4700+ Reviews and a Perfect 5.0? Is This Surabaya Beauty Salon Using Fake Reviews?

Girls, seriously, seeing that string of 5.0 full marks and nearly 5000 reviews on Google, my first reaction was: Is this fake? 🧐 Are beauty salons here in Surabaya really this competitive? Having been in the beauty industry for so long, I haven't seen many"miracles" with zero negative reviews like this. With the mindset of"I'm going to see who this amazing place is," I went straight there.

So, what was the actual experience like?

As soon as I walked in, hmm... there was something to it. It wasn't that opulent, dazzling luxury style that makes you feel pressured; instead, it was very clean and bright, and the staff were all smiling, super polite but not pushy at all. The entire consultation process was like chatting with a friend; they would listen very carefully to your skin concerns instead of immediately pushing the most expensive package on you. This feeling of not being treated like a"leek," it's really Mantap! 👍

What I hate most are those beauticians who aggressively upsell while performing the treatment, but there was none of that here! The whole process was super quiet and super relaxing, the beautician's technique was professional and gentle, I almost fell asleep. Anjay, with these service details, no wonder there are so many repeat customers.

Are there any downsides? Let's be honest.

So, what's the biggest downside? It's... that there's actually nothing to complain about! 😂 I had originally prepared my little notebook for complaints, but I didn't write down a single flaw. Their 5.0 really isn't faked; it's just that from the front desk reception to the consultant to the beautician, every step makes you feel very comfortable, and your money is spent clearly. If I had to name one, it's that it's too popular, and if you don't make an appointment, you might really make a wasted trip.

Tips to avoid pitfalls & save money

Alright, for my Surabaya girls who want to go for it, here are the key points:

• You must book in advance! Don't think of just walking in with a"Nongkrong" mindset; they're so popular, no availability is normal. Book your time in advance via WhatsApp or phone.
• First time visiting? If you're not sure what treatment to get, you can first book a Doctor Consultation to have a professional doctor check your skin condition; it's much more reliable than blindly choosing yourself.
• Don't be shy! If you have any questions or budget considerations, communicate directly with the consultant. Their attitude is very good, and they will help you find the most suitable plan, not the most expensive one.
• Look out for Promos! You can follow their Instagram; sometimes they have package deals or discounts on new treatments. Every little bit saved helps!
