Lakewood Beauty Clinic

Got my lashes done here. The building was clean, and the aesthetician suite was cozy.

Today's visit at The Dream Spa was the best experience I have ever felt. It was so personal and really made me feel like I belong here. Carlee did my facial, and she was so gentle and helpful. She walked me through every step she took while making sure I was very relaxed and comfortable. I absolutely loved the visit I had today, and I will definitely mark this place on my calendar to come back sometime in the near future. Carlee was extremely personable and professional. The look of my face after the extraction was very satisfying.

To be clear, I am writing a review on my salon suite, not any technician inside of it. As a renter for 2 years, there were many issues and management changed often. Not to mention no communication ever with issues in the building and false dates on repairs: From monitor, not working, to entering nonsecure door that never seems to work, to no waiting area for people who were early or late for their appointments. Also, having crazy smells in the bathroom annually, located above Chips, lots of smells and grease trap problems throughout the year. The amount of beauty technicians that stay long-term is very short, the parking lot is awful and everything seems to be closing in the shopping center, after being there for two years, I found that I was having more issues than any other place I had rented at, not to mention they have the highest rent in the area. My Salon Suite corporate and their awful staff really do cover and try to band aid the faulty AC/Heat system (HVAC system) the AC went out many times, and the two years that I least. But in August 2023, it was out for more than three weeks where they placed an AC blower in my room (5 days later) that Im sure didnt reach TDLR standards. To make it work they drilled a hole in the ceiling where bugs started coming in The amount of communication I had with the owner and the management was ridiculous. It was the hottest month on record in Dallas, Texas, and they were in no hurry to fix the problems as soon as everybody started moving out (there were 8 suites out of 21 empty and open when I left at the end of September 2023.) they quickly remove all problems and paint over it and do not show the potential tenants whats really going on in the suite youre looking at. In particular I was in Suite 208 which I had learned had had many problems and many tenants, and when I was leaving, they were covering up everything and not showing the next potential client what was really going on in that room. There is a huge problem with balancing air and heat in this building, and to pay more to be by a window and have more problems than anything because youre next to a window as part of the problem. They are simply too corporate, too many rules and have ridiculous demands and what you can get elsewhere is way better. My Salon Suites corporate office runs with too much red tape and they do not allow you to flourish as a hairstylist. I have been doing this over 25 years and I have never experienced being treated entire career. It is really sad in our business with the raising cost to see a corporation that we are just a number and a weekly paycheck to them instead of a small business trying to thrive. I was treated no less than a number on a weekly chart and there was no response from anyone at corporate caring about the daily issues at that location. they only have three locations and Dallas the other locations are Lake Highlands, and deep ellum, and I cannot speak on them because I did not rent at those locations. But I can tell you the Lakewood Location is going down and so is the shopping center. The building is falling apart if you are a beauty professional, and are looking to rent a suite in Dallas, or even the Lakewood area. Do not rent here. It is awful. The building is falling apart, and this corporation does not know how to run things. I never make reviews, but I feel like I was ripped off and I feel like others will be ripped off and that is the point of this review. I have a very successful business and my clients started voicing concerns, and being honest with me once we had the AC and heat problems over and over again. My clients hated the parking lot. Also, they dont let you know when you rent there that you will have to be closed or alter your hours certain days because of all the marathons and celebrations in the area throughout the year. The set-up and built-ins are so dated that they waste space inside your studio. Dont rent here there are so many new options around the city that dont have these problems. My clients are so happy I left.
