Memorial Day weekend is almost here, but you don't have to wait until the federal holiday kicks off on May 26 to save big. Currently, you can save on everything from skincare products to Hoka sneakers. Our team of editors are keeping a keen on the best Memorial Day deals so be sure to bookmark our sales hub, and check back frequently for the latest and greatest discounts
As our deals-obsessed beauty editor I'm most excited about these early Memorial Day sales on laser hair removal devices. Sure, shaving is cheap, but it requires almost-daily upkeep, while waxing is as painful as the 40 Year Old Virgin asserts. So here's the deal: Big ticket beauty tools, including laser hair removal devices rarely go on sale, so I plan on finally treating myself to one and saving on a second device for my mom's birthday gift this year. (Why yes, I am her favorite daughter. How'd you know?)
So why should you even trust me? I’ve been covering the beauty industry for national publications since July 2016, and I’ve actively covered noteworthy sales and deals since June 2020. Plus, Im constantly searching the Web for impressive sales, and spend an embarrassing amount of hours price-checking daily deals for their worthiness. Because let's be honest: If I'm not willing to use my credit card to purchase a product, why would I encourage you to do the same?
Beyond a deals validity, I also ensured its specs are aligned with dermatological guidance. Our experts recently told me that we should consider the IPL technology, surface areas we want to remove hair, and the number of flashes each device emits. The pros say most contain 200,000 which lasts around 15 years. So while the upfront cost is a one-time splurge, the cost per use of these reputable devices are mere pennies.
Ahead is a sneak peak at my online shopping cart, along with some of our team's all-time favorite laser hair removal devices.
If you're still keen on using a Braun device, but want to save even more reach for the IPL Silk·Expert Pro 5. After shaving with the included Venus razor, pat your skin dry, then use the precision head for your face and bikini area or the treatment head for the rest of your body. It has three modes, including a low-level setting that's extra gentle on sensitive skin. This laser hair removal device is also great for those who have busy schedules because you only need a single weekly sesh for 12 weeks, then maintenance sessions as needed.
Prefer to save and use your disposable income on other sweet spring beauty deals, like red light therapy tools and LED face masks? I got you! This top-rated Amazon pick is at it's lowest price in 30 days and VivaEase boasts some sweet features.
Over its lifetime, this device will emit nearly one million flashes, meaning it will last you several years even if you use it daily. Though you really only need it no more than thrice weekly. Start with 2 or 3 weekly sessions the first month, then up to 2 sessions during weeks 5-8 before continuing as needed for maintenance. This affordable find dips down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, which is less than the pricier Unlike. A cool temperature helps prevent irritation and burning sensations.

Although this is the priciest recommendation, it's certainly well-worth the investment. "I have super coarse hair that typically requires a shave every time I shower, and the fact that I didn't have to shave my armpits for weeks after my first session is saying a lot," says WH associate style commerce editor Lily Wohlner. Her unwanted body hair has grown back significantly glower since using this device.
The Bluetooth-enabled device has a corresponding smartphone app that automatically IDs your skin tone, hair compatibility, and how much coverage you need for a hair-free body. The app also provides tutorials on how to correctly use the device.
Not only is this pretty rose pink laser hair removal device the best looking device on sale, but it's also functional. Boasting a comfy ergonomic design, this compact laser is practical for removing facial hair, underarms, and bikini line. You'll notice initial results in just four uses, with fully hair-free face and body by your 12th treatment. Plus, given its compact size, you can easily touch up your skin during weekend getaways this summer.

Ulike Air is genius because of its unique cooling sensation that drops the temperature to 65 degrees Fahrenheit to help prevent irritation and burns. It’s equipped with three intensity levels—soft, body, and power modes— and a built-in auto-glide safety method that only flashes when the device is pressed against your skin. It also comes with stylish protective glasses.
