Streetdeal.com vouchers

Read:
$88 Streetdeal - vouchers purchased using my credits
Streetdeal $88 membership fee (quarterly) - beware!


I mentioned $88 was deducted from my credit card as membership fee.  I made a complaint and the amount was converted to credits, not cash refund.  The vouchers purchased via Streetdeal were horrible.  Shouldn't have been soft hearted and should insisted POSBank to stop the funds to Streetdeal.  Another reason was the cash credit was only $86.30 after Streetdeal have offset some fees so it was different - not the actual $88.  Was told vendor settlement is done on a monthly basis.  All I need to do was to fill up a bank form once I receive statement that showed amount has been deducted.

Most of the actual ad on Streetdeal were taken down so I can't printscreen or insert hyperlinks.

1) Tummy Detox Treatment at Aesthetic Pretty 360, Singapore Shopping Centre

I spent my time just for the beautician to brain wash.  The voucher I had was 30 mins so beautician said I must top up because she can't do any tummy detox with only 30 mins.  This is frustrating.  30 mins insufficient for tummy (one area only)?  Dishonest.  The worst was I heard a man's voice in the next cubicle and the massage cubicle wasn't locked for privacy.  Would female customers be happy to be almost naked in such environment?  Aesthetic Pretty sucks!


2) 30-MIN Tui Na Gua Sha Back Treatment + Back Cupping Detox (worth $68) with My Beauty Research!  I ended up with bad eczema.  Read review


3) $18 for 90-MIN of Facial & slimming Package - Includes Japanese Collagen Facial Treatment +
Japanese Slimming Treatment (worth $180) by Unicorn Beauty!
Total treatment duration: 90 minutes
Japanese facial & slimming combo
State-of-the-art technology and premium products from Japan
Advanced slimming technology from Japan

The beautician recommended that I try their facial and eye mask, which means skip slimming.  She suggested a top up so that I get a full facial that includes extraction, face massage and scrubbing but I said no. I asked why facial doesn't include extraction but no indicated in the Streetdeal.  She said it depends on how Streetdeal wants to market the deal, the company and her has nothing to say, there's nothing she can do to make customer like me happy.  If I'm unhappy, feedback to Streetdeal.  I didn't because Streetdeal sucks! The whole duration was less than the stated 90 min.

Facial was performed using a warm and cold KIRA machine - collagen scaling and lifting.  Beautician warned that I have a lot of blockage and since I didn't want to pay $68, which is their full facial price, the collagen is unlikely to be absorbed by my skin.

Felt the Slimming was something ok because she did put in some strength to rub.  Totally different from what I get in Skinologies/Prestigious Solutions. Believe it is also a form of cavitation.


4) $18 for 60-MIN Traditional Tuina Full Body Massage + TCM Cupping / Back Guasha
(worth $288) at Beautiful Life Beauty, Clementi!
Went on 31 Oct.  The beautician gave me a back massage.  Her method is quite different, she used her elbow to press and rub my back which is painful.  She asked me whether I have any ache, I said shoulder but she didn't really focus on it.  I indicated that no oil to be applied on my legs due to eczema but she completly skipped my legs claiming no time for my legs and arms.

Before I started my treatment, her senior came over to press on my acupoints and kept asking whether I felt 酸痛 on the points.  I said no.  She insisted that I should feel 酸痛 on the points she pressed because those are related to my kidneys - the cause of my eczema.  They tried to persuade me to top up $18 for infra red - a special light that detox and warm my back for easier tuina.  I asked how would I know my body is doing detox, they couldn't answer.  Later, the beautician said I could go to the internet to read about that infra red.

After my back tuina, I was giving a 20 mins cupping.  This is the first time, my back didn't show any cupping markings, it was totally clear skin.  Just shows what sort of quality they are delivering.  Beautiful Life Beauty is horrible.  I don't advise anybody go.
