2 balled up strands of hair from two separate braids along my hairline

Imagine going to get a hydro facial treatment + micro dermabrasion for the first time because you've decided to start taking care of your skin but while you're getting a facial the esthetician uses the microdermabrasion tool too close to your hairline. As I am laying there i'm thinking "hmm she's mighty close to my hairline but surely she has more common sense than to be dragging that tool across my hair line and break my literal hair strands. (Keep in mind my hair was braided back so no hair was in the way or preventing her from executing her job.) Anywho, this thought about her probably breaking my strands stays in your head up until you take your braids down to check if she actually broke your hair and come to find out SHE DOES. I took my hair down today and the first two braids along my edge line has MULTIPLE strands of hair broken off. As someone who takes VERY great care of her hair and takes pride in healthy hair this is totally unacceptable. I AM EXTREMELY frustrated and will never recommend anyone to Savannah because of this experience. I am a Black Women who's very careful about the way my hair is treated and to go and get a new facial done just to leave with broken hair is just despicable. I honestly could go on and on about my frustration but what good is it going to do me? Other than driving myself into rage. I will never recommend anyone to Balm & Bubble/ Savannah. If you're reading this Savannah, you should be ashamed of yourself. Do better.

Clogged pores after facial.

My care was super thorough and covered all the bases. At some doctors in the past I have felt rushed & easily dismissed but this was not the case at all here. They really took their time with me and went above & beyond to address all of my concerns. Everything at this office runs smooth and efficiently and I didn't feel like I was pressured to buy anything, which I appreciated. If anything, I was given tips on how to save money on products and prescriptions I was interested in.

As an established patient, it is very difficult to get a medical appointment with Dr. Gordon. I…read moredon't do cosmetic appointments, so maybe the wait time is shorter for those, but for medical, it is like a year wait. When did this become such an issue? When did patients needing medical care become unimportant; why are we dehumanizing needs of patients? Somehow going to the doctor has become a profit driven 15-minute visit scheduling problem. It's a moral one. It reflects a system that values documentation over dialogue, billing over bonding, and efficiency over empathy. It's the quiet erosion of what medicine used to be: a conversation between people who trusted each other. If we want to restore that trust, we have to reclaim time, not from patients but for them. We have to re-humanize care by giving space to the parts that don't fit in a drop-down menu. Sense of impatience, the hurry, and the sense that the doctor is listening but not hearing. Being told "We'll have to schedule another visit." "I'll only bring up one issue today." Nobody cares anymore about the patient. Did you go to medical school to help people or to help the broken system? Because when we finally stop pretending that 15 minutes is enough, we might rediscover what those minutes were supposed to mean.

Easy to book appointments, she follows up enough frequently that I feel like I'm taken care of. Office is spacious, nice, comfortable and clean. The staff there are all friendly and nice. She only makes needed recommendations on service. Reasonable prices. Angie knows what she is doing and I feel comfortable trusting her with my injection needs. Parking is good! Easy to find location! Easy to contact! Very informative and answered all my questions and concerns. She explained each process and what services I will be getting. Offer a huge variety of services. Quality products. Botox, filler, skin treatment and more. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good long term place with a trust worthy team. Definitely making this spot my go to from now on.

I had the absolute worst experience with Nurse Janelle and the staff at Rejuvenate Austin. I…read morerecently moved to Austin and was looking for a new injector, so I was extremely disappointed with my experience. Nurse Janelle injected my Botox, and I was left with severe bruising from Botox alone (no filler) and in my crows feet area. The bruising was so bad that people were constantly asking me for the following two weeks if someone had punched me in the face. After calling the clinic multiple times to complain and voice my concerns, I eventually received a phone call from the owner, Dr. Jessica Wright. During our conversation, Dr. Wright told me that this level of bruising was normal for them and that it happens to Botox patients 2-3 times per quarter at Rejuvenate Austin. I have been getting Botox for over five years and have never experienced bruising this severe. I found the entire experience extremely disappointing, particularly the way my concerns were handled afterward. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a new injector. I will not be returning, and I hope the photos I have attached help others make an informed decision before booking an appointment.

The same thing happened the second time. The third time, I was given an iPad to fill out a form. I have a disability that makes it very difficult for me to type on an iPad or phone, so I asked for help with the form. The manager complained (in a very confrontational manner) that I did not fill out the form myself. I have never been treated that badly before or since. That manager is the only service person who has ever complained about my need for disability accommodations. When I suggested that all forms be sent to clients before the first visit, so problems could be noted and solved before clients had to drive to the studio, he became quite defensive. He showed no empathy. I have never been treated so badly by any service provider. I find it ironic that a manager at a school that teaches people to perform a service career would be so callous. My advice is that you consider driving up north to Austin's other laser school, where service is impeccable.
