We really wanted to try a more holistic approach first and I'm so grateful we did. Brianna has been incredible. As an Acne Specialist, she doesn't just perform treatments, she educates. She took the time to explain what was happening with my daughter's skin and helped us understand the patterns common in acne-prone skin. She made my daughter feel comfortable, supported, and empowered, which means everything at this age. Danielle, the owner, has also created such a warm and welcoming environment. You can tell she genuinely cares about each client who walks through the door and stands behind the quality of care her team provides. It's rare to find a clinic that feels both professional and personal. The combination of customized facials and a consistent skincare routine has truly made a difference. We're seeing real improvement, but just as importantly, my daughter feels more confident and hopeful. If you're a parent looking for knowledgeable, compassionate acne care for your teen, I highly recommend Brianna.

Finally came off Monica's waitlist & she had a different plan for me altogether; I bucked + thought I knew better about product formulations.

The old me would have leapt off the table...now I literally trust fall in to her capable hands! Ppl stop me in the store & ask me about my skin :') She is exemplary in her practice, there is no one as well-rounded as her.

Monica will give you such a pep in your step, temper any of your tensions. Jango is the softest, sweetest Shih-Tzu mascot on site to help melt your heart. I could cry from her kindness & am so fortunate to have her in my life.

I hate to scare people but the procedures are like modern day torture i had three done.. : - vbeam to remove redness: 7/10 pain - Fraxel for Face to remove sun spots: 8.5/10 pain during procedure but the 90 minutes after are intense. Plan to stay extra time to have the cold air blow on you as long as possible. - PRP for my hair : 10/10 pain. Have them use the rolling massage thing while they poke you. Another tip: make sure you are well numbed.. *****Bianca was absolutely FANTASTIC. i spent most of my time with her while i waited for the dermatologist. She was very professional, kind, caring, answered all my questions, reassured me, took care of me through a massive migrane by lowering lights and giving me waters. She patted me on my shoulder through the procedures to move the pain. She was SO wonderful.

This review is specifically towards their dermatology department***…read more I waited a while to write this, and I think now is the time to post it. I found this place through my health insurance. It was the first dermatology spot that accepted appointments soon so I decided to make one. When I called, I explained I have 2 Stys on my eyelid that I need removed. My appointment comes up and they have absolutely no clue what they are seeing me for. They think they are doing an exam on me. I told them them that I mentioned over the phone it was for 2 Stys that I need removed because they are bothering my eyelid. They said it will be an out of pocket charge. I already had paid for a copay at this point. I demanded a cancellation of my appointment and refund of my copay then and there. I was extremely frustrated and upset because: 1. They did not listen to me over the phone 2. I drove all the way out here to an appointment that was not even what I needed 3. I could of been told over the phone that the sty removal is not covered by insurance at THIS specific office. This wasted my time, and theirs. I do not recommend this spot for dermatology needs. I went to another dermatology doctor and it was 100% covered by insurance (just had to pay for the copay out of pocket).

Okay... where do I even start…read more I just had a facial at Kiwi Spa with Lisa and WOW. My skin has never felt this clean, fresh, and literally glowing. You know that feeling when your face just feels like it can breathe again? That's exactly it. Lisa is AMAZING. She didn't just rush through the service -- she really took her time, explained everything she was doing, and gave me so much helpful skincare advice that actually made sense. I left feeling like I not only got a facial, but a whole skincare education. We actually went for a bachelorette and they went ALL out for us The setup was so beautiful -- they had a charcuterie board, champagne, and the cutest little space that made it feel so special and fun. It honestly made the whole experience feel elevated and memorable. And the spa itself?? So clean, peaceful, and relaxing. The kind of place where you instantly feel calm the second you walk in. No joke... my skin looks so good right now I don't even want to wear makeup for weeks ! If you're thinking about booking -- DO IT. Highly, highly recommend Lisa at Kiwi Spa. You will leave glowing

I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

I really debated writing this review as my first overall experience with Faith was INCREDIBLE. We…read morefirst spoke on the phone on March 27th because I came across a Groupon deal at a fantastic price for a facial (less than half the price - I LOVE GROUPON FOR THIS). She was so bubbly and energetic and kind over the phone. I told her I wanted to book the facial for my birthday and mentioned purchasing on Groupon, she told me NOT to, just book through her and she'll honor the Groupon price since Groupon takes percentages of their sales from them. She then charged me 50% of the groupon price for my facial since they charge 50% upon booking and the remaining 50% on the day of the services. Fast forward about three or four weeks later to the day of my service..... I go to check out with Becca who did my facial and was being charged the original price of the facial NOT the Groupon price ($190 MORE). Now I'm not gonna get to the nitty gritty and go word for word of my exchanges between Becca or with Faith but what I can say is.. thanks to Faith I will NEVER return here again! She was SO SO SO SO SO RUDE and SOOOOOO condescending. She kept saying 'This is how much the facial is, the groupon deal is A CRAZY discount' (I know that's why I was purchasing on Groupon????). I brought up the original receipt she charged me on the day I booked the facial, which was 50% of the total price $36.06, meaning on the day of my facial Id pay the other 50%.... $36.06 but she kept trying to charge me $190 and saying 'I'm getting a really good deal' and that 'Groupon wouldn't charge this' .. even though I had the literal receipt from Groupon showing the price being $72.13........ and the words that really stuck with me the most from Faith were, '... well so what is it that you are looking to or wanting to pay...' as if I'm some broke person that can't afford the facial and am only looking to pay what I can afford?... Faith I'm literally paying for WHAT YOU AND I AGREED ON THE DAY OF SCHEDULING TO PAY?! I'm so confused as to why she's confused.. we literally spoke on the phone and she told me she'd honor the Groupon price.. which is exactly why that's 50% of what you charged me when I booked.. with the understanding I'm paying the other 50% OF THE GROUPON price on the day of my service. WHY DO YOU OFFER YOUR SERVICES ON GROUPON IF YOU ARE SOOOOOO MAD WHEN PEOPLE GO TO USE THEM . I literally would never go back here again just because of how rude, condescending, and insulting Faith was!! Go literally anywhere else!!!!
