Spanish Peel Treatment with Whitening Mask at Skin Central - Ebay Kuponan voucher

Tuesday, May 8, 2012
I bought a Spanish Peel Treatment with Whitening Mask (Face or Underarm) at Skin Central voucher in Ebay Kuponan. It costed me PHP299 each.

Wrong move. I bought three of the treatment thinking that it would be nice to have it done once a month. Wrong decision.

Like most treatments, you would have to first call. That is what I did. I called Skin Central several times a day for like almost a week. Nobody answers the phone. Since it was near my office, I dropped by to personally make the reservation in St. Francis Square. That worked.

The treatment day came... and it was disappointing. I arrived 5 minutes before the treatment. I was told to wait and to sit down in their plushy chairs. After an hour of reading old and torn magazines, I still wasn't called. Still being nice, I told the woman in the counter that I will just come back to have my lunch. My schedule was at 11 and I was starving with the wait so it kinda ruined my schedule.

I came back, and then the woman in the counter smiled at me and said I should be next soon. Now, what got me irritated was that there was this woman with a toy dog in a bag, all dressed up, doing short talk with the employees, waiting for her turn, too. I arrived approximately 30 mins earlier than she did yet they assisted her first. She left after her treatment, I was still there waiting for my turn. I thought at that time that I should have come there wearing a suit instead of my comfy tank top and jeans.

Finally, my turn came. The employees sounded like they were even pointing at each other as to who is going to do the treatment. I started to wonder that I may look like a penniless person to them or something.The Spanish peel treatment was awful. It hurt like hell. It felt like my skin was burning but at that time, I thought that this may be okay and would be better in a minute since the girl was dabbing like a wet cloth in my face.

Three days later after the said treatment, my skin was still peeling. It was dry for a whole week. I wished I filed a vacation leave because it looked horrendous that skin was peeling away from my skin as if I was sick.In the end, I did not use my other two vouchers from eBay Kuponan. PHP598 gone to waste.

    That's a horrifying experience! Good thing that I have read your reviews regarding that Skin Central @ St.Francis. It sounded like the employees are not professional & not worth a time to drop by personally! Geeeeez! you've got a lot of patience out there.

    By the way, how was your skin now?

    na contact number...ring lang talaga ng ring and NO ONE WILL ANSWER YOU. base sa napagtanungan ko. hindi dao nila talaga sinasagot ang calls kasi mas maraming irate calls silang nakukuha rather than inquiries...

    3. lahat ng staff ng skin central hindi dumaan ng PROPER TRAINING bastat they know how to operate the machine sabak n lng sa floor... (ginawang callcenter!!!)

    4. WALA cila supersivor to supervise the staff...at walang rin haharap sa iyo incase na me problem sa voucher mo..kun me makakausap ka dun natao they will DEFINITELY say na MALI MO hindi Sila makikinig sa iyo basta Sila tama...IN short they will make you look like a fool PERIOD.

ACTING LNG HA!! hindi lng yun bastos din ang mga staff dun...what do you expect BASTOS din kasi ang acting nilang supervisor..me pinaghuhugutan mga staff!!!

    5. Yun MANAGER sa skin central...he will NEVER HELP YOU..sa madaling salita he just let his little bitches do their work...NOT RELIABLE

    6. MAGULO SA MAIN BRANCH NILA...LAGING ME COMPLAIN SILA SA CUSTOMERS..when i was there YUN isang babaeng customer dun accident nasunog ang kilikili at nagtuturuan ang mag staff bubulungan pa sila.. then after 3 hours isa nanaman customer ng ensogo complaining about sa voucher, na sabi niya hindi pa nya nagagamit yun voucher ay nakapunch n rao sa kanila then IN good timing me isa nmn nagrereklamo METRODEAL cya bumili ng voucher saying ang layulayu dao ng house nya then hindi cya ininform na cira ang IPL machines nila. tumatawag dao yun customer walang sumasagot(nasunugan diba yun isang customer ng kilikili diba!! natakot sila gamitin ulit then they saying sira tsk tsk).

