scammers too – Signed up 3x Meso Melasma treatments on 27 August 2023. Beforehand, i told them that i have done quite a number of treatments ie Laser, Pico-laser etc but they assured me that their treatments can lighten my melasma/pigments and painless. When i asked for guaranteed results and they said yes will do till got results. Even their advertisement wrote… Read more
treat melasma completely, resolve uneven skin tone, minimize pores etc. Despite after 3x treatments, no results at all and i have to go thru all the injections pain. After my complaints, the following treatments they gave me free which i have received 2x free treatments and did 1x injection for laughing lines but my laughing lines are still there. I asked for 1 last try as i am taking some whitening supplements and see if there is results if combine. Then Nov 2023's appointment, delayed and postponed few times and finally fixed on 7 Jan 2024. After apply numb cream on my face, they ask me to pay for the treatment and i was shocked and disappointed. No results for all the treatments and still ask me for payment and also gone thru the pain for nothing. Plus my last request also cannot be fulfilled. Now i want a full refund!!
Unprofessional business scammers – I purchased a scoopon voucher for IPL which was honoured in the bellucio dress shop I was cancelled and rescheduled several times with the most ridiculous reasons I read the reviews after I purchased the voucher but still gave jolie beauty the benefit of the doubt My disappointment with this company is that they are scammers They only want… Read more
to take your money whether it be scoopon, our deal, cudo etc
I am extremely dissatisfied with the service
They are unprofessional and should not be operating at all
I'm not a happy customer at all
Please be aware of this scamming beauty and dress shop
The owner Julie will not attend to your calls or emails
She is constantly hiding
And will not respond
Poor excuse for a business that should not exist
Be aware from this company
Do not purchase anything
Unprofessional- Don't waste your time and money – After purchasing a Scoopon for Jolie health and beauty I was excited to start my IPL treated on the bottom half of my legs- I currently get IPL on other areas. I have never been to a place that is so unprofessional, not only had my appointments been rescheduled on multiple occassions (had to wait almost 2 months before my first session) but when I… Read more
finally got an appointment and got there, there was a closed sign on the door, I waited for 20 minutes just incase someone was in an appointment out the back and no one was there. I did not recieve a call telling me my appointment was cancelled in fact I called earlier that day to confirm my appointment was still on as they are normally always rescheduled and it's not an easy or convenient place to go for me. When I did receive my one and only treatment the temperature was up WAY too high and I could smell the burning on my legs, honestly it seemed that the person doing the treatment hadn't done it before. I am used to IPL and I know it doesn't tickle however this one hurt so much that I don't want to go back. Honestly, even though you save money buying the scoopon it is not worth the hassle.
Got burns and blisters – Dont go to this place! They burned me, burns became blisters. The girl who answer the phone is very rude and seems very uneducated! Its a shame, when there 4 times and never had problems, they had some new "laser technician" I wonder if she was even qualified! They said so but I doubt it! My burns are pretty bad
Unproffersional – The quality of the laser is poor, after 5 sessions I have hardly seen results. The beautician constantly changes, I have had three different girls in 5 months. They are always running late, have had appointments cancelled twice with short notice. Customer service from the girl that seems to be in charge is shocking. I do not recommend them.
Don't waste your time or money! – I am sure by reading all the other complaints you would not even consider buying A voucher from this place. So unprofessional and I also question if this is legal. You enter a clothes shop at the front then there is a dodgy beauty set up At the back. My head was telling me to make a quick exit but I thought I would Give it a go. Was very… Read more
nervous but came out unscathed (made sure she kept the heat
Low for IPL, you hear some horror stories!). Needless to say, never went back.
I had this done over six months ago. Can't believe this is still being advertised with
All the negative feedback!!!
I think they are dishonest about what you get for your money.
