another quick style appointment. brazilian wax, with sarah. & omg. she's AMAZING. she plays so much attention to detail, it's really crazy. she is also very professional and very opened and friendly all at once. i definitely felt most comfortable with her for some reason (not saying i didn't with danieli or helen.. i saw danieli about 6-8 times.. helan once. but i felt most comfortable with sarah). still don't like the name of the spa, but whatevers. for a brazilian, there is no other place to go. read more

It was a great experience. The staff was very professional. I called the same day and received an appt. I visited for weight loss, and received multiple options. The price was reasonable. All of the equipment was new and in excellent condition. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I went here because I had a Groupon for the Rio Wax Salon and they couldn't get me an appointment for when I needed it. The waiting area was nice but no one told me about the refreshments on the other side. I'm presently trying places to find one that fits me best before I settle on one to go to regularly. The front desk and others I saw just didn't impress me as how one should look working for a high end salon which to me is what their prices imply. I wasn't told about any upkeep products that I might have actually been interested in. Wednesday was the girl I had and she did a great job on my brows and took care of all the hair for my Brazilian. My only complaint is that there was more bleeding than I usually expierince from getting some skin and within a couple of days I was getting stubble like I'd shaved. Usually I don't have any regrowth for at least a week and it grows in soft which leads me to believe the hair was more broken than pulled out. Guess I'll keep looking. read more

If you're looking to correct your face this is not definitely the place for it. I didn't listen the bad reviews of this place and "yes" it happens to me too. I was waiting a couple of days just to make sure if this would be something that would disappear because I'm not a complain person but it's been 2 weeks since my procedure there and it's getting a little better yes but it's been a couple of days feeling myself as a freak. Reaction to the injections "maybe" but what I know is that I'll not recommended this place to anyone. I've should listened these bad reviews and now I regret to ignore these reviews . I went to this place because I wanted to lift my nose a little bit and correct it. I don't know exactly what the doctor injected me in because, as they say, they work with hyaluronic acid. I just know I've never had reaction before to any medicine or injections or even food. Not even a little. To my opinion you guys should look for another place to do this kind of stuff. My nose is a mess right now as you can see in the pictures. I went to them and they explained to me that it could be a reaction of my body or maybe some infection I got because of touching my nose. They gave me Arnica cream to put on topical and just told me that it would get better with time. Of course it would get better but the discomfort and pain and days and days being a freak it's not going to disappear from my mind never ever!!! This never should've happen read more

Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa - Laser Hair Removal Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been going here for a few years now (before they got tons of attention). Let me start by saying Danielli is the best person for anything in there. Problem is shes always at least two weeks booked now if not more. They recently remodeled, but I have mixed feelings on it. The new receptionist staff is not as good as the old one, but this is the only place I will go for my brows. I've also had chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion, and other treatments here. They are really excellent. read more

The front office is completely unprofessional. I have been to this place several times, but today will forever be my last. They interrupted my treatment 3 times in a row, and even asked to run my card while I was getting treatment. Treatment was stopped so that I could pay and I was very upset. I had to leave the room I was being treated at and go to the front desk so that I could pay. Who the heck does that? I asked why it was necessary that I pay mid-way through my service and their response was that they needed to know whether my credit card was gonna go through. I will never Return to this Place. You can get better treatment and better Service every where else. read more

I really wanted to like this place because they have so many seemingly great facial offerings. I love facials and get them as often as I can. I was really disappointed in the service. I originally went in for a Oxygen facial, but after talking with the Esthetician I was really looking for a hydration facial. There was a lack of communication when it came to preforming the facial and I had to ask what she was doing when she was poking my face with a needle. Super unsettling... I walked out of there with dried blood on my face. For being a hydrating facial my face felt very dry and tight afterwards. No "afterglow" here. Not impressed with the service or quality of facial. I do not recommend this place to anyone and will not return. I feel like I just wasted $99. read more

