I've now been to Ivonne Sanchez Beauty twice, and seen Bella both times- the first time for a…read morechrome manicure, the second time for a shellac mani/pedi. I was hesitant to try somewhere new after having gone to the same place for years, but came initially as part of a girl date with one of my friends. The salon is very bright and clean. I love pink, so they earn brownie points with me for the rose gold, white, and pink decor. Their staff is really personable and friendly. It's really my favourite part of the experience! Bella was amazing and really listened and "gets" what I'm asking for. I'm picky and indecisive, so that really says a lot and is important to me when it comes to nails or any beautification. I also really love that they have so many colour options and offer cool ideas that I wouldn't necessarily think of on my own. After my initial visit, I learned chrome doesn't work well for me- I think my nails are maybe too oily or my cuticles just didn't like it. Bella went above and beyond to find a solution, and really cared about me being happy with her work. I can't even say how valuable that is in this kind of industry- as a consumer it's certainly rare to find people who take so much pride in their work. It's a nice central location, in Sparks street. For convenience I just parked at the World Exchange Plaza (free on weekends!) but there is also street parking available if you know where to look. I would totally recommend this spot to a friend, I'm considering coming back to try the lash extensions or microblading, I love that it's all in one spot!

Sabria is absolutely spectacular. She did my brows before…read morethe pandemic and now did a browntouch up and permanent upperlid eyeliner. What a differece!! I wake up looking ready and awake. Her experience provides her with an unparalleled ability to assess a person's face and create the most amazing brow shapes. She was totally honest and recommended only a subtle upper lid liner. I have and would continue to recommend Sabria for your permanent brows and eyeliner. Do it, you won't regret it!

I have had my brows and my lashes done at Brows and Beyond. The micro needling technique that…read moreSabia uses is the way to go for perfect no maintenance and natural looking brows. Mine were done 6 months ago and still no touch ups required. Ali did my lashes for the first time last week. Again very natural looking but enhanced. Just beautiful. They really open up my eyes. Very happy with the professional and friendly service and the results speak for themselves. Thank you ladies! Linda

I've been going here for my eyelash extensions for over half a year now, since switching over from…read moreanother place, staff is friendly and accommodating. Main thing I like here is that they offer suggestions on what I think I'm looking to do. Only issue for me was finding the place at first since it's on the second floor.

Really disappointed with how my lashes came out. I have a great lash girl in Toronto but recently…read moremoved to Ottawa and tried NuMi. I got the 2-3D Russian volume. The technician completely failed to make a fan with the lash extensions, so rather than looking like I have 2-3 distinct lash extensions on one natural lash it looks like I have one clunky lash. Instead of the "light and fluffy" look I asked for I got a heavy and spidery look. Going to look for another salon to remove these crazy looking extensions ASAP.

Vanity is a higher-end piercing studio. It was a real pleasure to visit today to get my nostril…read morere-pierced. The shop is bright and clean, though it does smell like embalming fluid due to it being right next to a funeral home where they do embalmings. Nothing they can do about that... Keri did my piercing and she was so kind and professional. She really knows her stuff...Even though I have had my nostril pierced before, Keri still took the time to talk about aftercare. Keri walked me through everything ahead of time, answered any questions that I had about jewelry options and price. During the procedure Keri was attentive and asked me how I was doing. Of course it hurt, like any piercing does, but her bedside manner was awesome! I will be returning to Vanity in the future, once my piercing heals to have her pierce another nose ring beside the one I just got done today. Vanity also has a large collection of barbells, so I am looking forward to also changing my Industrial piercing with a barbell that is a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

By far the best piercing experience I've ever had. I booked an appointment with them to get my…read moreseptum piercing done. Tine, my piercer, was wonderful, taking the time to answer any questions I had about my septum piercing. You can tell she really loves and cares about what she is doing, and it made me feel comfortable at ease knowing that I was in good hands. I'm so happy with my septum and it seems to be healing well. The next best thing about this place (besides their piercers and jewellery selection) is that they provide or offer follow up check ups to see how you well your piercing is healing. I would 100% recommend booking an appointment with this place, you will not be disappointed!
