OMG!  This place is very unprofessional and horrible!  If I can give it negative stars, I would have.  I cannot believe the facial experience that I had went through yesterday.  I could not wait to get out of there and if I hadn't bought my voucher via Half Off Depot, I would had walked right out.

So, let me start from the beginning.  First off, the aesthetician/owner, Renata Nall, was not professional via email when I tried setting up an appointment.  That should had set me off my first clue already.  I had set my appointment for 5:30 PM and received no pre-confirmation phone call.  On the day of the appointment, somebody from their office called, didn't introduced themselves, and just said straight out, "I don't know how to say this name nor read it, but does somebody have a facial here?"  The lady took me by surprised and before answering, I questioned her back, "Is this PCA?"  She confirmed that she was and I told her that I had a 5:30 PM facial.  She asked if I can come in at 5:00 PM instead and since I want to give everybody a chance first, I went ahead and said yes.  

Driving there was okay, but trying to find the darn building was frustrating because the numbers were hard to find.  I finally found it after almost passing it.  The building, which was more like a home, had a chiropracter's business name on it, but I thought I'd give it a try.  Okay, so I'm going in a friendly man in scrubs greeted me and gave me forms to fill out.  I finished filling out the forms 10 minutes before my appointment and Renata was at the counter.  I'm still waiting and at 5:00 PM, Renata stated across the room, not even trying to get my attention with a maam or anything, "We're trying to wait for the machine to be turned on so it'll be just a few more minutes".  I'm looking at her like, "Are you talking to me?"  By now, it's 5:00 PM and if you are calling me to come in earlier than my appointment and I'm finished filling out my forms, then why are you just now turning on the machines?  What machines?  Not once did she introduced herself, said hello, or any type of greeting.  By now, I was fuming

On a side note, the man was the only one dressed for the part because he does the infrared body wraps.  As for the two ladies there, Renata, and I'm assuming the receptionist, did not dressed the part.  Renata was in a body fitting spaghetti strap tank with low rider jeans showing all her tattoos and the receptionist was in a skin tight orange mini dress with loud high wedge shoes.

Renata finally called me into her so called "spa" room 10 minutes after my appointment, made me sit down and asked me questions from the form.  Now, why didn't she do all of this while we were waiting for whatever machine it was to turn on?  She told me to get on the bed and I was surprised that she didn't tell me to change or take off my top so that my dress won't get ruined from dripping water or creams.  I laid on the bed and she didn't put on a headband or anything to block liquid from getting into my hair or hairlines.

Now here's the bad part...you would not believe this!!!  Long story short because I'm so heated up that I know I'm giving too much details....she had the ORANGE DRESS RECEPTIONIST (who not once introduced herself because she was too busy talking about her daughter) DO MY FACIAL!!!!  I almost cried!!!  The girl had to stomp to Renata every few minutes to ask her if she's doing it right or if she's using the right cream.  I had to dread through this for 1 1/2 hours!!!  I thought I was coming to a professional, not a aesthetic school?  What the heck?  And this was supposed to be a $90 value?  Everything the girl did, I could had done at home in the shower.  All she did was put on a mask, steamed me, rub the mask off, used a wet towel to wipe it off, used some kind of instrument to rub gook off my face b/c that's their way of an extraction, and oh get this....she even put the mask all over my eyes, tearducts, and lips!!!  I just had to ask her, "I thought the eyes were the most sensitive parts and you shouldn't touch it?"  She claimed that it should go everywhere...can you imagine my disbelief with my whole experience there?  After wiping everything off, toning my face, and moisturized it, I still had mask gook all up in my nose!  

OMG...I could had just cried with the whole experience.  I cannot believe that I had put myself through this for a measly Half-Off deal that was not worth it.  I really hope that the inspectors or BBB people check out this business and make sure that these people have license.  I really regret giving tip too, but that's just the type of person I am.

I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!  Please, for all of you that bought the voucher deals, let it be a lost because you do not want them ruining your face or body.  Throw away that money and go to a legitimate business.  If Renata was more into helping my face instead of where I got my dress from, I wouldn't be making this bad review as it is.

I've been to this theater 4 times already.  Last night we had watched Captain America and it was soooo good!  However, I am here to review the theater, not movie.  So bare with me here.  I've been lucky these past few times to always receive great service, atmosphere, and food.  You do not have those teenager kids making loud ridiculous comments, you do not have sticky floors, and you do not have anybody kicking your seats from behind.  When I'm watching my movie, I feel like I am at home just munching on my meal in a comfortable seat.  The temperature is just right and did I said the food was delish already?  *^_^*  My favorite was the Korean Tacos.  It's great from a long day of work because it saves time from having to go to a restaurant and then theater afterwards.  Why do that when you can have 2 things at one time?  I do have to admit that the restrooms are not up to par.  It's always flooded, sticky floors, and just plain dirty.  Overall, I don't mind coming here for date nights even though it's 30 mins away from my house.  I can't wait until they open up the Movie Tavern near my home soon.