The aesthetician's were great, very friendly. However my experience with the front office and management was disastrous. Very unorganized and unprofessional. I would not recommend making an appointment. read more

I went to Suddenly Slimmer to get a massage. The massage was good, the service was TERRIBLE. My masseuse told me to tell the girls at the front to give me the introductory price, which is about $69 for a one hour, rather than $95. When I told the receptionist, she gladly said yes, and took my credit card. When she handed me my receipt, I noticed that I had been charged $105, which is the intro price for a 90min massage. A simple mistake, so I thought. When I told her that she had charged me for a 90min, and I had only had a 60min, she informed me that she would have to call down her manager to refund the $35. I said that was fine and she went to get the manager, came back a couple minutes later to tell me that the manager was in the middle of something, and that I would have to wait a little bit. Again, I said alright, and sat down. After 45mins of waiting, I couldn't stay any longer, and asked if I could take care of this the next day. She said of course, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When I came in the next day I found out that there had not been a manager on the previous day, she had been sick. Then when I asked for my refund, it took about an hour and I was only able to get credit for the spa. I am absolutely appalled at the service at Suddenly Slimmer, and clearly, so is everyone else. I would give this place only one star if it wasn't for the good (not great, but good) massage. read more

I love this place, the staff is friendly the prices are right.. any time I am in Phx I will come in for a little something.

This was my first treatment here and I am more than pleased. Run.... do not walk for the Hydrafacial with Erin. She is so knowledgeable in skin care and explained everything along with great recommendations. Coming back in Feb for a peel with her. read more

I have been going to Suddlenly Slimmer Spa for many years now and for many different services anything from wax's to peels to micro needling and all did a great job for my skin .. I just recently decided to try the CO 2 laser and all I can say is WOW ... just a week after my treatment and I can already see the difference in my skins texture and smoothness ... and I still have a few more weeks to see the final results!!! It's truly an amazing service & definitely going to do it again !! Dannelli was so knowledgeable and really took her time to go over every detail from start to finish of the process ... I highly recommend Suddlenly Slimmer Day Spa and I think we have found the fountain of youth with the CO 2 laser service !!! read more

Just a little update...Rio is the sister concept of SSDS and is just across the street. If you can book with Sarah over there i recommend it. It's quiet and the rooms are a lot bigger so you don't feel like a sardine in a tiny can. They have a small product line so you can stock up on all the goods. read more

I had a great experience getting my fat burner wrap done here a few weeks ago. I felt that the staff was very helpful in answering all of my questions. It was clean and peaceful inside. read more

Randi is an absolutely amazing technician! I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted for a treatment, Randi patiently explained about 5 different options and answered the plethora of questions I had in great detail and terms I could understand. Randi provided her recommendation and detail of why she would chose that over the others. We agreed on the procedure best for me in a totally collaborative manner and I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

The wax is AMAZING!!! So good especially being a Brazilian wax rookie myself. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. They're very knowledgeable on the products also. Hooked! read more

Erin was amazing! She completed the Hydra Facial on me today and my skin is looking so much better already! See you in 6 weeks, Erin! Easy check in and super friendly front desk staff. read more

Love Dannielli, HATE the total lack of customer appreciation from just about everybody else who works there :(. I have been a loyal customer for at least five years now and used to receive really great customer service, especially when Dannielli had Rio open on 32nd St.!! Since she moved back over to the spa site though the customer service has been terrible and what's worse is that nobody seems to really care. In fact, the woman, Jenna I believe her name was, seemed quite pleased with herself when I told her I would be taking my business elsewhere. Not only will I never spend another dime in this place, I will now take every opportunity I can to make sure that other consumers know that this place does not care about their customer's or appreciate that we chose to spend our hard earned money at their overpriced and RUDE establishment!! read more

First time with Tara to have my eyebrows waxed. Personable, fast and great service. Eyebrows look fantastic!

