Karen Stickrod, Aesthetician

I've been seeing Karen for years and am always satisfied.

10/15/2020

This was my third microneedling appointment with Karen. She's incredible! From the very first appointment, she made me comfortable and listened to my concerns. She quickly determined a plan of action and paid attention during each treatment to how my skin reacted. I'm starting to see results and will be back for a HydraFacial shortly.

09/01/2020

Karen is a wonderful professional, who made the experience more enjoyable and less anxiety producing than I expected. My skin appears fresh.

07/27/2020

Karen goes above and beyond!! I've never had such a great derma-planing done! My mom had [name] and she wasn't happy with her service.. apparently [name] cuts corners and rushes through .. we like to come get a facial at the same time but can't anymore since Karen is the only best one y'all have now. Need to employ more like Karen!!

07/20/2020

The aesthetician was thorough, friendly, informative, and took time to answer my questions. The treatment was not as painful as I expected and the interaction with the entire team was positive. [Single best thing is...] The time spent with me in my procedure. Nothing felt rushed.

04/10/2020

Karen spent a lot of time with me and explained how the treatment was beneficial. [Single best thing is...] My skin felt amazing

03/17/2020

Karen is professional and knowledgeable and very friendly. [Single best thing is...] My wrinkles are less noticeable and my complexion is smoother.

Halo Hybrid Fractional Resurfacing

Love the results and Karen always makes me feel comfortable. [Single best thing is...] I feel like it gives my skin a glow.

03/05/2020

Karen did an excellent job explaining the procedure, and the treatment was very comfortable. She also gave great instructions for after care that were very helpful. Overall easy, relaxing procedure. Very happy with the easy recovery and so happy with the way my skin looks after only 2 weeks.

03/01/2020

[Single best thing is...] Skin feels better. Karen took the extra time to address my personal needs

02/26/2020

I had an appointment with Jessica, I come each month and made the appointment one month ahead. I always receive great service until my last appointment. I came in and was told that Jessica was not available. I was given to Karen. Karen took her time and gave me a good service. What I don't understand is that I saw Jessica that morning when I came in and she took in another customer. If Jessica was not available then I should be informed. I have business in the service industry as well, I don't think it is a good practice in my case. Is this Calo spa common practice? My situation should be reviewed and step need to be taken to prevent it happen again. Thanks, [name]

02/25/2020

Karen is kind, efficient, thorough, and willing to go the extra mile if you have questions, concerns on products or treatment.

02/16/2020

I love the facial it makes my skin look great and Karen does a great job.

02/10/2020

Karen is great and I feel I have developed a friend in her. I value her opinion and help.

Karen was great doing my microneedling for a post surgical scar. She was very thorough and knowledgeable about the procedure. Also very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. After my first procedure, I've already noticed a difference in my skin. I'm scheduled to go back for at least two more treatments.

11/05/2019

Skin Care

Calospa has provided service for me for more than a decade. I find all of the staff, but especially Karen professional, considerate, knowledgeable. It is obvious the doctors have taken great care to train all of the staff. Every appointment is a delight from the front desk to completion of appointment. I would like every employee at Calospa to known how much they are appreciated, and would like to thank them for my years of excellent service.

06/04/2019

PICO Genesis™

Yes [highly satisfied]! The provider is very knowledgeable and upfront about the possibility of underachieving the results desired. I was pleasantly surprised when my results were better than expected!

05/18/2019

Karen is extremely knowledgeable about all of my procedures and is able to answer any questions I may have. She's great. I received a lot of compliments on my skin and how good it looks.

05/15/2019

Professional and knowledgeable provider.

04/22/2019

Microdermabrasion

Staff is always helpful, any questions I had have been thoroughly explained. Always a pleasant experience.

04/16/2019

Chemical Peel

Karen is always pleasant and great to chat with during my peels with her. She always takes her time to address my specific goals and doesn't make me feel rushed as though she has to get to her next client. Plus the products do wonders for my skin! My skin looked amazing before and after I finished peeling!

03/30/2019

Improvement in skin texture. It is important for me to get the best value for my money and Karen has never tried to "push" services, which to me is an immediate turn off and has happened at Calospa before with other members of the team. This visit she helped me think through the benefits of the CaloPerks plan. I find a trusting relationship imperative.

