“Worst experience and result ever!!! ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Zullu on 17/03/2018

Oh my god, this woman gave me the stress of my life and wasn’t even once apologetic about it. All she cares about how to drag more money from people for the same treatments and very soon. She advertises on both groupon and Wowcher for 1ml filler and the price that is on it is not the price you end up paying when you get to see her. 
Om my appointment day, She straightaway strongly advised me to pay more for juvederm in her words “best grade fillers” if i want to see the effect otherwise she would inject a decorier filler (which I’ve never heard of) and in her words is worthless. (So kinda trapped into buying juvederm) She also made me buy an expensive special lip balm to keep the plumpness, “otherwise it won’t last”. So I bought all she suggested in order to have a full effect. However, all I got was a week and a half of a swollen plumbed lips,which is normal, but then back to my original lips with an ugly bump/plumpness only on my upper lip border line and even slightly above. 
I have had 1ml juvederm fillers couple of times in the past with different doctors and they all lasted 10 month and the last one has even lasted me 12 month as I am doing it frequently now. 
I booked a follow up appointment with the clinic in Harley street which she rents a room in every Friday. I told her everything and even showed her my instagram account where I uploaded my before and after pics and when it was swollen. First she was trying to convince me that this is how it should be, but after me claiming of being experienced in having this procedures and showing the pics to her, she suggested another 1ml juvederm even better grade for half price down from £350 as a gesture of will. I said that I don’t want any more injections, i was always happy with just 1ml juvederm and I want my money worth treatment. She said she will inject different juvederm this time which is more volumising. I asked; “so why didn’t I get that at first place as promised?” and her reply was that it’s meant to be for cheeks really and it would blust the lips you can imagine my face. Why would I want to do this to my lips? After seeing my panic, she admitted that she actually wouldn’t use that one, but will use a better grade juvederm. I’ve just said, “I’m not happy with my first treatment and what makes you think that I would do the same mistake. It’s obvious to me and all my friends and family that your injection has gone to a place it shouldn’t have and thus no difference on my lips. In fact, it went even flatter, cause of the plumpness above my lips.” Long story short I have requested a correction which is to dilute the filler and refund my money. She has rejected both, saying that she cannot dilute lip fillers and nor she wishes to refund any money and if I won’t pay her for more fillers, she can’t help. I was so devastated, disappointed and dissatisfied. Since then, I have had few consultations with real doctors (not nurse) and they also admitted that because the filler was injected wrong, it gave no volume to the lip but only above it and it looked really ugly. I ve also developed 2 small bumps on my lips which wasn’t looking nice too. I had to complain to her firm in Sunningdale and only after few attempts they have come back to me saying Sharmi is totally capable of diluting the fillers just make an appointment which I did. However, it was a trick from them to convince me again to buy more fillers. Sharmi said again that She won’t and can’t dilute the filler, the only way rectifying this is to inject more and she assured me that “i promise I’ll inject it from a different angle and give u what you want” so i thought what was all this about and why she didn’t do it at first place? And why have I been played like this? Been requested to come to dilute but then been rejected. I have waisted a lot these weeks because of sharmi and trying to sort this out. She didn’t even care how I felt and her way of rectifying things is to sell more fillers. Regards to the two bumps I had, she needled/squeezed them hard, but I still have them so, don’t know how she squeezed them and now I don’t know how to get rid of them. Last time when I spoke to her, she put the phone down on me and I don’t know what to do. I have never experienced anything like that in my life and after all this stress, I still have to get rid of the bumps, dilute my filler and have fillers again. Sharmi gave a damage to my health by stressing me, waisted my time and of course financially.

I totally agree with you. All the reviews on here are attrocious!! I had mole removal back in 2013 luckily a year before my wedding and I’m scarred on my face now. This was at the Henley clinic. I kick myself now every time I think about it. I’m sure she overcharged me - plus the experience was horrendous. It was uncomfortable, there was no anaesthetic involved she removed three moles on my face and one of them after a week went septic and I had to have antibiotics. They have left horrible white scars/dents - two on my forehead and the other above my lip - that was the went green and black. It was awful. Months later I read reviews and they were horrible - I had a lucky escape. But I still feel deeply upset and hurt by the experience and nobody should be put through that - ever! She should not be practicing beauty therapy and treatments. Awful - just awful.

