    I should have known better before trying a place that I saw on Instagram, that's on Newbury! 1. Space is clean but look very dark and dodgy. Neon lights in the bathroom, tiny changing rooms. 2. They never cleaned my face property even though I said twice I have makeup on, including mascara. How can you do a facial on a face that's not cleansed. See photos of what I took off when I got home (I don't even wear much makeup). 3. The person that was doing facial said I should do a different one so my skin is more glowy (I was in the dodgy room at this point). I asked what the price difference was and she said it was the same today for me. I said fine. She was using terms I had no clue about. I said fine do it. She started scraping my forehead. I asked what she was using and she said it's a scalpel. You gonna be kidding me! I told her to stop immediately. Today is day after and whatever she did on my forehead my skin is burning still the next day. I am using a lot of calendula. 4. At the end she went to upsell me on a bunch of the products they had there, which looked like they were home made and self packaged. No control over beauty industry! 5. This is a typical instagram / millennial place. Aesthetician was pretty clueless and the overall experience was terrible. Don't fall victim of influencer feeds like I did!

    Relaxing facial and really knowledgeable staff. My skin feels amazing, though the appointment ran a bit longer than expected

    I gave a Father's Day gift to my husband and he loved it . He liked the luxury feel of the facial.

Once I started the treatment series, she's always very friendly and personable upon arrival and my experience overall has been very good. I would definitely recommend SkinMD.

    two overall negative experiences with tattoo removal and lash treatment:…read more tattoo removal: very expensive for tattoo removal compared to Removery. They don't use ice before treatment or cold air to make you more comfortable so the process is very painful and unbearable. They don't let the tat air out after and cover it with bandages causing lots of friction and irritation over the wound right after treatment. basically the way they do the treatment is as expensive and as painful as possible compared to other places that offer the same treatment. lash treatment: I also bought their lash serum. they don't tell you how to use it responsibly or that you should take long breaks from the treatment. nor does the manufacturer who I reached out to. If you do your own research, there are lots of risks and warnings. although it made my lashes extra nice, it caused discoloration of my actual eyes. I went to the eye doctor and they told me it would likely be permenant damage. they also tell you the lashes will stay that way, but they return to normal when you stop using the product and you must stop for long periods to use it safely and stop all together if it damages your eyes (which I did.) To make matters worse they called me to dispute my review. I told them I wasn't interested unless they were calling to apologize and refund me. After expressing my disinterest in further discussion and hanging up, they called and texted me asking me to remove my review because it was "misleading". As if having my experience dismissed and harassing me is going to make me take down my review...

I was absolutely blown away how patient and kind she was during the consultation: nothing like anything i've experienced in the past. We talked about my goals and while I originally was planning to get filler & Botox after the consultation, we decided to take it slow and just go for Botox this time. I am extremely happy with my results (masseter muscle Botox for jaw clenching) and wish I would have taken the plunge sooner. My grinding has reduced by probably 90% and my jaw pain has improved so much that I didn't even need to use a supportive bite block at the dentist during my last visit, which I typically need 10 minutes into my exam. I booked a second visit for chin filler and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. It looks so subtle and natural, balancing my side profile exactly where I wanted without losing my cleft chin, which I wanted to keep. Thank you again Christina for all your amazing work!

    I've been coming to Skin Spa for a while now. A friend recommended them after she went here before…read moreher wedding. I saw a deal for them on Gilt so figured, why not try them out. I got a facial and massage my first time there and have been hooked ever since. I get regular hydrafacials here and started laser hair removal too. The hydrafacials have really transformed my skin. I love them and always leave there glowing. The laser treatments have been going well so far - I wouldn't call them fun or relaxing by any means but they're effective! The staff here has always been super lovely. My usually aesthetician moved this year so I started going to new people (I can't remember their names) but they're also lovely. I'll also note that spa treatments are not cheap but skin spa ALWAYS has a deal going on so you can get good discounts and once you purchase a service, it doesn't expire. I love them.

    I agree with Carissa one of the reviewers. I too have been trying to get a refund for a year now…read moreand keep getting the run around. NY offices and managers are no use. Kourtnii Koontz, the manager, assured me I would have my refund check in the mail months ago. Today she won't even answer my email and when I called the NY office I was told by the manager that she works from home. It may be time to get attorneys involved and report the company to the Better Business Bureau. Meanwhile they opened a new spa in NYC!!
