From start to finish my experience with Dr. Florin and her team has been amazing…read more My spouse and I came from out-of-state to meet with Dr. Florin after speaking with a family member that had a positive experience with her. Cosmetic surgeons are a dime a dozen, but you never really hear about someone having an especially great experience. I am SO GLAD that we made the journey! From the very first consultation, Dr. Florin was attentive, articulate, and personable. When I explained what I wanted she was very knowledgeable in explaining the processes, recovery and likely outcomes of the procedures. She did not attempt to talk me into or out of the concerns, corrections or enhancements that I wanted for my body. My spouse and I did not feel rushed or uncomfortable and were able to ask all of the questions (and receive the answers) that we wanted. Aside from the small amount of general discomfort experienced after having any surgical procedure, I was amazed at the lack of pain, mobility issues or bruising that I experienced. I followed the instructions of Dr. Florin and her team to a T, and my outcome has really been incredible. From the office manager Angel, to Dr. Florin's nurse Dayra, the team is communicative, available and personable. Really just overall amazing! I work an extremely demanding job both mentally and physically. My uniform and gear now fit me better and are unencumbered. I feel truly grateful to have found the best of the best when it came to my personal well-being through this experience. Thank you Dr. Florin and Staff

I absolutely love Dr. Florin! She is so talented at what she does, but what really stands out to me…read moreis how intelligent and genuinely passionate she is about her work. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and the results she creates. I've personally had my lips and nose filler done by her, and I've been so happy with my results. I've also seen her breast augmentation work through a friend who went to her, and her results are beautiful! The office itself has such a warm, welcoming feel, and everyone on the staff has been so kind. I'm always a little nervous when I get filler, but her MA was incredibly sweet and made me feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time. I honestly couldn't recommend Dr. Florin more. If you're considering anything aesthetic, I would definitely go see her! I also heard she's starting IV therapy in the office, and I can't wait to go back and try it.

First of all, it has been two hours since I was in this stores and I am still appalled by what has…read morehappened. At 1:15 P.M. Pacific Standard Time in the Newport Beach Cos Bar on Friday June 30th 2023, I entered the beauty store for my first and definitively LAST time. The moment I walked in to the store I heard lots of unpacking and since I had walked this street before and never noticed this store before, I asked if the store had just opened, to which a blonde lady told me "no" and I playfully said "really? I've been here before and I never saw this store" (the storefront is relatively small) to which an employee told me something along the lines of "clearly you weren't looking that hard." I brushed off this encounter and approached a table with foundation. I was in a rush that morning and had zero makeup on, so I took this opportunity to try on a new foundation brand that I didn't know existed. No one helped me. I chose the shade myself and then when to the small mirror on the counter to look at the shade. Then an older blonde White female employee came up to me... I told her I didn't know La Mer foundation existed, and she made a rude face to me. I told her that I have acne, and wanted to see how it looked. She said you me "you have breakouts, you don't have acne. If you had acne it would look different." At this point, I already had foundation on my face so how would she know? Also according to Healthline.com, breakouts are acne, so what is she talking about? She then told me I needed tinted foundation. She rudely told me I picked the wrong shade even though she wouldn't show me what shade I needed. She told me I needed tinted foundation, without helping me find what shade of tinted foundation. She told me I need to use bronzer, without telling me what kind of bronzer to use or how to use it. The constant scrutiny and baseless and confusing remarks made me feel hostile atmosphere. The final and most strong evidence of horrendous behavior came when I was looking in the mirror. I was looking at an adjustable mirror sitting on the counter and she took her hand as she was standing behind the counter and tilted the mirror, so I could no longer see myself in the mirror. The mirror was in front of my but after she tilted it, in was no longer in the view. I WAS ACTIVELY LOOKING AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR AND SHE MOVED THE MIRROR SO I COULD NO LONGER SEE MYSELF. Being naive and confused as to what was happening I took the handheld mirror next to the original countertop mirror I was looking at, and used it to look at my skin instead, while she stared at me in silent anger. How horrible you are. I am not sure if this was about race but I am an Asian woman while she was White. Appalling. I am hoping this store has surveillance cameras so they can pull up the footage and corroborate exactly what I've been talking about. Absolutely disgusting. Shame on you. Crazy. (BTW go look at the other bad review, clearly this shop has something against Asian women) I also had a spoke with the store director named Michelle, who claimed that employee whom I had a horrendous experience with was named Eraine.

This is my go-to store for any Asian brand beauty items (e.g. skincare, makeup, hair, softest…read morecotton pads, etc). I love going here because I get to try things before I commit to purchasing. It's never crowded and parking is much more reasonable than other places. The store is very bright. They have so many things to try and they sell individual sheet-masks so that you can sample it at home before committing to purchasing the full pack. Everything is reasonably priced and you don't have to wait for shipping! They have a small table for clearance items by the front door and carry some Asian snacks towards the back. I've bought so many Korean/Japanese brand make-up/skincare products from here like PeriPeri, Shiseido, Hera, Kahi, Innisfree, Naturie, Clio, SK-II, Cle de Peau, and more but too many to list. ***If you've never had luxury soften cotton pads, I suggest you to purchase one from here!! Don't sand your skin with cotton pads you buy from your local market or retailer store*** Also, they have a loyalty points reward system so make sure to sign-up! NOTE: most items are in a different language so pull your phone out and use the photo translate feature. Sometimes the staff can help with translation, but when they can't they will give you an idea what it is or they'll look it for you.

The Newport location is beautiful but I prefer the Corona office because it is a quicker drive from Westlake Village. I often turn it into a day trip and it is always worth it. Sherry the office manager is the sweetest and answers whenever I need help. Dr. B is amazing and very personable. They never pressure you into additional work and always focus on what is best. He has done excellent work on my lips with great natural looking results. The dental block makes the lip procedures almost painless which was hard to find locally. I also start taking arnica a few days before to help reduce any potential bruising. I plan to return next month and highly recommend them for their professional and reliable service.

Dr. B has an incredible eye for detail, his technique is flawless, and he consistently delivers beautiful, balanced results.

I wish I would have done this years ago! I've stopped grinding my teeth and my jaw pain is completely gone. I've seen both Tina and Heather and loved them both. I later decided to try the Radically Radiant (micro needling treatments) and am very happy with the results. I appreciate that the manager and staff always remember me.

The staff was unprofessional, unfriendly, and rude. The general manager, Val, was especially unpleasant to deal with and did not handle my concerns in a professional manner. I received lip filler from Diana that did not turn out properly, and I had to go somewhere else to have it dissolved and redone. This resulted in me spending a significant amount of additional money because of this experience. I have tried multiple times to reach someone above Val through emails, texts, and phone calls to address my concerns, but I have received no response. The lack of communication and customer service has been extremely frustrating. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this med spa.
