Dream Massage worked like a dream!…read more When it comes to massages I'm rather picky. I like a clean, quiet, and professional facility. And most importantly, it needs to get the job done. I don't need a fancy massage that's all bells and whistles and no substance. I want to leave feeling like my muscles were really rubbed and things are back in their respective places. Marshel at Dream Massage did just that! I arrived early and it wasn't a problem. Yay! Marshel made small talk with me and led me back to the massage room. There weren't any other clients, so the place was super quiet (double yay!). We chatted about where I was having issues and she confirmed that she would spend the majority of her time on that problem. Several hot stones and 50 minutes later I walked out feeling like a brand new person. It took a few more hours of a warm compress and soaking bath, but the next day it was like I never had a problem. I attribute that all to the amazing talents of Marshel. Her strong hands and attention to detail during the massage made it one of the best I've ever had. While the prices are a tad higher than most, (my massage was $60), it was well worth it.

The massage was great! But the lady that massaged me had a friend in the back who was trying to…read morepress me for more tip. WTF this is one of those massage followers that will try to jack you off too. Be advised. They are up to some shady stuff. I would've gave you guys five stars if you wouldn't have tried to press me at the end for more money after I already gave you 25%. I should've gave you nothing.

I have been here a couple of times this year. The massage ladies have done a good job. This place…read moreis $45 per hour and the hour from my experience is 60 minutes. About 20 to 25 minutes in they bring in the hot stones, and those are so relaxing. There has been so far nice relaxing Chinese music playing over a background of like a waterfall or other nature type sounds. I have never heard this type of music before, it was nice, but I think if you were very fatigued, it would put you to sleep. This is a nice clean massage place with big rooms, nice hooks for the clothing and a shelf along one wall. I enjoyed my massages here, they may be the best I have had in Bakersfield. Only negative I encountered was the girl leaves the room every time the bell chimes at the entrance. They probably wasted five minutes of my time both times, perhaps a little more. But that is the nature of these types of massage places, I just wish they would make up the time after the original hour is up. They do not nag and beg for tips here, I have tipped twenty once and fifteen once. They are worth the tip in my opinion.

However, it's disappointing that some front desk staff seem to arrive with an attitude that suggests they dislike their jobs. One woman, with a shoulder-length bob and wavy blonde hair, really impacted my day negatively with her demeanor. I sincerely hope I don't have to interact with her again. If you're unhappy in your role, it might be time to consider a different job.

I had a bad experience with a neurotoxin here a long time ago and I forgot I had left a bad review…read more And honestly now that I think about it it may not have been the injectors fault . It was the one and only time I got xeomin. Maybe my body didn't react well to that one. I usually only get Botox or dysport. May recent experiences here have been good. I don't get neurotoxins here because I am kind of loyal to the lady I go to in town but this place offers all kinds of services. I was gifted a few Valentine's Day packages so I have tried getting a massage , facial , and mic b12 injections , and worked out at the gym they have and done Pilates too. I've had a good experience with everything . They are super busy but they do get back to you and follow up too. Pilates instructor was really good and knowledgeable. I like when instructors do a good job explaining things in detail and when they correct your form so that you actually work the muscles the exercise is intended to work. She does a good job of that. She's funny too. The gym classes are good too. But if you're new to working out it might be challenging. I was so sore after the upper body class, more sore than I have been in a long time. But yes overall great experience with everything . I feel bad I had that bad review up for such a long time I forgot about it

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more First time coming here and I will come back. My session was with Danelle and she was SO GOOD! I've had many facials in the past, but this one was unlike anything I have ever had before. I got the signature facial but Danelle really personalized the facial for my skin, which is fantastic! I got a LED treatment, micro dermabrasion, cellophane and a hot towel to the face, fantastic masks, and a warm tip to work in the eye product. I'm already thinking about the next time I'm in CA, I'll be back. For the price, it's worth it. Danelle was personal, friendly, and she knew what she was doing. This is a place to support - plus your skin feels wonderful after you leave. She even sprayed my mask before I left to help kill the germs off of it. I LOVE IT! You got to come here! After a year like 2020, you deserve this!

I came to NakedMD for lip filler hoping for a natural enhancement, but unfortunately my experience…read moredidn't turn out the way I expected. During my first appointment, I received half a syringe of filler. About two weeks later, I noticed my smile had become noticeably crooked, so I scheduled a follow-up to have it adjusted. After that visit, my smile actually looked even more uneven. I returned again and saw a different injector. Before evaluating the results, she suggested my smile was naturally crooked. I had before-and-after photos showing that my smile had been symmetrical prior to the injections, and once I shared them, she agreed to inject the remaining half syringe in an attempt to correct the issue. I appreciate that the manager tried to make things right during my follow-up visits. Unfortunately, despite those efforts, I still wasn't happy with the final outcome and ultimately went to another med spa to have my lips corrected. Because of that experience, I don't see myself returning for injectable treatments. The one thing I do highly recommend is their Arnica Tinted Lip Gloss. It's an excellent product that helped keep my lips moisturized throughout the healing process, and it's something I'd purchase again.

