I never observed anyone else being treated with less consideration. I'm not sure where the nasty reviews come from, but the contrast between my experience and the claims made, does make me wonder if it's more about rubbishing a competitor than reporting an actual customer service experience...hmm!

Their small shop has an exhaustive inventory of every sort of film and digital body you could expect, and an even greater array of glass.

Not only was the frame too flimsy to be picked up from the top without bending so much that the fasteners for the picture popped out, but the wire they provided for me to string up the hanging mechanism was WAY too short. From now on, I'm choosing Amazon or other custom options here in Victoria for framing, instead of these guys. So disappointed, after years of living elsewhere and having solid, professional options for framing.

Fantastic!…read moreShawn Ross showed up an hour before he was scheduled to arrive (he phone to make sure that would be OK) and in slightly over an hour he had my computer hooked up to the printer and working great. Shawn was friendly and knowledgeable. Gave me some great tips and while we were waiting for the internet to come on cleaned out a lot of extra stuff I didn't even known I still had on the computer. The bill was far cheaper than I thought it would be and that was a nice surprise.

Brought the issue up with Blush, they would pay for alterations. However, at the same time they offered that, they measured me again in the middle of the store. With all of their other customers.

Completely and utterly disappointed…read more Salon is okay, very cute. Dressing rooms are small but again the ambiance is cute. No private viewing area and crowded most days. I found 3 dresses that I loved within my price range. I was shopping on my own being from Calgary but finally decided on a dress and felt confident in moving forward. I expressed my concerns about the dress being long enough (the sample wasn't) and they assured me upon paying an additional $200 that I would be given extra length. They took my measurements and assured me all would be well. Dress comes in and we make a trip specifically to view the gown with my mom, brother and maid of honour. I get in the dressing room and make a comment that it is too short. Lady suggests I come out barefoot. Come out everyone says its beautiful we start looking at headpieces/jewelry etc. By the end I have forgotten that it is too short. Pay the remaining balance and leave "happy". Get home - remember that it is too short - try it on again and contact the salon regarding it. They have done absolutely nothing. They are still kind (to a degree) but refuse to refund me the money I paid for the extra length at minimum. Only offer for me to bring it back to them for them to try and alter the dress to give it extra length (which will change the look of the dress and cost me a trip out there from calgary). To wrap up this vent-fest I ended up buying another more beautiful gown and have a $2000 unworn un-useable dress sitting in my closet. DON'T TRUST THEM WITH YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!

It's not the biggest location in town and the parking lot is a little tricky, but we still feel…read morethis is the best LD in town. When the heat wave this year hit its peak in Victoria, they were the only place in town that still had fans (and we tried six chains!). When we needed a passport photo for our one-year old recently, two other locations either wouldn't take it or weren't sure about the requirements. However, the photo lab team here (Lance and Carley) was superb. They had a booster seat with safety straps, were very knowledgeable and detailed about how the picture needed to appear (head position, closed mouth, framing and size), were incredibly patient and understanding when our child cried at first and we couldn't get a good image, then they made a brilliant suggestion to give him a snack to help him calm down and close his mouth. So clever!! We really appreciate their care and community focus. We will definitely come here from now on.
