Everyone was nice and professionalPosted on Nik SkowronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TLDR: 1. Everyone is super nice 2. They really CARE about you, they’re not like other people that are obviously just money hungry 3. Procedure itself was quick, but not rushed 4. The place itself is beautiful and incredibly professional looking 5. Amazing results, highly recommend Kali! Could not possibly have asked for a better experience!! Everyone was incredibly sweet and welcoming, from the people at the front desk to the nurse herself. Kali was an absolute pleasure to work with. Every time I see her she is just as happy and sweet as ever. She made me feel incredibly comfortable there. The way she spoke, it never felt like she was pushing anything on me or encouraging me to do more Botox than I wanted. Also I love that she had me do a 2-week follow-up appointment!! The last lady I went to for Botox did nothing like that, so the fact that Kali wanted to see me again to make sure everything was going alright felt really nice and it really shows just how much she cares. The time spent doing the actual injections was super fast. I think we spent more time talking about it than doing it. I was amazed by how fast the appointment flew by. But it never felt like she was rushing. She was clearly taking her time and making sure she did everything right, it’s just that she has the skills to be able to do it quickly. The place itself is beautiful! Super clean and very professional looking. Both the waiting room and the exam room were absolutely gorgeous. The exam room especially felt boujee. I’m really happy with my results!!! My forehead looks so much better now. The wrinkles are basically gone, but it’s not like my face is frozen in place. I truly got exactly what I wanted. For reference, I’m 28F (with significant sunbed tanning history in my teens) and got 30 units of Botox in my forehead/between brows.Posted on Tahamina QTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
