| - My husband bought me a membership at Dolce for Christmas, and about a month ago I finally began putting it to use. Despite my best efforts to fight off acne, I gave in to the fact that I would need to seek professional help and get a facial. Boy, am I glad I did.
I made my appointment for a "lounge" day to save a few bucks. I arrived 10 minutes early since I was new to that location, and was greeted by a very friendly associate. I was taken back to the quiet room to complete some paperwork, and Kari, my esthetician, came back to greet me right on time. I told her my skin concerns, and she assessed the problem areas. The facial itself was super relaxing, minus the extraction part. That certainly isn't Kari's fault, she was just ridding my pores of the pent up dirt and bacteria. The scalp massage she gave me had me so relaxed that I could tolerate the extractions no problem. The part I was most pleased with was her recommendation of which products I should use at home. I bought all of her product suggestions (I receive 35% off retail as a member), and booked my next appointment with her for a month later.
I have been using the PCA products she recommended every day, twice a day. I also bought a Clarisonic with an Ulta gift card I've been holding on to. Although my skin isn't 100% better, I can see big improvements (fewer blemishes, less congestion, more well-balanced skin), and my skin FEELS better.
Yesterday I had my second facial with Kari, and she was happy to also see marked improvement in my complexion. The extraction process wasn't as uncomfortable this time either. Because Dolce was running a Facebook special that day, I could receive 40% off products. When Kari learned that, she suggested I pick up an acne fighting product that also contains retinol. Although it is usually quite pricey, I got it for a decent price. And let me add, that her suggestions are truly just that, suggestions - she's not pushy or insisting that I need to have something. Because what she suggested has worked, I was glad to accept this additional recommendation.
Today my skin is glowing following last night's facial, and co-workers have even commented on it. I am really excited to see how these products and facials continue to improvement my skin. I would definitely recommend that you meet with Kari if you have problem skin. She has really helped me, and seems truly passionate about her profession.
The only thing I dislike about Dolce is that sometimes they are running so many discounts that I get a bit confused with what price I should actually pay (ex:I'm a member and it's a lounge day, but Facebook could have a cheaper deal as well.) It's really not a huge issue, but I wish the discounts were more stream-lined and less confusing for me and the front desk staff.