I had a really bad experience with her too and she charged me £800 and when I tried to challenge her I got paperwork of what she did sent to me via email in the end I sent her a Letter of Action (LOA) and said I wanted my money back within 28 days and then I would send a CCJ - I got my money back - as you had yours done in 2016 its too late but that is the only way to get your money with some companies - she should be struck off

“DO NOT GO HERE”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Olliecat on 09/04/2016

I went here to have Botox for the first time. The lady was very pleasant and professional. It was only after the procedure that I realised how inefficient and unprofessional she actually was. After the procedure I told her that I had a spin class within the next 12 hrs and asked if that was ok and she said it was fine. I then read online that any high impact exercise should me avoided for at least 24 hrs otherwise the botox could move and make drooping eye lids. I also told her before the treatment that I had a spa day booked and asked if that would be ok. She said it would be no problem. As I left and got in the car I thought to myself that I had better check again so I went back in and asked again and she said 'oh no you can't have a facial, or sit in a sauna'. I told her that I had already booked this, it was the first time I had off in a year after having a baby. She told me that it was fine to have the facial as long as they only massaged half my face?!?!?. She left me with a forehead that was wrinkle free in the centre but with wrinkles on each side. It looks really strange. I went back to show her as I was so unhappy and she couldn't have got me out of there quick enough. At first she said she couldn't do the sides as my eye may droop. Then she said I would need filler for another £150 and then she said she could put more botox in the sides but only the next time I had a paid session. I then said 'but I thought you said I couldn't as my eye would droop' and she said 'well maybe we can do it and it will be fine’. I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH that you should avoid this salon and woman.

We are very sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with your procedure.

On arrival you were given a consultation form, an after treatment, home care leaflet, which was for you to take away with you. It does specifically address the issues of exercise and how to long to avoid beauty treatments on your face, after receiving Botox/Fillers.

We wish you all the very best for the future and please call us if you wish to discuss.

It's shocking somone can still be trading after all these incidents. I will be contacting groupon to warn them too! Before she does any more damage to anyone!

Oh no!
I bought 1ml of filler on Groupon mainly because it was CHEAP and to consult with a professional about whether I needed something to even out my lips (or not)
She was older than I expected and very honest about my 'botched' lips. She was calming and lovely and I trusted her completely. I explained that various aesthetic experts had said that for some reason the tissue in my upper lip wouldn't 'allow ' the filler in on one side so i was unlikely to achieve the symmetry I wanted. She said she was reluctant to attempt to correct it but said as long as I wrote down that I knew the risks then signed it, she would try her best.
The main thing I was adamant about was that I did NOT want the chimpanzee top lip awful awful Lesley Ash effect .
Well, guess what? Monkey mouth central. And a hard lumpy top lip that I have to spend time on painting carefully with makeup to disguise.
I'm feeling very stupid now reading these reviews/ warnings.

I went to Sharmi Joseph Sunningdale 6th February 2015 to have lip filler. I had .o5ml and let me tell you that the pain while the procedure is taking place is immense and she is very rough. I was left with a terrible bruise which is still apparent on my face and I am typing this review 11 days after my visit. I called and told her but she just pointed out that I had signed the DISCLAIMER!!!!!

Sharmijoseph's Response to ChrissyBrooks's Review

Written on: 23/02/2015

We are very sorry to hear that you have experienced bruising, which has been very distressing for you.

The procedure always includes a numbing cream, which numbs the lip area that will be treated. This should have helped to minimise the discomfort. The common side effects and risks are on the Terms and Conditions which you signed for before your treatment, which was always discussed with you before the actual treatment.

We would like to invite you to visit us if you feel the bruising is still apparent, as this will need to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

I have been having botox and filler injections for several years at Sharmi's Henley Salon. Altogether a pleasant experience, she is a very charming person and very skilled practioner. The results were as good as you can get without expecting miracles. I cannot believe some of the very unkind comments people have made. PJG

Hi PJG I am also a previous customer. I am glad your experience was good.
My personal experience was not to standard. It lead me to check at the GMC and NMC. Please get in touch with these organisation's for an unbiased view I think you will be shocked at some of the things that have been reported. Any practitioner has a duty of care if they are unable to work to this standard and maybe a potential danger to themselves or possibly the general public then this needs to be reported.

“Great treatment”

★★★★☆

written by henleyjmac on 01/05/2014

I am in my early 60's and have been going to Sharmi Joseph for years for Botox and fillers and am delighted with the results I have had. I only looked on this site for the telephone number and was horrified to read the scandalous reports on here. Although I had a slight bruise after one particular session, I was given ice and arnica to reduce the mark. The treatments I have had have lasted for over a year each time and I'm going back for more next week. The only way is to go and find out what good treatment you receive is to go and try for yourself. Express your concerns and I'm sure you will be treated well, reassured and happy with the results. jmac

I also asked about numbing cream and she wouldn't use it, saying that the lip filler has a numbing agent in it but it doesn't at all. I am sure her products are diluted with water. Very secretive and hiding away with her products, doesn't share anything she does and is pushy to get your money.

