I was travelling to Alabama (from Charlotte, NC) to celebrate my birthday weekend to bear witness to the civil rights movement, and especially to honor those whose lives were taken so brutally (lynchings). Since I was in need of an electrolysis session, I figured I'd take advantage. Zainab replied to my initial email inquiry 8 later. No issue there since I had plenty of time before arriving in Birmingham. We set my appointment for 30 Oct at 2pm. Arriving 15 minutes early, the receptionist indicated which way I should head. I knocked on the door; however, there was no answer, so I thought perhaps Z was treating another client. I went back towards the reception desk asking for the ladies room. After being done in the LR, I headed back to Z's office. (note: I was wearing my face mask & had my cell phone in my hand as was hoping I could charge it since the battery was very low). I knocked on the door again. Z opens the door (no face mask nor shield, no gloves), looking a bit frazzled made me think she had been napping. I said hello & her response to me was "Darlene?" No smile, no "hi"...nothing. She was abrupt and off-putting. Honestly, my initial reaction was to tell her how rude she came across, then to walk off, but I really wanted to have treatment for my chin hairs. I replied with "No, I'm Lola, I have an appt @ 2pm." Again she just looked at me with a puzzled expression, and repeats "are you Darlene, my 1 o'clock appointment? I repeated that my name is Lola, and I added, I don't know about Darlene, but I'm Lola. Then she tells me that her 1 appt never showed up and asks me "do you have a 1 o'clock appt?" Clearly, Z was all kinds of confused. I figured, she's an older woman and obviously, I woke her up from her mid-day nap...I'll cut her some slack and get this quick 15min session over with. I walk in, set my bag on a chair beside a small table and that's when I noticed the available outlet so asked her if I could charge my phone. She doesn't reply, so I said "I'll take that as a yes?" In a curt manner, Z replies "I guess so" I'm thinking, this chick has got the worst attitude !! Before taking my place on the bed/table to begin my treatment, I asked her if she would sanitize her hands before we got started. That immediately set her off. She sanitized them and grabbed for her plastic facial shield, then turning to face me, pointing to her face shield, says "if this is not ok with you, then you can leave"......again, here I wanted to walk out, but I didn't. The treatment starts and I take off my mask, showing her the hairs along my chin. She asked me if I'd had electrolysis before and though she was still less than friendly, at least I appreciated she was curious about my experience with the mode of hair removal. She also went about to make an assessment about my skincare regimen (sounding judgmental about my pigmentation, she must not have realized that I have freckles - ones I'm are quite fond of). At one point I mentioned that being from NYC, I've had all kinds of electrolysis and I was curious about her training. She defiantly mentioned she was schooled in London and said "if that's good enough". Dude, chill out!! End of the session came. Z dabbed a bit of witch hazel on my treated areas. I said "merci, merci" (because she told me she's Iranian - that's a whole other conversation). That was the ONLY light hearted moment she let out a small chuckle. When I get off the table, I commented to her about the "you can leave" remark. She retorted that since I had asked her about sanitizing her hands, she wanted me to know that she had a face shield and that I could leave if that wasn't acceptable. I told her that her remark was off putting. I also reminded her that she was less than cordial when she "greeted" me at the door. Her reasoning: "I was startled." To which I replied, "well, you didn't even say 'hello' and normally one would greet a customer by saying 'hi' or 'hello'.... Z replied: then I guess I'm not normal I paid with my credit card (ZERO tip) and walked out. Final note: I had sent to her a follow up email to inquire about methods of payment she accepts (cash, check, credit card, debit card, Venmo) because I wanted to be sure I was prepared and I usually do not carry much cash on hand. She did not respond to that email, so I sent a follow up request about 1/2 day later....still no response. I would NOT recommend her service. She did not thank me for my patronage and gave the impression she was doing me a favor. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to return. Z has zero affability and an absolutely awful bedside manner!!

I recommend arriving 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment. That gives you plenty of time to check in, change into a robe, and settle in before your services begin. I treated myself to a pedicure and the restorative sleep massage. Peyton showed me to the women's locker room, where we discovered my name was not on any of the lockers. However, that turned out to be a God thing. I changed into a robe and slippers, excited for my experience to begin! A little note for my fellow plus size friends: don't worry, they have robes up to a 4X, which I really appreciated. They also have a beautiful, quiet relaxation room where you can unwind before and after your services. Peyton offered me a complimentary drink and gave me some option. I asked her if they had any non-alcoholic "fancy" drinks. She said they did a prepared a beautiful, refreshing drink and put it in the quiet room for me to enjoy. Milah did my pedicure, and we made a genuine connection while we talked. She did an excellent job refreshing my feet, and I loved that she began the service with aromatherapy. It was such a relaxing touch. She's got many years of experience and I highly recommend her!! Next was my restorative sleep massage with Quanette. Before she began, she took the time to ask about any problem areas and anything she should be mindful of. The massage room was peaceful, beautifully designed, and filled with soft, calming sounds. The massage itself was incredible, everything I hoped it would be and more. When I was ready to leave a huge downpour came, leaving me in the lobby to wait it out. One of the ladies offered me a poncho! Such an unexpected convenience. I will absolutely be back when I'm able to. The entire experience was relaxing, thoughtful, and restorative from beginning to end. It was the perfect way to celebrate 12 years in recovery.

I underwent cryotherapy body contouring at Healing Waters in January 2026 and developed a large…read morecircular area of hyperpigmentation on my abdomen following treatment. Initially, I was told the discoloration was normal bruising and was advised to use a bruise cream. I was also told it would likely resolve within a few weeks. However, the mark remains visible five months later. What has been most disappointing is not simply that a complication occurred, as I understand every cosmetic procedure carries risks. My concern is that there was no meaningful discussion beforehand about the possibility of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and when the discoloration persisted, I was not provided with a clear treatment plan, timeline, refund, or other corrective action. I reached out multiple times, provided photographs, and expressed concern about the persistence of the pigmentation. While I received reassurance that the area was healing, I was not given specific recommendations beyond continued observation. The discoloration has improved somewhat but remains noticeable. Had I been fully informed that a visible mark could persist for five months or longer, I would have weighed my decision differently. I hope that by January (a year later) my scar will resolve. I additionally had paid for 6 colonics upfront but have been hesitant about returning. They have not reached out or followed up with me whatsoever. It's a loss and I feel insecure about this. I encourage prospective clients to ask detailed questions about the risks of pigmentation changes, expected recovery timelines, and what support is available if complications occur.
