It is permissible to open a laser hair removal center, provided that female employees are not allowed to expose intimate parts (awrah). It is not permissible to expose one's awrah to others for hair removal except when one is unable to remove it oneself or with the help of one's spouse. If an employee violates this without the knowledge of the center's owner, the sin is hers. However, the wages received for prohibited work are considered ill-gotten gains.
