| - This review is for the 'one hour facial with microdermabrasion' treatment only.
I bought a $59 groupon and so, for this price, I got a very nice facial.
The thing is that the value was supposedly $229, so I must write accordingly.
I've had $60 facials before and this one was fine in comparison, not the best though; a lovely beautician with a gentle touch, comfortable bed, all that was very nice indeed. If what you're after is a nice facial, go ahead, enjoy; this is exactly what you'll get.
As for me, I expected a microdermabrasion to be a part of the treatment, silly me, just because it says so in the title doesn't mean you're going to actually get one, now does it?
The beautician explained that their kind of microdermabrasion is different. I'm not sure I can say much about that statement, since I don't think I got a microdermabrasion there.
I had gotten one a few years before and it felt very different and had fantastic results, that I can say.
My skin felt okay after the facial, not great, not especially soft or anything special.
I was told by the beautician that, as a result of the treatment, I would see more change over the next weeks.
Nah, 6 weeks later and nothing has changed.
I would give the beautician 4 stars, she was good; a 5 star beautician wouldn't promise I would see any other results than what I saw at the moment. I guess she had to present it that way to be able to keep her job.
The owner of the place, John, answers the phones and will readily tell you how outstanding the treatment is, he is 49 years old, he says, and having had the treatment for a while, he looks so much younger.
If it's true, I wouldn't know, since he was nowhere to be found; he answeres the phones at a different location.
The music was destructing and the cheap, amateurish interior design was not helping, but was telling something about the place; it's pretentious, trying too hard, maybe trying to prove that the treatment really is worth $229.
Something's fishy there, but then again, if you have a groupon, it's fine, you'll get a nice facial; just ask to turn the music off.