03/19/2019

PICO Genesis™

Karen was sure to use the laser to address the particular needs I had at my visit.

03/15/2019

Improvement, over time, in skin texture and appearance. Karen has always been very helpful to me in assessing my needs and offering the best possible solutions to my "problem areas." She also offers suggestions on how to get the best value as I have a limited budget. I look forward to my facials with Karen and because of our conversations, the time goes by so quickly. Not only does she inform me of products and services at Calospa, we also talk about health and nutrition. Her expertise and knowledge address the total person and I find that very helpful, as l believe in holistic care. She is always professional, pleasant and upbeat. She is definitely an asset to the Calospa family.

The appointment time ran late ... but Karen apologized and more than made up for it in her amazing customer service and knowledge

01/10/2017

Karen knew exactly what she was talking about, in our first visit, she could already evaluate my skin type, and provided tips for me in order to keep my skin healthy, as well as samples of different products! It was my first hydrafacial, or facial at all, and the experience was relaxing, informative, and overall I really enjoyed it. My skin looked amazing afterward! Thanks Karen!

09/26/2016

Laser Genesis

I don't know yet. Too early to tell. I've only had one treatment. Not sure what results will show yet.

08/30/2016

Skin Care

Yes, as someone who had some trepidation with visiting a Plastic Surgeons Office, I found the staff to be delightful. Karen was very educated and informative and I truly enjoyed the facial and the purchase of products.

07/17/2016

I did notice improvements in how smooth and fresh looking my skin was afterwards. Karen is so easy to talk with about my skin and what treatments or products I need.

07/10/2016

Medical Weight Loss Program

Karen. Always love my visits with Karen. Professional and engaging.

04/26/2016

BOTOX® Cosmetic

I was highly satisfied

04/25/2016

Karen has been incredibly encouraging and instructive throuhgout this entire program.

04/13/2016

Not seeing anything huge. I was a huge fan of Fraxel, since you got rid of that I have struggled to get marked results from your others. Infiny is the strongest, but it is now Fraxel! Yes I know you do it in the OR but I am not interested in anything that intense all at once. I was made to feel very comfortable. The staff always acknowledges me personally weather they know me or not, which is top service in my book. Karen works hard to get results.

04/04/2016

I work full time teaching in my hot yoga studio. For a "workin" girl, many procedures have too much down time. I felt the results of this procedure surpassed a very good Fraxel treatment, and "needling" procedure that I've had in the past. I had great results with both, but looked horrible and had quite a bit of healing time before I looked my best. I was ecstatic that I wasn't completely crazy looking after the Infini procedure. I loved that you provide meds, and topicals to ease the pain. Yay! It's really a good investment, when you see positive results right away and beautiful skin within 2 weeks.

03/31/2016

I do notice firming results. With age, my skin had started to sag and I want to address it early so more extreme measures will not be necessary. I'm happy with my results. This was my third of three treatments. Karen is great! She addressed all my concerns because a previous treatment by a different employee resulted in some extreme reactions. Full results won't be apparent for another month or so, but my husband commented that he could see improvement with my skin tightness and texture. If a man noticed, it must be working!

03/30/2016

The brown spot on my forehead is still there. (It is somewhat lighter.)

03/30/2016

MY Skin is clearer, my breasts fit my size and shape and my confidence in myself has risen. THANKS. Karen is amazing have been seeing her and Dr Calobace for almost a year, I tell all my friends/patients/colleagues about your office, I have never had such a wonderful experience in a great office!!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

Laser Tattoo Removal

The environment is very clean and professional. The staff is friendly and polite.

03/23/2016

I like the way the overall tone of my skin is doing (this was my 3rd Infini procedure)--and by "tone" I really mean that it appears that my collagen has firmed up. I am also getting XLV treatments at the same time. Well, in between the Infini treatments. So, while any dark spots and sun spots I had have lightened up, it's more likely that I have the XLV to thank for that than the Infini. Karen had discussed in advance what to expect from the procedure, what not to expect. She gave me both "pre" treatment and "post" treatment instructions and, for a procedure that is painful, made it as comfortable as possible.

03/23/2016

I did not achieve the results I thought I would get.?

03/23/2016

Laser Tattoo Removal

The staff is very welcoming and professional. I'm in and out within 30 minutes.
