My Cosmelan Experience - Costly and Traumatic Mistake I'm writing this review to warn others who may be considering getting the Cosmelan treatment with Muse Maven. I had the treatment done on February 15, and three months later, my skin is worse than when I started--marked by blotchiness, rough texture, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. What was meant to be an investment in my skin and self-care has turned into a painful and expensive regret. I followed every single instruction to the letter. From adjusting the amount of product to taking breaks when advised, I kept close communication and shared pictures throughout the process. I endured weeks of burning, tightness, itching, and discomfort--at one point, scratching my face in my sleep from the irritation. When I first mentioned not seeing results she said I wasn't using enough. Another time, she said I wasn't using the right cleanser so I had to purchase her brand cleanser. It was always something, but none of those reasons helped. At my follow-up appointment, I raised concerns about the second jar of Cosmelan 2, which seemed off in texture and color, but I was told it was fine. After using this jar, my skin got tight and very red. When I sent her the pictures, she responded saying to take 2 days off and she'd get back to me with a solution within 24 hours. I was freakin out at this time, but guess what? She didn't get back to me. I followed up with her 6 days later and finally got a response. Despite all this, my concerns were not addressed in a timely or supportive way. I received no meaningful guidance beyond "take a break" or "use a different cleanser," while my skin continued to worsen. To make matters more frustrating, there was a delay in follow-up each time she'd ask me to keep her updated. When I finally expressed my disappointment and shared how emotionally distressing this process has been, the response I got was that she'd be willing to provide me with free hydroquinone-based brightening cream. If I wanted to bleach my skin, I would have chosen that route from the beginning. I was looking for long-term, sustainable results--not a band-aid. I invested over $1,500, and now I have to work with my dermatologist to recover the damage that's been done. It's clear to me that there was a lack of transparency about potential risks and insufficient aftercare. If you're considering this treatment, please consult with a board-certified dermatologist first--and think twice before trusting this provider with your skin. I wish I had done more research and read these reviews beforehand. read more

A scam, sham, & money grab!! I will never purchase another chemical peel. After trying multiple different med-spas to correct hyperpigmentation, trying everything from superficial to medium depth peels I stumbled upon this esthetician advertising cosmelan peels. Cosmelan is supposedly one of the best peels on the market so I decided to give it a go. I told her about my previous terrible experience with vi peels etc stating how I thought they were a scam because they simply do not work. We proceeded with the cosmelan peel in- office & I got the post care kit. I was hopeful to see some type of results after I paid $1099. My skin began peeling and I waited 3 weeks to see if there's a difference. No difference whatsoever . Just mild peeling. At that point I file a dispute with my bank & she sends in her paperwork & no refund policy to shut the claim down. This is honestly a joke ... I might as well sell scam products too & have people sign a no refund policy right ? Atlanta is truly home to the scammers. Ok fine I give it another chance because there's a touch up included so I booked that and then came in . Skin began peeling again and no difference at all. A literal waste of money. I would have had understanding if there was even a 20% reduction , give me something to work with!! 0% difference. After spending over $1k and the marketing of the product promising atleast some results after even the first week this is just very disappointing . If the peel doesn't really do anything atleast reduce the price . Cosmelan should be no more than $5.99 at the beauty supply store. Because the costs don't match the results. I'm usually not a cheap or pain in the a* customer and like to pay for quality . But I mean seriously !!! Ugh ! I'm done with chemical peels and will not be returning here or any other med spa and will just go to an actual doctor. Ridiculous and misleading !!! Will also go to small claims court & see what the outcome will be she is standing her ground and digging her heels in the sand for the $1k but regardless of the outcome the universe will ensure the $ is returned to me ten fold like it always has. read more

I've been to Muse twice now and have had an amazing experience both times. It's been years since I've had a facial and the last time I just remember the business trying to sell me a line of products I didn't need. I had quite the opposite experience at Muse. Scheduling was easy and when I arrived Jas was very nice. For the first visit she did a custom facial according to what she saw was needed. She explained each step of the facial and every product she used and why those products were necessary. In all honesty, I was hoping this appointment would not end with her trying to sell me all these products. And she didn't. I mentioned how much I appreciated that she didn't push a line of products. And the one product she mentioned she explained why it would be useful. She took another 5-10 minutes after the appointment to give me an overall assessment of my skin, which to my surprise she said was really healthy. She also discussed my current routine and products and explained the difference in OTC products versus clinical strength products. She also suggested returning for a few oxygen facials and explained the benefits. Again, I did not feel pressured to schedule additional services immediately. So I returned for the oxygen facial! As with my first facial, she explained each step of the process and checked throughout the facial to make sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort. I've definitely noticed far less, if any, dryness on certain areas of my skin after my two facials. I highly recommend Muse for facials. Also, be sure to read and pay attention to the emails that are sent out ahead of the appointment for directions. Entering the office park behind QT is the best way to get in to the office park, but you'll definitely miss the driveway near Boston Market if you're going to fast. read more

