Review: Transformula Estheticious

Location: Sungai Bakap
Late July 2014

This was my first visit to a facial salon.

The beautician was young and friendly and pretty.
But don't misunderstand; her hands were strong like Hulk's.
Really patient girl.
Because it was my first facial, I probably had three kilos of whitehead all over my face. And she patiently removed one by one. Probably she gained some satisfaction of removing the yucky gooey thing. I understand that feeling.

She was a bit ungentle. Well I understand her intention; but my pain tolerance level cannot tahan.
She probably jabbed some kind of needle into my deeper whiteheads. Unfortunately my skin reacted to it and it turned into jerawat batu. My face was bruising purplish like mad.

All in all, it's a nice place. It's quite close to my place too. I probably will stay with this saloon if they can match the price to groupon's (eg. RM28/session or equivalent.)

Review: JA Beauty Center

Aug 2014
Location: Perda
Living social RM28


It's quite a good place. The beauticians were really nice, and it felt like they really want to make you pretty. Topped up RM30 to remove oil seeds. They skipped machine massage because I just removed my oil seeds and they're avoiding swelling.

Friendly beautician who were skillful.

Drawback: placing too many customers in a room and all beauticians were chattering, it was quite a noisy environment. They even had a kid wandering around in the premise.

It's a cool place, but the price is not really competitive. If they can match living social offer (ex.RM28/session or equivalent), I'd probably stay with this spa.





Review: My Master Skin

Sept 2014

Location: Bay Avenue, Penang

As usual coupon from living social; RM28.

It's not a bad place. The beauticians are friendly. But not too pretty. Two of them were even overweight. Bad for business. I mean, would you trust someone ugly to make you pretty?

Treatment was okay, but I think they're too stingy. I mean, other salons offer full facial even for living social coupons. But this place did the very basic one only. The whitehead extraction was even scarce. One day later I already felt like my whole pores were clogged with impurities.

The beautician who did my treatment was very accommodating tho. First time I got the advice not to exercise as it would build my muscles and muscular girls are eww. She meant well, but if I'm to push a man down, I'd need to be at least stronger than the man right? Lol.

She really worked on my muscle knots even though I was the living social customer. It was nice.

Hardselling was not too pushy, but at the same time you have to be tough to say no. Btw, they know when you lie of your phone number to them.

Again, it's not a bad place. But I won't invest my money here because they're too stingy. Plus the whitehead extraction was too light. I probably need another facial before three weeks.