I am new to the area and I was searching for a place to get a massage near my house. I stumbled upon a google coupon for Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa introductory massage. I called to make the earliest appointment....I was shocked by my conversation with the receptionist. Not only did she explicitly tell me they wouldn't honor the google coupon that popped up in my search, she said I had to give her my credit card number to book the appointment. Not sure what sort of crooked establishment this place is, but they have lost me and my circle of friends as a potential customer. I will find a place that treats their clients with respect. read more

I have used the spa twice now and I have had fantastic service both times. I will be back

Very professional and friendly! I have been coming here for years and highly recommend it! Dr. Jeffers At Suddenly Slimmer works magic!

My visit to Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa was a great experience from the time I walked in the door to the time I left. The spa itself was very inviting and the front desk staff made me feel welcome instantly. The Coolsculpting tech, Alyssa, was extremely knowledgeable and everything was explained to me in detail........from what to expect as she was doing the procedure to what to expect afterwards. I am excited to see the results and look forward to visiting again. read more

Don't get me wrong the wax was done well...painful but flawless....reception asked me "how was it??" Which is inappropriate following a Brazilian. If you've ever had one you'd know that with that kind of question you just want to ask "how the hell do you think it was?" Then they over charged me $15 dollars. I canceled my appointment and they called me to ask why so I let them know and they gave me a credit to my acct. which was nice I might come back because the wax was so good. The front desk was awful hopefully they find new girls for that position. read more

Suddenly Slimmer is great for fillers and last minute bookings. Dr. Jeffers has done Dysport injections for me several times, and she is always professional and gentle. The spa also offers membership discount specialI recommend checking them out! read more

What a mistake! I booked an appointment here for my boyfriend and I at the last min (V-day). Couples massage, wrap and a few other things. This is also AFTER reading all of the previous reviews here. I figure: A. I was lucky to have found a place that could get us in; B. Why not give them a chance! I was feeling unsure about my decision but....it was booked, we may as well go. Man oh man.... First - even though I had requested one room for the both of us; they had set up 2 separate ones. Then, instead of receiving 4 fun treatments, 1 was cut for both of us. We were supposed to have a great 3.5 hours at the spa and got only 2! What really flipped me was when we went downstairs to pay they tried to charge me $100 more! After I complained they said that I'd misunderstood the package and what I thought was the amount for both of us was actually per person - meaning they wanted double what I had originally booked! After 30 min of complaining to a manager on duty we finally got the original price ($410 no less). After paying, the manager gave us 2 coupons for 50% off our next visit. I'm not so sure we'll be using them. read more

I decided to make an appointment to get a facial on my birthday. I scheduled it during my lunch break because it would only take about an hour or so. My appointment was at noon. I was told they were running a "few minutes late" which was no problem. I finally left at 12:45 after they hadn't yet started. The employees apologized and said it was a "scheduling issue". If they had issues they could have called and changed my appointment instead of wasting my time. They seem too disorganized for me to consider going back. It's too bad because it's really close by and they offer many different treatments. read more

