I think I just found my favorite aesthetician! I am thrilled to share my experience with the Yelp…read morecommunity, particularly the ladies. I had stumbled onto this place from a groupon offered a couple months ago. The price was right. $27 for a full Brazilian wax. Dirt cheap. But we ladies don't just want affordable. We want a place that's hygienic, friendly, convenient, and pretty. Oh and did I mention as painless as possible?? Well look no further. Lynn is the way to go! Smooth Beauty Studio is located in the Connie Gayle Beauty Centre right on the corner of Beretania and McCully opposite the Shell gas station. Easy to find, lots of parking, and sitting in a convenient part of town. If one judged the interior by the way the outside looked, you'd see women fleeing the scene. The blacked out tint and dated wooden building reminds me of an adult toy store. But once you muster up the courage to walk in, everything changes. The Beauty Centre is bright and clean, buzzing with conversation between the hairstylists and customers. White lights enhance the marble floors. Soft blue tones dance with silver metallics that make the place feel bigger than it really is. As I stopped at the reception desk, Lynn had already pegged me as her next client and we hit it off right then and there! She led me into her studio space that is shared amongst the other aestheticians, all working independently from each other. Lynn was professional and comforting, asking the basic questions like "Have you waxed before?" and "When was your last waxing?" She even mentioned that it was important to keep hydrated the couple days before to help the hair removal process. The wax she used was the most gentle I've ever experienced. Brazilians are painful no matter what, but it makes a HUGE difference when the wax grabs the hair properly and the professional removes it cleanly. She told me to inhale, then ripped at the exhale. What a great tip! Throughout the waxing, she spoke to me about her family of five children who have all grown up, her nice husband Pat, and how she used to run her business from home until it got a bit too busy. I can see why! She's professional, comforting, easy to talk to, and very affordable. Because I was SO impressed with the whole experience, I booked my recheck then and there in 4 weeks. Five stars all the way for Smooth Beauty Studio! THANK YOU LYNN!!!

Spa pedicure... My…read moresad feet has been through so much and since it's been awhile since my last pedi I thought that it was time to give them a bit of TLC. Nadine had found this spot located in Liliha Square right beside Top Tea and with lots of free parking the shopping center provides making this impromptu visit that much easier. Ahhh the massage chair as the simplest pressure had lull me in a trance that has me at ease while the technician worked her magic and noted how my nails were is great as they need it badly. For my toes I do like glitter and as Nadine chose one that's a possibility "Strawberry Daiquiri" I'd say cheers to that color choice! Pedicure range from $30 and up and though I choose the regular color versus gel I do upgrade my services and get that extra massage and love that I've been neglecting making that me time that much better. The staff here is nice and does great services which I do appreciate and don't forget their stamp card where for each visit you receive a stamp and filled card will get you $10 off your next service. Thank you!

It is very secure... not anyone can roam around the second floor which I appreciate! I had my first appointment with her today and she made me feel so comfortable! I started my appointment a little early because she was ready and it maybe took 20 minutes total! This was my first time getting sugaring done for a Brazilian. I've done the at home wax machine but that takes like 2 hours and is the most painful thing ever since you're basically inflicting pain on yourself. I don't know why I didn't start coming here sooner! She makes you feel very comfortable and kind of talks to you while she's doing it so you almost forget what she's doing! Yes it was painful but she makes the whole experience pleasant! I am so excited that my gf told me about this place and to be honest it was quite a peaceful break from my busy work day!

Also, she had an available spot open for me the next day of being in contact with her! Lillian is awesome! She explained exactly what the process was and what she was doing while "sugaring" me. She said that all the products are made of natural ingredients and that the process of sugaring was less painful than waxing. Supposedly the hair grows back lighter and eventually with some maintenance, it doesn't grow back at all! Also, the TV is up high so you can take your mind off of the task at hand. She gets down! hahaha It can be a little uncomfortable at first but she's good at what she does and tries to make you feel as comfortable as possible by talking to you the whole time. I'm so used to waxing so this sugaring thing, wasn't bad at all. She's still pulling out the hairs, however, it's less stressful on your skin. Also, it's cheaper than most spa's that do brazlian waxing. Can't wait to go back to see her again. Don't let the location fool you. The inside of her studio is private and smells nice too. I had an exceptional experience with Lillian! Can't wait to get sugared again! haha

From the very beginning, the entire process was handled with incredible care and attention to detail. My pre-op appointment with Kristine was extremely thorough--she carefully reviewed both pre- and post-operative instructions and took the time to answer every question, which made me feel confident and completely prepared well ahead of surgery. Immediately after that visit, Laura emailed me everything we discussed in clear, detailed written form: pre- and post-op instructions, prescriptions to pick up in advance, check-in times, and all logistical details. There was truly no room for confusion. I felt fully prepared weeks before my procedure even took place. On the day of surgery, the care continued to be outstanding. Ana and Char made me feel calm and comfortable from the moment I arrived--everything from letting me choose my music in the operating room to making sure I was warm and at ease. In recovery, my PACU nurse, Tricia, was wonderful. She ensured I was comfortable, monitored my vitals closely, confirmed transportation details, and made the entire recovery process feel smooth and reassuring. Dr. Ching was exceptional throughout the experience. He checked in with me beforehand, answered all of my questions, and during the procedure itself--done under local anesthesia--he calmly walked me through each step and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Today is my first day post-procedure, and I feel completely fine. I didn't even need to take any of the prescribed pain medication. As someone who had never had surgery before, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the care was truly top-of-the-line.

After evaluating me, they told me they had a laser that could specifically target my matting veins and quoted $500 to treat select areas on both legs. Although this was a big jump from what I initially planned to spend, I agreed based on what sounded like a more specialized and promising approach. However, during the treatment, I immediately had concerns. The laser felt significantly less intense than the IPL and Cynosure treatments I'd previously had, and there was none of the snapping sensation I was used to, something that had typically indicated an effective treatment. What was most surprising and disappointing was the limited treatment area. They only marked off 3-4 small boxes on my legs, whereas prior treatments at a similar price point covered both legs more comprehensively. It felt like the focus was on minimizing effort rather than maximizing results. Unsurprisingly, I saw no improvement. I returned for a follow-up, and they offered to retreat the same areas, again with no results. On my second visit, the provider acknowledged the lack of response and encouraged me to come back a third time to try again. By the third visit, it was clear there was still no progress. After a very brief treatment, I was told (again) to wait a few weeks, and if there were still no results, I could purchase another package. This was after already spending $500 with zero improvement. What was most concerning is that during this process, I was told the laser they had been using is actually more effective for purple veins, not the small red matting veins I have. This was extremely frustrating, given that I had clearly explained my condition from the beginning. Afterward, I consulted with a vein specialist who explained that matting is often very difficult to treat with lasers unless the underlying cause is addressed, something that was never mentioned to me at this med spa. Overall, this experience felt like a costly and avoidable mistake. Had I been given accurate information upfront, I would not have agreed to proceed. Very disappointing.
