Description

Dr Scott Carlson - After 35 years of providing healthcare and aesthetic services in Grand Rapids I have made the decision to retire and will no longer be providing medical and aesthetics services. While I have enjoyed every aspect of my work I am excited to be able to spend time with my wife and family doing many things having a busy practice has inhibited us from doing together over the years. Because I would like for you to continue to receive the best aesthetic services available, I highly recommend you continue to work with Ms. Cathy Uecker, RN of Simply the Best Aesthetics & Training Center. Cathy owns Simply the Best Aesthetics & Training Center (STB) located in a stunningly beautiful facility at 6740 Cascade Road SE, Grand Rapids.

Best Botox and lip injections!!! The attention to detail is unmatched

Cathy was amazing during my level 1 training! She’s knowledgeable, detailed, and patient. Her welcoming staff and commitment to helping students beyond one class made the experience even better.


Sep 06, 2024

I have been going to see Cathy Uecker for close to 5 years. I have the utmost respect for Cathy's knowledge and expertise in her Aesthetics practice! I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking these services!

So thankful Google reviews helped me find Cathy at Simply The Best Aesthetics! She has the absolute best customer service: kind, confident, understanding, knowledgeable, & truly cares about the client. Prior to proceeding, she does such a good job explaining the process in a way the client understands! Great pricing and results!

I moved to Kalamazoo a few years ago and struggled to find a place that I loved. A friend recommended Cathy and even though it was an hour drive, I decided to try it. From the moment I walked into the office, I knew it was worth the drive. I was a little surprised when she told me the length of our first appt, but soon understood why. Cathy asked me very detailed questions about my concerns and areas I wanted to address. She gave very thoughtful, detailed and thorough information with absolutely no pressure. I left feeling like she really understood my concerns and goals and was completely confident that she could help me. She takes before and after pics after every visit and always checks in after a procedure to make sure I like the results. Cathy really is a needle in the haystack- a perfect combination of knowledge, experience and a warm personality. I truly feel so lucky to have found her!

Entering my third year as a loyal client. This place is lovely, very clean, and tastefully decorated. Cathy is a wonderful, kind human, I look forward to chatting with her during my appointments! She has always had my best interest in mind, as she is exceptionally educated in her craft! I would absolutely recommend Simply The Best Aesthetic!


Apr 06, 2024

Simply the Best truly is the best! I am impressed with all of the services they offer. Everything from botox to permanent cosmetics and more. Cathy is so kind and caring. She takes the time to listen and address any issues you're having. Her Knowledge is expansive and she explains everything clearly. Julie is remarkable at permanent cosmetics and offers other services like lashes and a variety of facials with a friendly and professional demeanor. I completely trust both Cathy and Julie with my beauty needs.


Mar 06, 2024

Huge thank you to Cathy at Simply the best for helping me feel and look my personal best! Professional, informative with great care and a thorough explanation of options. You’re amazing!!!


Mar 06, 2024

I had the best experience with Cathy; I was really impressed by her knowledge and the information she provided to help me find the best but most conservative route for my treatment. I’ve had experiences at other spas and no one has ever taken such a caring and supportive approach. I highly recommend Simply The Best!!


Feb 06, 2024

Cathy is THE expert in Grand Rapids for all things Aesthetics. She is knowledgeable, kind, honest and fun!


Feb 06, 2024

Cathy is the best!!


Feb 06, 2024

Cathy’s level of expertise is unparalleled! Her attention to detail and bedside manner are top notch! I’m a longterm client and drive from the MetroDetroit area - well worth the drive. Highly recommend!


Feb 06, 2024

I have been a client for 2.5 years. I love their products, services and our "partnering" to help me age as gracefully as possible!


Feb 06, 2024

I have received both Botox treatments from Cathy and a wonderful facial from Julie! Beautiful, clean facility with fantastic treatments that use top of the market products! The facial I received with Julie was the best I have ever received. The warm facial bed, relaxing background music, wonderful smelling products, and fantastic aesthetician (Julie) made it extra special! Thanks Simply, I will be back!


Feb 06, 2024

I have received botox and skin care advice from Cathy along with facials from Julie for years now. Cathy’s skills and expertise are top notch! I have never left with questions or disappointed. Will be coming back for years to come!!


Feb 06, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cathy's establishment for a consultation, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. Cathy displayed an impressive level of knowledge, kindness, and consideration that exceeded my expectations with an ambiance that was very relaxing, making me feel instantly at ease. Cathy's attentiveness and genuine care for her customers were immediately evident as she took the time to understand my needs and listened attentively to my concerns. She also provided detailed explanations and her expert advice, ensuring I had a clear understanding of the options that were available to me. I will definitely be returning and will leave an updated review (as this was a complementary consultation).


Feb 06, 2024

Kathy cares about her patients and listens and Gives great results!!!


Feb 06, 2024

Kathy is a professional and a pleasure to work with.


Feb 06, 2024

Love this place. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing facility. Well organized and extremely professional office environment. Have been coming here since they opened for Botox, fillers and microneedling. Also as a bonus, on staff is a very good permanent makeup artist, Julie. Had my eye brows tattooed and they look so natural. Would recommend Simply The Best Aesthetics for anyone looking to enhance the beautiful person you already are.


