If you didn’t get a jumpstart on laser hair removal in May or June, don’t worry—there’s still time. Whether you’re planning a final beach trip, gearing up for late-summer weddings, or just tired of dealing with shaving in the heat, July is a perfect window to begin your hair-free journey.
While laser hair removal works best when started early, many clients begin in midsummer and still enjoy noticeable results within weeks. Starting now sets you up for greater comfort in August, and even better—your fall routine will be smoother, too.
Why July Is Still a Great Time to Start
You might be thinking, “Isn’t it too late to bother with laser?” The answer is a confident no. Here’s why:
- You’ll see progress by end-of-summer: Most clients notice patchy, reduced regrowth after just 2–3 sessions.
- Prep for future seasons: What you start now pays off for vacations, events, and next summer.
- It gets easier with time: Laser sessions become shorter and less frequent as hair weakens and disappears.
Most importantly, you’ll save yourself from the daily grind of shaving, razor burn, and that awkward mid-wax regrowth. Sound familiar? Starting now means less of that—this season and beyond.
“I Started in July and Never Looked Back”
Take it from Sarah M., a Gresham client who started her treatment journey last July:
“I kept putting it off thinking I missed my chance. But even after a few sessions, I felt way more confident hitting the lake in August. By fall, I barely had to touch my razor. I wish I’d started even sooner.”
Real stories like Sarah’s show that starting laser doesn’t need to align with a perfect schedule—what matters is starting at all.
What to Expect from Your First Treatments
Laser hair removal isn’t a one-and-done process—it’s a series that targets hair during its active growth stage. That’s why timing is important, but not restrictive. Starting in July sets you up for visible progress by August and September.
Here’s what a typical treatment schedule looks like:
- Session 1: Skin is cleansed and prepped, laser targets active hair follicles.
- Session 2 (Week 4–6): You’ll notice patchier, slower regrowth.
- Session 3 (Week 8–10): Even finer hair, with bare spots appearing.
By session 3, you’re often already shaving less—or not at all. If you book now, you’ll likely complete three sessions before September.

Skin Care Benefits You Didn’t Expect
Most clients come for the hair removal—but stay for the glow.
Laser treatments don’t just eliminate hair—they also improve:
- Skin tone and texture
- Pore size and visibility
- Reduced irritation from ingrowns and shaving rash
You’ll walk away with skin that feels smoother, looks clearer, and requires way less maintenance. That’s why laser isn’t just about summer; it’s about skin health all year long.
Why Waiting Longer Costs More in the Long Run
Waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams might seem cheaper now—but add up fast:
- Shaving: ~$15/month in razors and cream = $180/year
- Waxing: ~$70/month = $840/year
- Laser (underarms & bikini package): ~$1,200 for near-permanent results
Laser is an investment up front, but it pays off in freedom, convenience, and long-term savings. You won’t need to schedule touch-up appointments every few weeks or worry about missed spots before a last-minute invite to the river.
Take the First Step Before Summer Ends
There’s no wrong time to start your journey to smoother skin—but July is one of the most rewarding months to take action. You’ll feel results just in time for the tail end of summer and be ahead of the curve come fall.
We’ll build a treatment schedule that fits your calendar, answer all your questions, and get you on track to long-term confidence.