Dont go!! not worth it at all – I bought a scoopon voucher, service really bad and technique terrible! I'm sure the 'beauty technicians' are not trained. The first few session was ok, then it progressively got worse. I usually have a very high pain tolerance but the pain this was unbearable and she said it was 'normal', luckily I was not burned! after all that, they did a poor job, not much difference in terms of hair loss and i am the perfect candidate for IPL.
Avoid at all Cost – Had voucher for IPL constantly cancelling appointments without any notice whatsoever. I would turn up and be told I would not be seen. Are you serious, this happened so many times. Every appointment made was never recorded. They should not be operating. Not to mention no difference to my hair removal. Absolute waist of my time and money> Unclean and unprofessional
Terrible every time! – I too bought a scoopon to attend here! They are always late and cancel appointments or don't have any record of you making one. They rarely answer the phone either. Turned up today and was told they were running 30-45mins late...no apology! Apparently they had tried to call me... But had the wrong number despite me giving it when I booked. Perhaps… Read more
they should stick to dresses....really terrible business! Frustrating that I have paid for treatments but can't be bothered going through the hassle of appointments with them!!
Rude, unprofessional, poor service
Worst place for laser ever – They changed all of our appointments, they lost our cards with our details. they are very unprofessional with different technicians. sometimes no eye protection was given. They have the machine in the back of the dress shop. Very suspicious. The girls are young and have limited training and I'm sure no qualifications. They miss parts of the area… Read more
you try to get treated. Each girl does it different and we have had a different one each time. We bought a coupon from living social and regret it.
shoddy establishment bad service repeated movement of appointments on their end
Too scared to use my voucher – I bought a scoopon voucher for IPL treatment, called to make my first appointment. The lady was rude on the phone, I found it difficult to understand her. I am meant to get a consultation first regarding area of treatment etc. When I asked about this she said no just come in and we'll do the IPL on the first appointment, I asked about how do I… Read more
know how to prepare for the first appointment and she just told me to shave the area, but when I asked more questions about it she said I would have to speak to the lady on the day (by which point it would be too late because I would have needed to shave the area!).
After reading these reviews I called out of hours to cancel my appointment (thinking I would leave a voice message), someone answered and told me to call back within work hours (I think they live at the salon).
When I called the next day to cancel they couldn't find my appointment. Havent tried it Not worth the risk of my health
Don't do it! – I had the same dreadful experience as others here. I ended up walking out after waiting an hour and deciding that my health was more valuable than the voucher for IPL I had purchased. When I tried to get a refund I was unable to. What was advertised was the polar opposite of the actual experience.
Disgusting all round – I can't believe this place hasn't been shut down, the establishment is disgusting. You walk into a dress shop and are greeted (if your lucky) by a usually rude staff member. You then get ushered into a back room that you have no privacy in and put on a table and given dodgy sunglasses that don't even protect your eyes. I'm sure none of the staff… Read more
have been trained in using an IPL machine. I don't recommend this place and I think it should be closed down
Rude Staff, Unhygienic, Unsafe, Unreliable

Pretty happy with Jolie – Ok, need to set this straight, if your looking for a day spa dont go here! If your looking for an easy service then this is the place to go!! Sure it's not the prettiest environment however if your looking to simply duck in on your lunch break and leave then this is perfect!! Sure my appointment got canceled once, but that happens sure it may be… Read more
an inconvenience but it happens! Other people writing reviews are blowing it out of proportion! Seriously! Theyre not a mull billion dollar organisation! Relax! Ive used 2 vouchers there and i was happy with it! And yes the lady at the front is an old indian or pakistani lady! People in the other reviews are so racists! Don't discriminate! I found her just fine! In fact she was pretty funny as she spoke to me while i was waiting for my appointment! So i repeat! If you want a fun day out with your friends do not go here.. If your a busy person is more intereseted in the service then go to jolie!!!!
