One star, for initial consultation. I thought they cared about my daughter's severe acne, a story…read moreI've had to tell many times. Honestly, it was just a façade for business. Second star, got to the IPL appointment. Turns out, from a second opinion that the state of Wisconsin does not need aestheticians to have any certification. It was brought to my attention that Amy at forever young should have never, ever, even tried IPL on anyone of Hispanic origin, even if skin tone is on lighter side. After the excruciating experienced it made me wonder, unfortunately after the fact. I found out about something that is called the Fitzpatrick scale through the second opinion profesional. He explained it very clear. After this knowledge Amy, the aesthetician should have NEVER put my daughter through IPL, my daughter smelled the burning of her skin, and it hurt tremendously. Forever young had a responsibility to inform us, but according to the second opinion, they didn't inform us because they probably don't know what they are doing, which makes me wonder about certification by the state of Wisconsin. Basic training would cover this very basic knowledge. Fortunately we stopped the treatment. (Funny thing is my daughter wanted to go back) to just deal with it, since we didn't know any better. You have to understand the difficult journey we have been through to understand the rationale behind her thinking that day. But thankfully the aesthetician, Amy said and I quote, " I don't feel comfortable," probably the best thing she did and said. Finally, we ended up leaving, the sad thing is there was no compassion, no empathy. No answers. Just "have a nice day." "Maybe once her face clears up we could try micro-needling," I am disappointed in this establishment. And I am glad we have a second opinion, through this horrific experience I wouldn't have found a different establishment that cares, and wants to help us. Truly, help us and not just take our time and money. This is our honest experience with FY and would do my homework before visiting here. They have a review where someone was burned. I ignored it. I haven't even gotten a call back to see how my daughter is doing or feeling. But that's ok. I learned from this. Hope my experience can help someone on the fence about visiting here.

I spoke with a staff member about wanting mustache, chin, and neck hair removal like I have done in the past when I lived in California. They asked me questions which included if I had laser hair removal before and I said YES. They did not once ask me how long ago I had my last laser removal in California. I was given an appointment Trent time with their new knowledge that I have had laser before on those same areas. I was to go in for their consultation and get a free laser hair removal. They said my consultation was at 4pm and my FREE laser hair removal at 5pm. I went in April 1, 2024 at 3:50 for my 4pm appt and sat through hell. They made me watch a huge screen with a slide show and videos about laser hair removal like if I was being sold a timeshare! That's great for a new patient but I have had laser hair removal and know how it works. So for an hour I sat through it smiling and looking forward to my hair removal session. The lady selling me the monthly payment program was nice and she also asked if I had laser before and I said YES so w en in the long video she fast forwarded the video and said; "you know how it's done since you have had it before." Not once did she ask when my last session was when I did it in California when I resided there. So after I declined their laser hair removal time share plan and monthly payment options I asked if I could just pay for one time laser when I feel like it on my mustache since I don't have much hair and she said; no. They don't have just one session or three session packages. This is a monthly commitment. So then the timeshare lady proceeds to wrap it up and I ask about my free laser hair removal and she said; WE DON'T DO FREE LASER HAIR REMOVAL ON PREVIOUSLY TREATED SKIN. I was upset and walked out and told them they were scammers and wasted MY PRECIOUS TIME OFF! I drive far for that as well. I walked out disappointed at their lack of professionalism. I could write a list of things they could do to improve their customer service and not waste people's time! Dissatisfied! They scammed my time with false advertisement and appointment scheduled to come in for their hour long presentation!

Anyhow, I'll still be going back and will probably question it next time when I have more time to stick around.

No massage, feet were still rough, nails were cut uneven on both my feet and hands, neither were filed or shaped, sloppy polish and finish. Overall looked like a child had done the job.

So many times with other professionals in the beauty industry, I have been criticized or shamed in order to make a sale. "Your hair needs highlights." "Your nails are too short." "Your eyebrows are too light." "You need to wax your sideburns and your mustache". What? Never, ever has Estina done this. She likely won't even bring up a different service unless you ask. And when you do ask, she speaks to you in a non judgmental, kind, professional way because she knows her products and services and wants to help- not just sell. As long as Estina is in La Crosse I will be a loyal customer.

Serenity Spa By Shana

TL;DR: OMG Shana is the BEST! You won't regret booking services with her!…read more Long Version Where I Gush About How Great Shana Is: Shana has been my aesthetician since 2019, during the time she worked at another salon spa. I've gotten a variety of treatments and services, including my regular Brazilian, occasional full leg waxing, facial, dermaplaning, eyelash tint & lift, etc. There are not enough good words in the English language to describe how great Shana is! (I could start at "A" with Amazing and Awesome, go to "B" with Brilliant and Brave and Beautiful, "C" for Caring, "D" for Delightful, and so on, but I'd be limiting myself to only a few adjectives, and Shana deserves so much more!) Shana has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable (not that easy when you've got your knickers off and someone ripping hair off your girl parts, let me tell you!) and cared for with love and attention. She has great advice and suggestions, and always tries to answer my nutty irrelevant beauty questions ("Shana, please tell me how I can get rid of these hollow half-moons under my eyes? Shana, why does hair do THIS weird thing? Shana, what even ARE parabens?" Now that she's started her own Spa, I think her services will really shine all the brighter because she's making all the decisions about what products to use, what services to offer, etc. My recent visit was probably one of the least irritating waxes I've ever had thanks to her fabulous post-procedure treatments, and believe it or not more than a week later, my hair has barely regrown!! (Shana, holy moly, don't use too much of that stuff or I won't have any hair left for you to wax!! XD) I could go on and on about how much I love Shana, but if you've read this far, you can probably already tell. Don't delay! Book with Shana today! You won't regret it! PS: I am not related to Shana, nor I was not given anything for free in exchange for this very honest review (nor would I accept anything in exchange for my freely given opinion EVER, anyway) and I say this because of my own worries when I see a bunch of glowing reviews that the reviewers are all just cousins of the owner. Believe me, Shana is just great. She doesn't need to get her cousins to say nice things about her, because everyone loves her!
