Then I met Dr. Cho, and honestly, I feel so lucky that I found her. She has so much experience, and she was always very gentle, careful, and thoughtful throughout my treatment. I always felt like I was in good hands. Before seeing Dr. Cho, I couldn't even wear fitted leggings because I was so conscious of my scar. Now I can wear them confidently and I don't worry about it like I used to. Meeting Dr. Cho was truly a blessing for me. I'm so thankful for she's expertise and the way she took such good care of me. I would definitely recommend her and her team to anyone who is dealing with a similar concern.

When it comes to beauty treatments, this is NOT my first rodeo and everyone is selling wellness!!!!!!! Everyone wants to save money.... What I did not think about before Bellatuda, was how much difference there is between an actual doctor, and a nurse or PA "working under a doctors license." The difference is HUGE. Dr. Cho affords a plastic surgery perspective and a WIDE range of cutting edge, minimally invasive procedures, because she is an actual doctor. Also, she sees things in a way no one has before and her skills are hands down amazing. I TRUST her...which is a big deal, as like I said...wellness is an industry, everyone is selling, everyone wants to save money... Come here and you won't settle for less than the best, at an affordable price.

I was utterly appalled when I found out, during a facial, that the owner Melinda is an anti vaxxer.

The "rewards" points aren't rewards, they're a sales tactic. I'll have $10 in points sitting on my account and get asked at checkout if I'd like to put it toward a $60 product. No -- having $10 doesn't mean I want to spend $50 more. Similarly, when I have a few waxes left on a package, I'll be told a renewal special is ending soon "in case I want to lock it in" -- a soft-sell disguised as a courtesy. The scheduling is worse. They text reminders so frequently that I'll get one two days before an appointment and another the day before, both expecting a "yes." A few weeks ago I confirmed one of these reminders, drove roughly 30 minutes to get there at the exact date and time it listed, and was told my appointment was actually the following week. I had the text confirmation in hand. No apology, no credit, nothing for the wasted trip. Most recently, I was refused check-in because I didn't have physical ID on me -- I'd left my purse in the car on a 93° day and only brought my phone. The specialist I've worked with for years was in the building and could have easily confirmed who I was, but that wasn't an option. Nowhere in their reminder texts or emails do they mention ID will be required at every single visit, not just at sign-up. Demanding it repeatedly, with no advance notice, feels excessive and unnecessary. Add in consistently terrible parking, and it's just not worth it anymore. After a decade, I'm switching to an independent, sole-proprietor esthetician. You lose the personal touch the moment a good service gets buried under corporate policy.

I kindly explained to her that I was using an underarm wax pass that I had remaining from when I used to wax with EWC several years ago. I no longer wax with EWC (switched to lasering). Took some time to explain to her that I discovered that I had 1 remaining unused wax pass after reaching out to tech support to delete my online personal information. She proceeds to make me feel uncomfortable, then cuts me off with a hmm ok no worries before she abruptly hangs up the phone on me. @EWC just a tip. If your business strategy to bringing in more people is calling them, then being rude to them when they give you a response you don't like you're going to end up losing more customers than retaining. Thank you for reminding me why I stopped waxing with EWC in the first place. Additionally, the underarm wax I did those 6 weeks prior was patchy and the specialist was 20 minutes late. Funny how EWC has such a strict late policy, but can't equally respect other people's time.
