This was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Mary Kay is so talented, sweet, welcoming,…read moreand so much more. Her area was so relaxing and beautiful. It was quiet and Mary Kay connected with me. I really recommend her to everyone. She also teaches you about what she is doing. I came all the way from Charleston which is about an hour drive from her and it was totally worth it! Thank you Mary Kay for the amazing experience.

I wasn't expecting a big shift in my skin's appearance and definitely not in shape. However, less than 5 minutes into it I was totally blissed out! I hadn't realized how much tension I was carrying in my face until Mary Kay worked it all out! I was also impressed with how lifted and sculpted my entire face, especially cheek bones, looked afterwards (she said her hand strokes are specialized to fight gravity). Seriously, so lifted and rounded, not the flat way they were before. It was both relaxing and effective with visible results. Her space was easy to find and comfortable. Bathroom available. She is knowledgeable about the skin care line she uses, able to tailor them to individual needs and explain why and how your skin would benefit from them. She is clearly both gifted and knowledgeable. Her technique speaks to her obvious years of experience. I would recommend her to anyone and would go again myself.

This is a great Massage Envy location. Tyler and Nicholas are especially wonderful for both…read morerelaxation and recovery. Whenever I leave I have to walk to the grocery store next door to get something caffeinated so I can drive home safely -- I'm that relaxed! Make sure you know the Massage Envy drill before you go (buy in packs to save money, memberships can include a term commitment, etc) and you won't be disappointed!

I've had a couple of negative experiences at this location. Massage Envy policies are shady, to say…read morethe least. I transfered some credits to my sister as a gift after her daughter had a brain injury in a motorcycle accident- thinking she could use a break from caring for ALL her and her children. She couldn't take time to get treatment. They will not allow me to transfer to another recipient- my husband- who was also a member. Or back to myself. My hard earned cash- GONE. Most recently, my card for auto withdrawals was compromised. They have another card on file additionally. Still, I have a couple of hours credit in my account. I was given a two hour time frame to change payment method (to which I couldn't at the moment working a philanthropy event without my purse) and they canceled my appointment for the following day! Inconveniencing my massage therapist (lovely Tyler) and not allowing me to access my $$$ already paid! You have to have an "active" membership or you literally LOSE your credits! BOGUS UNETHICAL STEALING. you will ALWAYS LOSE MONEY AT THE END OF EVERY CONTRACT YOU DISCONTINUE because you have to continue to pay to access previous $$$$ they auto withdrawal. And without a membership, the prices are exorbitantly expensive. Like dumb expensive. And if you schedule an hour appointment, you only get forty five minutes of actual massage. Hour and a half and you get an hour and fifteen at the most. That is very different than any other place. I've gotten because there is a getting dressed undressed. Time, that is not included in your actual massage appointment. For a number of years, you will find lots of reviews negative at this place. We had gone through a couple of years where there wasn't enough staff for all of the memberships that were being sold. So there was literally never anyone available to give you a massage. Dumb. I finally find someone that I like, and these people are turds, and they take your money and threaten you with time frames and a lack of general understanding- and hijack your money/credit. As a business professional, I only charge people for services that I DO. That is the ethical way to deal with business. Period. You guys should be ashamed.

I see most of these reviews are old so…read more..... Love, Love! My facial and abstraction with Aliza today was nothing short of amazing!Although I was in a stressful place because of my (face)breakout, Aliza comforted me. With her skin care knowledge and expertise I left the office feeling more confident and with a better understanding of why my skin was being so fussy! I could really go on and on! But I'll save it for my next appointment which I happily scheduled for two weeks! Also super thanks to Dr. Trupin who popped in to assess and gave her medical advice! No pressure just much needed support! I'm grateful to add them to my skin care team, because honey I needed it!!