Loved Jazz and my lash lift! She explained each step she was taking very well to both me and her assistant she was teaching, which made me feel confident that she knew what she was doing. I just started using lash boost, but my eyelashes are blonde at the ends so it basically looks like I have no eyelashes without makeup. She tinted them dark and lifted them and they look great! Although the procedure wasn't the most comfortable process in the world, she made sure to make me as comfortable as possible. The process took a little over an hour and is located in an apt complex. I recommend her services and will be back! Thank you Jazz! read more

Nothing short of amazing both times I've gone for my lash lift. I used to have a friend that would do it for me, but she's since had a baby and stopped. So I was desperate to find someone else who could take over, and that is when I came across Jazz. She always does an amazing job, and makes me as comfortable as possible. Both times I've been I've loved the results. She is quickly becoming my new girl for my lash lifts. Thanks so much!!! :) read more

Been a client for over a year now. I think that speaks volumes. The shop is always clean and relaxing and feels intimate. The service is always great! Most importantly I get noticeable results. I would highly recommend! read more

I am in love! My lashes are on the shorter and thinner side, so the lash lift was the perfect opportunity to add a little flare to my natural lashes. Let me say, she really has an eye for detail! From the decorations in her studio to the way she gently handled my lashes, I am so pleased with the service. Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend :) read more

I really went back and forth about writing this review because I know she is a small business owner and I understand the power of internet marketing. I am gonna keep this short and sweet. I found her on Instagram, loved what I saw and booked an appointment. There is a similar review around the same time I got my facial. I'm not sure if it was chemically burned or infection but it took a long time to get my skin back right and it still has not fully recovered. After our appointment together I made her aware and she blocked me on social media --which is so silly and immature. I would never harass someone via social media and I never did. She did offer to help me repair my skin before blocking me (I guess blocked me when I dbut I couldn't even imagine going back after I was so torn up walking around with my skin like that. My skin is now still red/blotchy in the areas that were initially burned. Please be more aware when clients say they have sensitive skin. I have had plenty of facials/treatments before and never had anything like this. There will be no back and forth under this review but looking at my skin close to a year later I was moved to make this review. I have been working with my dermatologist to fully repair my skin since shortly after this happen but it's disheartening to look at my skin and still see discoloration after a simple facial from Jan 2019. Update: I retract my statement, you tried it. There was some hormonal acne but if you THINK that it's normal, you're a bit delusional. This was not fraxel or any skin resurfacing. Adding a photo of my skin right before at a work trip in Costa Rica. The lighting shows the texture and when you zoom in where there was acne. On my upper cheek and lower jawline. A doctor saw me after and was concerned, extremely. read more

I came to muse maven for a microdermabrasion and ended up with a bacterial infection on my face that Jas does not want to be responsible for. The customer service while I was there was great. She was very nice during the process. My skin did burn with the steps following the cleanse which she claimed was normal because "the mouth area is sensitive" so I allowed her to continue. But instead of apologizing for her mishap, she blamed me for the infection and tried to say it was a viral outbreak. According to a dermatologist (which I'm sure knows more than an aesthetician) the infection was caused by the service. My skin literally peeled off of my face and my skin was raw for days and still is. I did not even receive an apology. Instead, I was told that other clients enjoyed their service. Which I don't understand why she thought I would care. Go at your own risk. In response Jas: Like I told you... idc about someone else! This is MY face! I do not want you to touch my face if you already messed it up. Stop talking about other people. They have nothing to do with me. Period. I went to a dermatologist, a DOCTOR, who said it was NOT a viral infection but a bacterial infection that came from the service. I can send you more picture of where it went further up my cheek and my skin peeling off. You messed up. Tell the doctor he's wrong then. You're so hell bent being on being right when you're not. You're "perfect streak" has ended because YOU messed up my face. And I didn't demand anything. I asked for it instead of the free treatments because again, I didn't want you to touch my face again. Why would I pet a dog that bit me? Right. Good day. read more

