I was really excited to take my mom to Calidora for an afternoon on Mother's Day. We had 2 appointments for facials. I got a call in the am from the receptionist saying that one of the esteticians was sick. I was really bummed of course and was sort of disappointed that they didn't seem to make much effort to do anything else. Not another service/location etc..I decided to just let my mom take my appointment and when we showed up early they had scheduled her for the wrong treatment. The treatment they had her down for was going to take up to 2 hours and we didn't have that amount of time so I had to cancel that appointment too. They didn't seem to feel bad at all that our afternoon was completely messed up, and I had gotten a sitter and everything. When we were walking out, the receptionist said "do you want a free water?" I almost laughed. I emailed the director at Calidora after my experience just to give her feedback on how the front desk staff handled the situation and never heard back. Total disappointment in their customer service!
Cons: disappointing customer service

I have had several treatments at various Calidora locations and have always enjoyed my interactions with all of the professional staff. I have had good results with removing broken capillaries as well as facials. Unfortunately, the most expensive thing I've had done - a series of Titan treatments - has had a very disappointing outcome. I had 4 treatments done within the recommended time frame, about a year ago. After each treatment, I experienced skin tightening immediately, but then it would quickly diminish. I was told that the overall effect could take months to see. It never happened. My skin looks exactly the same as it did before I started the treatment. I am wary of Calidora for recommending such an expensive treatment that provided no results. And one other thing....my boyfriend went to Calidora to buy me a gift certificate for a present but wasn't sure what a reasonable value would be. The front desk person asked him my name so that she could look up the treatments that I'd had so she could recommend a reasonable amount for the gift certificate. She told him that I'd had my capillaries zapped, and that I'd had a series of treatments to tighten my sagging skin....and I had not intended that he know that information about me and I felt that was a breach of confidentiality! I was pretty alarmed when he came home and rattled off the treatments I'd received there!
Pros: Pleasant Staff
Cons: Treatments Did Not Work
