My horrible experience with New York Skin Solutions.

Did five hours of OT today but I won't be paid for that. Had to meet a client after opening hours to sign some documents. By the time I was done with all the paperwork, I was already late for tuition. Since tuition was cancelled, I decided to have lunch with my client to build a better relationship with her and her daughter.

Went to New York Skin Solutions with Hui Jun after the lunch date with my client. Our appointment was at 5PM but we only got to do our facial at 730PM. They made us wait for two and a half hours! Before that, they tried to make us sign a package, which Hui Jun did. I was there for a trial which was supposed to help me to decide if their service and products are suitable for me and if it is worthwhile signing a package with them. It makes no sense for me to sign up for anything even before I try their service.

After the facial, I decided that it just wasn't worth the price. Hui Jun mentioned her difficulties as a student so the consultant quoted us student price: $300 for 5 sessions. It is even cheaper than the previous package I had with Body Contours.

Here are some of the reasons why I think it is not worth it though it is so cheap:

1. They stressed that they do customized treatment facials but they used the same products on both Hui Jun and I.
2. Other than the extraction, which was extremely painful, I can do everything else she did on my own at home.
3. They always portray themselves as a high end salon but there was no private room. FYI, I always had a private room when my facial was done at Body Contours.
4. I feel that the therapists were not professional at all.

When I rejected their offer, they kept asking me if it was out of my budget. How can a banker not be able to afford something even a student can afford? I thought that was a humiliation to me and my bank.

I hold no grudges against them. These are just my honest and humble opinions. Those who do not believe me are encouraged to try it themselves.
