I just want to thank Zahra & Anna at Recovery for making my experience an extraordinary one. They both went above and beyond in making sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. Their knowledge and open-mindedness left me feeling well informed in my aftercare treatments and in my overall decision in choosing Recovery as my tattoo removal provider. Thank you both again!! 10/10 experience!

I recently had a consultation with Removery for tattoo removal, and I am thrilled with the exceptional service I received. The staff was quick in scheduling the consultation, and the specialist provided detailed and clear information about the process, expected outcomes, and pricing, which was fair and transparent. I felt well-informed and confident in proceeding with the tattoo removal after speaking with them. I highly recommend Removery for their quick responses, informative consultations, and fair pricing – they are definitely a top choice in the industry. I am excited to start my tattoo removal journey with Removery and am confident that I am in good hands. Five stars all the way!

WONDERFUL experience today at Removery! I was greeted kindly and we got straight to business. The consultation was transparent and very clear, I felt confident moving forward with the process and had a feeling I’d be in good hands.Do much so that we did my first session same day! Anna was the perfect person to do my first treatment, she was patient with me and let me take as many breaks as I needed. All while being super encouraging!After having an experience (during what was going to be my first session) at LaserAway that left me feeling like my skin tone and type would be an issue for this process, I cannot wait to come back to Removery.Thank you all so much!

This place is perfect. Clean, efficient, and the staff are kind and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated two things:1. My consult with Jacqueline who also runs sales/front desk was informative both because Jacqueline is kind and smart but also because she has experience as a removal tech! Game changer.2. The takeaway goodie bag after my first appointment was a great touch. Love that it contains after care instructions, and ice pack AND a couple sweet treats to enjoy after treatment.

If youre having any tattoo regret I 100% recommend this place! Everyone there is not only friendly but very knowledgeable about tattoo removals. They definitely know what they are doing! Also, it doesnt hurt as bad as you may think (in my honest opinion) and the sessions are very short regardless so all in all a very good experience and I will be back for more sessions. :)

I am new to tattoo removal and was very nervous about the appointment. Laura was my technician and completely made my experience better than I could’ve imagined. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, her personality won me over we laughed the whole time and I was educated about everything. She is the best! Ask for Laura!!!

My experience with Removery has been 10/10! When I originally went in for my free consultation, I was warmly greeted by Laura, who also took me through the removal process & pricing. I felt she was incredibly thorough & mapped everything out for me very clearly :) when it came time to make a decision, I did not feel pressured in any way. I decided to move forward with getting a full removal package & have been back a few times since - my experience continues to be excellent & I quite enjoy the atmosphere of this location! My technician especially does a great job & keeps me affirmed as we go! In terms of results, I have only gone in for treatment twice so far but I am seeing lightning in areas already. I am excited continue my removal journey

I purchased an unlimited package At this location in April 2023. I’ve had a great experience up until today. I had an appointment schedule for 2 PM, and because of circumstances out of my control (a big rig was blocking the street I was on), I walked in at 2:05 PM. Generally, I’m on time so I’ve never had an issue. But today, I was told that I would have to reschedule because I was late and “I take a long time.” Had I known those circumstances before hand, I would’ve came 10 minutes early. Not only is it terrible customer service to not have at least a five minute grace period, but if it is the case that I take a long time, you should let me know beforehand that I need to come early. After my next appointment at this location, I will be going to the Lincoln Square location.

Got my first session of tattoo removal today. I am AWFUL with pain, and I cannot express it enough of how painless that was for me. Of course certain areas on the body are gonna be more painful than others, but mine was extremely painless and I was absolutely shocked to say the least. I truly look forward to my upcoming sessions. Thanks, Laura 🤩

Jacqueline is great…..she’s very up front and direct about what you’re looking for.She even had one of her staff members come into my consultation to show me the same location that she has her tattoos and explained to me that it’s a process and that helped me to select the best package for me.She’s also funny.

Laura is seriously the best!! I’m the question queen and she not only answers my questions with grace, but also answers my questions before I even have to ask! She’s so knowledgeable, kind and professional!! Someone give Laura a raise and a promotion because she deserves it! I’ve been to three different Removery locations, and continue to commute to one that’s further away so I can work with her. Thank you so much Laura!!