I want to highlight a very sensitive experience I had with this company. My experience dates back…read moreto Feb of 22; now I know you're like why are you just now writing a review and honestly, it's because I want to stand up for myself and not be afraid of hurting people's feelings who clearly had no regard for mines. Ive struggled with cystic acne and hyperpigmentation since I was in my early 20's. So, around March of 21 I had a consultation with this company and was recommended to do microneedling with PRP. I paid for my package in full (which was very expensive). It included 3 treatments and y'all I was absolutely amazed by the results my skin was much smoother, and the hyperpigmentation was reduced significantly along with the texture I was so happy. So, then I was told to do another package I had no problem because I seen great results. However, at this time this company had just introduced a treatment called "picosure" they hyped this treatment up and ensured me that this was a safe treatment for African American skin I had no reason to believe that they didn't have the knowledge necessary to perform this treatment on me so I paid and scheduled my first treatment which was for Feb 23, 2022. On this day the treatment was started and right off the bat the heat was unbearable, but they told me this was to be expected you guys my face began to weep so much so the esthetician stopped the treatment went and consulted someone else came back and continued the treatment. Now she knew something was wrong, yet she continued now I'm asking her is everything ok am I supposed to be weeping and hurting this bad she said "yes" this is normal. Post treatment OMG it burned so bad they put ice packs on my face and sent me on my way; my face was on fire for 8hrs straight worst pain I've ever experienced. The next day I noticed I had a lot of crusting on my face where I was weeping, and on the third day I was three shades darker. One week later I noticed my face was looking very different my color was off and I had what looked like facial drooping around my smile lines, but I thought ok it's going to get better, but it didn't. My face reverted back to the very hyperpigmentation and scarring I was initially trying to correct only difference my skin was much darker. This sent me into a complete depression because I didn't recognize me at all. I called and spoke to the manager (not sure of her name), but when I explained to her what was going on she was completely dismissive I was crying and pleading with her to help me. She gave me no direction I asked her what can we do she said she didn't know I asked what I can do to help lighten my skin she said go to Walgreens and try and find some cream. There was no help at all I asked for my money back because mind you I paid in full for three treatments and her response was " we don't do refunds and our policy is that you can't move credits to a different service" so I asked "so you expect me to have two more treatments of "picosure" knowingly knowing I can't do this treatment??" she then said as a onetime "curtesy" she will move the credits to microneedling. I wanted my money back because I didn't trust this company, yet I was forced to allow them to touch my face again because I had paid close to $2000 for that treatment, but I wanted my money back and to be done with them. So, after 6weeks my skin was ruined this put me in therapy I couldn't look at myself in the mirror I looked and seen an ugly women Ive never thought this about myself, yet I didn't see me. After the microneedling with PRP I was hoping it would help but it didn't I was devastated. So, I went to Christie Clinic to see a dermatologist because mind you they left me out in the wilderness not knowing what to do, and she immediately told me to stop any and all treatments for a year because my skin was severely damaged. She put me on "hydroquinone cream" to try and lighten my skin so I did just that and I just didn't do anything to my skin but keep spf 50 on and the cream prescribed. The cream did help a little, but I had deep tissue damage, so I was put on a retinol cream at night for the texture that was now back. I was just so discouraged so I didn't do any treatments up until this year. I'm at a new clinic where we are again doing microneedling with PRF Ive had 2 treatments now and things are looking good, but the Dr informed me that what you all did was unacceptable and that you all should have never left me to fend for myself when you damaged my face severely. I was told the reason that I see such a drastic difference in my face specifically my smile lines is due to the high heat from the "picosure" that melted the fat in that area causing dropping. To sum this up you all have caused me significant mental health issues surrounding my appearance to this day you have caused me to spend thousands of dollars trying to correct what you should have corrected what you all did was wrong and I want you all to know

Store review: This is so far the best location in Champaign…read moreto shop. I can only base it on one experience. The cashier was super friendly and accepting of valid coupons. Instead of scrutinizing at other stores she actually went ahead and scanned and if the computer accepted the coupon we were good. The store was well stocked and I could find everything that I needed. Pros: Friendly fast staff, accepts coupons Cons: Some items are expensive compared to the super stores Hidden deals: You can use one coupon per item Register rewards and walgreens points help add to the savings Sign up for the walgreens cards to get savings on purchases

I stopped in at this location with my girlfriend recently to have some photos printed. I've printed…read morephotos at other locations in the past, so I am familiar with their kiosks and the ordering process. Below is my experience with this location's poor customer service While chatting with my girlfriend, I sit down at the computer and plug my phone in using a cable in the drawer beneath the computer. I start the ordering process, continuing to chat with my girlfriend. At the very moment that I reach the "Connect your device" screen of the ordering process, I hear an associate rudely ask, "Y'all tryin' to print photos?" I was offended by the employee's tone in asking this question; she sounded annoyed and very impatient. I was also offended because the employee interrupted a conversation I was having with my girlfriend. I feel that would only have been an appropriate way to approach me had I been banging my phone against the computer screen and yelling, "LOAD MY PICTURES!" That was not the case... Anyways, I respond affirmatively to the associate's initial question, but adopt a tone of voice I hope will discourage any further interaction. The employee does not take my cue. Instead, in that same tone from before, I am told, "You gotta connect it to the computer!" Now very annoyed, I hold up my phone to demonstrate to her that it has already been connected and tell her that it is. She then raises her voice and responds with, "No it ain't!" She then walks up to the kiosk, yanks the drawer open, pulls out the other end of the cable I've already connected to my phone, mashes it into the USB port on the front of the computer, and stalks off in the opposite direction, sending a "Ya welcome" over her shoulder. Classy... Had she not so rudely inserted herself and kept us from proceeding with the order alone, my girlfriend and I would likely have solved that little problem within -oh, I don't know- 5 seconds? But, hey, why not behave like a condescending b****? Customer service is just your job. *Edit* To review: -Did not greet us -Did not politely offer assistance -When she did engage us at all, she was rude and condescending -Gave us unsolicited and unwelcome assistance

Best Hair Salon in town…read more I will never get tired of recommending Allure. Every person I have recommended it too has absolutely loved it and they always surprise with their services. First of all, all the ladies are professional, nice, and listen to what you want. They constantly check in to make sure you are happy and go out of their way to ensure you are satisfied with your service. For instance, one day I was in a time crunch and two stylists worked on me to make sure I would make it on time. Another time, I had to work and they were extra accommodating to help me work on my laptop while styling my hair. The products they used are high quality and your hair will thank you. My hair always feels healthy, smooth, and smells amazing. I always get compliments when I come here and I am always happy to recommend it. If that wasn't great enough already they offer you a coffee, tea, water and some treats when you come in. Additionally, they are always playing the best music. I recently took my boyfriend for a man's haircut and they did such a great job. Overall, an amazing experience. If you are deciding on a hair Salon look no further I guarantee you Allure is the best one.
