I was visiting ***** in early February for my grandson's football tourney. On 2-8-2025 I left my room in the *** Signature towers and walked into city center. Along the way, there were several businesses along the way. One was Beauty Avenue 2 where a gentleman (****) offered me a treatment. After about an hour, I purchased a premium package ($3251.40). **** was a fast talker! He said the products would be shipped out that day. Today is March 19, 2025 and I have yet to receive anything! At this time, I would like a complete refund. I have no faith in this company.Business Response

On January 18, 2025 as I walked by Beauty Avenue inside *************, a lady waved me in for a free sponge and then a fellow asked if I was staying at the hotel because he had a special gift for me. He began showing me the red and blue light device and how it would reduce wrinkles. The machine cost $7,500 but I told him its way too much. He reduced it to $5,500. I said its still too much. He then introduced to a less expensive device of $5300 but would discount to $2500. I said I would not spend that much money. He said he would throw in 3 full size skincare on top. He advice that I would spend more money going to a skincare places and it could cost a lot of money by buying the device. I still said no, I have not heard of the product before and would need to do some research. He said hes on a convention promotion and could go down to $1,300. I still said no and tried to walk out. He used is sales tactics and tricked me with lies getting me to buy, saying today was his last day promo and was not coming back. Anyway, I was talked into buying but he never explained that the return was only allowed on regular prices. However, I went back the same day to return the products and they said I had to call in to return. The *** said that I would get refunded 100% and repeated that I would. So I left the store and called in the next day. They said I couldnt return because its only not allowed on discount prices. This is a total trick getting people to buy a product that is worth almost nothing for thousands of dollars. I ended up spending $1,300 at the store. They lied about its a convention and its the last day of the promotion. He did not mention that theres no refund. They lied that I would get a refund 100% by calling in. This is a criminal and stealing and should be stopped!Business Response

I am seventy five years old and went to ********* for a wedding. I was with my family most of the time except for going upstairs for about 2 hours. As I walked by Mandalay Beauty Avenue, ***** reached out with a free sponge and invited me to come in and sit down. ******** who is a charming fellow, Began the sales pitch and Demonstrated the red and blue light, with assurance that product would erase my cheek veins and puppet lines. 15 minutes and $7586.25 credit debt. Later I walked out with a receipt that I confess I hadn't viewed. It listed" free "creams. For example, "instant wrinkle syringe $995. and age repair nectar 4 at $6,400." As I was coming out of my daze and thinking, what Happened? How can I be so vulnerable? I could not afford this, didn't need, Is my son, who is my power of attorney Going think I'm getting senile and to consider controling in my finances? That fear has made me not share with him, this purchase. And consider? I questioned why I fell for that. I have had friends and family My age fall for things they never would have in the past.Within the hour I went back and demanded that they they not send the product and give me a refund. ***** called for ******** and he said I was stressing him out! And that customer service with call me the next day. *** called me and told me because it was a promotion. I could not receive a refund. After phone calls and texting, and me reporting that the product was not working, *** offered me thirty percent off. On new year's eve he offered me fifty percent off. When I Texted that I would accept the 50% off.He said it was too late. That it had to be done before 2025 because he was under new ownership.I wish there was a way to warn people about this. I'm wondering why there isn't responsibility From the business and sales people, since they consider this a Medical tool to inquire more about people's condition before they pressure sell.Business Response

Regarding the situation of the customer, ***** ******, who visited our location on November 10th, 2024.
During her visit, ***** received a consultation regarding her skin, where she had the opportunity to try the products on her own skin and face. We answered all her questions and made sure she was fully informed. At the time of purchase, she expressed satisfaction with the products and made the purchase at a promotional price.
***** ***** has the products in her possession. When she later reached out to us with concerns, we made every effort to address the issue promptly. We maintained direct communication with her throughout the process, and we issued a partial refund as part of our resolution.
Please let me know if you need any further details or if I can assist in any way.Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:I have several times asked for a full refund and after much stress and worry I accepted a half payment, thinking I had no recourse. I can't say that I am satisfied With their response. ***, from customer service, ( over phone and text,)kept encouraging me to keep trying the product.
At this point my skin is in worse condition then when I entered thier sales chamber... I have more wrinkles and have had extreme dry patches. The veins may have gotten worse, not better.

