Figured if I paid professional prices for a trim and silk press, my teen would walk away silky and neat. Well, I'm $159 poorer and the stylist sent my teen away looking like the photo I'm posting. Not silky. Not even styled. I'm quite sure all ULTA will do is post a generic "we're so sorry for your experience" message and leave it at that. Which is why I'm posting the photo as proof. So others will be saved from wasting money at the ULTA salon.

One word: Chi. She's amazing don't even bother with anyone else…read more Amazing. She's super soft spoken kind of like a ninja which is what she is a brow ninja. You have to ask for her to do your brows. One of my main concern is that when you go to get your brows done they don't listen. She listened. When I said shape them up but keep them thick. She actually did I have naturally thick eye brows but my brows are hard because they are TWO different shapes and everyone else has always tried to make them uniform instead of just working with what's naturally there ... She worked wonders and actually listened to me and made my brows look awesome!!!

I cannot stress enough how amazing Chi is! I have very thick brows which I hated for years but Chi…read morehelped me fall in love again. She helped me naturally grow out my brows after years of having them waxed down to nothing. She works with your natural look and enhances! And she also taught me how to properly style. I usually get the tint and wax service and I highly recommend a tint if you've never tried before or if you're bad with styling bc Tint eliminates the need for a lot of makeup! I will not go to anyone else for brows now. Chi is a truly sweet human being so go and meet her! Photo below : just after wax and tint service - no product on them.

My journey for a new smile is complete and I want to thank Dr. Mark Forward (Swarthmore Smiles )…read moreand the office of Dr. Christie, Dr. Drane and Dr. Forward Othodontics. It was a long journey because of the Covid situation, but we weathered through it and after my braces were removed, and I would like to add, Doctors Christie and Drane were so wonderful and patient with me. I felt so comfortable and it was actually fun seeing Dr. Christie Dr Drane and Kristen every few weeks. Then I meet Dr. Mark Forward and the transition started and now here I am with a new smile. Sometimes my braces needed adjustment when I saw him and he would adjust them and joke about helping his father during the summers with orthodontics. His staff and assistants made me feel so welcome, I felt so safe and I felt I belonged to the "family". After Dr. Forward finished my new smile, I immediately went to Dr Christie to show her. What a wonderful group of professional dentists and orthodontists. I couldn't ask for anything more. I hope a lot people see my review and will contact Swarthmore Smiles and Christie Drane and Forward Orthodontics if you need braces. They are kind, patient, professional and top of the line. Thank you Dr. Mark Forward, I am smiling now more than ever!

He's not usually one to get hype about much, so I knew right away it was worth a try. I've been going to Tavani's for a while so I know what a good cut looks like. This place is next level good. They offer you a beverage when you walk in and then give you the best haircut experience of your life. That's really what it is - An Experience. Aly was my barber and she really impressed me with how detailed she was. Best straight razor skills I've ever had, and she treated me like she's known me for years. REALLY impressed. Great experience at the same price you'll find at any other reputable barbershop. Add to all of this the fact that they give discounts to our service men and women, it's hard for me to consider going anywhere else.

We have been going to him since he was brand new and even then he had a special gift with kids.

I won't take my boys anywhere else.

I was waiting for someone I accompanied to an appointment and overheard nothing but complaining from her to other staff members. I can blatantly tell that this person is a problem child as the other staff member kept telling her things like just ignore it, don't push an issue that's non existent etc. To top it off she said out loud she has a cold coming on and did not have her face properly covered with her mask at certain points. She also did not correct a patient that did not have their mask on correctly. This gentleman walked in and boldly stated what a joke it was that he had to wear that thing (mask). There was a patient that was pregnant in the waiting room. I would think that they would hold the people that greet their patients held to a higher standard.

Got a bill for $77.00 for copying our records. We've only been with this office for less than 4 years. Do you really think there was $77 dollars worth of REASONABLE COST-BASED FEES. Doubtful after they charged us for an appointment we didn't make. If there was a 0 rating this would get it!.. VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THEY EVEN CHANGED THEIR NAME AND LOCATION A FEW MONTHS BACK TO... BRINTON LAKE in Glen Mills, PA. ********* I can't believe more people haven't written reviews for this place. The people answering the phones... receptionists, nurses, etc are some of the rudest people I've dealt with on the phone... says something. When I wanted a well check-up for more than 2 issues they said I had to schedule a 2nd appointment because they just couldn't see me for everything. The reception area was completely empty with 4 people behind the 'velvet rope.' This doesn't include the nurse practitioner I saw. The service is so infuriating. It takes at least 3 phone calls to get a prescription refilled. Their M.O. is actually not to fill re-fills without another appointment... another $30 just to get a prescription filled. Even our pharmacist says they are scamming the public to pay them more money. Both my husband and I go here. Neither us go for cosmetic purposes. It's not like we're annoying them to get botox, laser work done, or collagen. Geez you'd think doctors would actually care about your health!?.

Just an interesting observation…read more.. I recently made an appointment to see the only Physician's Assistant in a different dermatology office where I have been seeing a doctor in Kennett Square for medical dermatology matters. Imagine my surprise when the P.A. came into the examining room and was none other than the P.A. who had treated me at Brinton Lake many times. He recognized me immediately by name but made no reference to the fact that he had changed jobs. I did not ask him why he had left his previous job since I knew he would not tell me anything since that would be unprofessional on his part. I had seen him there over a number of years. If they treat their patients in such a poor manner I wonder how they treat their employees. I still have never been treated so horribly in a doctors' office. Luckily they are not the only fish in the sea!