I HIGHLY recommend Tattoo Removery for anyone looking to get tattoo removal. The front desk staff is always friendly and welcoming and the laser techs are professional, consistent and make me feel so comfortable at each appt. Clean facilities, essentially zero wait time, and the prices beat any other laser clinics in the neighborhood (they also have payments plans). I have absolutely no complaints!At the consultation, they’re very open and honest about expectations and pricing. There’s absolutely no judgement and you can tell that they care about the outcome more than taking clients’ money. Will update my review once my sessions are complete.

Amazing experience at Removery. Jacqueline who did my consult was very thorough and kind! Laura who did my laser was so comforting and patient. I was really nervous but quickly learned there is nothing to worry about. I was in and out in less than 10 min for 3 small tattoos and the pain level was very manageable. I’m so excited to have found this clinic! Also, the price package is the best in the city. Thank you so much ㅤᵕ̈

Went in for my first session + consult with Ana and was initially terrified - she laughed with me and calmed me down immensely and before I knew it treatment was over.

Its taken me a long time to do this review but I had to do it because I had to show you the results.I went there about 2 years ago when they had a New Years promo. After that I ended up purchasing the bundle of 6 sessions and I could not be happier with the results (as you can see on the before and after). Alex was super good and answered all my questions. Once my bundle was over Ive consider doing more sessions but I found I was pregnant and right after I had my baby we moved states but Im still happy with the results :)

Review №43

I’ve had a great experience at Removery so far with 4 sessions on 2 big tattoos. I’m getting them completely removed. Cody has been my tech and he’s great, makes sure I’m comfortable and that all my questions are answered. I’ve had very kind interactions with every staff member here. The process is pretty painful but it’s over quick, and I’m so excited to be getting rid of tattoos that have bothered me and bummed me out for years. I was also pleasantly surprised at how affordable (relatively speaking!) it is here. For 2 big tattoos, with a prepaid package of unlimited sessions (these will probably take 10-15 to remove completely), it was $3k. Not cheap, but I went in thinking it would be like $500 a session and that I wouldn’t be able to afford it. So overall I’m very happy with my experience at Removery, even if I am very unhappy during those couple minutes the laser is on me :)

This was the best experience I could have wished for! Ive been wanting to remove my tattoo for several years but kept putting it off. Im so glad I decided to go ahead and do it. Removerys staff and atmosphere are amazing! Monika made me feel so welcomed and at home...I feel like I made a new friend today! She made the process so seamless and comfortable. Please visit their location when youre ready to get rid of that old tattoo. You wont regret it!

Annan the Bucktown locations is literally the best part about getting my tattoo removed. I honestly wish I could cut the time down in between appointments just so I could come see her sooner! She makes the entire process painless and seamless. Only thing I would change about this entire thing, is had I known Anna would be as incredible as she is and the removal would be as no big deal as it is, I would have started removing my tattoo years ago!!

Review №49

This location was highly recommended to me by a previous client that had an excellent experience. His tattoo was successfully removed in very few sessions. I am so grateful that I went in and decided to follow through. They gave me a straight fee until it’s completely gone no matter how many sessions it takes and allowed me to divide the amount into monthly auto payments after giving a reasonable deposit. I love that I am already seeing results. Yes it’s a slow process due to the healing time in between treatments but it’s worth it. The staff is awesome!!! They are always in a good mood, courteous and accommodating in any way they can. I also appreciate their appointment reminders via text since the appointments are several weeks apart and if your anything like me your busy and forgetful which is a terrible combo. Just do it! You won’t regret it!PS Did you know you could schedule appointments for other Removery locations if your traveling during the time of your next treatment so you don’t have to miss it!?

I have been coming here for over a year now. I’ve had 9 sessions of tattoo removal. Cody has been my tech for 7 out of 9 sessions. He is super friendly and professional. He makes this not so pleasant experience a positive one and always tries to ensure I’m as comfortable as can be. We’ve made some great progress on this tattoo removal process and I cannot wait until they are completely gone.