    I should have read these reviews and comments before I wasted my Php 1999 on SKIN CENTRAL! I'm really devastatingly mad on their metrodeal promo on UNLIMITED ELOS LASER HAIR REMOVAL. The actual service is not what it says in the deal!
    1. Voucher value is supposed to be Php 30,000.00!! In actual one can only get service worth Php 1,000.00!! This goes to say that buyers like me pay Php 1,999.00 for the service value of only Php 1k!!How can I say this?The shots is only limted to 3 per underarm, a total of 6 shots per session! Other laser service providers can give as much as 12 shots for Php 99.00 per session! SHAME ON YOU.
    2. The fine print of the deal includes a skin consultation before the procedure. NO SUCH thing happened during my first visit! Wla rin nga sinabi na mga bawal gawin after the treatment. NI WALA NGANG SUPERVISOR na haharap s mga customers n ngrereklamo!
    3.The interval between sessions as stated in the deal is 2-3 weeks! If I did not ask the staff I would not even know that the actual interval is ONE MONTH!! How dare you to tell me na sana tumwag muna ako bago ko binili ung voucher!!!Tumwag poh ako pero I did not inquire about the intervals because IT IS ALREADY CLEAR IN THE FINE PRINT!! "DON'T change the rules during the game!" Tapos malalaman ko n lng na isang buwan pla!! DAMN YOU!

    I am so mad that I don't want to continue the remaining 11 sessions. My Php 1,832.41 is wasted!

    I"M TELLING YOU..Before you purchase Skin central deals, you read othe reviews also. Their services are not worth your money.

    S*** the same thing happen to me.. Grabe i wont buy any of those voucher again.. nakakainis talga

  1. La Vie said...:

    From Voucher Reviews Admin -Thanks for your comments and sorry for the late reply!!! Ingat po to everybody! I still continue to buy deals and vouchers para kung sa ano-ano pero hindi na ako bumibili ng services for my face... no facials... no lasers... no peels... I am thinking na hindi worth it na masira yun face ko for something like this... Katakot na umulit. Although I have friends who swear by diamond peels pero siguro pass muna ako for now. Pero sa SKIN CENTRAL? NO NO NO! Don't buy any service from them... You just have to read from my blogpost and comments that their services are not to be trusted talaga.

    I'm here because I want to commiserate with other people who have been misled/mistreated by Skin Central.

    My experience: When I called to make schedule my first session of ionto-whitening, sabi sa akin kailangan ko daw bilhin yung maintenance set nila worth 950 para maavail yung unlimited sessions na binili ko sa Ensogo. WALA sa terms nila na meron pang babayaran. Clearly it was a breach of terms!!!

    Ang nakakainis dito, yung receptionist nila nakikipagunahan pang magsalita at ayaw makinig (I'm talking to you, LYN!!!) Hindi niya maintindihan ang pagkakaiba ng meanings ng 'recommendation' at 'requirement'. PWE! I regret ever buying that voucher. Mura nga pero mapapamura ka naman talaga!

    Mali pa yung email add na binigay sa akin ha. Buti na lang may internet kaya nasearch ko. I'm not expecting much from their email reply. Masyado na ako nadisappoint sa phone conversations namin at sa nabasa ko dito. Already called Ensogo to refund.

    Hi Lyra!

    Thanks for leaving your own feedback. Sorry to say pero matinding scam yan ginawa nila na yan! If it's not written on the details why should you pay for it?

    Anyway, I wish you good luck sa pag refund sa Engoso. Refunding from Ensogo is not as easy as refunding with Metrodeal. I have tried to asked for a refund before from them but it seems that they call the vendor first to ask "permission" to give a refund. If the vendor does not agree, then you don't get any. Please let me know how it goes in your end!

    Same experience sa phone conversation sa main branch ng skin central. Nakakasira ng araw, napakabastos and walang modo yung nakausap ko na si marian. Nakikipagsabayan talaga, habang nageeplain ka sasabyana ka ng pagdaldal. Nakakainit ng ulo. Nagpapavalidate lang ako and papaschedule. 1 week na ko ng tetext and ngeemail and tumatawag walang reply. Keso yung may hawak daw ng phone na nagvavalidate e may sakit ano yun 1 week na may sakit. Hinanap ko yung supervisor nila sa sobrang gigil ko sa nakausap ko kaso wala daw dun. Grabe pinakaworst.
    Nagsisisi ako ng avail ako. 2 voucher pa naman.

