If you’ve ever been to a sub-par salon or skin clinic, you know how bad the results can be. You may end up with misshapen eyebrows or an unsightly rash, and there are even horror stories of people developing painful infections after a trip to a more questionable establishment.

When it comes to finding a clinic, we may not all need to be pampered in the lap of luxury, but nobody wants to go to a place that will leave you worse off than when you arrived. If you’re looking for a clinic that makes the grade, here are four top tips to help with your search.

Best Reviews

Check out Yell or Google for reviews over the last year as online reviews have become indispensable, and Google has proven to be a reliable barometer of quality. Sure, every once in a while you may be let down by a highly-rated establishment, but Google’s reviews are accurate more often than not. If a spa has several four- and five-star ratings with only a few low-scoring comments, then odds are it’s a reputable place.

Are They at the Forefront of Skin and Beauty Treatments in Your Area?

See if they specialise in the treatments you are looking for. A lot of salons and clinics offer a variety of different services, from waxing to skin treatments. Look closely to see if they seem to specialise in the treatments you are after in order to get the highest quality.

Ask the Salon or Skin Clinic directly

Ask questions. If you want to know if your technician knows his or her stuff, then feel free to quiz them. Ask about different skincare treatments or how to prep the skin before a skin peel treatment. Asking questions is a great way to determine your aesthetician’s knowledge and experience, and if he or she can’t answer a few simple questions, then you may not want them working with you.

Does the Salon or Skin Clinic Look Clean?

Take a look around. A quick look around a salon or clinic can tell you a lot about how reputable it is. If the space is cluttered or stained, then these are clear indicators that the therapists don’t take pride in their work or care about providing superior service. 

Finding a quality salon or clinic that suits your needs can be tricky. But if you do some research and keep your specific needs in mind, then you should be able to find a skin clinic in your area that’s right for you.
