Slim Beauty Center

I have been going to Slim Beauty Center for almost a year now for their slimming body treatments and I must say, you get your money’s worth.
I was introduced by a Living Social deal and it was close to my office, so I thought I would give it a shot. I admit, it does take some getting used to. A few of the rooms are shared, and you’re practically naked, wearing nothing more than a thong «Paperkini,» as I call it, so they can massage just about every inch of you. Most of the ladies also barely speak English which might make them seem somewhat cold at first, but being a regular, they’re very sweet once you get to know them.
The treatment is a 3 part process: First they oil you up completely so the machines glide over you more easily. Then they use a combination of a few machines; they usually switch up the order upon every visit so you get to try them all, but you can make a request if you have a specific machine you prefer.
One of them is a bumpy vibrating type of massager that breaks up your fat. Another is a sucking machine that kind of cups your cellulite areas and evens them out. The final is a hot metal bar that is soothed over your body to melt fat. I actually did bruise my first few times with the first 2 machines, but you get used to it and they’re honestly SOOO effective.
Finally, you are all wrapped up in cellophane and placed in a heat wrap to sweat for 45 minutes. You can also purchase an extra «slimming wrap» to be wrapped up in while you sweat for an extra $ 15. You have your choice of the «slimming» or «tightening» wrap. I usually get the tightening on my thighs; It’s nice and cooling like eucalyptus or Vix Vapo rub which gets your blood circulating.
Living Social sells a promotional first time treatment for $ 39, or 3 treatments for $ 99 which is actually pretty great. It might not feel like it upon your first or second treatment, but I truly began to see results in my legs, stomach, and rear after 6 or so sessions. Like with any slimming treatment, you have to stick with it, going at least once a week, along with keeping a decent diet and exercise regimen; but this def helps with your cellulite and tightening problem areas. I like it and recommend it.

I had been a customer for more than a year now. All the reviews here are true. Service is lacking and tries to sell by prepaid payment. This place got me because of their so called promotion package. I tried their body treatment. It doesn’t work. You only sweat and the problem areas don’t really get affected by whatever treatment they do. I just tried because I want to firm my arm and tummy area and I think exercise is the best thing to do. I’m 5’4″ tall and weighs only 121 lbs so I don’t really need to lose weight so I stopped and just had facials for my remaining balance. However their facials sucks too. Yes the place is not relaxing at all. Noisy, too many interruptions, service was inconsistent. Jade the receptionist/​salesperson can persuade. But after going to another facial spa near my home I saw a big difference in my skin. Slim body is actually drying up my skin by using the hard mask. This company does not know skin care at all. I’m so upset being naïve about their sales talk. Their service is terrible. There’s no training to staff not professional and just there to get your money after finishing the package I won’t definitely come back. The owner should do something to improve their machines their staff and their ambience. The one star is just to be civilized about this place. In retrospect I felt I’ve been robbed. It looks like a good deal but it is not. Beware!

This place is a JOKE! Pictures DO lie! I was so disappointed with my entire experience!!! They tried to get me to purchase additional «slimming lotion» for the session that was not included in the Groupon. She even tried to get me to purchase a series/​package of treatments that was ridiculous. My main concern is that the machines are OLD with outdated technology. I was so disgusted being lathered with massage oil and having those old, refurbished machines touch me. YUCK! I honestly could not wait to get home to shower in scolding hot water.
There were a few sanitation issues that I noticed as well. The room that I was in was not as clean as it should’ve been. There was lots of clutter, just stuff everywhere, an overflowing trash can, etc. The reception area and back office she took me in were the cleanest areas.
The main reason that I gave this place one star is because the receptionist was nice, but the SERVICES WERE NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! I’ve received several body contouring services from 2 other places and I’ve always felt or saw a physical change in my skin in the areas treated after each session. This was a complete waste of money and time, never again!

Price is alright. Hard to make reservation, better make it at least 2 weeks in advance. Service is okay. The place is noisy, they don’t like to close the door when they perform facial and when there is a loud talkative customer, you will hear every single word they say and it’s very annoying when your are trying to relax during a facial. Even the employees themselves will just come into the room and talk with the employee that’s working on you loudly, they don’t really have a concern on customer’s feeling. Avoid to come during their lunch hour, the whole place smell with microwaved Chinese food.

Ok. So I came upon this spa because of Groupon.
I got a deal on Groupon that was one session of three body shaping treatments. You go in and it’s a small place. They take you to a room and take all your measurements. I weight my self before going in, I’m 5’1 and I weighed 121 lbs. I work out 5x a week and eat pretty good I just have a trouble area which is my tummy. Anyway, when I got there it weighed 131, that’s 10 lbs more! I’m sure my scale was not 10 lbs off! But whatever. So on group on is says you can choose from 5 options. Not true. Basically they have the treatment set up. I had to share a room with some one getting a facial, which was okay, but it your uncomfortable being almost naked with other people In the room then I do t recommend.
To get to the point the treatment was ok… They massage your skin it hurts and tickles. Then they basically wrap you in plastic wrap and cover you with this electric plastic blanket thing for 40 mins and you swear like crazy! That’s it. I lost a total of 2 lbs.
Oh and at the end they try to sell you a $ 900. «Promotion» for 10 sessions.

