Verified ReviewerBuyer Beware!
Huge Scam - Buyer Beware! I have been going there for 5 years, solely because I purchased large packages when I first started. Results have been mixed (they have changed machines several times, and some laser techs are better than others - so it is a *** as to who you will get and if it will be effective at all). I am now to the point that I have about half of my packages left, and I would rather pay elsewhere than go back there for free - that is how bad they are. They are so unprofessional, so rude, and should not be in business!
First of all - they have cancelled my last 3 appointments on me with almost no notice. They just say "We are sorry, but we do not have a laser tech in that day." Then why make the appointment with me? I come from out of town and plan around my appointments like most people would - so last minute cancellations consistently are just not OK.
Next - when I originally purchased my packages, I showed them what areas I wanted to have lasered. They gave me a price based on that, and they have been doing my treatments for years now. All of a sudden after years, they tell me that I was missold all of those years ago, and that they can't do the full areas that they have been doing for me for years now, unless I pay substantially more. Not exactly sure how it is my fault that THEY missold me - but I wouldn't have paid all of that money if they told me that up front! Such a scam.
I then said that I don't want to do business with them anymore if they are unwilling to do the original areas that I paid for and that they have been doing all of these years - not to mention that they keep cancelling on me last second. I said I wanted a refund for the remainder of my package, and that we can "part as friends". Sharon said that I am not entitled to any refund because the deal that I got was "buy 9 treatments, and get the next 9 for free" - and that I was currently using my "free" treatments. So - because of the marketing ploy that the use to sign customers up - they are unwilling to refund anything despite the fact that THEY are the ones who consistently cancel on me and have changed the terms of our original contract. What awful service, and such an unprofessional place! Definitely read all of the reviews on here before doing business with them (I regret not doing that myself) - the negative ones are all true. As for the positive reviews? I know for a fact that a lot of them are fake as the owner, Sharon, told me that herself when we had a discussion about marketing and reviews years ago. Stay far, far, far away from this place! They stole thousands of dollars from me, and many other people - and they will just take your money and run!

ELITE PAYS FOR REVIEWS. Look at the pictures I have attached, every 5 star review is written by a paid company that reviews people all over the world..If you want real reviews of this horrible establishment, look at Yelp.
Elite has also paid Yelp to bury their negative reviews under a tiny grey link that says "not recommended reviews," but don't worry, I have attached pictures of real reviews and the link :) https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/elite-laser-centers-stony-brook
The owner Sharon is a DISGRACE. She has BURNED me and then lied about it, she brings her DOG into the facility, she barged into my treatment session once, interrupted the nurse performing my treatment and said "okay you're done, let's go," and then walked out and did it to another patient. Beware of buying a package there!!!!!!... She changed the terms of my package 3 times..each time, the value went down but I received no money back; I've heard she does this to everyone!
The receptionists are nasty, nasty women who double-book and then call you the day of your appointment to change it if they want to go home early (it happened every single appointment that I had for the first year. Finally I said, "no, I am coming my scheduled time, stop calling me to change my appointments."...they stopped!) I switched to a new place after my package (prematurely) ended here for a different part of my body and I saw results AFTER ONE SESSION when I saw nothing for a year at Elite because Sharon has no idea what she is doing. She rips people off and is a scam artist.
Any dealings with her need to be in writing and on video because SHE IS A LIAR!!!!! Head to Yelp and see the crazy things she has done to these people.
STAY AWAY!!
I went to elite laser for a cool sculpting treatment on my stubborn belly fat. I was told I was a “perfect candidate “ and asking numerous questions about the results, was never told that I might need more then one treatment.
After going back several times for “after pic” I didn’t see much of a difference at all! I spoke with the owner Sharon and she ( without to much hesitation, agreed with me and made an appointment for another treatment free of charge. She waited a week to call and tell me she changed her mind. I pleaded my case and she seem to be swayed to do the right thing.
She told me she would call me in a few days. I received a confirmation text a few days later and responded confirming that I would be there. They waited to the morning of the appointment to call and tell me she had not changed her mind and I would have to pay.
She didn’t even have the decency or courage to call me herself. I am disappointed and hurt that people can be so cruel.
Preferred solution: Full refund
Owner is a Liar
Talked me into purchasing a package saying it never expired!! Only the guarantee of 3 years would expire.
My name is in the computer..