I came here recently to have my hair and makeup done for my wedding…read more For starters, once I walked in I was greeted and offered cucumber water while I waited for my appointment. The gal at the front was very sweet, and welcoming. It was time for my appointment. I booked with Marissa and Anastasia. They were both amazing. My makeup was flawless, and I was incredibly impressed with my hair. My hair is thin, see through and my scalp shows. Marissa made my hair look like I had a full set of hair. I was in awe, and so happy with the final look. The makeup part was relaxing, and Anastasia did such an amazing job. My skin looked air brushed, and my makeup did not budge AT ALL during my entire wedding. Even after all the emotions, and dancing. Also in the middle of my appointment I got offered a little coffee, and it was so good. They definitely treat their customers well. This place offers so many services. I will have to return for a facial, or massage some day. I will definitely be back!

My husband was out in Bakersfield, her a cycling race and decided to treat me to a spa day during…read morehis ride. This was not what I expected. This is a place that offers massage and facials, but doesn't have any spa amenities. Furthermore, they have a skeleton staff. My facial was canceled hours before the service because the esthetician got sick. This is understandable with the state of the world. However, they didn't have anybody else to provide the service. Well, no problem. Let me still get my 10 AM massage. I get to the salon at 10 AM. Yelp, says they open at 9 am but nobody is there. I say at about 10:01am Karina shows up. She needs about 10 minutes to prepare before we can start the massage. I'm not in a rush, so no problem. My 90 minute massage was cut down to probably about 75 minutes. When I confronted her about it, she did takeoff $10. But many people would not say anything at all. I found this to be unethical. The whole thing was rather disappointing.

I was having symptoms that I thought could be hormonal and was told to have a consult for HRT. I'm…read more41 and I thought why not. Walked in, chatted about it and was given an order for blood work (NO ONE TOLD ME WHEN THE BLOODWORK NEEDED TO BE DONE AROUND MY CYCLE.) luckily it was within the correct window of time when I got the bloodwork done - thankfully by chance. I wish I would have looked at the blood work myself because I am not in need of HRT. I went in for my appointment and had to fill out forms on a dying iPad and then when called back I did not get to see Dr. Ari, I saw another woman who was nice but there was zero reason to be in there and she told me before I left (after paying $150 for labs elsewhere) it's going to be $225. So much for nothing. Sad because I would have went there for other things but not now. I felt duped and I felt like they could have just said "you don't need the meds and we can't help" and saved all of us time but they wanted my $225. They were all friendly but honestly, if you want to get hormones checked, a lab can help without paying an additional $225 to just walk into this office that did nothing. I'm completely disappointed. At least they didn't try to upsell me on anything else even though there are treatments I would have done. Taking the time and money to sit there for nothing has really rubbed me the wrong way. I feel it was handled unfairly. *We can't help you and knew it before your appointment- but thanks for the cash.* I'm a business owner and I would NEVER. I know they probably don't care but I feel like people should be aware.

Why it took me 3 years to go back here when it is so close to home, I have no idea…read more.. But, I found Jaime and she is just the greatest! Super personable. So talented, I feel that she could cut and highlight my hair with her eyes closed. Front counter, friendly-ish. Overall, the salon is clean and seems very drama-free which is a nice change. And, I was taken in on time for my appointment. At other places, at times I was left sitting waiting 45 min to be seen as the stylists ran late most time being double and triple booked. Nice products at the front(they sell Skinceuticals skin care!) and low pressure sales felt. I bought a really good L'Oreal shampoo in a peach colored bottle that Jaime used on me. It was at a great price point. The cost of the appointment was very reasonable although there was a $15 treatment done that I had not Ok'd but I feel it was an honest mistake. The only other thing I would change is that we lost 75 cents making my appointment on line. What, why? Weird. Will call it in next time. I really liked my results/the overall feel here so see ya in June, Privato! Wee update - fast forward to June. I did not realize Jaime would be unavailable for much of summer so.. enter Jeanette! My first appointment with her was great. I do recommend her as well.

Hair was starting to look a little shaggy, so I went on the Yelp hunt for a new salon…read more Came across House of beauty. Awesome reviews, beautiful pictures. Everything Looked good... Checked them out on Facebook too, since they have no number listed on Yelp or google, reached out on FB messenger to the Business and I was connected to a lady named Stacie. She informed me that you have to set up your appointment with her through an app called StyleSeat ... It's basically a Yelp for hair, nails, waxing, eyelashes, and pretty much everything beautifying. I'm not sure if all the technicians here at HOB use this app for scheduling appointments? But the app itself even has lots of reviews and pictures too, plus Stacie gave me her Instagram to check out even more of her work, and I was sold lol.... She really has some talent! So everything is by appointment through the app only. And it's really easy to use. So my appointment date rolls around. Stacie informed me VIA text she was a little behind and if I could come 30.mins later, sure no problem. Arrived and sent her the text that I was there (since she informed me they keep the doors locked for safety reasons) and she lets me in... The place is a little house that's been transformed into a salon, and each room has its own little station, it's super cute,, fun, clean and comfortable. I loved it. And Stacie was very easy to talk to, super sweet and friendly, And she understood what I wanted, even kept asking me little details to make sure she did what I wanted too!... and I'd say she delivered! she brought my hair back to life! lol. I was so happy with her work. She has the hands of a machine when it comes to blow drying your hair, lol. I've never seen such movement with a hairbrush and blow dryer before. Haha! My experience here was so wonderful and I would very much recommend her and The House of Beauty to anyone ! Thanks again Stacie!
