Hi! I booked with them directly laser hair removal back in July 2016 over the phone (they gave me the same discount as was on Groupon). After 2 weeks I changed my mind and wanted a refund. I was very surprised when they told me that the money was non-refundable. I already send 2 letters (waiting time for reply is 27 working days!) + I called Citizens Advice Bureau Consumer helpline. My next step will be court! So disappointed that VG Medispa don't respect their customers.
Update- On 29 Nov 2016 after reading bad review of VGMedispa on another site, I've contacted my credit card company who is now opened a dispute case for me. Maybe this will speed up the process of getting my money back!
Contact your bank for a refund. It's the only way to get your money back.
VGMediSpa is a con. Money is taken from customers without them ever completing the treatments. GROUPON are promoting this fraud. Thousands of pounds have been lost!
Don't believe me? Call Berkley Square 2nd floor reception and ask to be put through to VG Medi Spa. That's where the supposed head office is. It doesn't exist.
Unless you want to give crooks your money AVOID!
I've being going to VG Medispa in Manchester for over a year now and I'm quite happy with the results from my laser. Dee is great, makes you feel very relaxed and is knowledgeable on all services and extras that may aid the process. Would definitely recommend going here.
Thank you for taking the time to review our clinics, we are delighted you are happy with the results of your treatment. We will share your feedback with the team and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Many Thanks VGMEDISPA
I went into the Percy St salon in London. I cant even be bothered to go into what happened. I didnt actually get round to a treatment as the reception staff were so rude. Reading other people's reviews on here and other sites, I agree. Whenever there's a negative review, its followed up straight away with a 5 star positive one and always written the same. "name"... ie... Dee, at "this salon. Ie: Manchester etc, is brilliant. How many staff do they employ to write these! Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere. No idea how this place exists!
Dear Lesley,
Thank you for taking time to leave us a comment. We take all of our clients' feedback seriously and review all of the comments, good and bad, in order to improve our services.
Our staff in customer services are given guidelines to follow so that they can manage client expectations in regards to the treatments purchased either directly or via third parties such as Groupon and Wowcher.
As far as the claims of fake reviews, all reviews are made by customers who have visited our clinics in the past and they were either satisfied with the experience or not. As you can witness below, we answer to all clients and we welcome all reviews, whether good or not positive, to improve our services.
Dee is one of our lovely therapists in our Manchester clinic and, as you can see from the client reviews, she does an outstanding job. If you would like to visit our Manchester clinic in the future to get a treatment by Dee, please feel free to contact our customer care at customercare@vgmedispa.com and we will be more than glad to book you in for an appointment in the North.
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards

I am so shocked by how I have been treated by these chapeskates. I was stupid to be fooled by how cheap it is not cheap if you get no service... it is day light robbery. Rude and nor signed up to any regulators im kind of glad I didn't get a treatment just want my money back now! Also very concerned at all the fraudulent reviews as ive been unable to write one on their website or facebook so clearly they are lying by pushing the good ones- is this not illegal? Groupon should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this company who are the macdonalds (or worse) of the beauty world on their site.
So happy with the treatment! I've had 4 sessions so far with Rosie and I've had amazing results! It's deff worth the pain lol. I was introduced because my mum bought me a groupon voucher for my birthday for 1/2 legs and after my consultation I then paid extra for full body. Even though I'm quite exposed during the treatment, Rosie made me feel very comfortable and not self conscious at all. It's been great chatting to her and getting to know her as well, which is a bonus! My under arm and bikini line hardly grow back at all now and I don't get any ingrown hairs or cysts anymore!
Thank you for taking the time to review our clinics, we are delighted you are happy with the results of your treatment. We will share your feedback with the team and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Many Thanks VGMEDISPA
Vicky was super informative and the appointment was quick and easy for the ICE hair removal even though I was 5mins late for my appointment. Obviously can't see results yet but already booked for next session. These reviews have names in them because they gave us cards with the technicians name on it to write a review if we wanted.
Thanks for taking the time to post a review, we will share your feedback with Vicky and look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Many Thanks

I don't usually write reviews... However as people are generally compelled to write negative reviews only, I would like to express my positive experience (and I probably represent 99% of most clients). I have been a client for 4 years of the London branch. I receive the top named brands (Botox/Juvederm and alma laser treatment) the prices are incredibly low, the customer service has improved and I have seen this small start up company grow into their own smart new premises in Fitzrovia. Well done and look forward to my next visit!
Thank you for your review and for your continued custom, we are pleased you have enjoyed your experience with VGMEDISPA and look forward to welcoming you again soon,

Disgraceful company, after 6 sessions of laser and over £800 wasted I have NO change and the same hair as when started the treatment, long time ago as they cancelled appointments so many times. The therapist where always different and every single time had to tell them where i was getting the laser done. Requested to see in what settings the laser was and was refused to show. Didnt feel anything during the laser like the machine was hardly working. They ignored my complains and i doubt their "head office" exists, they don't even have a phone number and letters no answered. Dont believe what they say in here, vgmedispa is made to scam people. Their procedures are cheap and horribly done, staff are rude and unefficient. Taking my issue to court after being advised by Consumer rights
We are sorry you feel unhappy with the treatment results, if you would like to discuss this directly and arrange for a consultation please get in touch with our customer care team with your full detail customercare@vgmedispa.com
Please remember there are two sides to every story, we can’t always comment on each individual case on public forums, as we pride ourselves on our professionalism and confidentiality. All of our clinics use Alma Laser Soprono Ice machines which provide the best results in laser hair removal, each client is different and our trained therapists will advise on the recommended treatment plan. We admit that we can’t please all of our clients every time, but we do our upmost to make sure we do. We take all of our client feedback seriously and review all of the comments made good and bad to improve our services.
Many Thanks