Feb 06, 2024

Simply the Best Aesthetics is simply the best! Cathy's expertise and knowledge is unsurpassed and her Botox application has changed the way I feel about my face. The facility is beautiful and clean and everyone is friendly and professional!


Feb 06, 2024

Simply the Best is the most professional skincare in Cascade . Love their skin care and facials. Cathy and staff offer services with great results. Never feel rushed and always enjoy my treatments.


Feb 06, 2023

Cathy Uecker is beyond amazing! If you want the best, then you need to see Cathy. She has years of experience and goes above and beyond to work with you on any issue you may have. She is fabulous with skin care and takes the time to see where improvements can be made so you feel wonderful about yourself. Once you have been with Cathy, you never want to go anywhere else. You will be so impressed and satisfied with her services and skills. Her business name states the truth "Simply the Best Aesthetics & Training Center".


Feb 06, 2023

Cathy at Simply The Best is just that…simply the best! I was having major troubles with migraine headaches and her suggested plan of action has made my quality of life a ten! Not only that, she listens, suggests then implements a skincare treatment plan with seamless and satisfactory results.


Feb 06, 2023

Cathy is EXCELLENT! I struggled with acne for much of my adult life, but Cathy created a personalized skincare plan that has both eliminated my acne and drastically improved my complexion. Now I get skin compliments all the time, which I still find hard to believe. This place has improved my overall confidence and quality of life.


Feb 06, 2023

Cathy is the best. Listens to your concerns and makes recommendations. Very caring and knowledgeable! I would never go anywhere else!


Feb 06, 2023

Cathy made my experience a breeze. It was nice to have a consultation and service the same exact day, I will be sending all of my friends and family to her and will be back myself!


Feb 06, 2023

I drive over an hour to see Cathy at Simply the best aesthetics in GR. I’ve never had anyone spend the kind of time on me that Cathy does. She is a true artist and she has made me feel so much better about myself. I trust her expertise explicitly!


Feb 06, 2023

I have been going to Simply the Best for years. I can’t say enough about them. What stands out the most is the honest recommendations. Never ‘pushing’ products or services like other places. Love them.


Feb 06, 2023

I was referred to simply the best Aesthetics by a friend! I totally recommend this place! Cathy does an amazing job and the atmosphere is great . She makes you feel so comfortable and explains things to you..


Feb 06, 2023

There are no other words for Cathy other than “Simply The Best” Cathy is a true artist, she has the ability to see the uniqueness of your face. Cathy is caring and compassionate, she listens while delivering outstanding consistent results!


Feb 06, 2022

Cathy is a true professional and incredibly knowledgeable in skin care and aesthetics. I came to her after years of bouncing around to dermatologists and med spas to try to fix scaring and pigmentation issues without seeing much progress. After just one year of doing the treatments that Cathy recommended to me my skin has never looked better. She’s also the only injector that has ever given me Botox that I absolutely loved.


Feb 06, 2022

Every experience that I have had with Cathy at Simply the Best Aesthetics has been... "extra" ordinary! From the moment I met Cathy, she immediately put me at ease with her extensive knowledge, honesty, integrity and ability to explain clinical services and products in an easy understandable manner. Each clinical procedure I have experienced has been thoughtfully designed for me, exceeded my expectations and has been "simply" amazing! Thank you Cathy for sharing your years of training, intellect and unsurpassed expertise. I will continue to refer to your practice every chance I get!

From the minute I walk in the door of Simply the Best Aesthetics, I am greeted with warmth, kindness, and professionalism. The office, waiting area, treatment rooms, restroom etc. are always beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Cathy, as others have already said, is Simply the Best at what she knows and how she applies it. Cathy trains other skin care professionals across the nation and after your first conversation with her, it will be clear that she is up to date with the science of skin care technology and its associated continuing medical education. I have had several treatments with her including filler, neurotoxin (Botox or Dysport), and laser skin rejuvenation treatments. My results are always very natural and beautiful. I am 55 years old and have been having “skin treatments” for the last 15 year from a variety of other providers. One of the many areas that sets Cathy apart is that she never recommends a service that she does not believe will work for you. You will find that she does not operate under the sole principal of trying to "make a buck"; she is an expert in her field and never encourages anyone to undergo any procedure that will not give the most benefit. Cathy tries to make sure that I am offered all available rebates and rewards whenever possible; she only sells products that she believes in and uses herself. I truly can't say enough good about Simply the Best and Cathy. Everyone is unique and skin reacts differently to different modalities but with Cathy, you can rest assured that you are under the best care and I am sure that, like me, you will really look forward to your next appointment!


Feb 06, 2022

I can honestly say I’ve never been more happy with a experience in this profession before , so welcoming , I left full of knowledge, never felt pushed , feeling amazing and overall the best I’ve ever felt about getting fillers . The placement , the eye to detail ... you’re truly an artist and take pride in your work and it really show with the outcome, thank you so much!!


Feb 06, 2022

I had gone somewhere else for microblading over a year ago, and was unhappy with my results. Julie was able to "fix" my eyebrows, and I am loving them now!!!


Feb 06, 2022

I have been to a number of Aesthetic Specialists and by far Cathy has been the most professional and knowledgeable of all. She has also become a friend. I would recommend her for certain.


Feb 06, 2022

I have followed Julie for years for permanent make up. She is very detail oriented and I am always happy with my results. Very experienced and professional. Beautiful facility, clean and follow infection control procedures.