I have been going here for years!  The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because your favorite student masseuse will always be changing each semester or quarter.  If you're lucky, you'll get a good one and can always request for him or her, but if you're unlucky, you'll just have to endure the next hour or two.  I like this new location better than the old one because it's halfway between home and work, but if you're coming out of the complex during rush hour, good luck.  The facility and atmosphere is much better than the first one and I like how they give options now for couple and not just single massages.  The current student that I am a fan of these days is Garrett.  He looks really young, but the moment that cute boy lay his hands on you, you are in heaven because he knows just the right pressure and movements, but still maintain his professionalism.  I can't wait to ask for him again.  Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm about to pick up the phone and see if he's available tonight...*_^*

OMG!  I will never ever come here again!  They gave me a FOOT FUNGUS!  I never even knew how or what a foot fungus was until I left this shop from getting a pedicure.  A few days later, my toes kept getting itchy...especially in between my toes.  I know I know...that sounds nasty.  Regardless, I have to give my true opinions to warn people of the sanitation at this nail salon.  It wasn't until I did some research and realized that I was having a foot fungus and from where else, but getting that pedicure.  So, not only did I wasted money on an infected pedicure, but also wasted money purchasing anti-foot fungus cream.  Just thinking about it makes me want to call an inspector on them.

When it comes to hair and nails, it's so hard to find the right person.  I've never returned back to nail salons that always speak Vietnamese in front of me because I feel like they're talking about me, asking me personal questions non-stop even though I'm pretending to read a book/magazine, bleeds me, gives me a foot fungus, gives me an attitude, not attentive, rushing through me to work on another customer, rude, and just plain sloppy.  

However, at Hammond Nails, I've always had wonderful service.  I usually go during lunchtime with an appointment and I'm seated right away no matter how busy they are.  Sokha and Karen are both great techs and knows when to talk to you and when not to.  I only trust them with my nails and they are very sweet, friendly, and experienced.  I have never had a bad experience here and would recommend it to everyone.

I don't know why I've been going here 3 weekends in a row ever since I was introduced to Sublime.  My favorite was the fresh strawberries and cream, A-Town Mocha, and White Chocolate Peach something.  There were too many varieties that had chocolate, but the best thing about this restaurant was that there were plenty of varieties to choose from.  I am addicted and why?  Because I want to try all the flavors...hehe!

The experience mechanic/owner really knows what he's doing in record speed.  His tone might be very abrupt, but he's actually a teddy bear.  Don't let his demeanor fool you because his expertise in his quality work really shows.  He's always willing to bargain prices with you and you have a comfortable waiting room.  The other owner that's always there on Saturdays is always professional and friendly.  He's always willing to communicate with you patiently and go out of his way to help speed up the process because he knows that our times is valuable.  This place is truly recommended!

I truly recommend this car shop to everyone because not only was the quality good, but so were the prices.  The mechanics really understands and takes the time to communicate with you about your auto and were very professional.  They go out of their way to fix whatever problems you have well past the closing times.  And, it doesn't hurt that the owner was cute and handsome!!!  *WINK*

Ormsby's

This was my first time at Ormsby.  The directions were easy to get to, but once you're in the vicinity, you can't really tell where the restaurant is without calling them and asking them or asking the complimentary valet guy.  It was just a big "O" on the wooden door at the bottom floor of Room and Board.  This is a first come, first serve restaurant and you would need to find your own seats.  It was a very loud atmosphere with the crowd, bar, and games, but our Ladies' Night was thoroughly enjoyed.  We relaxed ourselves playing with UNO until the food came and once it did, we were shocked at how big everybody's proportion was.  I ordered the delicious cajun boiled peanuts for $3, naked hot dog with avocado, chili, cheese, and jalapeno for $7, and the total bill with tax and tip included was $12.80.  The meal was worth it because we got leftovers to take home, it was good food, and we didn't break the bank.  I can't wait to go again!

Out of my 31 years, I had never thought of going to a dermatologist until now.  Don't know why since I've always had a problem with acne.  I found Dr. Robert Kelleher's Family Dermatology of Chamblee via my Aetna's website.  I did not know what to expect nor did they really explained.  Dr. Kelleher just came in to tell me where pimples came from (genetics and oil), looked at my face under the lamp for 1 second and prescribed me a facial for mornings and nights, Acanya Cream in the mornings, and Atralin Gel at nights.  I've been using them consistently for 2 months and so far, so good I guess.  I'm still having acne on my chin which is a result of hormones, but shouldn't I be improving more than this?  However, I am giving it more time for my face to get use to this.