Review №57

I have been to this location four times now and my experience has been phenomenal every single time.I bought a package of 3 sessions earlier this year, only my tattoo did not fade to the extent that I thought it would (though I have seen meaningful improvement). Additionally, I had already had previous sessions at a different Removery location prior to starting my 3 package at this location. Before getting my fourth session at this location, I explained to Sabrine that I was interested in full removal, and given that I had already had many sessions with them, they were kind enough to work on pricing with me for the complete removal package.Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and uses the best tech thats available for tattoo removal (at least thats what I concluded from the research that I conducted). I would highly recommend if you are interested in having a tattoo faded or completely removed.

Review №61

I am on my 5th session and Monika is the absolute BEST!! I am getting 2(ish) tattoos removed, and I am seeing improvements during and after each session and Monika takes her time, assess the tattoos after the last session and uses her best judgement with the lasers that are available to get the best results. She is very knowledgeable, personable and is always available to answer any questions. I was actually at another location with Removery (and they were great too!!) but I switched over to the Bucktown location when Monika moved over, that is how much I appreciate her help and talent. She was also the one that did my first removal session and consultation and honestly could not have asked for a better experience, especially with something as nerve wracking as laser removal. She is seriously an expert in what she does and I truly appreciate her guidance with the removal process.

This has been one of the best experiences I’ve had at a tattoo removal place. I went in very nervous and scared and left looking forward to coming back. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start my treatments at. The whole crew but specially Sabrine at the Damen location was extremely kind comforting. I look forward to continue my treatments and will continue informing my clients about Removery.

I accidentally went to the wrong location and they accommodated me regardless. Moni (spelling?) was very personable and informative at the same time. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything in detail. The technician Laura was very communicative for my first session and was just the coolest. This doesnt have anything to do with the procedure but her makeup was stunning. I hope I get her again for my next session, she was informative and professional!

I can’t say enough about how positive my experience at recovery was. Sabrina greeted me at the door, made me feel at home and took me through each step of financing-literally reading the terms to me-which was ultimately what helped me make a decision. I went in on Black Friday when they had a 25% discount and qualified for the financing, all interest payments will be credited back to me, and have unlimited treatments available now which is sure to remove my mistake. This place is A-1 terrific and I can not recommend enough!!

Review №76

I’m in the process of removing old microblading which is a long, arduous process that’s not at all easy. But bc it’s my face, I’ve been very deliberate with what I choose to move forward with and what I don’t. Removery was a recommendation from my permanent make up artist and at first I was skeptical as lasers on black skin can be damaging, but I have been pleasantly surprised. So far, the results are great and after one session a good amount of pigment has lifted.Not only is the service provided at Removery great, but the staff is as well. For my last session, I worked with Lauren and she was amazing. Permanent makeup removal is painful - Lauren was sweet, patient (extremely), gentle and informative the entire time. She went out of her way to make me comfortable, going at my pace and giving me breaks when needed to ensure my experience was pleasant despite the pain involved. If you’re thinking about going to Removery and are worried about the pain of laser pigment removal, ask for Lauren - you won’t be disappointed.

Everyone I have worked with is amazing! Sabrina always remembers me by name and she is such a friendly face to be greeted by. My results (I’m only 3 sessions in) have been better than I could have expected. Yes, it’s painful, but SO worth it! Couldn’t recommend more :)

I give the Lady who’ve done my consultation a 5 star ! (sorry I forgot your name) But far as the Tech I wish I could give them zero stars !! Cheat you out your money !

They stay booked I rather wait to go back to insight !

Amazing staff and incredible results. I’ve been going for the last year and a half and I’ve seen so much progress. love the good energy of the staff s/o Cody!✨🦋 & my other fave Diana (no longer works here) who are very personable and make the process feel way less intolerable. their team made sure to explain the pricing and why it’s very reasonable from the beginning. they go above and beyond re the quality of client services bc when it comes to the emotional support their staff naturally exude during sessions, it really goes a long way. this process can be very delicate both physically and financially (especially in the beginning). so grateful I started coming here after trying to find a place to start the journey of feeling more comfortable in my skin again. 🥹🫶🏽

Was good when it used to be Vamoose. Now it’s more expensive and not as effective; they claim Vamoose was under-charging and using less effective lasers but how is that possible when they were more effective in treating me with less cost??