    Try ko rin tawagan ensogo para sa refund.

    Ms. Lyra ano po nangyari sa pagrefund sa ensogo?

    ENSOGO DEALS REVIEW
    SKIN CENTRAL DEALS REVIEW

    If I were you, I'd rather not buy any deals or coupons or vouchers from them. If you already have one or two or more, think twice or thrice, and seek help if you're planning to pursue their services/products. Things to expect:

    1) Unlimited is just a catch. UNLIMITED means = LIMITED
    2) The discounted price doesn't end there. Don't rejoice yet for such a cheap deal. For example, if your coupon is worth P499, expect your bill to reach 4k or more before the procedure/service/product is given to you.
    3) Free services/items included in the deal will not be free. FREE = not free
    4) It's either you stop seeking ways to get the service/product due to poor customer service and tons of their reasons to evade accommodating you OR get the service/product but expect to PAY MORE for VERY LOW quality of service/product.

    I didn't know Ensogo and their merchants, specifically Skin Central from my experience, are scamming people from years ago. I fell victim to their modus operandi just this July 2015.

    For those seeking to avail of Skin Central services and products as regular customers (those without coupons or vouchers or any online deals thinking that you could get away comfortably because you would pay the regular price anyway), I suggest that you'd rather not avail from them and patronize their offers in support for those people who were scammed from years ago until this year 2015.

    SCAMS BY ENSOGO including SKIN CENTRAL as one of their merchants

    SKIN CENTRAL = VERY POOR SERVICE / CUSTOMER SERVICE = FALSE ADVERTISEMENT = EXPENSIVE = UGLY SKIN

    False advertisements are just one of the ways Skin Central and Ensogo lure people to avail of their products/services. Prices posted online and in their clinics are not final. They will quote you a very much higher price than expected when you are still infront of their desk. The price given at the reception/lobby area will be different from the price that they will ask you to pay before they will perform any procedure on you (while you are already lying on the clinic bed, prepped for the procedure like cleansed, etc). Worse is that you will agree with the much higher quoted price just to get the service done properly but lo and behold what you'll see infront of the mirror. Plus, they'll ask you to buy expensive but low quality products. You'll just agree just so they won't harm your skin or just go out from there peacefully.

    Thank you all for sharing your feedback regarding Skin Central. There is an ongoing deal for Diode Laser treatment in Ensogo with Skin Central and it is really tempting! It's only P3999 for 12 sessions for medium area. How cheap is that?! I'm sold into buying the deal but I called them first and asked for details. They said that 12 sessions for medium area is not enough because they use less 'click' for lasers for those who avail the voucher. They advised me that I need to get at least 36 sessions for it to be effective.

    36 sessions of Diode laser to make the hair removal effective? What kind of obsolete machine are they using? Who are they kidding?

    Anyway, good thing I found this article while researching for Skin Central reviews. I'm glad I've saved myself P12k :)

    I'm glad that my review of their services has been able to help you! For those who also had a bad experience or maybe good with Skin Central, just post a comment here so more people would know. THANKS!

    bought 5 vouchers from ensogo (UNLIMITED FLAT PIN WARTS REMOVAL- 3 areas) as gift for my relatives that just visiting from U.S. and Guess what?
    they are very satisfied with the service. the facialist assess my 5 aunts and the SKIN TAGS and SYRINGOMA is not included on the deal, its just flat pin warts (take NOTE).. so now i understand why do they charge extra payment.. the total cost is just 1500 plus the medicine for anti infection.. thats so cheap.
    since its a good feedback, i bought one for myself the diode laser but unfortunately the staff havent trained yet so they dont want to do the service and its understandable. i asked them if how many sessions do i need so i can buy more to ensogo.. the facialist told me that it depends on the hair growth some just 10 sess, some are 20 sess.. some has no effect.. wow! sabi ko ang honest naman ng staff..
    so i just opted for SUPER PEEL coz have discoloration and chicken skin and sold the home meds DRIWHITE and QUICK BLEACH as life maintenance.. lol..
    after 2 weeks my UA really got lightened. thanks to skin central..
