She was a nice person and I was hoping I found someone I could stick with, but no, I have not. I'm really surprised about my experience since I decided to go see her based on the glowing reviews here and the experience she claims to have. This is why I felt like I had to leave a honest review. ------ Update: its been less than a week, and she has used too much glue and didnt smooth it out, the glue is clumpy and has sharp edges, it pokes my eyelids no matter how gently I touch them. And whe they fall out and gets in my eye - it hurts really bad and scratch my eyes they turn red.

My eyebrows typically grow in like the McDonald's arches (not cute), so I was in need. I was a walk in client today and was able to be taken right away by TT. She had fantastic customer service and talked to me the whole time! It's sometimes a quiet process which I don't mind as I know English is often not the first language but I very much welcomed her bright spirit and conversation today. She was very clean and precise. She showed me the mirror a few times to make sure she was giving me what I asked for. Even at the end when she applied aloe, she found a spot that wasn't to her liking and went back in. She did my brows and my chin in no time. Not only was she fast, but exact, friendly and such a warm spirit. I typically walk in and take whomever is free as they are all amazing and have done this for the last three years. However, I will be booking with TT from now on. If you're in the west end, or just looking to get your brows threaded, A1 Brows is the place for you!

So, I called to ask about the wait and they said probably around 15 mins, so I was about 10 mins away and felt this would be my best option. They weren't personable at all and no small talk at all, just confirmed what I wanted and the shape and thickness I like my brows. It wasn't the gentleness threading I'm used to, but she got the job done and my brows looked great. I felt like they hurt a bit after for a couple of days, so I was wondering if I'd been cut, but I just took care of it at home in my routine moisture care maintenance. Good alternative spot for brow threading that you can trust.

I visited habit after looking for a spa for a facial as a Valentine's Day treat to myself. I…read morereceived a lot of ads about habit after searching and they were offering a new customer special. I received a custom facial from Lani and it was a great experience. She was super friendly and explained exactly what products she'd use based on my skin from her observation and my concerns. The facial was awesome and I'd love to put it in my routine consistently but it'd be a bit of a splurge for me. Now the space itself was beautiful but could use some improvements for customer experience. First the room I received my facial didn't have a curtain it was open which made it hard to relax and wind down because I could hear people moving throughout the spa and talking. A lot of talking. Not obnoxiously just more than I'd care to hear since I came to relax. Lastly. The music choices could also be a bit more relaxing like calming/soothing instrumentals rather than music with lyrics. Overall I'd visit again but some changes could make this a much better experience.

The facial was good, the products felt great on my skin and left it shining and flawless, and the facial massage was heavenly. In the downside, we were taken back over 10 minutes past our appointment times and the majority of the appointment was spent asking questions and talking. Additionally, the spa does not have a traditional facial with spa robes etc as it is all in the open so that takes away from the spa feel. Overall, the facial was great and I would definitely go back again!

I had a french gel manicure and a classic pedicure. The total came out to being $150, which is very reasonable for the technique used. My nail tech was polite and a junior artist so I did have a lot of patience and did not expect expert work, however, I suffered multiple cuts on my foot and hand that caused a lot of bleeding along my cuticle. Also my paint on my toes were ruined with small bubbles since she did use AirDryer spray, but not enough for me to return it can be smoothed out at home with nail polish remover.
