I'd like to update this review by adding that I had communication with the owner in hopes to be heard and resolve the issues I had. Unfortunately, I got a very unprofessional response which entailed excuses and blame. There was no accountability or apology. In her opinion, my experience was due to my being (2) minutes late (Not 4, Nanci).
Since customer service is not her priority, I maintain my stance in my review:
The website has 5 star reviews all around on their website but they obviously are being filtered.
I used to see a gal that is no longer working there. She was the best. She LISTENED to what I wanted and made sure every hair I pointed out that I wanted gone was removed. Customer service was her priority.
The owner, Nanci, talks tangentially the whole session and every time I walk out of there, she fails to remove the hairs that I wanted removed.
During my last visit, she was rushing through and the hairs I told her were most important and pointed out, she just stuck the probe in a nearby follicle, told me to get rid of the dead hair MYSELF, and rushed me out of the chair. She didn't even ask if she got the right one!
I have booked several 30 minute appointments and each time, she would only do 15 minutes, and have someone booked right after me. When I mentioned this, she said "your skin can't handle any more".
I have 2 questions-
Why didn't she just work on another area of my face? There is plenty of hair elsewhere hence why I booked a 30 minute session!
And secondly, if I booked a 30 why did she have a client booked right after me at the 15 minute mark? (when she hadn't even seen my skin to determine if it "couldn't handle any more")
This doesn't make any sense!
The treated areas are always bright red for several days, which doesn't typically happen to me with other electrolygists.
Listen, I'm as important as the next client, I spend about a hundred bucks a month here, please take 5 extra seconds to do your job (which includes customer satisfaction). Electrolysis is very personal and emotional for people and requires a patient and understanding professional, as far as I'm concerned. This whole experience has lead me to feel very unvalued.
Maybe if she talked less, and paid more attention to (and genuinely cared about) what the client is PAYING for and hoping to achieve, instead of doing what she pleases, this would have a higher star rating. read more