But of course no record of my package! Owner is manic STAY AWAY
Best fillers and facial experience
I have been going here for years and receive many different services from all my fillers to facials and laser. I am always satisfied .
The staff is very friendly and Sharon is honest with what she can and can’t do. Ill be going for years to come and have many friends also using them
Similar business name
This place is in Ottawa and should not be confused with another center that has a similar name.
AVOID THIS JUNK-BOX! ELITE LASER HAIR SUCKS!
STAY AWAY!!!! ELITE LASER BURNED THE *** OUT OF ME.
We are currently suing them under Suffolk County NDEX NO. 600872/2015. Do not fall for their lies to "put your trust in the hands of a registered nurse". They LIE!
They had a young girl with NO MEDICAL BACK GROUND, AND NO CERTIFIED TRAINING do my treatments. I HAVE BEEN IRREPERABLY HARMED AND SCARRED FOR LIFE! DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH YOU! The owner Sharon McDonough and Patrick McDonough closed down Elite Laser Hair inc, Elite Laser Hair Elite Laser Hair II, and are misleadingly operating under "Elite Laser Centers".
However, they Changed their coprporate name to Elite Laser Medi-spa LLC on January 7, 2015, to minimize their exposure from our lawsuit.
AVOID THESE CROOKS! I WILL UPDATE THE PUBLIC ACCORDINGLY!
Preferred solution: Full refund
ELITE LASER CENTERS REAL REVIEWS
I went to Elite Laser Center in January of this year. The "Nurse" offered me a Package at a "dicscounted price" if I bought it that day. She kept bragging that she was a nurse and that she does all the treatments. After I bought the package, they had someone else (NOT A NURSE) doing treatments. I also did some diging and found out that the "Nurse", Sharon McDonough has quite the colorful past. Her "professional career" was a disaster, but more recently, she changed her business names SEVERAL TIMES, starting when she used to operate in the smith haven mall kiosk. They had quite the colorful BBB complaints under her previous business names. And about a year ago their Bohemia location closed because they dont know what theyre doing.
The best part, I began going elsewhere for treatments and found out that Sharon McDonough sent an employee (Megan Mattern) for a pre-arranged fake "consultation" into a copetitors office to STEAL their pricing and other trade secrets right out of the competitors office. The owners (and some of the young and impressionable employees with whom they pray on to do their dirty work) are untethical, incompetant, jealous and unsavory people.
It just goes to show you why WINNERS focus on winning, while LOSERS focus on winners...
PS. This is why the 5-star, dreamy reviews you will find on-line about Elite Laser Centers are fabricated. One last thought, doesn't the word "centers" imply there is more than one location??? Theres only one location. Public deception at its finest!
Elite Laser Hair - Owner Review
This place is terrible! Came here for a consultation and met with the owner Sharon.
She had some pitch. She kept bragging that she was a nurse, as if that matters. In all fairness, as a nurse, why are you shooting a laser? I can only imagine why.
Plus, they literally had a dog barking in a back office.
I am repulsed. Not for me.
Elite Laser Hair is a rip off! False Advertising. THE TRUTH about elite laser hair reviews
They Lured me in with a $16 internet ad. The woman knew I did not have money as a single mother. She hustled me for over a thousand dollars and when I wanted to stop coming, she basically threatened me with loosing my money.
Dont trust Elite Laser Hair Removal in Bohemia, NY. Elite Laser Hair removal on Veterans Memorial Highway, Bohemia, NY is a SHAM!
*******DONT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!******
THEIR SERVICE HURTS LIKE *** TOO! IT WASNT SUPPOSED TO HURT!
I would like to know how people like this can sleep at night. $1000 may not be a lot of money to some people, but it literally takes food off our tables at night.
I read other complaints about them too. Obviously im not the only people they manipulate.
Elite laser hair Bohemia ny stony brook ny Robbed Me
Dont go to elite laser hair in bohemia or stony brook ny. they are racist. They refused to treat me at first because of the color of my skin. They are rude and they overcharged me for a treatment that I was talked into. The place in Bohemia is a ghost town. I felt like I was in a spider web!
They were rude and she was constantly reminding me of the color of my skin. Maybe they never saw anything but irish skin before, but they are unprofessional and insulting. The laser service sucked too!

So many bad reviews, malpractice complaints on the horizon. One would have been mine.
A salon is close by and temptation was high until I read thirty reviews.
Same situation, poor quality work w/ exaggerated fees. Thanks to all who posted.
