Incredible Support & Amazing Results
Investing in a laser was such a difficult decision, but I can honestly say choosing The Smart Group was the best decision I could have made. I launched Liv’s Laser Lounge as a brand-new business with no existing clients, so I was really nervous about making such a big investment without knowing how successful it would be. But from the moment I purchased their diode laser, I couldn’t have been more impressed. The whole experience has been amazing.
Dana has been incredible, so helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. The package that comes with the purchase, along with their ongoing support, is second to none and has given me so much confidence moving forward.
The machine itself is amazing, easy to use, easy to clean, and the results are insane. I honestly couldn’t be happier with everything, and I’m so glad I chose them!

Highly recommend
Investing in the Smart Diode has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my clinic. The device itself is exceptional, but what truly sets The Smart Group apart is their incredible ongoing support, even post sale. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Support that is second to none with SmartGroup!
I’ve had an absolutely excellent experience with SmartGroup. Their educational events, including training with AQ Skin Solutions and the Advanced Tixel workshops, have been highly professional and genuinely valuable. Product orders always arrive promptly in beautifully presented packaging and the ongoing support is outstanding. As an Aesthetic Clinic Owner, I can confidently recommend SmartGroup for both training, equipment and supplies.
Thank you to the whole team – it’s a pleasure working with such a reliable and supportive partner. I look forward to many more years of training, growth and collaboration with SmartGroup – if I could give more than five stars, I certainly would!

Total rip off
Total rip off. So many promises to sell a laser machine and promised by Tarek that it has buy back guarantee so if business didn't work he will take the machine back. But it was all lies. Finance sorted by them too and without informing the finiance company made me a personal guarantor. Now my home is at risk unless I pay them. I have no business. There are lots of laser hair removal salons and now the customer can buy from Boots. Please don't spoil your life if you have a small business. You also have to pay £800 for the service. It can not be done from anywhere. So my advice is don't work with these liers and save yourself from misery. I wish I could take them to court.

Hard selling then leave you to rot . Never mentioned the service of the machine 700 quid every year. Payme ts escalated from £600 to £657 per month. . avoid. Also the market is flooded with laser . Stick to your waxing clients. Much more money

Kind of ableist and money grabbers
I worked there part time while I was at uni. I first enjoyed it as I was lucky to have Naomi who was understanding and supportive. I had to leave without my notice due to medical reasons and being stuck in hospital. When I received my pay, they had taken over half of what I was owed because I left without much notice, which I could understand if I just upped and left, but because I was having seizures and stuck in hospital, I couldn’t make it to work. So now I am out of work, and of the £245 my pay would have been, I received £78.10. I am truly disgusted and horrified that they can justify taking that much money when I physically could not help my situation. Will never work there again and will never suggest it.

I’m so glad I chose SmartGroup and their cutting-edge laser machine for my new clinic—it was the best decision I could have made! From the start, Tarek was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me in selecting the perfect machine to fit my needs. His ongoing support and advice have been invaluable throughout this process.
SmartGroup’s support is truly unmatched, covering everything from purchase to training, marketing, and mentoring. They are simply the best in the industry. I’m excited to start using the machine on real clients soon and feel completely confident knowing their team is always just a call away if I need any assistance.
A huge thank you to Amy for the outstanding manufacturer training she provided! She was so friendly, professional, and thorough—answering all my questions and offering even more helpful insights.
If you’re considering buying from SmartGroup, don’t hesitate—they’re amazing!

Sold me a machine for 15k but sold my friend the same machine for 25k they make it up as they go along.
They’re liars and bad business men. Machines are rubbish. Said they didn’t need servicing when I bought it then suddenly said servicing is mandatory and £700 each time. Now they are demanding payments at the end of finance agreements otherwise they won’t hand over the ownership documents. They make selling machines 2nd hand awkward and difficult. They nearly ruined my business. Stay away from them.
