Avani Derm Spa 1070 North Ballas Road, Des Peres, MO 63131

"About 4 years ago, I came here for my first lip fillers ever. It’s a lovely, well-kept spa. I didn’t bother writing a review at the time because I knew nothing about facial fillers. Flash forward a few years and three different med spas, and I now realize that I had a horrible experience at this place. Here’s why: I had requested a consultation. When I got there, the woman took me to the back, spoke fast, and rushed through the information before asking, “So are you ready?” I felt like I didn’t have a choice because she was talking fast and her demeanor wasn’t very approachable. I went ahead and agreed to do the fillers, but when she injected my lips, it hurt horribly. I would put the pain on par with getting the tattoo I have on my ribs. Not sure why numbing wasn’t included in this service. I got .7 of a syringe, but the lip filler didn’t last more than 3 months. The injector hadn’t bothered asking questions about my metabolism to in order to give me a filler that provided more lasting results. When I got to the cashier, I ran my card through and the screen prompted me to leave a tip. I asked the cashier if it was customary to leave a tip. She said it was up to me. I felt like I should err on the side of caution, so I left a tip. Of course when you have a several hundred dollar service that you are leaving a tip for, your tip ends up being pretty substantial on top of that. Come to find out that at the other med spas I went to, many cashiers let you know that a tip is not expected on top of higher-cost services. To summarize, I felt rushed, the injector didn’t numb me, and I was disappointed in the longevity of my results. It may very well be that my experience is not the norm here, but having had so many other positive experiences at other med spas since I visited Avani, it needs to be made known that Avani let this customer down."

"I had the pleasure of meeting with Jen Jones and let me tell you: her work is phenomenal!!! Not only was she an absolute sweetheart and very knowledgeable about her work but she also made me feel super comfortable and cared how I felt and answered every last annoying question! She listened to me and gave me the exact results I wanted. I can’t thank her enough but I will be back! Never will I ever go to anyone else for my lips. (Below I attached a before and after picture and you can see for yourself the amazing work this girl does! If you’re looking for lip filler don’t go to anyone else, trust me!!!)"

"I’ve been going to Avani for Botox, fillers and facials for years now. I cannot recommend them enough. Everyone you encounter is warm and helpful. They strike the balance of being a luxurious, best in class med spa, while having a come as you are, unpretentious environment at the same time."

"Julie and her assistant did an excellent job of explaining the different options and answering any questions I had. This was my first time having anything done to my face and they made me feel comfortable. She looked at my inspo pic and based my procedure off of that. She did a fantastic job!"

"Another great experience with Jen Jones. Jen is the utmost professional, so knowledgeable, honest, and best of all, fabulous at what she does. I always feel like I’m in such great hands with Jen because I trust her professional opinion 100%!!! (not to mention she’s super nice too)! A+!"
