    Does this business mind if I receive my massage nude?

    It is against our policy to inappropriately expose the client at any point during our treatments. We understand that that may be a preference for some individuals and sympathize but there is no room for crossing the boundaries or "grey area" when it… Read more

    Emily is the BEST at finding all the pain points, and she finds all the trouble spots without me having to tell her.

    I am new to the Santa Cruz area and found Jenny on Groupon. I was very optimistic and excited for…read morethe potential of finding a new esthetician. Jenny recommended an acne facial with extractions upon my arrival. I shared with her that I have sensitive skin and she was confident that with regular treatment I would see positive results. The acne facial was much different than I have ever experienced. My skin burned with application from her creams and literally peeled off with her harsh facial scrubbing process. Jenny provided me with a hand held fan to alleviate the pain throughout the facial treatment. The extraction treatment was also painful and brought me to tears. The next day I had blemishes and scabs all over my face. I texted Jenny and she said it was normal and seemed very dismissive. Later that week she contacted me regarding a follow-up consult previously scheduled. She acknowledged that the treatment she provided was probably too harsh for my skin and she recommended an enzyme treatment. I didn't respond initially to her text because I was hesitant to receive any additional service from her. The day before my appointment I decided to give it another chance and confirmed my appointment time. She texted back asking me what my text was regarding. Once I explained, she then referred to me by the wrong name. I now wish I took all these awful experiences as a sign that it was not a good fit. I attended anyway and during my consult she called me "dark skinned" and began to share an example of another "dark skinned" woman she has provided successful treatment to -- I guess to infer she is an expert on skin treatment for all black people. That was enough for me. In that moment Jenny did not see the light caramel complexion black woman in front of her, but rather grouped me with all black people. I am a proud black woman, but if you can't see me as an individual and notice as an esthetician that black people come in all complexions, the conversation is over. I respectfully ended the consult and will never return again.

    Buyer beware! If you buy a living social coupon and think you are getting a great deal- you are…read morewrong. Tried for 2 weeks to get an appointment both by phone and by text (she doesn't have online booking like most folks). No luck. I know it's the holidays but it January 4th and you need to start answering your phone...it's back to work time. If you have an emergency situation, change your outgoing message to let clients know what's up. You are ruining your own reputation at this point. Luckily, I was able to trade in my coupon for another wax specialist in Santa Cruz who has wonderful ratings.
