Inspiration behind RealSelf.com

150,000 reviews talking about hotel towels, none about laser treatments

RealSelf.com was founded by Tom Seery in 2006 after his friend pointed out that it was far easier to get informed about hotel towels than a $2,000 laser skin treatment.  Our team is passionate about closing this information gap by creating an authentic forum to share opinions and experiences, much in the way consumer review sites have done so for travelers, movie goers, and book buyers.