If you don’t think tattoo removal will change your life for the better you’re wrong. I was told, because I didn’t get a tattoo. I was a wuss. They were wrong, just the facts. Every tattooist there has ever been, has had at least one tattoo removal. Just the facts, most people that have more than two tattoos have had tattoo removal at least once also. Just the facts, If you need to improve your life. Tattoo removal helps more than anything. Change your life, tattoo removal.

Thank you removery for all your help. I got a good number of sessions so far (about seven) I have been getting a lot of really good feedback from people that knew me with the tattoo, they say I look better without it . Not having that ink on the outside makes me feel good on the inside. thank you again removery for making this service available to the people. Can’t wait to come back and have the ink completely removed. The office staff are very supportive and the treatment technicians are very compassionate.

I went in for my consultation and decided to start my first treatment the same day! Sabrine did my consultation and Monika performed the laser removal. Both were so profession and delightful to work with! They really put me at ease throughout the whole process and made my experience great! Thank you!!

Keywords:Great service and staffSuper painfulSuper quickSuper expensiveLengthy processAfter my initial consultation I was given the impression that it would take around 3 sessions to lighten a large/dark thigh piece, turns out it’s going to take 6-9 according to the technician I worked with at my 2nd apt. I honestly wouldn’t have started the process had I known I’d need to spend close to $5k to lighten this piece. I was willing to spend the money for 3 treatments, but now I feel roped into breaking my bank in order to continue this process, as my tattoo looks worse off now than before I started.All that being said, I was definitely ignorant to all that tattoo removal entails, and it is 100% my fault for not doing better research before diving in to this.The staff at Removery is awesome. They are all incredibly personable and helpful. And the clinic itself is in line (pricing wise) with most other credible tattoo removal studios who use state of the art equipment.

After my first visit I saw instant results. They were very helpful and nice. The professionalism was amazing and they make you feel like you’re at home, during your visit. I would recommend this company to anyone, especially African American clients because their products work on all types of skin and it doesn’t leave burns.

Very professional and always a pleasure. The place is clean and customer service is always superb. Monika is my tattoo removal expert. She makes sure you are comfortable in her chair. She also offers numbing cream for people that have a low pain tolerance. Be patient. Pain WILL ease up after it starts to fade out after each session.

I have been going to Removery formerly known as Vamoose for three years now. They are alway welcoming and fast. My tech is Monica she’s amazing! Highly recommend this place. Got one more session to go. Btw I take longer in between appointments due to my hectic schedule. Hence, it took me longer to get rid of my tattoo.

I looked around at a few places to fade a 6 year old, regrettable tattoo and found myself at Vamoose. My experience here has been fantastic! Im 5 treatments in and the results are definitely noticeable each time. The staff is super professional, personal, and wants to make sure you are satisfied with their service for every visit.My top reasons to go here:- Much more reasonably priced than what I found anywhere else in the city, considering my unwanted tattoo is fairly large, and Im a girl on a tight spending budget.- Tattoo removal is painful, BUT they want to make sure you can be as comfortable as possible. I was given complimentary numbing cream to put on my tattoo before every session. They also have a really awesome cooling machine to help the numbing process before the session starts.- Again, the staff is super helpful and punctual. Ive always had my appointments start right on time and my visits have never lasted more than 10-15 minutes.That being said, if you have some ink you arent a fan of anymore go straight to Vamoose Tattoo Removal. They know what theyre doing here.

Review №114

I did not have a good experience since the changeover from Vamoose. I tried calling, no one answered so I made an appointment online. Still, I was greeted with a Who are you? when I came in. Ive had several removal sessions before so I was surprised that my session that day was the first time I hardly felt the laser. Not surprisingly, I did not see much of a difference immediately after or weeks after the treatment. The tech did not know what he was doing and did not have the correct parameters. Money down the drain. I will not be going back and cannot recommend this location.

First time at this removery location and it was wonderful! Diana, the laser tech, could not have been sweeter and more accommodating. She went above and beyond for me to say the least.

I just had my first session with Monika to remove the background of a tattoo. The staff is very professional, the environment is comfortable and sterile, and the process was over quickly. It was painful but not more than getting the tattoo. If you can sit 3 hours for a tattoo, you can definitely handle 5-10 minutes of laser. I’ll be returning in 6-8 weeks.Thanks again!

