    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.

Dr. Gordon helped me to find the right medication to heal the eczema. Thankfully, it is working! I have taken it for almost two months now and my skin is great!

    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.

They also have a cute little section of gifts from lotions and potions to any other kind of little stocking stuffer or last minute birthday gift. The owner must have a passion for hats because they also have a cute section of fun hats. They've always been nice in there and I am just a huge fan of the ability to book online. Easy parking as well, which makes it another draw. If there is drama to park...I am not going! LOL

I'll never go anywhere else for this awesome service!

I was a regular client of Olivia's. When she moved on, my appointment was abruptly canceled with little consideration for the inconvenience to me. When I was rescheduled, I was asked to come in at an earlier time that I had already explained I couldn't accommodate. And, just today, they asked me again to come in earlier at a time I can't accommodate. More recently, I booked a skincare consultation with Salma, hoping to receive a personalized treatment plan for dry, dull skin. Instead, the esthetician barely examined my skin before returning with an armful of expensive products. I was only able to sample one of them, and there was virtually no discussion of treatment options or facial services that might address my concerns. The entire appointment felt more like a sales pitch than a professional skincare consultation. As a longtime client, I expected thoughtful recommendations and a customized plan, not pressure to buy products and a poor attitude from someone one who is supposedly a licensed esthetician. I left feeling like my time wasn't valued and that customer care has taken a back seat to retail sales. Also, when I speak to someone at the front desk, I don't think it's too much to ask that they are professional with me but that wasn't the case today with Holly. Sadly, I can no longer recommend SkinEnvy based on the poor business acumen and unprofessionalism of the current staff.
