I originally came here for Vbeam because it's surprisingly hard to find in Los Angeles. I'm so glad…read moreI found this place! Ornella has the patience of a saint. she answered my million questions without ever making me feel rushed. Everyone here is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and honest. They take the time to explain everything before your treatment and give you detailed post-procedure instructions, so you always know exactly what to expect. I never felt like I was just another appointment. The office is beautiful, the prices are fair, and the entire experience has been fantastic. If you're looking for a med spa in West Hollywood that genuinely cares about its patients and makes you feel comfortable from start to finish, I highly recommend them!

Update to my prior review: After my original review, Zavant…read moreAesthetics publicly responded and asked me to contact the office directly so they could "resolve this." I did exactly that. I made another appointment and specifically requested to speak with management beforehand. I was then told that no complimentary treatments would be offered and was again referred to the consent form because it states that hair regrowth can occur after treatment. That response continues to mischaracterize my concern. My issue is not ordinary regrowth. I developed a substantial increase in hair compared with my pretreatment baseline after laser hair removal -- a recognized complication known as paradoxical hypertrichosis. Paradoxical hypertrichosis is a known, documented complication of laser hair removal; reported incidence is measurable and in some anatomical areas substantial. Because it represents worsening of the exact condition being treated, a reasonable cosmetic patient could consider it material to the decision to proceed. The consent form only warns of incomplete reduction/regrowth and hormonal growth, not laser-induced increased hair growth. That distinction is important. Telling a patient that some hair may grow back is not the same as informing them that the treatment itself can potentially stimulate more, darker, thicker, or denser hair than was present before treatment. I am not criticizing Zavant simply because a complication occurred. As a physician, I know that complications can occur even when a procedure is performed appropriately. My concern is the informed-consent process and the way this complication has been handled afterward. I was still willing to return and explicitly stated that I was willing to pay for another treatment. Despite that, my appointment was canceled and I was told that this was "standard procedure" until the manager, who was reportedly on vacation, could review the matter after the manager stated that my consent covered my concern and no complimentary treatments would be given. I then asked the person communicating with me to provide their name and asked whether there was an interim manager available while the manager was away. They would not even identify who I was speaking with, and no interim management contact was provided. In my view, that is highly unprofessional, particularly when dealing with a patient who is attempting to address a complication and follow up on the practice's own public invitation to resolve the matter. What is especially concerning is that the practice continues to rely on consent language about ordinary "regrowth" rather than addressing the actual complication I experienced. Patients considering laser hair removal here should specifically ask about paradoxical hypertrichosis and what the practice will do if treatment results in increased hair growth rather than reduction. I had hoped this could be handled professionally and amicably. Unfortunately, the combination of an incomplete disclosure of this specific risk, repeated characterization of paradoxical growth as ordinary regrowth, cancellation of my appointment even when I was willing to pay, and refusal to identify the person communicating with me has only increased my concern about how this matter has been handled. Below is a copy of my consent which clearly delineates hair regrowth and does not discuss the possibility of worsening/thickening of hair paradoxically. I believe this is not in good faith. I will not be referring patients to this practice again.

The Beauty of Joseon is holding their first pop-up ever in Los Angeles called 'Rice Wonderland' on…read moreMelrose Avenue. Be prepared, as lines can be long. I went on Saturday and waited over an hour. What's special is that you can sign up for the event and get 20% off all products, which is rare for the Korean cosmetics line because they usually don't go on sale. For this special event, they have a limited edition line of tinted sunscreens that come in various shades, so you can color-match your skin with the various samples. It was hard for me to find the right one initially, but I went with the Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen MP200, which has a pink undertone. You'll notice the second letter of the item will have a 'P' or 'N'; 'P' stands for pink, and 'N' stands for Neutral. The pink undertone works better for me. So once you get in the store, you'll be given a program/booklet. You'll want to write your name and the last four digits of your phone number, and in the program, it'll have the products, and you can list the quantity of each product you want. You give your booklet to the team members, and they'll call you when they're ready. The event has a rice bar with rice treats and a photo booth. The space is small, but you can chat with the representatives to learn more about the various products. Their most popular product is the TikTok viral sunscreen, but due to FDA regulations, the Korean version can't be sold in the States. So Beauty of Joseon had to pivot and create a new sunscreen, so check it. It was pretty good, but overall, it was a cool event!

