I loved how the hours were so flexible, and I was fortunate to schedule an appointment for the same day that I had called. I loved the interior, very relaxing. Can't say that I was impressed by my facial though. I chose this place because it was on the best of citysearch, and I was disappointed. I was expecting a beatdown, because I know that you need one to get rid of blemishes. I was surprised that my extractions were almost painless. During my extractions, I mentioned a stubborn blemish right above my lip, and my girl said that she saw it. She told me that the only thing I could do was to wait for it to break out. But it already broke out, and that's how she saw it. I went in today, and now the pimple is bigger. Great. The massage was nice, but not the best. The staff was great, but I would've liked for my lady to recommend treatments at home, or tell me how often I should come in etc. I wouldn't say that I'm too particularly picky, but I still have visible blemishes left on my face. And I can do better extractions on my nose. Why is it so hard for me to find a facial that is comparable to Christine Chin in NY? Does anyone have suggestions?

Pros: hours of operation, free parking, text message discounts, massages

Cons: poor acne facials

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience at the Center. We understand how frustrating it is to come in with certain expectations and to leave without the results you were looking for. It sounds as if you were with one of the less aggressive estheticians at the Center. Because blemishes are typically at different stages, estheticans may have to make a judgment call as to whether an extraction will do more harm than good. Some are agressive, while others take a more conservative approach. If done properly, both methods can be effective, but without a long term treatment plan-which it sounds like you didn't get- a conservative approach will show fewer results. I know you had a bad experience, but if you ever decide to come back, our general manager would love to speak with you about how we can make it up to you. We'll match you with the right esthetican for your needs, and make sure you get a complete home treatment plan. We look forward hearing back from you.
