She was given a pamphlet with foods to avoid and not much else. She was given $40 back but I don't think it was even worth $110. When someone goes in for help because their face is covered with acne and the person that is supposed to help them tells them that they can't do any of the procedures because their face is too dry and then just gives them pamphlets, I think that person should change jobs. I give you four extra stars for your integrity and appreciate I the refund.

I tried every remedy imaginable, and in December I made an appointment with a dermatologist, whose only recommendation was Accutane, which I specifically had said I did not want to take. Then I remembered a friend mentioning they went to Bakersfield Acne Care and how much they loved it, so I made an appointment. Nondy is so kind and very honest about everyone's specific needs. I was given a list of life style changes to make, and Face Reality products to help with my acne. In addition to these, I was to receive monthly facials to help as well. It has been almost 5 months since I started and my acne has completely cleared! I only have acne scars remaining. I would STRONGLY recommend this to anyone with acne problems.

Once they took her back for the surgery I received a phone call from Dr. Vande Ven approximately 55 minutes later and she said everything went great. 30 minutes later I received another phone call from Tia who took me back to see my wife. Tia assisted me in placing her in a wheelchair and gave me home care instructions prior to leaving. Today's experience was great and all staff were great.

I had breast implants, a tummy tuck, and liposuction with Dr. Jon S. Wilensky on August 17, 2023. I…read morepurposely waited to write this review because I wanted to be fair. Everything I read said to give your body plenty of time to heal before judging your results, so I did. I also kept notes throughout the process because I knew I wouldn't remember every detail later. Looking back, I realize there were red flags from the beginning that I ignored because I trusted the process. My consultation with Dr. Wilensky was done over Zoom. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but looking back, I wish I had insisted on an in-person consultation and gotten a second opinion. During that consultation, I explained that I wanted fuller, perkier breasts and asked about adding a breast lift. I was told I didn't need one because of the position of my nipples, so I trusted that recommendation and moved forward with implants alone. Communication throughout the process was frustrating. My patient coordinator, Dasaree, was very difficult to reach. I was also pressured to pay by a certain date to receive a "special promotion," only to later see the same promotion still being offered. A week before surgery, I was told my procedure had been moved to Bakersfield, meaning I had to make last-minute travel arrangements and ride an hour and a half home after surgery. The day of surgery was also disorganized. I was told to arrive at 10:00 a.m., but my surgery didn't begin until almost 1:00 p.m. after multiple delays. They gave me a credit of $500 for me inconvenience. As my healing progressed, I became concerned with my results. On March 20, 2024, I contacted Beautologie and spoke with Nurse Maribel because I wanted to discuss my concerns. I also continued calling over the following months, but I never felt like my concerns were truly addressed. On October 24, 2024, I had to undergo a revision to remove dog ears on both sides of my lower abdomen. While I understand revisions sometimes happen, I feel too much tissue was removed, leaving my hips uneven and out of proportion. I paid another $500. Now that I've fully healed, I'm disappointed with my results. My breasts don't have the fullness or shape I was hoping for, especially in the upper portion. I'm also unhappy with my tummy tuck and liposuction. I expected a flatter stomach and smoother contour, but that's not the result I ended up with. What disappoints me most isn't just the outcome--it's that I never felt heard when I reached out with my concerns. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts, asked more questions, and gotten a second opinion. Every patient will have a different experience. This is simply mine. I hope it helps someone else make a well-informed decision before choosing Dr. Jon S. Wilensky and Beautologie.

I really wanted to love Skin Gym, but after 3 visits and $645 spent, I've seen zero improvement in…read moremy main concerns--oil control and skin texture. If anything, my skin is way oilier than before. I initially found them on Instagram, where they promote customized plans based on microscopic skin analysis. That analysis was never done during any of my three visits. First visit (11/28/25 - 23rd St): When confirming my appointment I suggest a possible reschedule because I had a concert the same day and was reassured that rescheduling was not necessary as I would be able to wear makeup after. At the appointment, I was told the opposite. I received a lower-strength CSG Smart Peel and was recommended a Gentle Soothing Cleanser ($48) and Hydration Rehab Moisturizer ($120) for oily skin. By that evening, my skin was extremely greasy so I opted to put on tinted SPF to look presentable and not so shiny. As I was applying it, my skin felt so raw. The next day someone called to follow up, and I explained to them what had happened, and they apologized for the experience and stated they would be crediting my account ($50). Second visit (12/20/25 - Allen Rd): I was again given the full company backstory and sales pitch about their patented machine for the second time. I was asked about the microscopic analysis and I informed the esthetician it was not done during my 1st visit/consultation. She stated the machine could have been down and stated it would be noted for my next visit. I also received a "Giving Tree" free mask and was told I'd get 20% off if I returned with their Skin Script card. Third visit (1/14/26 - Allen Rd): Before treatment, I was pressured about joining a $1,000+ membership despite not seeing results. Otherwise each MDSE core workout would be $250 instead of $150. During my facial, I was told the products previously purchased for my oily skin weren't what this esthetician would suggest. That was concerning! At checkout, I tried to use the 20% discount but was told it only applied to add-ons (which was not clearly stated). The interaction with Linzy felt dismissive and uncomfortable, so I declined the moisturizer paid for my workout and left. Overall, this experience felt inconsistent and sales-driven, and my concerns were never truly addressed. Each visit was with a different esthetician who had different opinions and product recommendations. Based on their client photos, it may be a better fit for those targeting wrinkles or acne, but I wouldn't recommend it for oil control. Their logo says "erase 5 years in 55 minutes," but all they erased was over $600 from my bank account in three months.

When I first started, I struggled with consistent breakouts and uneven texture, and now my skin is clearer, smoother, and so much healthier overall. What I love most is how personalized everything feels--they really take the time to understand your skin and adjust treatments as you go. Over time, I've seen such a huge improvement not just in how my skin looks, but also in my confidence. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and relaxing, and you can tell they truly care about their clients and results. If you're thinking about investing in your skin, I can't recommend Club Skin Gym enough--it's been 100% worth it for me.

So talented, I feel that she could cut and highlight my hair with her eyes closed. Front counter, friendly-ish. Overall, the salon is clean and seems very drama-free which is a nice change. And, I was taken in on time for my appointment. At other places, at times I was left sitting waiting 45 min to be seen as the stylists ran late most time being double and triple booked. Nice products at the front(they sell Skinceuticals skin care!) and low pressure sales felt. I bought a really good L'Oreal shampoo in a peach colored bottle that Jaime used on me. It was at a great price point. The cost of the appointment was very reasonable although there was a $15 treatment done that I had not Ok'd but I feel it was an honest mistake. The only other thing I would change is that we lost 75 cents making my appointment on line. What, why? Weird. Will call it in next time. I really liked my results/the overall feel here so see ya in June, Privato! Wee update - fast forward to June. I did not realize Jaime would be unavailable for much of summer so.. enter Jeanette!
