Aura Skin Spa Highly Recommended
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

10/04/2006 Posted by kclark2

I recently moved to San Francisco from New York. Last week I visited Aura Skin Spa for Laser Hair Removal. This place earns five stars for several reasons. First is convenience. I work downtown in the financial district and Aura is only 5 minutes from the Embarcadero so I was able to have the procedure performed on my lunch hour. Two other exceptional aspects of Aura are its staff and its space. The nurse who performed my laser hair removal procedure was incredibly skilled, patient, knowledgeable, personal and professional. In the past when I've had these procedures performed I've always felt a little self conscious. But Aura's friendly and personable nurse made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed. The space is also stunning. Brand new construction with a high end spa feel to it. Now I haven't studied Feng Shui or other Zen design but I have a feeling Aura's interior adheres to these design elements because the interior made me feel calm and relaxed. Another important factor is Aura's equipment. I performed a lot of research prior to my decision to have laser hair removal starting last year and the data is clear that some lasers are more effective (and less painful) than others. Aura uses state-of-the-art technology. The right laser and nurse are key to getting your monies worth and Aura has both. Lastly, all these pieces come together to create outstanding customer service. Some people just know the magic to customer service (think flying First Class on Singapore or Virgin Airlines) and some people don't (think coach on United or Southwest). So five stars for Aura Skin Spa.
