Inclusive Laser Hair Removal in Brooklyn
What is Laser?
Laser is an invisible pulse of hot light that - depending on wavelength - targets the melanin of your hair at the surface or deep inside your dermis. At Uncle Nat's, we think laser should feel like the gentle pain of a headache at a party. More pain means higher risk of injury. As Uncle Nat always says..."You can't kill a hair deader!"
How It Works
We use the Candela Gentlemax Pro to zap hairs at the root and traumatize those follicles. Humans grow approximately six generations of hair, meaning we’ll need to repeat the process to eliminate each generation. The necessary amount of treatments and the frequency of them will look different for every client, which is why we don’t offer pre-packaged laser bundles. At your first session we will assess your hair and come up with a removal plan that works for you. Once you have completed your full course of laser, you may need to come in for a maintenance session about once a year to prevent regrowth. Book a "Chat with Nat" if you have more questions.

Try Lasering if you...
Struggle with ingrowns, HS, KP or skin immunity Issues exacerbated by hair
Laser eliminates ingrown hairs and is an effective treatment for skin immunity issues exacerbated by hair like hidradenitis suppurativa, keratosis pilaris, and folliculitis
Don't want to or can't shave
Unlike many salons, we offer a pre-shave add-on to prep your skin before your laser service. We realize even able bodied people with no mobility issues have a hard time shaving their own butthole, am I right?
Want a more permanent solution
Lasering is great if you need permanent hair curation for gender affirmation. If you are unsure what you want your long-term style to be, you may want to play around with sugaring first!
Want to keep some hair, but refine hair thickness
Many of our clients laser once or twice a year to stave off ingrown hairs or to thin out densely packed hairs. You don't have to go full dolphin. We can also pair sugaring with laser for an even more unique process to fit your needs!
Do you have tattoos?
Laser can damage skin with tattoos! If you are tattooed in an area you would like to remove hair from check out our sugaring page for some tattoo-safe options.

Add the laser pre-care led treatment to your appointment to prevent reactions and help the body recover faster.
If you are unable to shave before your appointment, you must also book a pre-shave service. If you show up to your appointment unshaved without having booked a pre-shave, we will need to modify your services to take time to properly shave and prep your skin. You will be charged the full price of all services booked regardless.
Shave the date before
If you are able, shave in a hot steamy shower the day before you come in. We encourage you to find a way to do this at home either by yourself or with assistance to mitigate shaving irritations before your treatment.
Plan your time. Mark your appointment on your calendar.
In order to meet our mission we have to be strict with our cancellation and lateness policies. We strongly encourage our clients to block out an extra 30-60 minutes longer than the scheduled appointment to account for any extra care time we need to take with either you or a client ahead of you. Parking in this neighborhood can be tricky, which is why we offer reduced and validated parking for Uncle Nat’s clients only at a conveniently located garage.
Avoid sun damage!
Getting a tan or having elongated sun exposure up to two weeks before or after your treatment can lead to discoloration and permanent damage. Be extra diligent with your sunscreen leading up to the appointment and try to keep the areas you are lasering covered when outside.