I absolutely love the London branch. The girls are so great and full of personality and character and always make me giggle even in embarrassing situations such as lasering my personal areas! Nothing bad to say... might try my lips next though!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are pleased that you are happy with the treatment and our team. We look forward to welcoming you again soon
Many Thanks

I was very nervous about coming to vgmedispa due to the reviews posted here however I must say I have had a wonderful experience. Perhaps I have been a lucky one I don't know but i cannot fault this company they have done everything I needed them to. No they do not refund but if you read the documents you are sent and referred to you will know that from the start. See you soon.
Thank you for your review and we are pleased that you have enjoyed your experience with VGMEDISPA, unfortunately we do have a few people that are worried due to the reviews but hopefully your comments will help put people at ease. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Thanks

This manager would not admit to a mistake she made, which was about to make me lose a deposit I had paid. Had Tania from the booking office not called me and completely changed my mind about this company in a positive way, i would be telling people to avoid VG Medispa completely. But thanks to Tania who treated me like a customer, as opposed to a worthless nobody, my faith in this company was restored and I'm carrying on with treatments in a different branch. Never go to the Richmond branch, its manager Paula has no managerial skills let alone any knowledge of customer service. She will not listen to you nor understand your complaints. She repeats a few lines she was taught to say and can't resolve an issue. She should be sacked and glad to see others have complained about her.
I had 2 appointments cancelled and third time lucky I attended the Poole branch yesterday(I paid for my treatment in May!) and after filling out a medical questionnaire was told that be because I had ticked that I had had cancer 5 years ago I would not be able to have my treatment(a glycolic facial peel) I had left work early to attend this appointment. Why did they not ask for these details beforehand. I also found the receptionist unfriendly, didn't seem To care if she was there or not. I expect my money back if not shall seek legal advice. So be warned
I book 6 sessions laser hair removal in Richmond with Sobhna. I had three already and I can clearly see the results. Sobhna is really nice and chatty, she makes you feel comfortable during the sessions for sure!
I was a bit skeptical about going to VGMedispa after reading reviews but I honestly don't understand it as I never had any bad experience in there.
Highly recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to review our clinics, we are delighted you are happy with the results of your treatment. We will share your feedback with the team and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Many Thanks VGMEDISPA
I have had two sessions with therapist Jolanta at VGMedispa in Fitzrovia, London, and so far I've had a very positive experience. The location is central, easy to get to, and the reception and the therapy rooms look very professional. I had booked hair removal for bikini area and underarms, and Jolanta made me feel very comfortable by explaining every step of the process, and constantly checking if I felt any pain or discomfort throughout the whole process. I've only had two sessions so far and I'm really pleased with the results. Despite having shaved my arm pits most of my life, the hair growth slowed right down already after the first session. I am looking forward to seeing the result after all 6 sessions that I have paid for so far.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we are delighted you have enjoyed your experience in one of our clinics and look forward to seeing you for the rest of your course,
Many thanks

They use nothing short of bullying tactics to make you feel you have to purchase additional products and the service is absolutely appalling, untrained staff giving advice on medical procedures. Want to complain about the service, don't bother, they won't respond to you and when they eventually do they provide you with an address to write to to formally lodge a complaint. I wote to the head office 3 weeks ago, still no reply. This company should be forcefully shut down for unfair practice. DO NOT VISIT this company!
I have been attednding VGMedispa over the last 6 months for treatments and recently have had a new therapist at the Manchester clinic called Dee. She is truly wonderful. Puts you at ease, gauges your response to the laser treatment and adjusts the settings accordingly. Very warm, friendly therapist.
The reception staff are always lovely - greet you with a smile, accomodate your schedule as able.
So far, so good!
Dear Vivian, thank you so much for taking time to review our Manchester clinic and you enjoyed Dee's service. We will share the feedback with the full team and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon. Stay beautiful!:)
Kind Regards
VG MediSpa
Very professional staff, always willing to find solutions to help with your treatment. I'm particular I have always found Dee very warm and friendly, always seems to know all her clients names when they come in to the building (without looking at her list)
Dear Lianne B, Thank you for taking the time to review our clinics, we are delighted you are happy with the results of your treatment. We will share your feedback with the team and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Many Thanks VGMEDISPA
All the staff at the Manchester salon are amazing - friendly, efficient and I'm never kept waiting. They are always quick and great at what they do. Dee (Therapist) and Aisha (Reception) are absolutely delightful. I've been going to this salon for a couple of years having various treatments and always found them to be lovely.
Dear Leah,

We look forward to seeing you again soon in our clinics. Stay beautiful!:)
