    My Experience at Removery Tattoo Removal & Fading -- Chino Hills, CA 91709…read more I am sharing my honest experience at Removery located at 13855 City Center Dr., Ste 3021, Chino Hills, CA 91709. Unfortunately, this was an experience I would never want to repeat. The first issue began before I even entered the office. The GPS directions were inaccurate and confusing, making the location unnecessarily difficult to find. After driving around longer than expected, I finally located the suite. Starting an appointment already frustrated from poor directions set a negative tone. Once inside, I checked in for my scheduled appointment but was told I would need to wait because another client had arrived late. While I understand delays happen, it added to the inconvenience after the difficulty locating the office. Thankfully, that session was brief and I was taken in shortly after. I went into the treatment room hopeful for a productive session. My tattoo removal specialist was Jessica, who introduced herself as a nurse. When I sat down, she instructed me that I only needed to ice my neck for a couple of seconds because I had applied numbing cream. This immediately concerned me. In my previous sessions, I typically ice for 3 to 5 minutes, sometimes at least 2 to 3 minutes, to properly prepare my skin for the laser. Following her instruction, I iced the left side of my neck for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. This was far less than I am used to and did not feel sufficient. When the laser treatment began, I expected discomfort, as tattoo removal is never painless. However, within 20 to 40 seconds on the first section of the tattoo, the pain became significantly more intense than any session I had previously experienced. Jessica continued working on that same small section on the left side of my neck for what felt like an extended period. I normally receive treatments in Brea with a specialist named Kaylyn. My sessions there are typically efficient, precise, and much quicker. While Jessica was lasering, I calmly asked if she was almost finished with that section because it was extremely painful and taking much longer than I was accustomed to. She explained that the laser quality and the level of my session could make it more painful and that she needed to do her job thoroughly. Even so, that one small section took approximately two minutes to complete. With Kaylyn in Brea, that same section normally takes around 30 seconds. The extended duration made the pain far more intense and difficult to tolerate. At that point, I made the decision to stop. I respectfully told Jessica, "Thank you, but no thank you," and informed her I did not wish to continue the session. I remained calm and professional. I then walked to the front desk and requested to reschedule or transfer my treatment to the Brea location. I was told they had already contacted Brea and that I could continue treatment there. Before leaving the building, I personally called Kaylyn to explain what had occurred. I also gave him credit for the quality and efficiency of his previous work on my neck. I explained that my experience in Chino Hills was far more painful than normal and that my neck already appeared more irritated than usual, possibly due to insufficient icing beforehand. During that call, I shared my perspective respectfully. However, I felt that my feedback was met with defensiveness. At one point, it was suggested that I had raised my voice. That was inaccurate. I did not yell at anyone in Chino Hills or on the phone. I remained composed and expressed my concerns calmly. I clarified that while others may perform differently, my experience that day was extremely painful and not acceptable to me as a customer. I also stated that I would be canceling my upcoming April 4 appointment at the Chino Hills location because I did not feel comfortable returning. I then requested the manager's contact information. I was given the name Frasier and left a detailed voicemail outlining the entire situation, from the navigation issues, to the minimal icing instruction, to the prolonged and painful laser session, and finally the response I received when expressing concern. Overall, this visit was deeply disappointing. From inaccurate directions to inadequate preparation and an unusually painful session, I left feeling physically irritated and emotionally frustrated. While others may have different experiences, mine was overwhelmingly negative. For this visit, I would rate my experience 1 out of 5 stars. I will not be returning to the Chino Hills location.

    I went to this location for the first time and had a great experience! The office itself is very…read moreeasy to locate and very well maintained. The session itself was very quick and staff was welcoming.

I still use the cleanser provided. The instructions note to not do any treatments following 2 weeks, nowhere does it say that I should be following up with another medical grade facial within 7-10 days.

So when I showed up, the artist wasn't even there and I sat there just waiting until another employee at the shop called Steve. He verified he wrote down the wrong time, so I asked for my $60 deposit back (which I had to drive all the way there to give them 8 days before the appointment since they only accept Zelle and Apple Pay) the employee called Steve again to see about a discount to keep my appointment, and Steve offered me $20 off, which was insulting. The other employee insisted the artist was on their way, but having an artist rush over from home to do permanent ink on your body is never a good idea. They should've been there waiting and ready to go before I arrived. I took my $60 back and left. And I won't be back. The artists may be good but because of the guy who runs the place, I'll never know.

