I was curious because I'd never tried a B12 shot before, and I followed up on the offer card provided at check in. The staff were INCREDIBLY warm, welcoming, and generous. They talked me through the process and what to expect--quick poke, a little more energy and wellbeing. And they were totally true to their word. The stick was painless and today, the day after the party where I drank a little more than I probably should have, I'm feeling great. Amelie's hospitality was fabulous--coffee, tea, fizzy water, and a gift bag, plus super-friendly conversation, lots of personal attention, and a totally professional service. These folks clearly know what they're doing and they were so warm and sweet despite the fact I was just taking them up on a freebie offer. And they wouldn't even accept a tip, because they're a med spa! I'll definitely go back for facials and other services the next time I stay at the hotel. The location is great, too--right along the waterfront, in a neighborhood that's easy for parking and walking, with great cafes and restaurants nearby for a post-spa treat. Highly recommend, ten out of ten.

I have already been so impressed with Amélie since I moved here 1 year ago - the location (right on…read morethe waterfront) and med spa is just SO cute, the knowledge and professionalism of the Aestheticians and injectors, the kindest receptionist... you name it, they have it. Today's Diamond Glow facial with Summer just surpassed any treatment I've ever had the last decade of going to med spas. She inspected my face, neck and decollette before starting- she customized the treatment to my skin needs and added on a facial and light therapy that benefited my sensitive skin. Her precision and amount of pressure during the facial and dermaplaning made this type A girl VERY happy and satisfied. The face massage was everythingggg! I'm walking away feeling so beautiful and knowing more about my skin and the small ways I can continue to keep it healthy and glowing. 1000/10 recommend Amélie

Not sure if I had an off experience, but my tea was quite sour and I am someone who likes sour foods. I'm not sure if it had too many lemons or was over seeped. However, other options may be much better.

She did her magic; did my facial and extractions. I'm going to be honest, the extraction part can get a little uncomfortable, but tolerable.

I am writing this review to express my concern regarding an uncomfortable experience my girlfriend…read moreand I had during a recent visit to Ulta Beauty. While shopping, I picked up a BaByliss blow dryer that I was considering purchasing and was carrying it with me while browsing. At some point, the security tag was accidentally triggered. The security guard immediately approached me and aggressively took the item out of my hands, stating that he would hold it at the front of the store. After this interaction, the same security guard proceeded to follow closely behind me throughout the store. No matter which aisle I went down, he remained directly behind me the entire time. His behavior made me feel extremely uncomfortable and singled out. Because of this experience, I ultimately decided not to purchase the blow dryer. While I did still purchase a perfume and lip gloss, the situation left a very negative impression on me as a customer. I felt targeted and harassed, which made what should have been a normal shopping experience very unpleasant. Due to this interaction, I do not plan to return to this location. I hope that this feedback is taken seriously and that steps can be taken to ensure other customers do not have a similar experience.

Subject: Incredible Glam Team - But Disappointing Checkout Experience…read more This was my first time ever having a formal makeup application done, and I didn't know what to expect. I was beyond excited when I was matched with Zachery. He instantly made me feel relaxed and safe--like a kindred spirit. There was no pressure at all. I'm officially a big fan! Mandy, the eyebrow magician, was equally incredible. She chose my color palette and it was absolutely spot on. Her smile is infectious, her energy contagious, and she has a gift for making you feel beautiful. When she tells you that you look amazing, you believe it. I was ready to walk the red carpet feeling like a million dollars... and then checkout happened. Lauren, the cashier, did not greet me. I greeted her as I handed over the makeup ticket and the box for the lashes Zach had applied. She abruptly demanded, "WHERE ARE THE LASHES?!" I was surprised, smiled, and gestured to my eyes--they were on my lashes. There was no response. I tried engaging politely: "How's your day going?" No response. "You're so helpful." Still nothing. When I entered my phone number for points and handed her the slip, she asked, "What do I do with this?" It honestly felt like I was being asked to do her job. After such a warm, uplifting experience with Zachery and Mandy, the checkout interaction left a disappointing final impression. The front register is the last touchpoint customers have, and unfortunately, it undid some of the magic created by your talented artists. Please recognize and celebrate Zachery and Mandy--they are stars. And I hope additional customer service coaching can be provided at checkout, as that final moment truly matters.
