Anyways, I would be pissed off too working if I had to throw away thousands of dollars of merchandise or redo displays because somebody destructive tornado decided Sephora is a place for play and sensory fun. The kids in there were absolutely awful. I don't even think the ladies bought anything. Today, Ezra patiently helped me pick out items. She was gracious and so patient. Please ask for her!

I've now visited SkinDC several times for treatment of eczema affecting both hands, particularly several fingers on my right hand. Each appointment has been thorough and comprehensive, and I've appreciated the time taken to understand what I'm experiencing rather than simply treating the symptoms. Madeleine Sowash and team have consistently been professional, attentive, and very clear and informative. They've recommended different ointments and creams to help alleviate my symptoms, while clearly explaining how and when to use them. Since beginning treatment, I've experienced noticeable improvement in the itching, irritation, discomfort, and tenderness, and I'm very pleased with the progress I've made. The overall patient experience has also been positive. The check-in process is pleasant and efficient, and the team is very responsive when I need prescription refills. I also appreciate that my care has focused not only on providing relief, but on determining what may be triggering the eczema. I'm looking forward to patch testing in the near future to help identify potential allergens and hopefully provide some additional answers. Metered street parking is available nearby. Overall, I've had a very positive experience with SkinDC. I appreciate Madeleine Sowash and the entire team for the professional, informative, responsive, and comprehensive care I've received.

I've been coming to this clinic for about two months now, and I only have positive things to say!…read more I had a horrible break out a few months ago, and the products my old dermatologist not only didn't help me, but left me with dry, even more acne prone skin!! I was mortified! But lo and behold, I found this clinic that must have been sent from the heavens, because after being tossed around from doctor to doctor, they're the only ones who have been able to clear my skin! One of the things to keep in mind is that because this clinic is mostly for cosmetic procedures, they do not accept insurance. I must admit, I was a little bit skeptical when they said they don't accept insurance, but I'm so glad I gave them a try or else I would've missed this gem. Every penny I paid had been worth it. I was assessed by Dr. Hayre (the dermatologist), and she prescribed me some topicals as well as an oral medication. She also recommended I do isolaz once a week, which I have been doing regularly. Ratana does my isolaz treatments each week, and she is fantastic! I always look forward to the appointments with her, she's so fun to talk to and is super gentle with the treatment and the extractions (which usually hurt so bad!!). I also have to thank them for being so accommodating toward me. My job is very hectic and sometimes I end up having to stay longer than expected, which makes it hard for me to make it to appointments on time sometimes. Every time this has happened the front desk has been nothing but patient and work hard to make sure that I can make it. They're amazing! Bottom line: if you want amazing skin, COME HERE!

I had an amazing experience at this MAC location. When first going to the store I really didn't know what colors I wanted and was unsure about what colors would look good on my skin. However, one of the employees (Jasmine) helped me out a lot. She was patient, friendly and showed me a lot of different colors I could use on my complexion (I'm more of a neutral kinda girl). Even when jasmine had to step away for a while, other employees offered their assistance. I left very satisfied with all the make up I bought and the customer service I received. I would definitely go back and would refer others to this store as well. read more

It is a new scent in their Halloween line of products. The scent is gourmand and I prefer it over the classic Halloween scents like Ghoul Friend and Vampire Blood. The description of this new scent is : Prepare for sugar overload (in the best way). The sweet carnival treat of your dreams gets a spooky twist this Halloween season with a touch of dark berries and delicious mischief. Notes: spun sugared webs, fresh berries and fluffy whipped vanilla. Loved the new Halloween display inside and wish they had more gourmand scents like caramel popcorn. Didn't receive help finding products there yet everyone was nice there. At the cash register, I purchased a small slim square container with honey vanilla spray hand sanitizer, a pocket spray sanitizer, to give to my husband, so he could use it at work. Online the scent is described as: Inspired by the warmth of the season, gingered white pumpkin and golden caramel glaze mingle with rich blended spices for pure indulgence. Notes: honey drizzle, blossoming neroli, whipped vanilla bean. I wish I had bought one for myself and the purse carrier for it and the hand soap in this scent. It is a good scent and perfect for summer and fall. I, also, thought of going back to buy the pocket hand sanitizer holders for Halloween.
