Here's the 411: it's the epitome of cleanliness, and they're dishing out friendliness like it's the new black. Facials? Oh, ma'am, they pamped my pores like they're prepping it for its own Vogue cover shoot! Massage, though? Still on my self-care bucket list. #MassageMystery Now, let's talk about my excursion into the world of 'crossing'. Attempted to cross into the realm of the svelte and trim with their tummy transformation promises. The verdict - I'm every bit the charming fluffy KING I was, just about $2000 lighter! But hey, fluffy is fabulous, and my laughs per dollar ratio is off the charts! So, would I go back? For the royal facial treatment - in a heartbeat. For the 'crossing' - maybe when I'm ready to cross off another comedic adventure. Stay fluffy, stay fabulous, and remember: not all who wander into a spa come out transformed, some just come out with a great facial and a good story. ‍ (Unfortunately, I have no pictures of anything, well I do but I'm not going to show you my fat LOL This is not a peep show .) #SpaDayEveryday #FacialQueen #StayFluffy #FluffyAndFabulous #MoneyWellSpentQuestionMark #BeautyAdventure #GoodVibesOnly #CleanAndSerene #SelfCareJourney #LaughingAllTheWayToTheSpa #HandAndStoneChronicles #FacialsForTheWin #UnfliteredBeautyTalk #$$$AndSmiles

Make sure you're aware that when you start a membership with Hand & Stone that if you try to…read morecancel, you will have to pay an extra month even if you were just drafted and haven't used your balance yet as a 30 day notice fee. This extra month does get credited to your account, but in my situation I find this very unreasonable. I tried to cancel my appointment on the 30th. There's no way to cancel online. I called on the 30th 3 times and couldn't get an answer on the phone. I also tried calling another location that I've been using 4 times with no answer. On the 31st I called again and was able to reach someone the first try. It takes 1-3 business days to process any request that changes your membership whether you freeze or cancel. They suggested I just freeze my account and that they would try their best to get it in before I'm charged on the 3rd. I checked my email continuously the next few days to no avail. Of course, I ended up being charged on the 3rd. Disappointing as I am cancelling due to financial constraints, but I was warned it could happen so whatever. Well today on the 7th I called again to just go ahead and cancel because after consideration I really just don't want the membership anymore due to this. On the phone today I was told that "I called on the 31st, they sent out the email to freeze on the 2nd, and I was billed on the 3rd." However, I received the email to freeze on the 3rd after I was already billed. They then tell me that yes, I will have to pay for an additional month where I will be billed on the 7th of May. So basically, I'd spent a couple hours on the 30th, and most of the day the 31st, 1st, and 2nd stressing over this to only be charged for a service on the 3rd I tried to cancel, then at least freeze believing it would be easier...and now next month I'm going to have to pay an additional $79.99 for a service I don't even want. Overall the services I've received the past few months at the secondary location I'd been using primarily due to it being closer to me were nice, and I loved the staff there. The staff at this location were friendly as far as I've experienced but I've only been there twice and talked to them now twice on the phone. I do feel like it's a little overpriced for what you get, but it is still something nice to do for yourself. My low rating is purely due to the lack of leeway in their membership despite me trying to cancel since the 30th, and no one informing me of their cancellation policy until today. This should be something informed to you when you sign up.

I really really didn't want to like Hanna. I was mad at her. But I can't help this 5 star rating…read more Here is why. I made an appointment for a Saturday facial with her, about 5 weeks in advance. I work full time and I can't just take off for a body treatment. She called me and spoke with me and confirmed the appointment for that Saturday. It was confirmed. I show up exactly at our agreed time on the Saturday we agreed upon. The salon is locked. It is 97 degrees outside and the sun is blazing on me. I wait in the sun for 10 minutes before I give up and call the salon to leave a message about my appointment. I had childcare that day so I could get my skin some much needed attention. It was all paid for. Then I get a call from Hanna. She started telling me how she called and left multiple messages and texts informing me she had cancelled. I told her I've got nothing from her. Then she tells me how I never confirmed my appointment. I remind her that she personally spoke with me on the phone to confirm it. After she is done defending how it's not much of her fault for ruining my Saturday, I lose all my patience and ask her if she had been contacting a wrong number. She realizes that was a possibility. Offers me an alternate day. I had to accept after a 25 minutes argument that she wasn't going to show up and that was a day completely wrecked. It messed with me because spa days are supposed to be relaxing and this woman clearly just didn't get it. She calls me back in a few minutes confirming she had the wrong number all along, a mistake she made noting it down. So why the 5 stars? I got her microdermabrasion facial today. She was AMAZING. She is very talented, but that's not what got her 5 stars. She made me feel like she genuinely made a mistake, she compensated for my childcare expenses with a service and she went above and beyond to make this a great experience for me. It was impossible to stay mad at her. Even when her errs, she wins. As far as her skills are concerned, she is PERFECT. I'll never look for another aesthetician again.

I went down a rabbit hole researching plastic surgeons before making my decision. I was…read morespecifically looking for someone who was board-certified, local, actively involved in research, and committed to continuing education and advanced training. After a lot of searching, I found Dr. Hunter, and I'm so glad I did. From the very first consultation, I knew my experience would be different. Dr. Hunter personally greeted my family and me in the lobby, which immediately made me feel welcome. During my consultation, I shared all of my concerns and the areas I wanted to improve. He listened carefully, never rushed me, and offered thoughtful recommendations based on my goals. I've been to many medical appointments where I've left feeling unheard, but that was never the case with Dr. Hunter. His confidence, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence in my decision. I had my surgery in December, and now that I'm six months post-op, I can honestly say I LOVE the way I look. My results exceeded my expectations while still looking natural. One thing I was initially nervous about was that I didn't see many women who looked like me on the website. However, from beginning to end, I was treated with exceptional care and respect. The hospitality from the entire Amelia team was truly unmatched. Every interaction made me feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, and that meant everything to me. Whenever I had a question or concern, someone responded quickly by phone or email. I never felt like I was navigating my recovery alone. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Hunter and every member of the Amelia team for helping me through this journey. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I've made, and I would recommend them without hesitation. For anyone considering a mommy makeover, my procedure included: * Tummy tuck * Small hernia repair * Breast reduction * Liposuction to the flanks Thank you, Dr. Hunter and the entire Amelia team, for helping me feel confident in my own skin again. I will forever be grateful.

The color which I thought was going to be way too dark has faded. I now wear a taupe to light brown shadow. Of course, as with all the other people who have had it done, I only have a few noticeable strokes, but the shadowing shape, or effect is perfect, and I am very much looking forward to additional strokes today. I have met a couple of people in Durham who had the procedure done at different locations, and I can't really tell the difference. What I am curious to know about is the difference between dry and wet healing... Oh my God - I love my new updated brows!!! See last 3 photos at bottom. They are amazing, and Sara took so much time to make sure they were perfect. She is so kind and caring.