I had a great experience here for the Brazilian wax I got yesterday! I had been getting waxed for the past 2 years at a location that was almost a 45 minute drive for me and finally I decided to get smart and look for a new place to have it done. I decided to give Suddenly Slimmer a call after reading an article about them in the little free Perfection magazine I get at my local CVS. They are centrally located and that is a plus! I called for an appointment and to my surprise they were able to get me in with Danielli herself the very next day at 9:30! Definitley wasnt expecting that but eagerly accepted. I arrived the next morning (after working all night) and was greeted immediately by the front desk staff. (They were normal looking ladies, not the intimidating couldnt be bothered Barbie types at all). Now whoever was saying that the location was in a bad area of town must live a very sheltered life because it is not that bad! I had no fear driving into or walking into the building! Ive seen some scarier places in some parts of Ahwatukee where I live, LOL! Anyway, I was quickly checked in and given my paperwork to fill out before my waxing session. Once I completed the forms I sat down in the tidy little waiting room off to the right and watched an infomerical like thingee on the flat screen and helped myself to some herbal tea. I didnt get a chance to finish either one because within about 7 minutes I was warmly greeted by the waxing queen herself, Danielli! She has a big bright smile and instantly put me at ease! She took me back to the room which was spotless. It was a little tight but VERY clean, I could see all the products she would be using. She told me how to disrobe and where to lay and once I was on the table , she put on her gloves and quickly got to work! Now this is the part where I was won over. Danielli has a knack for making you feel comfortable while she is conversing with you. She makes you feel like you are already one of her friends! She asks questions and and also listens very well. You are put at ease by her friendly demeanor and she explains thngs clearly! I am not a brazilian "virgin" so I knew what to expect and I experienced nothing more than the normal short bursts of discomfort you get from waxing this area. She is fast and effecient and wastes no time giving you what you want. Also, being a person of color, I have some issues with ingrowns and possible scarring and she reassured me that her method would minimize or not do neither (I realize nothing is guaranteed though!). She also gave me tips on how to care for my sensitive skin and gave me some pointers on what to use for my ingrowns too! Within 25 minutes she was done and this was after shaping (with little scissors) and working on a few ingrowns I had! I looked down and lo and behold it was PERFECT! She did say she was a perfectionist and I have to agree! Danielli walked me out, showed me the product I was looking for (again for my ingrowns), explained how it works and when to start using it, took me to the front desk, gave me her card and waited until I started checking out to say goodbye! First class service direct from the Boss lady herself, what a treat! The past place I was going to pales in comparision to what I received from Danielli and her staff yesterday. They have gained another customer in me FOR SURE! I would highly recommend Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa for your next Brazilian wax. ETA: I had my lip waxed and my brows touched up by another tech and I was not impressed with the other person's skills at all. Her breath was not pleasant and I thnk I may have a tiny scab on the right of my lip from her! But I still will give them all 5 stars based on my main service I received! read more

Went to try a test patch for the new laser hair removal system, Soprano Ice. Left in pain and 1/4 of my tattoo lasered!!!!!! One of the worst feelings ever is laser tattoo removal, especially when you are not trying to have your tattoo lasered. Needless to say, it blistered and scabbed, took about 3-4 weeks to heal. I now have to get my tattoo redone!!!!! I would never ever go here again for laser hair removal! read more

This place is ridiculous and so desperate for customers! I just received 2 same text messages, which is some advertisement about them (I never agreed to be txted for any of their advertisements). Unfortunately, I used their service several years ago and I was completely unsatisfied and I never came back. After so many years, I forgot about them and now they just reminded me that they are still the rock bottom of discontent! If they did care about their customers at all, they will try to make us with an impressive service their customers, so that we have a reason to come back and not just sending us some advertisements. A good word out there, is better than any other advertisement. A good care of clients, is better than any other advertisement. Just now, I made a phone call to Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa and explained that I did receive the advertisement through text messages and asked them to be removed from their system, so I don't get bothered again. She confirmed that she did and I hope she is right, because if I receive something like this again, I will whine even louder and bigger. If they did (seriously) care at all, they would know that I didn't returned for so many years and they would know that back then I complained about their bad customer service. And, I do not need now to waste my text messages on their advertisement and I do not need to waste my valuable time to give them a call to remove me from their system, but to do something about their mistakes, be more concerned and to show that they care. I wish I knew about their greediness, before I ever stepped into their place. read more

I am revising my earlier review which totally slammed this place. This would be my advice if you would like to try their body wraps. Do your research before you go in. Maybe go in for a consultation ahead of time so that they can explain to you exactly what it entails, what your diet should be while you are doing it, and what EXACTLY to expect. I did not do this and I was disappointed with the results. The wraps did not work for me, but I guess they must work for others or this place wouldn't be in business. Be forewarned, they do a lot of beauty/diet product sales here, so be prepared for a presentation of products after your treatment. If you're like me and don't want to hear a pitch after your treatment, maybe just let them know that up front. A lot of people obviously like this spa, and without any further judgement, I'll just say it's not my cup of tea. read more