Jolie is located at the back of a dress store called bellucio or something, at first its confusing to find but its not a problem. it was really quick! easy! funny and friendly staff at first it was hard to find
Terrible service! – Jolie Health and Beauty is a highly questionable establishment. I walked through the front door immediately into a dress boutique, the lady at the counter was uninviting and did not smile or even say "hello" as I approached her; I had to ask if I had the correct place; the smell of food was prevalent. I gave her my details and was asked to take a… Read more
seat - which was covered in questionable stains.
The "technician" walked me through towards the end of the store into a "cubicle" that was partitioned by makeshift curtains, she handed me a pair of sunglasses which looked like they were bought for $2 at the Hot Potato Discount Shop nearby. During the session, the "technician" advised me she was pregnant.
She talked incessantly and it wasn't until I got home I realised she had missed literally half my leg, only the front and back were IPL and the sides were completely missed. I wanted to run out of there screaming from the unprofessionalism. Jolie feels too much like the machine was bought on the Internet and the owners anticipate its a market to make easy money. I cannot stress enough to avoid Jolie. If you've already pre-purchased vouchers, cut your losses, and go elsewhere. Stay well away from Jolie. My greatest concern is Scoopon and Living Social/Jump On It are still endorsing Jolie.
Is this even legal? – I bought a voucher directly from the store which entitled me for 6 IPL sessions for 2 areas for $99 (I had initially called the store to enquire about the Scoopon I saw and was told to purchase it directly through them, clearly this was a bad idea). I was so shocked when I went through the makeshift rooms they had. This place is really dodgy and… Read more
to be honest it was so unprofessional its scary. I don't think they have had any training. I noticed that they use the same spatula for all customers to apply the lotion that they use. I have also noticed that they do not have proper protective eyewear - I was handed a pair of cheap hot pink sunglasses that looked like they came from a $2 store. Does anyone know if I can get my money back?
no training, unprofessional, unhygenic,
Stay away! – I was shocked when I walked into this grotty looking dress shop. The obvious smell of meat cooking was an instant turn off. I thought I had the wrong address. However, the IPL 'treatment room' was out the back through a series of temporary partitioned walling. While waiting 30 minutes for my appointment I asked to use the bathroom. This was… Read more
out through a rabbit warren of makeshift partitioned hallways, past an area where it appeared a woman was living! A makeshift kitchen (she was in the middle of cooking), piles of laundry and a makeshift bed. I was extremely uncomfortable walking through this area. The toilet looked heavily used and was unlit so very dark with the door shut. Awful. Totally unlike any beauty therapy place I've been to before!
Finally went in for my appointment. The lady running the IPL machined seemed lovely enough but I instantly felt that she was untrained and did not have any knowledge of the machine. I started to ask her about her qualifications (as everybody should before laser hair removal) and she said she had used the machine 'lots' in the last 3 months. She could not show any proof of training or any knowledge of how the machine worked and she said that "if the machine burns or scars it will be my fault because I ticked skin type 2 on the info sheet".
I couldn't believe my ears!! I left. The 'lady' at the front desk was so appallingly rude, she left me bewildered. Sorry to ramble, but this place is an absolute shocker. I would not be surprised if it's on Today Tonight one day! Do not go there!
Unprofessional, dirty, rude staff, (one person in particular was absolutely offensive) no evidence of training, couldn't give me any knowledge of IPL machine
Just in case you were thinking abut buying a coupon from this fraudulent company - Don't! – And here's why.... I bought a $550 worth of PIL for $59 Scoopon on 7 February 2011. After several attempts to contact them via phone (no answer or even answer machine!!!) and bounced back emails (invalid even though it appears on their website!!!) I complained to Scoopon who looked into it and advised: "they had to shut for 1-2 weeks so please… Read more
try again after that (WTF???)
So, after about 20 attempts I surprisingly got an answer on Jolie’s phone number, at about 10am last Monday morning. I spoke to a man named [name removed] who advised that "he does not take bookings but his manager would call me back before then end of the day to take my booking". Nobody called me back.
The next day I again spent the morning calling repeatedly and finally a girl took my call and was able to set up an IPL booking for 9am Saturday. As I was very dubious about this I rang again several times on Thursday (no answer), and finally confirmed with a lady named [name removed] 24hours before the booking time (Friday morning – 9am).
