I have joined www.onlybeauty.com.my early this month, where the website offers free sample for some testing... The first time I apply for a sample (9 May 2010), it succeed with a Mary Chia pampering facial which I am not sure how much it worth and RM100 cash voucher.
I've received a SMS on 14 May 2010, listing :"From ONLY BEAUTY ref. Congratulations! You have won yourself a FREE Pampering Facial Session + RM 100 Cash Voucher from Mary Chia Beauty and Slimming Specialist. Please get ready to receive call from Mary Chia consultants for appointment. Thanks. T&C apply."
Yesterday 20 May 2010, I've received a call from the consultants, where they didn't mention properly where are they calling from, making me confuse until I heard the word "only beauty", and ask me to make an appointment as soon as possible. The sentence is "Since your session is free of charge, we hope that you can make use of it within this month." Fine for me, since I will be going back to beloved hometown for 1 month plus holiday, so I've made an appointment for today 21 May 2010 11.00am. The branch was at KL Pavilion.
Today I've depart from home at 10am, however met traffic congestion along Federal Highway, making me late for 10 minutes for the appointment. Find a bit hard to go the Mary Chia but however finally found it at Seventh Heaven in KL Pavilion.
They served me a ginger tea, and after that require me to fill my particulars. After around 10 minutes a pretty consultant came in the room and keep on persuading me to change to other package or top up to another service, due to my sun-burnt skin condition from Phuket trip last week. She is a bit aggressive perhaps? on my stinginess in the session. She asks me to take a rejuvenating session which will cost me RM280 for 2 session or RM 140 for trial session. That is definitely out of my budget (I only plan to go for a free facial session, sorry to say that). After I refused, she tried to ask me to take an ampoule and free extraction for RM80 top up. That is a fair deal but my purse only has RM30!! haha pity I have to refuse again. She finally give up and go for the preparation work.
The next girl who serve me brings me to the locker room. It is a fantastic one! Thumb print for every locker for each customer and lock my sandals and bag in it, and change to their slippers. After that bring me to the washroom and after that enter the facial room. Change to the towel and she asks me not to take off my necklace due to the session will not include neck (hard to imagine- I can understand if it does not include shoulder but excluding neck??)
The pampering session was a very simple one, double cleansing with a mask. That's all. It is an ordinary session, which I can do by my own. A short steam on my face is done before applying the mask. The beautician has use a little bit of skill (massage like) on the second cleansing. According to her it is a whitening and hydrating session~ Forget to mention, the beautician also keep on persuading me to top up the service~~ Haiz~
The session was not long, around 45 minutes~ and the first consultant has take over me again, she does not promote their products (perhaps give up on me already), in good manner and wish me luck as a fresh graduate!!~
As a conclusion, I appreciate the chance to have a trial at so-called quite high class facial service in a high class place, but the persuade makes me uncomfortable. But my face is quite thick and shameless to reject all the add-on services haha. Thanks to the consultant for her wishes and not pushy at the end of the session, indeed they let me know that my face is in terrible condition if I do not do extraction!! (when they are persuading to topup)~
p/s: i didn't get the RM100 cash voucher yet... and i totally forgot to ask about it~~
