Not professional. They will no longer do the work well once they think you don’t subscribe more packages.
This is very disappointing and unprofessional.
(1) the sessions would become super short. Normally takes 1.5hr plus. But then they’d do the steps within less than one hour.
(2) the consultant will keep changing and no longer the agreed person when you bought the package
(3) some steps would be skipped, e.g. massage the back, neck care eye care. When you pointed out, the person said have done the steps. But what she did is just putting cream on your back and she claimed it’s the back massage
I held my subscription extension till the last session, in order to clearly see whether they could do the work well from the very first session to the last. But what they did is too disappointing and unprofessional.
Hence, that’s the main reason I decided to not continue. This is a very irresponsible brand.

(See my original complements to them when they did really well and asked me to subscribe)
I’ve been with Shakura for about seven months. I started my facial session here after seeing their ads on Instagram. At the beginning I doubt about the effect (mostly because of the less ideal service at another prestigious beauty place), hence I just hope to try on it (seeing the big promotion for the first-timer).
I took a normal-cleaning session that day, then we spent 3 hours discussing on upgrading my treatment. I was super cautious and still with doubt as I just finished one session here and no idea about the effect. But after 3 hours, I was finally convinced to start a 5-customised sessions. My skin condition improved much within 5 sessions. It’s getting obviously softer, and also cleaner as I could see from the mirror everyday. I’m getting more and more confident with Shakura treatment and decided to extend my plan here equivalent to a two-year plan on monthly basis.
All these I hope to appreciate my beautician Selina! Selina taught me many interesting knowledge about skin via vivid and humorous descriptions. She’s so responsible and helped with my treatment much every time. Honestly speaking, 90% of my decision purchasing 2-year plan here is based on my trust to Selina. On beyond, I started my back treatment here, and it’s now my 3rd session.
Also, staff here are very friendly. Thanks Yanping! It’s a pleasure to catchup with you every time. I’m impressed with your passion and positivity. Also thanks Jenny for helping with my treatment.
I’m looking forward to seeing my facial condition getting more stable, and the improvement of my back. It’ll be a journey and let time tell the truth. I have the confidence with Selina. Best wishes!

I buyed the package after buying they stoped giving any reminders for session on WhatsApp even after messaging them again asking they did not reply and neither the hotline number people pick up nor the store people picking up my calls to reschedule the appointment I bought 10 session package and this how they are responding on my second session only. On top of that they reduced the steps and the time from the 1st free treatment on that day they took really good care but after I started my package they stoped sending me reminders also the service got degraded which I assumed should get upgraded from the free session. They just fooling people to buy their expensive packages and then do bare minimum after buying with 3rd grade services.Dont buy their packages you will just loose your money and you will get nothing in return.

They are very pushy keep asking u to buy package and scare you that your face has serious problems. Service is very hasty and you feel that they are just rushing through the steps ..Selin chia Bishan.

My experience with this Shakura at Bishan was quite a scam experience.
Initially, i signed a minimum package together with ny mom. After using the 1st session of the package , the consultation mentioned they like to sign my mom as sponsored model, which we need to sign a 3 yrs package. During which , they mentioned complimentary products which they sort of pressured me to choose (Guta drink). On the receipt, these complimentary products are charged on my receipt, when i ask they mentioned they need to include to deduct off from system and during facial to add on products for us. We did not want to argued so we left it as that. We realised the product contact fructose which is not suitable for our health, hence i returned them then next day and asking for replacement. They did not action or reply at all. I also returned the sunscreen using the so called points from our purchase to claim, which they also did not responded .1 yr 3 mth later, their consultant gave me another bag of guta drink and told me they need to close this account and want me to sign off. I refused to the product and did not sign to close off as i felt pressured to accept product they push to me which i feedback not suitable and year later push to me again for acceptance. I am puzzled and felt this is all a scam. They actually charged me for the products which i did want and never replace any product that to me when i return the first time and continue to push products to me when i already feedback to them not suitable.
They are pushy on their sales tactic and i felt at their mercy as customer

**Follow-up Sessions (2025.01.06)**
Not professional. Their service quality declines once they believe you won't subscribe to more packages. This is very disappointing and unprofessional.
(1) The sessions became super short. They normally take 1.5 hours or more, but then they would complete the steps in less than an hour.
(2) The consultant kept changing and was no longer the agreed-upon person from when I bought the package.
(3) Some steps were skipped, e.g., back massage, neck care, and eye care. When I pointed this out, the person claimed to have done the steps. However, what she did was merely putting cream on my back and claiming it was a back massage.
I delayed my subscription extension until the last session to clearly observe if they would maintain the quality of work from the very first session to the last. However, their actions were extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
Hence, that is the main reason I decided not to continue. This is a very irresponsible brand.

