Shakura Pigmentation Beauty

There have been much complaints about this group already, essentially they are a scam:

I’ve gotten a trial promotion when I first came to KL and wanted to try them out since I don’t have any fixed facial parlour to go to yet. I went in for the first time and they did a face analysis for me to evaluate my skin. The review I got was that my skin was in terrible shape and I should be very afraid because my skin will degenerate soon. It came to such a point where they are talking to me in a rude manner and kept asking me if I had a credit card because she wanted to sell me a whole facial package that costs about RM1000.
I was very uncomfortable at that moment and made excuses to leave but the sales girl just kept bombarding me with sales talks and questions. After 40 minutes, I just sternly told her I am not interested and went off. It was an extremely unpleasant experience and I swear not to step into the place again. Cold blooded, blood sucking vampires vampires who wants you to sign facial packages! Yes, they are that creepy. So you better run run run!

This is by far the worst facial place I’ve ever experienced. I was introduced to this place by a friend of mine. She was telling me that she have a free trial, so being a typical woman, free facial, why not? So one day, I come here with my friend after work to have my ‘free trial’. This place specializes in skin pigmentation.
It was my very first time having pigmentation facial. At first, everything was alright. Like any ordinary facial, the therapist is very kind and chatty. Asked me about my job, personal stuff and even praised my outfit. Everything was normal and quite pleasant. Till after the facial session where the therapist will shows me my ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures and point out so many flaws of my skin and how ‘terrible’ my skin are and how ‘horrible’ it will get if I didn’t sign up a course of treatment with them.
At first I was quite okay with her idea of signing up a package. Well in my mind I’m thinking, only 500 over bucks for few times of treatment, not that bad because that’s the package that my friend signed. She press press press the calculator and then came up with the ‘BEST package’ she can give me ‘based on my skin condition’. Which came up to RM3,000+. WOAH! What?! Come again?! Of course I’m surprised, why do I need to pay 3k while my friend is only paying 500+? She sort of speechless of my knowledge about my friend’s package (hello? She’s my friend, we COMMUNICATE). Her reason being my friend is having the ‘basic’ treatment and ‘student’ price.
Of course I wasn’t ready to pay for that ridiculous amount of money so I politely declined the offer and told her that I didn’t earn that much and not planning to spend so much on facial. She then come up with ‘don’t be kidding, you’re working as bla bla bla… You must be earning a lot’, ‘you can spend so much on clothing, why not on your face?’ (now I know why she asked me so many question earlier on and even praised my dress) when all that doesn’t work she said ‘ask your husband to pay for it’ then followed by ‘you got credit card right? Pay by instalment’. Then I insist, I’m fine with the package my friend signed up for but not this RM3k package. Unless she can give me the same package as my friend’s I’m not gonna sign up for anything at all.
Out of desperation, she agreed to give me the ‘basic student’ package she gave my friend. Since she agreed, I couldn’t decline anymore. So I signed up the plan and immediately regretted it. The following few facial session (that I’ve signed up for) was stressful! Through out the facial sessions, she keep trying to engage me on a conversation, trying to know more about me and I have to pretend that I fell asleep to prevent any conversation that will be used against me to signed up for more package. I even thought of just forfeit the RM500+ I’ve paid to avoid seeing that therapist again, but I just couldn’t do it. Those are my hard earned money! So I ended up finishing the course. Each time was a drag. I practically drag myself there. And of course she convinced me again to have another ‘package’. It’s never gonna happen again. EVER.
So, that’s the worst facial experience I’ve ever had. Though I can bring a friend for ‘free trial’ (like how my friend brought me there) I would NEVER bring or recommend anyone over to this place. Because the therapist are just too scary. Facial is suppose to be a pleasant and relaxing experience, NOT stressful! Not that their product is not good. Just that the therapist is too pushy and scary. They just want to ‘squeeze’ you dry «for beauty sake».
Oh my, thinking about her gives me chills and goosebumps!