Came here to get lip injections and have bumps to this day. I was told by another spa that the filler she used was not the norm and it may account for the botched outcome. What made everything worse was that when I came in to show her my uneven, bruised, bumpy lips she said it was my fault because I'm STRESSED, that it doesn't happen to her clients who are always relaxed. That doesn't even make the slightest of sense. I'm a medical student and I'm sure others get their lips done...... she was definitely projecting and it made me uncomfortable every time I came by for her to stab a needle in my lip and try to push the filler out (painful). At one point I gave up, I didn't want to see her and have her tell me it's somehow my fault so I stopped and have bumps to this day. Just waiting for the bumps to dissolve as the filler does although it's been many months, the filler she used was supposed to last up to a year or maybe more (don't quite remember 100%). Don't recommend! read more

I went to Suddenly Slimmer a while ago for a brazilian wax, because they are supposed to be know for that service, right? The girl that did the wax told me that she was sick with a cold, and she sounded congested, etc. It was super fast, but once I got home I saw that it was pretty bad. Stray hairs everywhere that were clearly visible. I don't know if this is typical of Suddenly Slimmer or if it was just because the girl wasn't feeling well, but I won't be going back to find out. read more

The staff at Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa are sooo friendly and always make me feel welcomed when I come in. There are so many great services to choose from. Alyssa is great and really knows what she's doing. I'd totally recommend Suddenly Slimmer to my friends. read more

Love getting my dysport by Dr. Jeffers! Always s natural look and long lasting! Would def recommend this place! The spa is very nice and staff is very friendly. Warm and welcoming! Very clean and serene feeling. read more

I see Dannielli for my brows and I always look forward to my appointments. The girls up front are always nice to greet me and get me a drink while I wait if I'm early. She does great work and I can't wait until she's done with nursing school so I can see her for some med-spa services! read more

Buyer beware! They are very good at upselling you without you even knowing it! I called to make appointment for detox wrap. They asked if I was interested in the "Fat Burner" addition for $30 for tummy. Sure! But they had actually upsold me to a Fat Burner Wrap that costs $85 more. When I called to complain I was told they would listen to my initial phone call and get back to me. So far two weeks and no word from them. Also, my first wax there was great. But the girl I had left (I wonder why) and I was given to Cassandra. Had stubbles the very next day. So I won't be going back anytime soon! read more

After 4 phone calls from them requesting different information from me prior to my appointment, 1 day and time change I finally made it to my appointment. I was given nuerous packages of paperwork to fill out prior to my facial skin tightening laser. I was informed the person I was booked for was running behind. It was 30 - 40 minutes before she saw me. They took a photocopy of my drivers license, not happy about that. I had the most painful experience of my life with absolutely no results other than I am out money and wasted 1 1/2 hours between phone calls, paperwork, waiting for my appointment and having the proceedure. I will never go there again, waste of time and money. read more

I have been going to Suddenly Slimmer for almost 10 years. I am extremely happy with all their services! The staff is very knowledgeable when giving information and different options that are right for you. They are focused on what is best for you and not just trying to sell products. I have referred many of my friends and will continue to do so because they are amazing there!! read more

Don't go here!!! Very Bad!! First off when I got there and finally was taken into the Dr's room, she said, I don't have any appointments why are you bringing her in here. That's just not good to begin with. Needless to say things just got worse from there. I was there for Botox and fillers. I now have black a blue marks all over my face. I have had Botox and fillers before and never have I had black and blue marks all over my face. I am disgusted and will not recommend this horrifying place to anyone. It has now been 2 weeks and I still have marks all over my face. read more
