beautiful skin 12/01/2013
Special thanks to Mordecai Skin Boutique and Street Directory for this invitation.
One may be easily mislead that this is a facial salon only for man or even mistaken this place as a tuition centre amidst all the other tuition centre. Located somewhere in the heartland of Ang Mo Kio, you can alight at the Ang Mo Kio MRT station and take a walk there. Mr Lam the boss, and his right and left hand woman are very warm, welcoming and friendly. You can be assure that there is totally no hard-selling and no gimmicks with this small team.
Some promotional posters seen to promote their services in the boutique.
Mr Lam and I had a chat after i filled up a questionnaire about my facial needs,before he got his staff to attend to my face.
Mordecai started as a franchise from Face of Man and they believe in using the right products to enhance a person's beauty. There is little use of machines as their focus is on products that are natural (does not contain alcohol,minerals and such) these are so important for someone with a sensitive skin like mine. They believe that beauty comes from inside and outside. They also believe in providing good service, so words of mouth will spread and customers will grow.
There are some interesting facts that he shared with me as we speak:
1. This is a unisex boutique, therefore they do no offer massage service (as woman usually have to change out to the robe/sarong that the facial salon provides)
2. This boutique was initially set up for man, but due to the increasing woman coming to "inspect" the place, they catered facial for woman too.
3. The boutique believe in extraction! (Removal of pimples).
4. All staff are either trained (holds a diploma of aesthetics certificate) or internally trained by senior staff.
5. The boutique focus on good service, word of mouth and using the right products.
Next, let me share with you about my facial experience in the next few photos.
The beautician removed my make up with what felt like only normal water (i wondered if it was clean enough?) and prepared my skin for pimple extraction.
She steamed my face to open up my pores.
Next, she proceed with the pimple extraction. (This step is often skipped by beautician in an effort to save time and trouble).
IPL was done to reduce and improve my pigmentation issues.
We proceed with an ampoule application, cooling facial mask and before I realized,
i was done. No ugly photos of those though, as the mask broke.
Review
All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. There were no hard selling.
The clinic focus on extraction of pimples which is good, especially for teenagers. Although they specialize in facial for men, you can be assured that ladies are well taken care of too. As they focus on the products they use, there isn't fear of your skin breaking out due to wrong usage of products.
The pimple extraction was a little painful for me but bearable as I'm used to doing that with my previous beautician. My face was glowing after the facial but i feel that more could be done like using antiseptic powder to reduce the redness in the pimples so that the redness goes off sooner than later. Some lotion could be applied after the mask and not let the customer walk out after removal of the mask would be nice too.
I would like to award 3 sunflowers out of 5 for the overall service and atmosphere of the place.
Here is a photo of me and the wonderful team.