My experience with Shakura at Bishan was quite a scam.
Initially, I signed a minimum package together with my mom. After the first session of the package, the consultant mentioned they wanted to sign my mom as a sponsored model, which required us to sign a three-year package. During this, they mentioned complimentary products which they pressured me to choose (Guta Drink). On the receipt, these complimentary products were charged. When I asked, they claimed they needed to include them for system deduction and would add them during the facial. We did not want to argue, so we left it at that.
We realized the product contained fructose, which was not suitable for our health. Hence, I returned them the next day and asked for a replacement. They did not take action or reply at all. I also returned the sunscreen, which I had claimed using so-called points from our purchase, but they also did not respond.
One year and three months later, their consultant gave me another bag of Guta Drink and told me they needed to close this account and wanted me to sign off. I refused the product and did not sign to close the account, as I felt pressured to accept a product they pushed on me, which I had already stated was unsuitable, and a year later they pushed it on me again for acceptance.
I am puzzled and feel this is all a scam. They actually charged me for products which I did not want and never replaced any product for me when I returned them the first time. They also continued to push products on me when I had already given them feedback that they were not suitable.

I’ve had facials at Shakura a few times now, and each experience has been consistently great. Cheryl, is amazing—she’s patient, gentle, and really thorough. She always helps clean my face, remove blackheads, and treat pimples efficiently. On top of that, she shares helpful skincare tips and things to take note of, which I really appreciate.
The staff at Shakura are also all very friendly and welcoming.
Vicky Tan
Happy with the satisfactory service rendered by Angel. I like her cheerful personality, extraction (painless!) and massage (soothing) skills and most importantly, she was not pushy by not hard-selling after I stated my position. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The other staff should learn from her. She’s a definitely a good therapist to be recognised. …
Bernard Tan
I had an amazing experience with the facial treatment, thanks to Zoe's professional approach. She was incredibly skilled and made me feel completely relaxed and pampered. The service from Raelyn at the front desk was also outstanding, she helped arrange a comfortable timing for my treatment and made the check-in process so smooth and effortless. I truly appreciated how welcoming and professional both of them were. Highly recommend!

I've been with Shakura (Bishan) for more than 10 years. My consultant Selina is highly skilled and professional, witty & entertaining and she knows my skin better than me! Location and branch ambience can't be better!👍🏼👍🏼 …

I was warmly welcomed by Cha-Ee at their front desk and she had started my appointment as well, initially (sorry if I mispronounced your name). Their team had also kindly accommodated my change of schedule, due to a misunderstanding at my end.
The consultation was carried out in detail and the treatment plan was explained by Angel Tang. She gave me a very calming, hydrating and pleasant facial treatment. My skin has been feeling plump post-treatment and I could see that the Miroko Treatment also diminished the appearance of some of my freckles/spots. Angel was honest and she mentioned that not all of my pigmentation will fade or can be effectively tackled by the treatment. I was also given a free eye and neck care. There was no hard sell although I had to rush for a prior commitment, after Shakura. Thank you for today and will certainly keep you in kind for future similar treatments.

I originally had a lot of spots on my face because of long-term unprotection.I had a chance to learn that Shakura could solve it, so I came here for treatment. The therapist responsible for my treatment was Miko. The first time, she helped me understand my skin condition, and then helped me take care of it.
Miko service is very good and she is also very kind. After finishing the nursing, she also showed me the comparison before and after, which gave me a lot of confidence. Thank you for giving me such good treatment and service. It is really worth recommending!!👍🏻

The service is awesome! My beautician Vernice is wonderful and the counter staff, such as Li Ting, are very helpful and friendly. The condition of my face has improved a lot and spots are lighter now.

This morning is my first time to experience washing face. The whole process was performed by a girl named Bella.Although she is small, I enjoy her way of Enjoy. The staff at the front desk were also very friendly. It made me feel like I was the host of a long-time customer. Thank you.

I have been with my consultant, Selina for many years. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and took the time to assess my skin type and concerns before tailoring the treatment to my needs. The facial session itself was pure bliss. The combination of cleansing and hydrating masks left my skin feeling rejuvenated after every session.

Great facial experience with Angel at bishan outlet. Angel is professional and detailed. Front desk customer service is friendly and helpful too! Definitely recommend!

Jessie and Sarah (Branch Manager) are excellent facial therapists. They are clearly skilled and thorough with their extraction despite my low cost package (10 facials for $388) and highly professional. My face always feels v clean after each facial. At this price point, the facial is basic but it does its job and the session is completed within an hour.
I use this package as a “spare” whenever I can’t get an appointment at my usual place as this outlet is fantastic at accommodating last minute bookings on the same day of request. The staff here clearly work v hard (busy outlet), fast (less than 10 minutes of waiting every single time I show up) and maintain great service standards for facials.
There’s minimal conversation with the therapist as each “room” is separated by curtains and therefore not sound-proof. It’s great as that means there’s no hard selling during the facial session and I could nap in peace.
I will likely renew my package with Shakura.
