Upon the above posts recommendation, tried out the Opera Beauty facial at Khatib. Really not bad.
They are using dermological products, and the extraction skills by Gin is fantastic! Virtually painless and thorough. I didn't know it was possible to extract using purely hands. All the past facialists I went to uses the metal extractor which is more painful and my face comes out red n swollen for at least 2 days after. But by hand at Opera, the only red parts on my face are the pin dots she had pricked to extract out those white/black heads.
Overall, pretty good experience. The lady boss did recommend a few products and packages to me, but not pushy on that. Only negative thing is the facial pricing can be quite steep for the location. From $48-$198, depending on the types of facial you want to do. She had recommended either the $108(replenishing treatment) or $188 (advanced multi vitamin treatment) package to me as I have adult acne and acne scars. Besides, the eye mask is charged separately at $48 each time. Therefore, a basic facial with eye mask will cost at least $160 for me each time, which I find a bit steep to afford at this time with my upcoming marriage expenses. I'll be looking for a facial + eye mask for not more than $100.
But it's worth considering for those who's purse strings are not that tight.