All the fillers we use contain Lidocaine, which is an inbuilt numbing agent. You also have the option of topical application of a numbing agent called L.M.X.4 which contains Lidocaine 4%. We have in the past used the filler with the inbuilt numbing agent however we appreciate all our clients comments and now offer the topical numbing agent. We understand that the pain threshold of each individual is affected differently.

In regards to 'diluting with water' this is impossible to do so.

If you have any further concerns we welcome you to contact us to discuss.

“Never again”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 10/02/2014

I had had a facial the week before at a different clinic & to be honest the 2 experiences were as different as chalk & cheese, I arrived at Sharmi Joseph but although I pressed the buzzer 3 times to gain entry - no one answered, I waited about 8 minutes called their number - voice-mail - left a msg that I was out side. The Reception area was quite nice (& warm) the route to the treatment room up stairs had what was once a cream carpet - it was filthy, the treatment room had NO ambiance at all, the room was chilly & through my treatment of 1.5hrs the only sounds were that of a very noisy whirring fan heater (that was clearly not doing its job) & the 'tick tick' of what I later discovered to be the timer on the facial steamer - there were no soft tunes to conceal these annoying sounds. The products used must have been kept in a freezer, they were like ice & I started to dread each application, honestly it is the very first time I would have just liked to escape & leave half way through but felt obliged to stay to the end. Upon dressing at the nd I noticed 2 A4 notices on the door advising the beauticians to 'up-sell' & remember to never talk about yourself but to always ask the customer - where - when - why - to make them feel special - sadly there is a lot more to making a client feel special & Sharmi Joseph offered none, I left more stressed than when I arrived - hugely dissapointed.

“I bought a Groupon deal for 89 pounds to remove a skin...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/11/2013

I bought a Groupon deal for 89 pounds to remove a skin tag at this clinic . However after five minutes meeting "consultation" with who ever her name is Sharmi Joseph I realized that what I'm putting my self in. She claimed that my skin tag is larger than what the offer is about and that she has to charge me an additional hundred of pounds. She even lied in my face that it is a mole despite my GP referred to it as a skin tag. She kept the cost unfixed just to collect some money claiming that the board of directors will not be happy if I dont proceed with the treatment otherwise I will loose the voucher. I challenged her that the voucher did not mention about the size and that she troubled me to travel from Kent being mislead by her offer. She said that it meant to introduce her clinic to the public only and they forgot to write "size does matter" !! Seriously, the Trading Standards must interfere in this and get everyone affected some compensation. I will contact Groupon to request a refund immediately. Please be careful everyone and to the couple of people who wrote positive comments on her, are you real patients or just the fake Sharmi herself !?

“Avoid at all costs unless you like throwing money away”

★☆☆☆☆

written by tonroe1978 on 07/04/2013

Groupon deal offering thread vein treatment on choice of four areas. Following my consultation with Sharmi she said that the areas I wanted treatment exceeded the four areas areas on offer and I would need to return. I asked for her to pay particular attention to a broken vein on my cheek, the main reason for me purchasing this, she said I needed to wait for a week to see the results and recommended I return for another consultation(free). As there was no change I went back only for her to charge me to redo the broken vein on my cheek and again offer another free consultation. I did not go back as the broken vein was still there and I did not want to be ripped off any further. Lesson learnt. Wish I had found this review website before as I fingers would not have been burnt twice.

“Sharmi Joseph a wonderful experience (Sclerosing)”

★★★★★

written by HighSociety on 14/02/2013

I have visited Sharmi Joseph at her clinics in Sunningdale and Ascot, I found her premises to be spotless, clean well presented, she was charming and answered all my questions. I had a terrible 2 dogs attack on my right leg , that was painful, uncomfortable and ugly blue veins. Sharmi after taking down my full medical history, explained all the procedures, what would be the realistic outcome, possible drawbacks or side effects and how long the down time would be and how many visits it would be, all needles were sealed and she opened in front of me ! My treatment was fantastic after 3 visits the terrible mess that was my leg is now blemish free, I am so excited and happy, I want to tell everyone about her, she was extremly skilled and very informative with great after care. I do not recognise the other reviews as the same woman or place ? I was not rushed into my decision quite the opposite, I will certainly continue to visit Sharmi. A happy client Mrs Adams.Berkshire

“What a rip off ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/11/2012

I recently had Botox with sharmii. Having had it various time before elsewhere I have never had to have top ups but the lure of the special offer she was running convinced me to go there. I went to sunningdale in the evening and she was wasn't there and the salon in darkness I waited 10 mins and she turned up saying oh darling sorry was stuck in London.so I went in to a rather run down and shabby looking salon. It was also freezing in there. After a quick consultation she did the procedure. 10 days later I still had the same lines on forehead I called and spoke to sharmi who said I had to wait 14 days which I did but still no better,she then said to go see her.i did this in the day and again the salon was freezing cold.after topping me up with more she then said it would be another £125 I was outraged but had no choice to pay What a bad misrepresentation of a medical professional she is. And I would advise anyone seeking good service from her should think twice.

