Really and truly one of the worst experiences I have ever had at ANY establishment…read more I can assign the one star rating to cleanliness. That's where it ends at Raw Beauty Bar. The manicurist's behavior was appalling and the overall manicure sub-par (see photos below for the hack job on my cuticles and the overall streaky and messy colour). Will have to visit either of my two tried-and-true nail salons in the east end to fix this one. I usually write more detailed reviews. This was my third attempt at it. I'm beyond angry about this experience and nothing I wrote seemed appropriate, so there you have it.

UPDATED REVIEW:…read more Everything can be fixed with some good old fashioned customer service. After I posted my review (you can see my previous review below) the owner of the salon emailed me directly. Not only did she apologize, but she explained things (why they've been short staffed, why it's been hard to get in touch, etc), without trying to excuse them and then she laid out her plan of solutions. It really was the definition of how to win back a customer. I went back today and couldn't have had a better experience. Big props to the young woman running this bustling business- a one-woman show- with integrity and respect. I booked my appointment online, which was very quick and easy. The staff were all friendly and incredibly attentive. All my previous issues seem to be a distant memory. I will definitely be going back. My previous review: Cute interior, good location, but poor customer service and a lack of communication between the employees. I've been a few times, hoping once I got into their grove, things would improve. I can't even count the number of unreturned voicemails I've left. Literally a week will go by and my voicemail (during business hours because the phone goes unanswered regularly) will never be returned. I haven't found any of the staff particularly friendly. There's a candy bar at the front and a coffee machine but I've never seen anyone be offered a drink. The nail services themselves are good. I think it would be fun for a bachelorette party or a group of girls since you could take over and make it what you want.

She walked me through the care steps, and now that my sessions are all done, my hair is almost all gone. She uses the Soprano XL laser which I have learned is the most effective and pain free.

They also use a booking system that sends text and email reminders for appointments, which I found very useful.

Not being used to the procedure, I started crying from the pain my first session and she gave me a hug ;) She works alone so it can be slightly difficult to get a hold of her, I just leave a message and wait for a call back, she usually replies within 4-24hrs.

She's been doing this for years and really knows her stuff. The only thing I would suggest is make sure you get a time that isn't too busy with other appointments and be on time. If not, there will be a bit of a rushed feeling. I found this place on Groupon which is a great way to try out a couple different spots before committing to the long term process that is hair removal. For larger body parts I like laser because it's faster and not painful, but electrolysis is perfect for small body parts like lip or chin because it's really effective.

I'm extremely disappointed with the treatment I received at this salon. I called ahead and…read moreconfirmed a 1:30 PM appointment. I arrived on time, sat down, and was completely ignored -- no greeting, no acknowledgment. Two walk-in customers who came after me also sat down, were greeted, and when we were all eventually seated, they were attended to immediately while I was left waiting. After 25 minutes of being disregarded, I got up to leave, only then did someone ask me to "please wait." By then, it was obvious that I was not a priority. The difference in how I was treated (I'm a black woman) compared to the other (white) customers was glaring and unacceptable. I have supported this business before, but after experiencing this blatant disrespect and bias, I will never return. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

Highly recommend the staff here. When you walk in you are greeted, offer you water while you wait and whether you need to use the bathroom before the appointment. When your technician is ready she will come and get you and walk you to your room and provide any guidance or answe any questions to get you sorted for your appointment. The one thing I did wish was some music which I noticed was absence during this appointment--but my technician was amazing so can't complain!
