As a USCG and CAARNG Veteran, 10 years in social work, 8 years of higher education, and currently…read moreself-employed, and taking a chance to give back to a local Escondido business owner, I received the 1st worst unprofessional facial service provided by Maria. I walked in and felt the rush and anxiousness of Maria. She would toggle back and forth for approximately 20mins with another existing client. Instead of healing hands, my face felt like it was going through a drive through car wash. During the middle of my session (very unprofessional), she answered her phone, and the loud talk began. She would share how her brother just died and how she was worried about her son. I remained silent and somehow it seems, my silence made her uncomfortable. She would then make comments and give her (ignorant) opinion stating, "oh that's why, " when I stated I didn't have children. Which is none of her business, for my son Stephen Lindsey Stacey III, has passed away. There was nothing in Marias rapid anxiousness, which encouraged an open invitation to share. Therefore, I would NOT recommend Maria, for lack of kindness, time management, and a professional capacity to separate interruptions from family life to work/professional life. Now, I am not without empathy. However, Maria did not respect me enough to let me know ahead of time, she was still working with a client, and she was dealing with personal problems, influencing her rapid robotic hands, which may interfere with what should have been complete attention to facial. Had I known this, I would have cancelled. Facials are very personal, a healing time, a time to relax, a time of peace and bringing out the best experience. Based on Maria's lack of care and sensitivity towards my service, I would not return. There was no kindness here.

I was visiting for the weekend and let the owner know at 6am that I had a work obligation and…read moreneeded to reschedule my appointment to the following morning or for another time later that morning. She informed me that there was no other appointments and I let her know that I would try my best to rearrange my schedule but I would be a little late. She assured me multiple times that "Yes, it is fine. Come into the salon anyway and the lash tech will be able to take you." My appointment was for 9:30am. Both the owner and the lash tech had all my contact information. The owner assured me that the lash tech would call or text me and reach out to me prior to my appointment with her availability so that we could arrange another time. The lash tech never called or texted. The salon had ample time to contact me to inform me that I would not be able be have my service done. Since the lash tech never followed up, I had to only have correspondence with the owner who was away on a trip to Vegas. I was on the phone with the owner as I was walking into the salon to confirm yet again that everything was good to go and that I would be able to have my lashes done. After hanging up with owner and upon entering the lash salon I was greeted very rudely by the lash tech who - instead of just politely asking to reschedule or letting me know the options she would be able to complete in the given time frame - immediately asks me "What's the reason you need your lash's done today?" "Is there a reason?" which was very off putting. I had prepaid already for my Full Volume Lash Set and since I'm visiting only for the weekend I had to order pick up & drop off to the salon. I told her I was visiting and wanted the volume set I had pre-purchased. She told me that she couldn't do anything about it. She kept repeating that she didn't have time and refused my service. The owner had given the lash tech all my contact info at 6am. If that was the case and she knew she couldn't fit me into her schedule she should of had the common courtesy of informing me herself before having me go out of my way to the salon after having to rearrange my schedule to accommodate her. The lash tech never offered to reschedule for another time for the weekend and never offered to refund my prepaid amount while I was in the salon. I had to call the owner yet again while she was away on her trip to have her do a refund, which was very unpleasant and unprofessional. Poor customer service.

Especially interested in incorporating the lymphatic drainage treatment to my next visit. She has a magical demeanor and touch that certainly helps to regulate the nervous system! Highly recommend her!

Scammer. I booked through ClassPass, she emailed me asking to call her about my appointment. I…read morecalled and she asked me to pay an additional $100 (and that that was "a generous discount") since "that service is no longer provided." I pushed back and said no, because I booked this service using all my class pass credits, she replied, "that's class pass's problem." When I requested proof of her trying to charge me or change my service so that I can show class pass in order to not be charged a cancellation fee, she said no and hung up on me. I have proof of all of this. Luckily, I sent the proof to class pass and got my credits back. I was excited for this service as it was a treat for myself for my 30th birthday. Very unprofessional and suspicious business behavior. Do not book.
