I was looking for a place that used Face Reality products as they have worked well for me in the past. I made my appointment through the online booking platform which was super easy and straight forward. I got a confirmation and reminder emails and texts. The day of, the place was hard to find as it is part of this big complex and there are two suites labeled "250." I went to the first suite 250 and it was under construction. I tried to call to confirm the location...no answer. When I finally found the right suite it was dark and no one was there. I sent an email and called but have still not gotten any response. I have gotten facials and waxings from many business which are self-run but still good about texting/communicating with customers. I drove over an hour for this appointment so I am very disappointed.

I can't say enough about Emilie and E Skin Forte. I have struggled with hormonal acne well into my…read more30's and had pretty much resigned myself to the seemingly never ending cycle of embarrassing breakouts on a monthly basis. I heard of E Skin Forte from a family member and was skeptical since I had seen numerous aestheticians in the past with no success. But I am so glad I gave her a try. I enrolled in the Acne Bootcamp program and it does take some discipline to follow the skincare routine daily but my skin has never looked better and best of all - no more acne!!! I am finally free. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT. Really worth the cost and time. Thank you Emilie! She also has a number of other skincare programs for aging, oncology, relaxation, hair removal, etc. She is incredibly knowledgeable about skin and skincare. On top of that she's so friendly and cheerful like a ray of sunshine. I look forward to all my appointments with her.

Denude med was recommended by a family friend. I set up a consultation appointment for laser hair…read moreremoval. First impression of the building is that it's old and it's in the heart of Annandale, inside is very dated as well. The spa is located on the 2nd floor and has a very corky decor. The lady was signed me up was named Parisa and seemed a bit cold when she gave me the form to fill. After waiting another 20 minutes, I was called in, the room was clean but small. She explained the process and answered all my questions. She asked me to laser a small part of my leg to see how I react. Let me tell you it was terrible. The machine would suck my skin gently and shot heat as it let it go. My leg was burning the entire day. She did apply tea tree oil on the spot. If you ever had a feeling of your skin burning that's how it felt all day. Not sure what machine they sure but from what I remember it was Lumise or something similar. I won't be going to this place just coz it didn't feel like the right laser to me. I have seen over laser machines. Btw $200 for the whole body but all that burning feeling for a whole day or night is not worth it to me.

Treatment: whole arm laser removal Price: reasonable, I paid under $200 for 6 Treatment with a groupon Result: So far so good. I will update my review once I've finished my treatment Waiting Time: I always on time but always has to wait extra 15-20 minutes for my treatment Treatment Time: Very quick, under 15 minutes. One time zip though, cover all upper arm area. I like the laser suction machine (Lumenus Light Theer Duet). No discomfort. Appointment: The place seems alway booked up quickly. It's better to book way in advance and make an appointment right after the treatment while you are there. It is open on Sat which is a big plus. Parking:There is a private parking in front of the building and always a spot available. Service: very good. I forget to shave one time and the lady just did dry shave for me. She is more concern of my discomfort from the laser after dry shaving then the fact I forget to shave. One time I totally forget and miss my appointment, they let me reschedule without deduct one treatment from my package. Everyone is very polite here. Product: they also sell most Obagi line & Latisse (extend eyelash) product here which is convenience. Regular price compares to other med spa. Tips: shave ahead of time. Buy numbing cream and apply 30-60 minutes prior to treatment if you can't tolerate pain too much. ( I use Dr. Numb purchased from Amazon)

Her shop is in an unexpected location, but this means there's no noisy foot traffic, cars honking, or people talking loudly during your facial. Nice and quiet! If you are looking for an excellent facial administered at a reasonable price, you need to make an appointment with Karen. MINI UPDATE: Karen phoned me three days after my facial to check in and make sure everything was okay with my skin. She also sent me a 'thank you' postcard with a 15% off offer for products. Great customer service!

I have been a fan of Dermalogica products since Karen introduced me to them years ago. As my skin has changed over the years, Dermalogica's comprehensive line of products and Karen's expertise have kept my skin healthy and radiant. Gentle, thorough brow and lip waxing are great for my somewhat sensitive skin. Her technique partnered with the serene atmosphere of the facility makes for an amazing, relaxing experience for the mind as well as the skin.

She really is a kind, knowledgeable, patient, and fantastic person. As an esthetician, she's…read morephenomenal. She know what she's doing, she talks and walks you throughout the process. As for laser, this is my two cents and my experience. I've researched a lot of places and a lot about laser hair removal - having someone recognize and understand how to treat people of color is vastly important to the laser hair removal experience. I first started with my underarms and after my first session i saw great results. And so I decided to do the full body hair removal. Interesting fact, different parts of your body are of different tones so it requires a different intensity of laser. She will test the skin type & color w a small device and adjust the laser accordingly. Pain wise if you're wondering - I have a relatively high pain tolerance and waxing doesn't really hurt for me - laser felt like a dull needle poking at my skin for like 5 seconds. The process is very fast if you've prepped well. Prep includes shaving against the grain before your visit & being clean! She's really kind, patient, and quite thorough. I very much recommend getting laser if you're tired of waxing / shaving and I recommend it with her. She's very knowledgeable and very good at her art. I was VERY skeptical about the process but I see short term results and am being patient for the long term results! I have about 4 more sessions - will update then! :) Can't tell you enough about how great the experience is end to end. 20/10 recommend.

Let's talk about first impressions. When you meet the esthetician who is about to discuss the procedures and goals you want to achieve, their appearance and confidence matter. I was immediately impressed by Sahar's glow. I remember saying, "I want this glow! Whatever procedure you had done, I need that -- forget what I thought I wanted!" (Haha.) That's exactly the kind of esthetician you want trusting with your face -- someone who embodies the results they help others achieve. Of course, results are important, but clients also have to do their part by following aftercare instructions, staying hydrated, and trusting the process. Every time I have a procedure done, I leave amazed by my results. For me, this has truly been an investment in myself, and it's one I never regret.

Things I absolutely love about this business: - during my first consultation, Kristian took a look at my skin, asked me my concerns, my skin care routine, etc. she then emailed me with a relatively simple skincare routine that was not filled with super expensive products and recommended products that complemented the current products I use. Wasn't sales-y at all and I loved it. - she also recommended services they offer that would again complement my existing skin se routine (which made me feel like, she was truly interested in adding to what I have going on, not replacing) - I only did one laser facial...BUT I'm convinced pairing the facial with the skincare routine she recommended, my skin was noticeably different. - now...when I went in for tox for my birthday...ICING ON THE CAKE! They explained everything so perfectly, again...administered injections based on what I wanted (didn't wanna look frozen, but wanted some limited movement) and I am now obsessed. I may or may not have spent the last two months showing off my wrinkle free forehead to my friends as my new party trick. - the office is SUPER nice. You feel like you're walking into an office or the future. It's so bright, So clean and they offer you water and snacks while you wait. Overall- really enjoy the staff. I love how they explain EVERYTHING to you and are very patient with newbies.
