Avoid this company!
My response to their reply: my review is indeed accurate! The only solution offered to me was to use the money toward a different service. You have refused to provide a refund. Or are you talking about the offer on BBB to *not* refund me but offered a $50 gift certificate which I refused? Please stop replying falsely and generically to this situation! I had an incredibly frustrating and disheartening experience with Skin Vitality in St. Catharines. I went in for a consultation March 21 2025 for lip filler and was offered a "zero money down" payment plan through Affirm. What they NEVER mentioned to me was that this plan is non-cancellable. The lady never discussed the refund policy, exchange policy...nothing! I was guided through the Affirm setup on my phone right there sitting in her office before signing any paperwork and then a paper was flipped upside down on the counter and told to sign it—no explanation, no transparency. I take responsibility for not reading both sides of the paper, but their approach was clearly designed to rush the process without being transparent. The entire sale felt very pressured and rush and they left out vital information. Only *15 minutes* (literally!) after leaving the clinic, I called to cancel because I felt overwhelmed and realized I wasn't ready to commit to lip filler. I’ve never had anything done to my face, and the anxiety hit me hard. At this point, no payment had been processed and no service was rendered. Still, they absolutely refused to cancel the Affirm contract. I’ve gone back and forth with their patient care team and there has been zero empathy or flexibility. They continue to insist that I signed and must pay—even though I reached out immediately. The only option they offered was to use the credit on a different service, which I do not want. I don’t feel comfortable having anything else done with a clinic that treats people this way. The fact that they have no refund policy and refuse to work with Affirm to cancel a plan when no services were provided is appalling. This situation is absolutely ridiculous! I filed a BBB complaint and Skin Vitality gave a generic FALSE response saying things about the contract that were not true and stated I was verbally told about the cancellation policies which I was not! It was never mentioned in the consultation! Also, I advised them that I confirmed im pregnant and can not safely have anything done and they have completely ignored that. Never acknowledged it! What type of business refuses to look at a client case by case and make reasonable exceptions? Im in disbelief and appalled. Look on BBB and there are several other complaints about this payment plan and how people are locked into it without any exceptions. They clearly care more about profit than people. I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear. Their customer service is cold, dismissive, and completely lacks compassion. Avoid Skin Vitality at all costs.
