I have been seeing Michaal for the past 20 years but unfortunately he is away at the moment so I was booked in to see Charlie Sung. Charlie was awesome & so nice! He was really patient with me & explained everything really clearly regarding the treatment I need. Charlie then did my clean & really took his time to do an awesome job! I am 100% happy with Charlie & have booked in with him to complete my treatment! I highly recommend Charlie. Thanks girl for reassuring me over the phone when I made my appointment that Charlie was really good. You were right!