The place was well decorated and they offered yummy free Korean treats such as unlimited pink sikhye, peppero, and Yakgwa.

They also had a fun Photo Booth where you got a picture and free skincare samples after! We bought two serums there and got 20% off on top by attending the pop up. Great event for learning new products and sampling in order to be better educated to buy!

So, you've heard about eating clean, right? Did you know that Europe bans a great many more makeup…read moreingredients than the USA? Have you thought about how much you know about what you are putting on your face? Really, who has the time to look up all the ingredients in each one of their beauty products? Luckily, you don't have to do the work because Detox Market has done it for you. They only sell, clean, organic, vegan brands of makeup and skincare so you can be confident about what you put on your face and body. I'm so glad there's a place like this. They have a list of banned ingredients that they will not carry in their store. You can find the list on their website. I purchased some cream eye makeup from the brand MOB that the associate suggested when I told her I was looking for eyeshadow. It's creamy and goes on smooth. I'm using it every day and I love it. I'm glad I can be confident knowing it is a clean brand. Price was comparable to other brands of eyeshadow. Detox Market has a rewards program. You get $5 for every $100 you spend. Service was nice and attentive. I was greeted when I walked in and got my questions answered. They let me sample the products before I made my purchase. Also, your purchase comes in a cute reusable bag. This company is both clean and green! Metered parking available. There are other locations in Santa Monica, New York and Toronto. They also offer skin consultations, makeup lessons, and makeup application.

This is my second time getting a supercharged peel with Face Bar. They just moved to a brand new…read morelocation in West Hollywood. They're basically a tenant in an acupuncture office, which can be pretty awkward. I think the best is to just wave down anyone that walks in and let them know what you're there for. I definitely like the previous office better. Apparently the acupuncturist validates, but I'm still not sure if Face Bar does. I ended paying $10 for parking. I think street parking would be a better bet. I previously called a week before my appointment and left a message on their voicemail since their website said call if you'd like to see if there were other time slots open. No one ever called me back. Updated: Tricia, the owner, reached out after my appointment to address some of my concerns and she said that the switch from the offices was very new and there were some problems with the phones. I appreciated her caring enough about customer service to reach out. My second peel didn't peel as much as the first one. It took 6 days to completely stop peeling.

Have you ever been to one of this place where the products/service sold give great results but the…read moreowner is rude and doesn't know how to treat their clients. The face bar is one of these. I had a bad experience with owner Tricia over the phone almost forcing me to go to the appointment scheduled when I couldn't not make it on time because otherwise I would get charged anyway even if I could not make it telling me that the "system" wouldn't let her reschedule my appointment for another time. Come on now let's be real ! Every time a business owner tells you "the system" won't allow me to do this or that, it is a terrible excuse and it is more called unwillingness and they just want to take your money. Now not only was I surprised at the reply but also at the way she was talking very rudely. I am pretty good at keeping my cool but this lady made it hard that day specially after looking for their new location which is the reason I was late because I first went to their previous location and wasn't aware of the change and then being told "well it was on the website, you should have looked". Now back to the product/service itself it has always worked for my skin so well, it is quick 30 min and after 4/5 days of peeling your skin looks great and if you keep it consistent for 3 months the results are even better. It is one of the reason Why i kept coming back and also because of Monica and Aimee who were really good but who unfortunately they both no longer work there. Something is telling me that if the owner doesn't treat their clients right, she must not treat their employees great as well. But anyway to conclude the minute I find a product that works as great as what she offers I won't come back. I like to support great business run by great people. Check out the other negative reviews too it is pretty crazy.

The ladies even told me that they hold free classes, too on how to apply makeup, do your hair, etc. but when I got home to check, classes were all full.

At one point I was looking at a very expensive perfume, and she said, "I can give you a discount on that." Odd, because this is Ulta, not a garage sale, but okay.

She wanted me to apply for an Ulta credit card. That was the scheme. The whole thing felt scammy and gross. I ended up spending more than I expected, and I left feeling deliberately misled. I don't know if Ulta encourages this or if it was just this salesperson, but I have no desire to come back.
