I have stood by the company through the obvious struggles it has gone through. I want to start off by saying - I would love to stop coming to this establishment but my tattoo is sadly still not gone after 6 years. (A small to medium sized tattoo on my upper back)
I've written 5 star reviews for Christina at this location. She was sweet and effective. I also want to start off by saying my tattoo is stubborn but every time I arrive it's a guessing game on how they are going to treat and what settings they are going to try.
I had a terrible experience with Ashley today. Let me start off by saying I was one of four people in the waiting room with no one at the front desk. The establishment smelled like WEED. I assumed it was probably a client that just walked in smelling like that. After further review on GOOGLE...a review was posted 3 weeks ago of another customer complaining about the smell of weed. I understand it's 2024 but it's such a bad look for a medical facility. While waiting one woman walked out.
As I was sitting in the lobby I got an auto-mated text that I missed my appointment and would have to pay 25$ to reschedule...as I was sitting waiting to be seen. I let Ashley know I got a text and she said "YA... ignore it." Then she was unable to view details on my chart, like photos, settings used etc.
Ashley has treated me before with both modalities back in March. My tattoo still has ink, but it is also hypo-pigmented with scar tissue. The hypo-pigmentation came from one of my treatments with this establishment. The hypopigmentation is nothing new and something I really don't care about. Regardless, I still have dark blue ink visible on my back. Ashley refused treatment today and I really couldn't get a clear answer why. She advised me to apply vitamin E oil on my back and to go in the sun for the hypo-pigmentation and to check back in 5 weeks. EVEN THOUGH THEY SPECIFICALLY TEXT YOU AND REMIND YOU OF RECENT SUN EXPOSURE. It was obvious Ashley did not want to treat me today and had no reasoning as to why. Ashley was just pushing off the appointment and left it at "TBD.... I'll give you my number and we'll see in a few weeks". I am completely healed from my treatment back in March. I am determined to remove this tattoo because it's what I paid thousands of dollars for, over 6 years ago now. At this point the establishment has lost money on my service. I'm sure they will be out of business before the tattoo is actually gone. The constant turnover of inadequate laser specialists has made this a long, dragged out process. I understand every tattoo and skin type can be different... I can assure you this is NOT that type of situation. I am not sure if she was unsure how to treat or if she was overwhelmed because so many clients were waiting for her.... (Or maybe she was just high, given the smell of the office)
The entire encounter was uncomfortable and a waste of time. We ended it at "she would reach out to me." I videoed the entire thing because I felt like I NEEDED to. I've written a review before but I'll make an updated one with 1 star, explaining the situation and even attaching the video I have of the entire encounter. The ending specifically is so rude and unprofessional. I don't think she realized I was recording the entire interaction and I'm sure whoever owns this franchise would be turned off by this as well. I understand people have bad days but this was so bad on many levels.
I also want to make it clear Ashley tried to take a photo of my tattoo on her PERSONAL cell... that is definitely not HIPPA compliant. I asked her in the video to please take it on the iPad that is securing my personal health information. She got even more frustrated when I requested the photo be taken on the iPad, in my chart.
FYI - if you had a terrible situation like I did
