Unethical business practice! I was hired by About Face Dental Hygiene Spa to provide website design services. I even offered a generous discount to help and support a business owner during the pandemic. After accommodating open ended amount of reviews which requested her direction to be followed strictly, the design work pretty much was brought back to where I picked up the project. Then when the work was finalized the way she exactly wanted I received her email message saying "I am not going to go with the project". (Maybe we should all start going out to dine and eat the food and let the establishment know that we will not pay the bill???) I have a stellar portfolio with raving client reviews and relations. Yet I do not expect everyone to appreciate my work. However, the extensive hours and the creative efforts I spend must be compensated. As my contracts clearly state the amount is due when the work is finalized. About Face Dental Hygiene Spa did not make good on her payment and I have not received any responses in this regard. If I can not receive the funds at least I can make sure other businesses are aware of this business's ability to perform unethical business practice. It's a shame to see a business owner during the pandemic to conduct such ill-business. Hope this review helps other service providers to be cautious while engaging with this business.

I needed to take some time before replying to this review. I hired Yakup through the “Hire a Professional” section of Wix, the company that supports my domain and current website. I told him I needed technical help with internal linking issues with Square Scheduling. He said I needed a “more professional looking site”, and a New Logo, etc. I did not ask for a new website, but I let him talk me into it. I checked out his portfolio and his previous projects were impressive. I paid him half the agreed amount $500 and I provided him the verbiage for the site, as would be expected as he doesn’t know my business and what I offer. With every version of this new website he sent me he had not added the verbiage or made the corrections I had previously pointed out, including broken links and overlapping features and misalignments. The childish looking logo he made, a cartoon looking profile of a male with “little stars” hoovering around his mouth looked he was coughing “Corona Virus.” I said I could not use it, but he said he wasn’t going to redesign it, I had to take it or leave it. After weeks emailing back and forth, the website he produced was almost exactly like one of my original non-published sites which he saw while he was working on this project. I told him he had not made me an original “professional website or logo” and I was frustrated and disappointed and was terminating the project and not going to pay him the balance of $500 for a website that looked like a version of one I made which he saw in my portfolio. He threatened to write a poor review unless I pay him another $500. I refused. We are both out the time we spent on this project, he is ahead $500 and I am out $500, but I am wiser and happy with my decision to end this fiasco.

Truly a wonderful experience. I tend to push off my cleanings, but I am always excited for my next appointment here. Pamela’s cleanings are gentle and thorough and I love that she consistently checks in with me to make sure I am doing okay. The spa environment is also a real game changer— the aromatherapy and weighted blanket relaxed me and I was able to get a facial along with my cleaning! I’d like to also point out how safe I felt during my appointment, even during the pandemic. Pamela mentioned that she use anti-microbial solutions in the waterlines and her appointments are spread out throughout the day. Thanks for everything Pamela!

Often, I've been afraid to go to the dentist - I always feel like theres a high potential for not only physical pain, but also straight up embarrassment - and I don't feel like I'm the only one. Pamela is the ANTIDOTE for this all too common experience. She is the most personable, calming, and inspiring (that's right - straight up inspiring) dental professional I've ever met. Trained in Reiki healing, Pamela supports a no judgement space to brighten up and learn about your teeth in. Instead of the usual "brush your teeth or else" dogma, Pamela made me feel very safe - so much so that I found myself actually getting pretty curious about how dental hygiene works on a biological level. Our bodies are miraculous machines and Pamela is genuinely invested in enlightening others to its capacity to heal and stay healthy. She's a very engaging teacher - and I feel like my teeth and I are much better friends as a result. Aside from this, she's also a gifted conversationalist in general. I find chatting with her about life a genuine pleasure. I urge you to go experience what she can offer you for yourself. You'll start recommending her to all your friends in no time!

I was telling friends I was going to get my teeth cleaned and got some sympathetic answer, because going to get your teeth cleaned can be stressful for people. I responded, its not stressful for me because my hygienist makes the environment really great. She has a heated blanket you can get under and has aromatherapy smells in the office, plus she plays very mellow calming music. She has created a welcoming and calm environment. With that said, she is a very knowledgeable and experienced hygienist and has given me many suggestions on how to floss, brush my teeth and generally take good care of my teeth and gums. I would highly recommend her. Especially for folks that may have some anxiety around getting their teeth cleaned.

For years I've suffered from cold-sensitive spots on my teeth, despite special toothpastes, some by prescription. After following Pamela Lynch's recommendations for one week, I can drink ice water pain free. I also enjoyed--yes enjoyed--the most thorough teeth cleaning I've ever had. Also, I absolutely can't stand the taste of mint. Pamela developed a regimen for me that maintains healthy teeth and gums without any mint! I can't recommend her highly enough.

I am so happy that I was able to help with your cold sensitivity. Thank you for your review.

Two of my favorite things to do are have my teeth cleaned and have a facial. To have sparkly teeth and unclogged pores at the same time is almost decadent. Pamela does a great job at both.

Thank you for your 5 star review and comments Julie. Here is a secret; I really do enjoy cleaning teeth and combining a facial with a dental cleaning is very relaxing to me too. It is always lovely to see you.

I'm a retired Periodontist (dentist specialist in gum disease diagnosis and treatment), so I think i can identify competence in dental hygiene. Pamela is one of the best I've encountered in a long career. She's knowledgable, personable, gentle, thorough and effective. I recommend her services without reservation.

Reply from About Face Dental Hygiene Spa
Mark, it was a pleasure meeting you and great talking "dental" shop with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Because you are a retired Periodontist I am especially honored to receive your 5 star critique and endorsement.

Highly recommended! I appreciate working directly with a hygienist. Pamela is super knowledgeable, gentle, communicative and above all very professional. It's wonderful to combine some beauty treatments with oral health care. This is my go-to place for facials and deep teeth cleaning now. I'm so glad I found Pamela.

I have seen Pamela for deep cleanings and teeth whitening since 2016. She will give your teeth a thorough periodontal maintenance cleaning with a very gentle touch. And, she answers your questions in detail while educating you about dental hygiene. Yes, I highly recommend her.
