LJS review for Alchemy Face Bar Highlands | Denver

Tipping Culture Gone Wild! I went in for Botox a few months ago and was surprised when the provider recommended over 60 units—the highest I’ve ever been told in 10 years of treatments. At $13 per unit, that’s extremely expensive, especially since most clinics lower the price per unit as volume goes up. I figured maybe it would last longer, and since the location was convenient, I gave it a try. To my surprise, the injections were done out in the open next to other clients, not in a private treatment room. That has never happened to me before. While the provider herself was nice, the real issue came at checkout. The receptionist turned the iPad around and said, “You can ignore the 20% and 25%, most people just tip $1 per unit.” I was stunned. Never once in all my years of Botox have I been asked—let alone pressured—to tip for a medical procedure. Between the unusually high unit recommendation, inflated pricing, lack of privacy, and the pushy tipping culture, I will not be returning.
