not taking advantage of a free offer!! This is not the behavior of a reputable company. Due to the way they run their business and the "policy" the representative quoted, I would not give them the pleasure of your business or time.

I called after going over their entire website and researching other schools & was talked to very rudely. My questions were not answered when I asked questions pertaining to what the site reads and then instead of my question being acknowledged & answered the female there started a shpeel, wasting her breath telling me each state has regulations- yeah, no *** Sherlock- Since when did we indicate I don't know how America works..? My questions about how to enroll were not acknowledged, and she hung up in my face while I was in mid sentence asking for Admissions.

Sounds like a simple misunderstanding. We would love the opportunity to offer you your next 5 tattoo removal treatments on the house. Please contact ashlee@nlimedspa.com thanks and my apologies for the frustration

Guest

Perhaps you should have been on time for your appointment.

Guest

Then you should of shown up. The appointments that are free are for students in training demonstrations so you mess up their schooling schedule. Guess you will learn

Guest

Yep!!! They are a rip off!

Guest

Beware!!!! Rip off!

Don't go there... Paid a over a thousand for e matrix. No results. In addition I developed broken capillaries all over my face.

Brooks tech said it was my fault because I was using obaji products... They cannot admit fault.

They do not stand behind their services.... Wasted my time and money

Guest

I saw an add on the internet get one laser treatment and you will get the second free, so I called and scheduled an appointment they told me photofacial is what i need. I drove 50 miles each way , and the instructor said my face is too tanned and she can't do the photofacial , but suggested that I get a chemical peel at the spa and that should take care of the problem.

I paid $125.00 for light peel that diid nothing for me and they knew that. The place is a rip off!

Guest

The med spa isn't the least bit luxurious. They talk it up like it's so great, but you'll find better service elsewhere.

There are so many medical spas to choose from. I had a few treatments here and was not satisfied.

This is one of the worst spas I've been to. Honestly.

Guest

Jesse, I agree with you! There are a couple of other places I have found recently and will go there instead!

You can tell most of these posts are by employees trying to make national laser institute look good. Guess they have to since their ethics dont speak for themselves!

Guest

What a shame. I was thinking about having some tattoos removed from this place, but after reading so many BS posts written by either, employees, students, or friends, I think i will take my business elsewhere. I will never know if they do decent work or not, but all the fake BS posts let me know, that they are less than honest.
