I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Whitney Florin and her team. From the very…read morebeginning, she was incredibly patient as I took my time deciding whether the procedures I was exploring were the right choices for my body and goals. I never felt pressured or pushed into anything unnecessary. Instead, she answered every question thoroughly, made me feel informed, and truly supported me through the entire process. What stood out most to me was how warm, kind, and approachable she is. Going into something like this can feel overwhelming, but she made me feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in my decisions. Even after surgery, I continued to feel supported every step of the way. My favorite part is honestly the follow-up appointments -- they never feel rushed, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about her patients and their recovery experience. Beyond the amazing care I loved being able to support and work with a woman in this industry. I'm so grateful for my experience and would absolutely recommend Dr. Florin to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy surgeon.

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.

Dr. Qazi gave me my face back!…read more In the past I had hyaluronic acid filler placed below my eyes and in my cheeks. I didn't like the result since it added shadows to my face which aged me, so I waited for them to naturally dissolve. But since they were cross-linked, they mostly stayed put. They then migrated and caused lumpiness when I smiled that 5+ dissolving sessions spread out over the years didn't fully resolve. I'll start by saying that my expectations were quite modest going in. But the moment I walked into Dr. Qazi's clinic, I was genuinely stunned. The space is beautiful, modern, and high tech. Frankly one of the most impressive aesthetic clinics I've seen. It's clear that Dr. Qazi has invested in the latest technology and equipment. Once I was called in, the nurse did a scan of my face with a sophisticated imaging device. I've never seen such a device used at any other practice; we usually just go straight into the dissolving session. Then Dr. Qazi came in and performed his ultrasound guided filler dissolution, carefully mapping out the pockets of residual filler. Using ultrasound visualization, he was able to precisely guide the needle into the exact areas where filler remained and dissolve it with remarkable accuracy. His technique was meticulous and clearly the work of someone with deep expertise and experience. What impressed me even more was the outcome. I had actually undergone a similar ultrasound-guided dissolving procedure just a week earlier with a radiologist at another clinic an hour away, which left me with significant bruising. In contrast, Dr. Qazi performed the procedure with zero bruising whatsoever- a testament to his skill! And the price was shockingly reasonable. His treatment cost one-fifth of what I paid at the other ultrasound-guided dissolving clinic, despite delivering far better results. And the improvement in my face was noticeable almost immediately. It felt as though 5 years of age had melted away from my face. The subtle bulkiness that I hadn't even realized was there disappeared, softening the shadows that had been accentuating my nasolabial folds. The lumpiness when I smiled improved dramatically, and I left feeling far more confident in my skin. What also stood out was Dr. Qazi's generosity with his time. He even stayed past normal hours to continue helping me, which I deeply appreciated given that I had traveled all the way to the Bay Area to see him. After several attempts to fix the issue, I'm incredibly grateful to have finally found someone with the skill and technology to address it properly. Thank you Dr. Qazi! I will absolutely be recommending you to others.
