• Love the vibe, elegant, clean, progressive state of the art products and services. Ingrid is a Nurse she’s very knowledgeable and caring.
• It was my first time getting lip filler and I had already cancelled an appointment elsewhere so I was a bit nervous. Terra was amazing! I felt so comfortable almost immediately.
• I love DA. The first time I ever got Botox/filler was at the Sacramento location. They took care of me and answered all my questions, as well as calmed my nerves.
• Can I move in here? I came in last month to have a consultation with Starla. She was amazing and walked me through everything. I felt super comfortable and confident in her.
• I had a zoom consult this morning with Hailey and it was very informative and she took the time to explain all of the options for the look I’m trying to achieve.
• Veronica is amazing! Not only is she a fantastic injector- she makes the appointment easy and fun. She always remembers little things about your life and asks about them when you come in.