Date: November 13, 2024 Receipts number 1503-10710LC11 and 1503-11710LC11 ************** Beauty Avenue Store, Itai ** sales person I had two treatments in the story with the ***** ******** products and a Red/Blue light machine. I was immediately offered both the eye treatment products and the Red/Blue light machine and accompanying products at a discount. At the time, the results looked good so I bought the products, but by the time I returned home from ********* to SoCal, my skin was red and irritated. I contacted the store via phone, text, and email and was told, since it was discounted, it was not eligible for a refund. I was not told, at any time before or after the purchase, that I could not return it since they were discounting it to get me to buy it. This is fraud.Business Response

On September 6, 2024 while on vacation to *********, I made a purchase and an hour later went back to tell them that I did not want the products and wanted a refund. They told me that they had already shipped the items and that I would have to wait until I got home to return the products and could then get a refund. The receipt stated that there was no refunds so I didn't believe the sales person and sent a letter via fed ex that I was asking for a refund and will ship the products back. I received a call from customer service that said they would investigate.When I got home, I refused the post office package and the products were returned with the box unopened. I called my credit card to dispute the purchase since ***** would return my call. They finally called me and told me to cancel my dispute and they would issue me a full refund. So, I complied called back and they told me the credit would not go through. I then opened another dispute with my credit card company. In an attempt to resolve, I texted the same number to ask them how I could resolve and they told me that he would try again. After that communication I did not receive any other messages yet from the company.At this point, I do not know if my credit card company will honor my dispute and believe if they contact the company they will say there is a no return policy. I believe I was scammed and the products do not work. Not sure what to do at this point, if I cannot get resolution from this complaint other than to contact a lawyer. I am hoping this can be resolved via this complaint.Customer Answer

yes i did get partial refund and some more product, which did not work as it did when it was sold and applied in store.. seems the products were not the real thing or they just dont work.. i did get my partial refund which I stated earlier.
I was overall not happy with the pressured sales tactic nor the settlement; which I read many received full refunds and experienced almost the exact situation.. . but they did settle something. .I'm just stating my opinion on the product and its lack of effectiveness .. thanks

On 9/5/23, while on vacation, I fell prey to a high-pressured sales pitch at Beauty Ave. 3 in *************** and bought beauty products. I went back to the store the very next day and returned 3 of the products given to me and tried to cancel the remainder which were to be shipped. I was told the order had already shipped and there was nothing they could do.Figuring I could just refuse the package when it arrived, I left the three products (given me), and left the store. Once home (Michigan), the package was dropped off at my door. I called Beauty Avenue to inquire how to return the unopened package and was told refunds/returns are within 7 days of purchase on regular priced items only. I was never informed of the return policy or informed these were "special" priced items at the time of purchase OR when I tried to cancel the order one day later! The receipt I have does show the refund policy, it had been placed in the bag with the products given me (which I returned). Also, my signature is not on the receipt. What can I do to return these products and get my money refunded? My credit card company can't help because of the store's refund policy. I was never made aware of the policy until I tried to return these products! Please help.Business Response

BBB Complaint ID *******
I do not accept the response made by the business to resolve this complaint and I request a full refund of the purchases of $541.88 and $5418.75 that were made at Beauty Avenue *********, located inside the ***** ***** on January 11, 2023. I do not have any items in my possession, and I believe I am a victim of fraud.
*** store does not have any return policy signs posted, and the company **** **************************** never mentioned that the discounts he offered me would void the return policy. *** business keeps saying I knew about their return policy ahead of time by referring to the printed receipts given to me AFTER the credit card transactions were posted. ******** also offered to ship the all items to me for free via 2-Day delivery, and he said he would provide consultation and training on how to use the products and tools, once I received the items.
Jan 17 was shipment delivery date, but I did not receive the package, so I called ********, he suggested I visited the local post office for their help locating the missing package. *** post office could only confirm delivery to my street address, but not that anyone received it, and they directed me back to the company. ******** told me he arranged a new shipment, and because of the delivery issue with that first shipment, I immediately requested he **** it with signature required which he did. Throughout the exchanges we had about missing shipment, ******** never told me to contact his companys customer support, and he handled it all on his end.
On Jan 26, I received the package and I sent a text and photo to *************************** I got everything. I also called ******** and requested to set up time for the consultations he promised when I met him and made the purchase of over $5900. It was strange that I didnt hear back, so on Jan 31, I sent another text and left another voicemail. By Feb 3rd, when I still did not get a response, thats when I became concerned that I was a victim of fraud.
When ******** stopped communicating, I searched extensively and cannot find any information about this company online. This company does not have a live website, and they are not BBB accredited. *** most information I can find about Beauty Avenue are ads, and they dont contain any contact information. Thats when I contacted my credit card to dispute the charges, and then contacted your agency for help in getting my refund. At my own expense, I shipped the package with all unused and unopened items to the store where I purchased them located inside ***** *****. I informed the business that *****, the hotel mailroom manager, confirmed the package was received and their business store manager picked it up, and I gave them Angies direct number *************).
And while business responses continue to refer to their return policy as printed on the purchase receipt, the receipt also states that Products must be stored at room temperature to retain freshness and effectiveness due to the sensitivity of the active ingredients. If this is a true, why does the business ship their valuable products through the US Mail system, in uncontrolled temperatures?
For these reasons I am asking for your agencys help to get a full refund. Please see attachments included.
Sincerely,