All natural products!!! Jas really knows her stuff when it comes to the benefits of ingredients. I've learned so much. I've been going to her for a year and the microneedling changed my life. My face has never been better, erased wrinkles. Her space is so zen, so clean and professional. I've recommended her to 3 friends already! read more

Jas is the ABSOLUTE best, hands down. Today was wine down Wednesday and I sampled a lovely Prosecco. My facial was the best I've ever had, she explained each step from beginning to end. I received the dermaplane facial, chemical peel and a jelly mask. It's a in home spa but you'd never know, the place is immaculate. She plays soothing music during the entire experience to keep you relaxed. She'll also thoroughly answer any questions you have. If you're looking for a knowledgeable esthetician, look no further. I'll be booking my next appointment in advanced. read more

Jazz was very informative, knowledgeable, and welcoming. My oxygen infusion with high frequency facial was relaxing and i can already feel a difference. It was my first facial and she made me feel so comfortable. I also did a lash lift and tint!!! It looks AMAZINGGG! I would definitely recommend her to family and friends. read more

Awesome experience!Friendly, professional, plenty of parking was available. The office was very relaxing and welcoming. Jazz was very knowledgeable, listened to my request and the outcome of my services was done better than I imaged. Very satisfied with my lashes!! I am now a regular customer, and highly recommend! read more

AMAZING! To say the absolute least. Jaz is so knowledgeable, honest, and very down to earth. You can automatically tell she cares about her clients and not just in the industry for pay. She thoroughly explains each step before performing and gives you insight on why the service is being performed. I have been to several spas and have never received this quality of service. My skin has changed tremendously after visiting Muse Maven. Jaz is heaven sent! I have been experiencing hormonal breakouts for a few months now. I came in and she examined my skin and let me know the route I need to take.She also gave me a plan of action for at home care. She is very honest does not make totally unnecessary appointments just to have high volume ,also doesn't just add on services that aren't needed. The facility is cozy, relaxing, conveniently located and prices are affordable. read more

This was my 1st time attending this establishment and I was more than satisfied with the service I received. From the moment I walked through the door I was treated with welcoming arms and the ambiance was soothing and very relaxing! This was the best facial I've ever had and before I left, I definitely made sure that my next appointment was booked...2 words for new customers "BOOK NOW"!!!! read more

I got a lash lift and tint today, and it was absolutely AMAZING! I've never done anything with my lashes before, so I was a little nervous, but I am beyond happy with the results. Jaz was super sweet, and I could tell she really cares about her clients. Couldn't recommend her enough! read more

Love going to Muse Maven. My appointments always start on time and I love that there is no lingering people in the lobby or around during my time. Very personable and intimate. Wine and snacks is always offered and Jas is always a comforting soul. Along with the fact that she keeps my skin on POINT! I've been to many estheticians and none are as knowledgeable and communicable as Jas! Even when my skin does act out of norm, I can reach out to Jas and know that she will guide me through the right steps until I'm able to see her again. Been a MUSE since 2017 and have referred my mother, hubby and colleges. read more

After my first visit I knew I would be a regular! Jas is so accommodating, professional and does excellent work... in short, she is awesome :) I was getting my lash extensions done by someone else before finding Muse Maven, and they did not take care of my real lashes properly - Jas has brought them back to life! She has educated me on the do' and don'ts and worked with me to find the best regime for me. I could not be more happy with the service I receive at each visit. I would definitely recommend Muse Maven to everyone! read more

My 2nd time here and what I love is that Jasina is a true licensed esthetician and provides a very personal experience. Great customer service, she always texts you right before your appointment and is very accommodating. She's friendly and my brows/lashes always last for a very long time, longer than what is usually recommended even. read more

Jazz is very professional and knowledgable! She always does a great job and I highly recommend her services if you're looking to learn more about your skin and how to care for it. read more

I mean where do I begin?? First off I was so excited to know that I can get an appointment at 630AM!! Jasina is just lovely! She was up and ready to go such a sweetheart. She took her time and gentle care with me. I had a facial and eyebrow design/tint. She's my new new in Atlanta lol.

Also, she gave me a chest to face massage with my facial what a surprise absolutely amazing I almost cried when she was done lol read more