Do not waste your time and money.
They just try to get your money. I was sold on the slimming service. After I pre-​paid they told me I needed to buy the body wraps for $ 15 extra each time in order for it to work. Their technology is old and truly does not work. The only good thing was the infrared sauna or wraps where you detox and sweat after.
They are always behind, they speak little to no English, they ignore you to take other clients, they cannot answer nutrition questions as they are not knowledgable, and are constantly trying to sell you more overpriced products that you can find online for way less.
They tried to get me to continue and I told them it didn’t work and it was a waste of my money. I work out 5 – 6 days a week and eat very clean. She tried to tell me that it must be my diet?! I have a certification in Health coaching certification and been to nutritionists, so I know a thing or two about nutrition. They gave me the worst service my last day and tried not to give me my full service. Then they tried to tell me I am working out too hard and I need to so light excercise in order for it to work?!
Found Lipo-​wraps on amazon that are helping and very inexpensive.

I’ve been coming here for about a month. So far so good as for the services. The ladies are very friendly and good with their service. I gave them a 3 stars due to lack of privacy. During my last two body treatments I had to share my room with another lady and it was halfway thru my treatment (while I’m half naked) that they walked in. I didn’t object since it would be rude on my part and for the price I’m paying I guess i can’t expect first class treatment but at least privacy. During my body wrap session a week ago a lady walked in to restock the towels and since there’s no space on the counter top under the cabinets, she placed a stack of towels on top of my legs while she organize the towels. I overhead a lady outside the door witnessed it and was stocked but I didn’t get any apologies. Like I said I know I’m not paying a lot so I can’t expect first class treatment but privacy is really important. I did purchased a series of body treatment and some products (red body wrap) because it was actually every reasonable and affordable.

Don’t come here. The receptionist will tell you anything to get you (your money) in.
But don’t expect the result. She will not write down whatever promises she says & give you blank receipt with no company name or her name as the recipient of the payment.
Very fishy. She said it’s not her job to write down her name on the receipt.
If you get scars from the procedure they’ve done, they won’t be responsible.
You will spend more money to fix their work.

I bought a Unilocal certificate to use at Slim Beauty Center and then made an appointment. Slim Beauty did not honor the Unilocal certificate and I had to pay full price. They said the certificate was only good for weight loss or facials. I had several dark spots removed from my face. Their sign outside said spot removal $ 5 (and up) per spot… none of my spots were of the $ 5 variety (even the lightest were $ 10 — they were the size of a pencil tip). The spot removal service was good, but I did have to remind the technician of a few spots that she missed — kinda weird! The hassel with the lady at the front desk concerning the certificate was awful. While the certificate terms were clear (see below), she kept repeating that it was not good for spot removals. I was horrified, exhausted and embarrased.
Terms of the Unilocal Promo:

Up to 3 can be purchased as gifts for others. 24-​hour cancellation notice required or your voucher is forfeited. Subject to the General Terms at
. Amount paid: $ 38

Fraud fraud fraud. This business is offering a $ 38 for $ 95 Unilocal deal but will not tell you until it’s time to pay that the deal is only applicable for specific services. Deal states «voucher can only be used for services, not products». I had some facial sun spots removed and when I shared my redemption code, I was told the voucher was only applicable for facials. They then charged me $ 150. I am never coming here again and am advising everyone I know to not give this place business. Very shady and misleading.

I saw the $ 48 for $ 110 deal last week here, and I did the facial over there, it got turned out great, my face skin got so much more softer and watery. I also bought the 20 times package for CHEAP!!! I would recommond everybody gives Slim Beauty Center a shot, awesome place!

My mom got me a gift certificate to here for a facial, more specifically to extract black/​white heads and those inner build up pimples. First of all, I got totally DIVIDED attention. The lady was walking around and the door was open, on top of that they were vacuuming; it was just LOUD. Anyways, they didn’t even do a good job extracting my face! I’ve never felt so ripped off doing a facial before. I’m going back to my old place.
EDIT
I went back with my mom to complain and their service was horrible! Guess what the lady said? «oh, those white heads you got to extract it» EXACTLY! She freaking said it herself! Why didn’t she do it for me? –_​– Are you freaking kidding me? I didn’t pay money to get my face washed, I can do that at home. And that girl in the reception had such a bad attitude. Can I give this place ZERO star?
EDIT — In reply to the reply I got from the «owner»
I didn’t realize she replied until now. And as of today I still rmb how bad this place was. Anyways, @owner are you saying I’m blind? I clearly saw it with my own eyes that it was a vacuum cleaner! I guess you broke the law.

I come here mainly for Detox. I used to just come for the sauna, where they «encapsulate» me. Since the new owners took over, they have brought in New slimming machines and new treatments have been introduced. I am now trying the new slimming machines. They have a weighing machine that can even tell you of your fat weight. I have been steadily loosing weight, not a whole lot, but this is mainly because I do not follow the diet :) But I am still happy with the result.
I like the ladies that are working here. They are knowledgeable and very efficient.