Each communication preps the client for their responsibility, what to expect, and whats next. The studio is within a beautiful and private locked (for safety) facility that requires notification to enter. It is located in a large corner mini shopping area with plenty of parking. Upon arrival , the client sends a text to gain entry. Kay comes to the door and brings you to her quaint private, very clean, bright and nicely decorated studio. After meet and greet introduction Kay goes over the process of how she will spend more time mapping and measuring to perfection before actual procedure. Her time guesstimation is pretty accurate. It was during this phase that it was evident to me that she is a very passionate perfectionist which awards her the title of "The Eyebrow Queen". Kay is very caring and compassionate always checking in to make sure you are comfortable and doing fine as well as explaining everything she does while doing it. She even has a mini frig to provide her clients a wide variety of refreshments. Kay is a gifted expert in her field as evidenced by all the before and after pics and incredible reviews left by the happy trail of clients. I came in to this experience confidently and left a very happy and grateful client. I highly recommend @Kayanabeauty. I am more than confident that you will too.

    Review for Skin Perfect Brothers / V-Line…read more I have been going to Joseph for at least 10 years, and I highly recommend him. Joseph is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients. He takes the time to sit down with you and explains what he sees and discusses what your face needs and he outlines the steps it will take to achieve your goals. He even shares research and educational information so you can make informed decisions. What sets Joseph apart is that he looks beyond appearance. He talks about overall health, including things like body fat levels, diet, and wellness, not just cosmetic treatments. He takes a genuine interest in his clients as people, often asking about my health, my family, and how I am doing. My consultations have always been thorough, and he has generously provided consultations free of charge. He is also mindful of costs and has worked with me financially by offering discounts and including extra treatments whenever possible. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and personable. As a 73-year-old client, trust and integrity are very important to me, and Joseph has earned my trust over many years. I appreciate his professionalism, kindness, and commitment to helping his clients look and feel their best.

She was nice initially till she realized I had a Groupon. Her whole demeanor changed. When I was paying for the treatment, the secretary asked if she should schedule a follow up, and the injector said no need she has a Groupon. For background, I have used botox before and received it in Korea at a skincare clinic. I loved the results then and thought it would be similar to that treatment. In Korea, they cleanse and numb your face prior to treatment. They also show you the bottle before they draw it into the needle. At skin perfect brothers, she turned her back to me and didn't show me that it really was botox. It could have been dysport for all I know. She rubbed a Vaseline type cream on my forehead without wiping it clean and just started injecting (after marking my muscle movement). Its only been 5 days, and we'll see in 2 weeks at its full development. I wanted an annual visit there, but after that treatment... I'm good. They did text me to see if I was happy with it. I'll find out in 2 weeks and let them know.

I recently moved to the area and decided to give NakedMD a try. During my consultation, the consultant was very friendly and mentioned that all of their providers are RNs or nurses rather than technicians, which made me feel confident moving forward with my PRF microneedling appointment. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly with the blood draw. The first nurse who attempted to draw my blood seemed new and was having difficulty finding the vein. After multiple attempts, she missed my vein and ended up blowing it, which was extremely painful and left me with additional bruising. At that point, Stephanie--the nurse who would later perform my microneedling treatment--was brought in to help. She was able to draw my blood successfully on the first try without any issues, and I appreciated that. However, I was disappointed with the microneedling treatment itself. Compared to treatments I've received at other med spas, the procedure felt rushed and not nearly as thorough. When I got home and looked more closely, I noticed that my upper lip area had been completely missed during the treatment and around my eyes. Since my face was fully numbed at the time, I wasn't aware of it until afterward, but it's hard to understand how an area like that could be overlooked. Overall, the staff was friendly, but between the painful blood draw experience and the lack of attention to detail during the microneedling treatment, this visit did not meet the standard I've experienced elsewhere. I left feeling disappointed and unsure if I would return to this location.