“Very disappointed !!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Sammymax on 05/11/2012

Visited Sharmi 3 weeks before my wedding in July for Botox treatment in 3 areas. It cost 315 pounds but I really wanted to look my best and so I thought I would treat myself. The Botox didn't seem very affective and only lasted for 3 weeks ! I have had Botox before at other salons and it has always worked almost straight away and lasted for about 3 /4 months. Very unhappy about the effect and spending a fortune I called sharmi to ask if she would ' top me up' prior to my wedding but she said she would only do this if I paid another 200 or had fillers which cost about 300 darling ! I used to go to sharmi about 6 years ago for Botox and never had a complaint, don't know what's happened to her ethics now, she definitely waters down her Botox and I will never return despite a text on my phone today from her salon with offers and reductions on Botox etc hopefully her customers have become wise to her under hand practices and she will soon be out of business!!

Isabelnl's Response to Sammymax's Review

It is a shame that you felt disappointed with your treatment.

We are pleased, however that you returned to our salon after visiting us six years ago, which speaks volumes.

It is important to remember that you will not see the results of your Botox injection immediately. Botox typically begins to work 5-7 days following injection, with results being even better at two weeks.

The botox works to paralyze the muscle, but you were still seeing the creases in your skin? Lines that are present when the face is at rest will not go away with botox. Botox paralyzes muscle, but it does not fill erase the creases in the skin that have resulted from years of frowning. The paralysis will keep the creases from deepening. Over time and serial botox injections, lines that are present at rest will often soften quite a bit.

Some clients require dual treatment to include Botox and a filler. Some individuals will still have a crease even after the Botox has taken effect, this can be improved by following up with a filler, which Sharmi suggested.

“Unprofessional and horrid”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 14/10/2012

I visited Sharmi in Windsor for some sclerotherapy vein injection, first impressions were a tired salon that was a bit run down. On my second visit (first appointment of the morning) there was even a used needle on the floor of the treatment room! Needless to say after that I never returned. Sharmi does not inspire confidence, lots of 'darling' but seemed apprehensive to give advice to my directed concerns. All her certificates dotted around are at least 10 years old so I'm not even sure of how up to date her practices are - there's certainly nothing medical about this establishment. I've paid less and had a significantly higher standard of treatment elsewhere. I would NOT recommend this place.

“Ethically and clinically reprehensible”

★☆☆☆☆

written by anondermatologist on 22/09/2012

I am a local dermatologist in Windsor who has had several run ins with this 'clinic.' My first concerns came about when I had a young lady attend my surgery to ask for a letter to tell Sharmi Joseph that 'her mole was benign.' I refused, stating that nobody could tell a mole was benign 100% until it has been removed and sent for histology. A member of my staff phoned Sharmi Joseph and insisted on a full refund in her case. I take skin lesions off all the time BUT I have 17 years medical experience, have been involved in dermatology for 12 years, and have a diploma of dermatology AND dermoscopy. The people removing lesions in this 'clinic' are technicians, not clinicians, really should not be doing this, and will undoubtedly get into a great deal of trouble in the near future when they remove a mole that turns out to be a melanoma. The person taking off the lesion bears full clinical responsibility whether they hole a letter from somebody'd GP or not saying a particular lesion is benign.

“DO NOT GO TO SHARMI JOSPEH FOR MOLE REMOVAL”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Orners on 10/08/2012

I booked through Groupon to have a mole removed. £89, which I thought was fairly good value. However, when I arrived, Sharmi looked at the mole, and said that due to the size of the mole, I would need to pay another £150 if I wanted to have it removed! Now it was a reasonable size mole, but not abnormal by any means. As I has built myself up to having it removed I decided to pay the extra. Anyway, it took Sharmi about 5 minutes to cut it off. Hardly £150 of extra hard work for her than a normal mole. Anyway, I left and decided that would be the end of it. However, 6 months later, the scar left behind is worse than the mole I had. If you want a mole removed for cosmetic purposes, do not go here. The crude method of removal, with no stitches or aftercare has left a very unsightly result. Money grabbing crook.
