Laser Hair Removal Forum

Ronda Scheil's son paid nearly $1,400 to Charlotte Laser Center near Ballantyne for a series of hair-removal treatments, but the center suddenly closed this month after he'd made only one visit. Scheil said she got bounced between two owners, who blamed each other for things going wrong. "My son delivered a lot of pizzas for this money," she said. Another laser business that specialized in hair removal, Bella Voi in Carolina Place Mall, unexpectedly closed last month with a number of customers out money.

Charlotte Laser Center is going through foreclosure, and customers have little chance of getting their money back, said Chuck Lewis, attorney for one-time center owner Gary Hamilton, who's owed money from the sale of the business last year.
