It was for a full body wax, but when I called to make the appointment, Minda just kept saying "it's soooo much work". I told her that it's fine, I won't buy it if she doesn't want to do it. She said she would still honor the deal but kept repeating it's so much work and would take hours and that Groupon was supposed to take the ad down. It felt like she wanted me to offer to pay more, but I just said it sounds like she doesn't want to do it so I can go elsewhere and she said she would prefer that. I think turning someone away in that way was unprofessional and it made me really uncomfortable that she kept telling me how much work it is. She shouldn't offer a service she isn't willing to follow through with. It was just a very uncomfortable experience.

Throughout the time, there are a few incident of her customer services on how she talks to me seems off and rude. However, I ignored it. Her quality of her work was good when i started and I stayed with her for a couple oF years. Starting last year and this year, her quality of her services been lacking and making excuses of why lashes kept falling off so quickly. It was after 3-4 days, I noticed half of my lashes were off. She used a "bonding agent" on my lashes, and it seems as it was workign. And then she stoppped for whatever reason. I had talked to my other co workers as we also are Havign the same issues with her. My co workers even told me that she wouldn't even put bonding agent on them Even after they told her about the problems as she was trying not to use too much of her materials. There are multiple incidents that I have to wait extra 10 minutes for her to finished her previous clients before my service starts. So the last booking I had with her, I mentioned I would be late for 10 min, since she called me to reschedule the night before since she was sick. So she asked me if I can come in tomorrow and I said yes. It was a Last minute rescheduling from her and I told her I would be late fOr 10 minutes. I got there 8 minutes late. She did her work. And I did felt my lashes weren't full as how it was before. I even asked her, should I give myself a rest of not havign extension so my lashes can grow. She told me ' no, keep coming, try to do it every 2 weeks' so after 3-4 days , half of my lashes were gone again , and I tried to be so extra careful of taking care of it the fact I know it wasn't full since the beginning. And I paid $75.00 and usually I tipped her, but the last two times I didn't because it was just off with her services. I texted her and I asked if it is because "WE" didn't use the bonding agent ( she didn't apply that time ) and she immediately got offended and texted me back that she doesn't do baby lashes ( which makes sense) AnD tHat I was late for 10 minutes therefore I don't get the full services PLUs " thanks for your thoughts this early mornin" I even ignored her attitude problems ( and she does it once awhile if you ask her questions about her work or anything with schedules) I explained to her to let me know how me being 10 affected my lashes and I rather pay extra for that extra 10 min since I drove 40 mins to her room. And I would take notes of it. And she responded unprofessionally telling me not to come back if I don't like her services and her work. This girl, instead of understanding and tryign to work with me professionally and guide me to understand the process . She gets butt hurt and have attitude problems with whatever she is going through. She doesn't really care about her clients or potentially losing them. I would not recommend anyone to go to her for the price she is charging plus her attitude and unprofessionalism manner. I don't usually go out there to write a review like this unless is necessary to protect others for paying $$-$$$$ and then get blame with an attitude with no solutions. I screenshot the conversation between her and myself. See on Photos for the conversation.