I then drove all the way from Donvale to Brunswick for my Saturday 9am appointment only to find that aside from the man running the dress shop, Beluccios (which you have to walk through to get to Jolie Heath and Beauty), there were no staff present. When I expressed my frustrations to this man he began to attempt ringing and texting the girl who was supposed to be treating me but after 20mins advised “don’t bother waiting around, I don’t think she is going to show up”
This was the last straw.
Don't waste your money and time like I did.
You have been warned.
Unprofessional and Unsafe – As the lady mentioned above, it was very difficult to get through to Jolie. After several attempts, I finally got an appointment booked in by a very rude lady in 4 weeks time. I rang on the friday to check it was all fine and the lady said yes. When I arrived, they had me fill out a "waiver" more or less, which I did with no problems as I am… Read more
quite aware they are not worth the paper they are written on. You can not sign your rights away to stay safe.
When I finally got into the room, the lady didnt really explain much, she just asked where I wanted to get done and added it up accordingly. I just want to mention here, she said I had $600 worth of IPL when in fact she only did $450. That was the first problem.
When the lady got to my arms, something fell out of the machine on to my top near my chest. She hadnt noticed and proceeded to ZAP me. She zapped my right arm and it was so very very painful, I yanked my arm away. She told me the filter had fallen out as she grabbed the metal hot 'filter'off my chest, not with her bare hands but with a bunch of tissues, telling it was very hot, like I hadnt noticed already, it was on my chest!!!
After the session was completed (all 15 mins of it), my arm was really red and really sore. I asked what I should do and the lady told me to treat it like sunburnt and not to worry about it too much.
Well, I should of worried as its a 2nd degree burn that got infected and is going to leave an awful scar. Not only that but it still hurts.
I will be taking this matter furthur to prevent other people getting lifetime scars from a bunch of people with no professionalism.
Most unprofessional business in Melbourne! Do not fall victim to their discount/coupon scams!! – Just as the Belluccio business is run, Jolie is no different! These women were the most unprofessional I have ever dealt with! The conditions inside their "beauty salon" were that disgusting that I just left. I could not and would not allow myself to have anything done to my body in such a filthy place! Please be aware of the scams this family… Read more
has going. They make promises they can not keep. The beauty shop is in the back of a dress shop they claim to not know the owners name when I asked to speak to someone in charge. They will take your money and run. Please be aware. Their shop Belluccios has many bad reviews also regarding their professionalism, google it and see for yourself. I would not recommend this shop to my family and friends let alone my worst enemy.
Consumers be warned!! Noting at all!! Unprofessional, rude and unhygienic!! Utterly disgusting!!
Do not go to Jolie Health + Beauty / Belluccio – Do not go here. Service is terrible........your appointment will get cancelled a million times..... I feel terribly ill and tried to change my appointment on the day as i was running a terribly high fever. Someone who couldnt speak english very well answered the phone and was extremely rude. She told me because it was less than 24 hours that it… Read more
would be cancelled and no refund. She took all the voucher details from me. Then some young girl got on the phone and said the same thing, when i then told her that they themeseleves cancelled on me 3!!! Times without 24 hr notice that i should be allowed the same curtosy. Nope.... Rude girl... So i hung up.
I had been quite polite, but if i didnt hang up some nasty things would have been said.
The beauty therapist lives an hour away so if they dont get enough bookings they will just cancel.
They are the most unprofessional company i have ever come across.... I wasted my money and from the other reviews i have seen ... Im glad i did... I could have gotten an infection from their duty "salon" at the back of the store.
It is a dress store with a add on salon. I live in the area and now i know why they are never busy. I have bene into the dress store and when i have the two young girls just sit on the internet and look at gossip websites. The last time i was in there they were surfing the miss world pagent sites... Dont go here....
Rude, poor service, no customer service at all!
