    Our first interaction
    Jenna L.

    Given all of Mel's stellar reviews and the way I responded with understanding when she cancelled my appointment 3 different times on the day of, I really do not understand why she treated me so horribly - other than I was trying to book with a Groupon that my kids had bought me for Mother's Day. You can see from the texts that I was supportive of her needing to reschedule the first time because she was working on her finals for her landscape architect degree. I cheered her on. I thought it was great she was furthering her education and even asked about it later. The next time, she really didn't give a clear reason because she initially offered the time slot and then the day of said she needed more time than that appointment would allow, but again, I was fine with it and booked another time slot. It's now been ten days and the morning of my third appointment she texts me that she is in pain and needs to reschedule. She said it might be her gall bladder or she might be dying. She offered me some slots, including ones that were two weeks away. But I have a new job and a wedding coming up and wanted to make certain I have time to heal beforehand. I running out of time. At 9:26 am, she offered me the slot for the next day at noon. One minute later, I responded with "OK," and asked her how she knew she'd be better. I told her if she wasn't better tomorrow, that I'd understand and I'd ask for a refund from Groupon. I was not rude or aggressive. She has cancelled last minute 3 different times and I was still polite. You can see by the texts, that is when she became belligerent and started lying about the appointment. I immediately said ok to the appointment time and then tells me she took me off the calendar. She said I didn't confirm, but I had said ok one minute after she offered it. Mel was not apologetic in the least and it was apparent she didn't care about providing me any kind of customer service or consideration for her repeatedly cancelling at the last minute. I was so excited to get my eyeliner done again. And my kids were happy they got me a gift I liked so much. It is a shame that Mel seems to resent people wanting to use the Groupon that she offers because she said she loses money. Then why offer it? It's a marketing expense. Please don't be nasty because I pay you money for your services exactly as you advertised on Groupon. I wouldn't recommend her at all. She may do good work (or not, I never had the chance to find out for myself), but she seems to be a seriously vindictive person and lacks good customer service skills. In the end, not someone I want with a needle near my eye. I could only image how she'd react if she messed up the procedure. Just like the way she behaved with canceling on me, she probably would fail to take responsibility for that as well. Bad luck is what she said about her cancelling over and over. It's sad that she tainted my kid's Mother's Day gift, but I'll find someone else and re-write my experience to end on a good note.

    Mel is my favorite girl to go to for my peels and skin care needs! With my peel she always give me a deep hydrating mask plus she'll do some red light therapy on me as well ! She's always super friendly and knowledgeable on all of her products and always gives me helpful information on things I can do at home to help boost the treatments effectiveness. Her Shop is very cute and clean and I have never had a bad experience with her.

    Pretty set up and very peaceful

    I has a great experience at Mel's. She was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She explained and walked me through the whole bleaching process. I'm really glad I found her! I'll def be coming back.

    I had a great experience today! I definitely recommend trying this place out (:  #spa

I went in for a…read moreconsultation and got talked into getting a dermabrasion facial and was told I'd probably need 10 to clear up my skin. I was told as well that my skin would get worst but slowly get better as I had facials. Well it definitely got worst after the first one. Vivella has a cancellation policy where you need to cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment. That being said, for my second facial they e-mailed me I believe a day or two before my next appointment to confirm. They then emailed me the night before my appointment to cancel. I didn't see it till the next morning and came to my appointment anyways and waited outside for maybe half an hour before I checked my email. The following time Mary who did my one facial and consolations came late and talked me out of getting a facial. Once again my skin was pretty bad and said I didn't need it. I honestly think she just didn't want to do it. I ended up never coming back and ended up going on acutane, against her advice, and my skin has never looked better (with some scaring still but no acne or redness). Vivella has been very unprofessional in how they handle their clients by forgetting about them and emailing last minute when their clients have to pay a fee to cancel their appointments in advance. Service wise I couldn't really say because I never completed my treatments but unprofessional in how they conduct their business.

Melissa and Cynthia are truly exceptional providers!!! Thank you for helping correct my skin! I've never felt so confident without wearing makeup!! (: From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt clean, modern, and very professionally run. The front desk team (special shout out to Emily & Tima!) was warm, organized, and respectful of my time -- check-in was seamless and I never felt rushed or overlooked. You can tell they value patient experience just as much as clinical outcomes. The consultation was incredibly thorough. They took time to evaluate my skin, explain the technology being used, discuss realistic expectations, and review pre- and post-care in detail. I really appreciated that nothing felt "salesy." Instead, the focus was clearly on safety, education, and choosing the right treatment for my skin and goals. During my treatment, Cynthia was extremely skilled and attentive. She checked in frequently about comfort level, explained every step of the procedure, and confidence. I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. Melissa also thoroughly took the time to build out my skin care routine and educate me on the importance of post care. Most importantly -- the results. I am genuinely thrilled. I noticed improvement sooner than expected, and my skin looks smoother, clearer, and more refreshed. The outcome looks natural and healthy, not overdone, which was very important to me. I would absolutely return for future treatments and already started recommending to friends and family. I highly recommend Neoderma if anyone is looking for results-driven, ethical care!!!

    I went in for a consultation, and the PA Johanna told me that my mole and brown spots could be…read moretreated with PicoWay laser treatments. She estimated I would need about 4-6 sessions. She also recommended using a melanin inhibitor beforehand because it would make the laser treatments more effective. I asked whether the products were vegan and cruelty-free. She said she'd go ask, but she came back without an answer. Before leaving, I scheduled my first PicoWay treatment for the following week. When I returned for the appointment, I saw a different PA, Sheri, who gave me different information. She told me the brown spots on my leg actually could not be treated with the laser after all, and that I would likely need 6-12 treatments rather than 4-6. She also did not know whether the recommended products were vegan and cruelty-free. Additionally, she explained that I was supposed to use the products for several weeks before beginning laser treatments -- something I had not been told during the original consultation. The first PA had mentioned the products, but never explained that pre-treatment use was required before starting the laser. Sheri contacted the product representative to ask about the vegan status of the products, but the rep was unsure and could not provide any timeline for getting an answer. At that point, I left without receiving treatment. Both PAs were friendly and professional, but I was frustrated by the lack of consistency and communication. I would have appreciated someone following up about whether the products were vegan before I came in expecting to begin treatment. Instead, I wasted time coming to an appointment that ultimately could not proceed. It also concerned me that the providers were not on the same page regarding what could actually be treated or how many sessions would realistically be required. It has now been about a month since that appointment, and nobody ever followed up regarding whether the products were vegan, despite assuring me that they would. I ultimately went to a dermatologist, who explained that the mole and brown spots should not be treated with laser in the first place. She excised the mole for less than the estimated cost of four laser sessions. Based on my experience, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for concerns like these, since they are medical skin specialists.
