I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Thérapie Clinic, particularly following my first visit to the White City clinic.
From the moment I arrived, I did not find the staff welcoming. During my laser hair removal treatment, I felt uncomfortable and on edge. I repeatedly explained that I wanted the lowest setting used, as I have already had amazing results with that setting and was completely happy with my progress. However, I did not feel that my request was listened to or respected, and instead felt pressured into trying a higher setting despite making my preference clear.
For a treatment as intimate as laser hair removal, I believe it is extremely important that clients feel comfortable, listened to and reassured. Unfortunately, I felt none of those things during this appointment.
The experience afterwards was equally disappointing. The practitioner left the room as I was leaving, and when I said goodbye to the member of staff at reception, I received no response. It may seem like a small thing, but combined with how uncomfortable I had already felt during the appointment, it left me feeling very unwelcome.
Unfortunately, this is also part of a wider poor experience I have had with Thérapie Clinic’s customer service. On another occasion, I was due to have treatment while on my period and did not feel comfortable proceeding. I had attempted to rearrange my appointment through the app within the required 48-hour period, but the app was not working and I took screenshots as evidence. Despite explaining that I had evidence of this, I wasn’t even asked to provide it before being told that only my bikini treatment could be cancelled and that I would still have to attend for the remaining areas.
I ended up attending because I did not want to lose the sessions I had paid for, despite feeling more sensitive and uncomfortable while on my period.
I have also contacted customer service/head office regarding appointments and asked to speak to a manager about my concerns. Rather than receiving contact from a manager, I received an email stating that my query had been resolved. I did not consider it resolved at all.
Overall, I don’t feel that my experience as a paying customer has been handled with much care, flexibility or consideration. I have purchased a number of sessions, which is the only reason I will continue attending until they are completed. Once my remaining sessions are finished, I will not be returning, and based on my experience so far, I would not recommend Thérapie Clinic.