I’ve been going to Removery since they were called Vamoose and it’s been the same high level service. Pricing is very reasonable and they offer payment plans. Monika is super nice and attentive.*If you’re worried about the pain get yourself some numbing cream it definitely reduces the pain.

Removery is modern, clean, cool and staffed with kind and informative professionals. While tattoo removal is painful, Removery Bucktown is equipped with the most up-to-date lasers so the number of treatments needed can be reduced. Ice packs and cold air blowers are used to make the process bearable. Cody is an amazing practitioner. He is understanding and patient with my low pain threshold and communicates clearly his expertise in the area of laser tattoo removal as well as his experience as an esthetician. Cody is a joy to visit and I have complete trust in his skills.

I have been wanting to remove this tattoo for years. Essentially since I first got it. The staff here was incredibly supportive and friendly.

Fellow esthetician here! I went in today for my first tattoo removal consult at the Bucktown location. Sabrine and Jessie were both so sweet and informative and made sure all my questions were answered. Super clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. I am so excited to start my tattoo removal journey with them and have the upmost confidence in them that they know exactly what they are doing! They also have the latest technology of Pico laser which essentially cuts the removal process in half! 10/5 stars.

Ive been seeing Diana for over a year to remove a tattoo on my forearm. Prior to removal, my tattoo had only been 2-3 months old. Although my tattoo was fresh and in full color (reds and greens), Im really surprised at how far the removal has come along - it has significantly faded. Diana is very kind, informative, and honest about the process. She always answers any questions or concerns that I may have, and she is always very careful during the actual tattoo removal session. The space is always clean and tidy, and I appreciate that the Vamoose team strictly follows CDC guidelines. If you are looking for accessible and affordable tattoo removal, then look no further.

I purchased a package deal with invisible ink and after a few treatments they changed over to Removery. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of purchasing something and when the business change they no longer honor the previous purchase. However, I did not have that experience at all with Removery. It was a seamless transition with the same inviting atmosphere. And a bonus they’re closer than before. I no longer have to drive 1.5hr for treatment it’s 20mins away.

I found Removery on google and through social media. After extensively researching their work and clientele experiences, I reached out and scheduled a free consultation through their website. The response was immediate. Rachel sent me a text message and was very kind, as well as helpful. She made it quick and easy at the time of scheduling. On that same day I went in for my consultation. Moni took care of me, she was the sweetest! She made sure I was comfortable and was very attentive. She carefully listened to all of my concerns and needs, she made sure all of my questions were answered. Moni perfectly explained the process of removal as well as what to expect from my treatment. She also explained the payment options that Removery offers. Removery is also teamed up with Ally Financial and offer payment plans for treatment as well. Moni was considerate and kind enough in helping me find what payment option would work the best for me. My overall experience met more that my expectations. I highly recommend Removery if you’re looking for a new beginning. Thank you for having me Moni and Removery! :)

What a pleasant first experience! Everyone was very nice explained every step in detail so there where no surprises. Extremely affordable I am having two tattoos removed at the same time. Lets talk about pain and what to expect; please keep in mind I have six total tattoos one branding. I have a high tolerance for pain. The first one on my breast was not so bad, the one on my back on my spine hurt the most I cried! But once I am free these horrible tattoos the pain will be a distant memory. I was moving at a slower pace as suggested but the next day I was back up and running. Kept the A+D Ointment on healed up nicely in three days. I can tell a difference in color on my breast but I have a long way to go there will be some scaring but I am ok with that. I am looking forward to my next visit. If you need a tattoo removed this is the company to help you do it.

I had Googled too much and went in to Vamoose thinking the tattoo removal process would be painful & scarring. Patti eased all of my concerns and actually got me excited about getting started. The whole first session only took 15 mins, it wasnt as painful as I thought it would be, they use this cooling spray while its being done even after it was done it just felt like a sunburn.Vamoose has some incredibly customer service too, the email and text reminders for my app was nice but I was really surprised when Patti even called the next day to check on my healing. The cost was not as expensive as I had thought either. 3 removal sittings would be the same as the 1 sitting to get the tattoo, so thats worth it my book. The whole process has been way easier than I could of ever imagined AND I already see results after only 1 session. I cant wait to go back!
