I am unfortunately no longer a fan of Waxon. I decided to get my eyebrows done here and regret it…read moredeeply. Not only did the girl who did my brows not listen to what I asked for at all, I now have these two red scabs under my eyebrows. I called the front desk and the lady at the front desk (who was lovely by the way and was clearly just trying to help), said it was likely because the wax they used was too hot and offered me an oil to put on my brows. The oil burned my eyebrows and I looked to see the ingredients and it has blood orange and grapefruit extract in it so no wonder it burns. I won't be coming back, I like my skin intact after an eyebrow wax, which is too bad because I liked Waxon. Pardon the terrible photo of me that I'm posting to show what the burn looks like.

I'm NOT going back again…read more I went to there in the early of this summer. I loved my new style of hair but the customer service need to fix. My total cost was almost $800 for two of us. I gave 20% chip for our staylists. By the way the lady in the front just told to me the amount of my service and flilpped a machine for a credit card. I have to asked her the reciept. I needed to know why my bill was so hight. When I made an appointment by phone, I got to told by someone said about $450 for two. It's more $350 then I expected. crazy!!! I couldn't check the details of my service at the salon. There were uncertain charges so I sent an email next day. Almost two months since I send it but no one reached me at all. Everytime a hair stylist does something and it will be charges, you should to explain the customer first. It is my choice to do or don't, not a hair stylist. I guess we were the first time being there. Terrible customer service and be awere hidden charges...

I feel compelled to remove a Remedy Spa star based on my experiences here in the last 6 months…read more What with being a pretty big fan of this spa when it initially opened I was (evidently) one of the first people to end up on the spam list. I remember why I had initially forked over my contact details to RS and it was because they occasionally have open house events where you can try products and even receive free (micro session) services like paraffin treatments. Uhh, free spa services!? Show me the dotted line! Several months later I did however start to notice that I was receiving multiple promotional offers/month in my email as well as being sent junk mail in snail mail version! Haughtily, I informed RS that I wanted to receive no more junk and yet somehow still receive the occasional email... At least the paper waste has stopped... I guess? My second gripe with RS was over an encounter I had in late July. I even booked this 50% off wax session from Vancouver, weeks in advance... I was THAT pumped about being back to the land of reasonably priced lady services! Upon arriving, I had an extremely awkward conversation with my esthetician about what *type* of service I would be getting. Trying to cajole someone into ripping MORE hair from between your legs is, I assure you, uncomfortable even for an extrovert. Perhaps you have had this happen before? Where you have been inadvertently booked into a smaller time window than your desired service will take? The real crux in all of this was that whomever I had booked with had not asked which service I wanted and what ultimately came to light was that my wax lady had NEVER DONE A FULL BIKINI WAX BEFORE. She was therefor too nervous to try on me (hey, me too once I found this out!) and I ended up paying for and leaving with a) not the service I had wanted and b) a rather crooked and sloppy job upon at home inspection. To be fair, we've all started new jobs before and I guess there's no school for bikini waxing with faux hippy bush dummies to practice on but come on... I hope my next experience at Remedy is more customer oriented! I will for sure be clarifying repeatedly in future which service I want as well as requesting a more experienced wax-er.

When I reached the tastefully designed landing, the smell of warm citrus was like a veil, calming me instantaneously and giving me the desire to be fully pampered. I entered into the small space and was greeted by sunlight and shelves of properly placed products. The lady at the desk was on the tele, so I grabbed a pamphlet and perused the skin care goodies. While reaching for the price list, I noticed an assortment of alcohol bottles and martini glasses - I was wooed right then and there into wanting a Sex & the City moment to call my own. The Farmhouse Fresh products looked sassy and sweet, with yummy smells and gorgeous packaging. There was a foot treatment called the Honey Heel Glaze, selling for $24, which looked like a lovely product. Remedy also carries OPI nail products and a variety of other soothing and rejuvenating luxury items to make your epidermis glow! I loved the look and feel of this place and was glad I opted to head up the stairs to check this place out. The smell alone is enough to calm even the most wound-up of souls, and should be a service in itself. I adore this Facial Bar and would love to have a treatment here.

Stella is the best eyebrow waxer, not just in Halifax, but possibly Canada. It's been 3 years since…read moreI left Halifax and I've yet to find a better brow-shaper in Toronto and beyond. I'm super picky when it comes to eyebrows. Not just because it's such an important expressive facial feature, but a bad eyebrow shape or colour is just such a terrible, terrible thing. It's blinding, you can't look away! It can ruin an otherwise good-looking girl or guy's face. (Sidenote: Men, don't over-shape your brows. It's very noticeable.) If you're not convinced about the importance of a good eyebrow shape, that suits your face, then I give you this: http://www.wackyarchives.com/bizarre/you-think-unibrows-are-bad.html My own can take over a year to recover from a bad over-waxing or an asymmetrical shaping, so that makes me very hesitant to just put them at the mercy of any overzealous waxer. That will never happen if you visit Stella. She has a real talent for shaping eyebrows to make you look better than you ever thought you could look. I'm talking about 'receiving compliments on how nice your eyebrows look' kind of good-looking. She's also like an eyebrow doctor for people with broken eyebrows. She'll tell you how to work towards repairing and growing into a good eyebrow shape, even if you've been waxing them to high heaven for years. She's worth every penny! I always joke with friends that I would fly back to Halifax just to get my eyebrows shaped but I'm not sure that I'm actually joking. Update: After receiving input from Sara K.P. I feel compelled to share with you a gallery of men who have styled their eyebrows, then fallen in a tank of spray tan, among other atrocities. Men, do not do this to yourselves: http://cavemancircus.com/2010/05/19/a-gallery-of-orange-colored-guidos-to-point-and-laugh-at-of-the-day-1/

I heard that Christine at Sykea was the best curly hair stylist in Halifax and and decided to give her a try. All I can say is "Thank You" to the previous yelpers for recommending this salon. I can't say enough about the great cut she gave me. She understands curly hair and preforms magic in minutes. Her calm demeanor and totally professional approach made me feel at ease as soon as i sat in her chair. I left Sykea and Christine looking and feeling like a million dollars for under $60. She should be on Newbury Street in Boston....really she's that good!

Hey, I hate writing this, I really went back and forth on it. I've been an on and off customer for…read moreabout 7 years. I don't come in all the time, I work with my hands so my fingers are never in the best shape, I get that. I get my nails done only for special events. But for the first time I had a pretty disappointing experience. first off, I booked online for the first time and requested the man I usually get (I have had wonderful experiences of his son running up and asking math questions, like, how cute is that adorableness) and he always just absolutely kills it. I got seated twice with two different people I didn't request. Pretty much zero interaction, it felt like I walked in on maybe a bad day? not everyone bats a 100, right? used different colored nail tips, and never asked me to wash my hands, I really wanted my nail color to be specific. Usually the nail technician will work with you on what colour your want, nope. I felt so rushed, with zero input. I just felt ike I walked into a completely different salon than I did 8 months ago. Like.. I wasn't wanted there? But, I digress, The nail tips are not the same length, they are bumpy, and the nail polish is streaked. But i have a steady hand and can give myself and almost passable manicure, It looks exactly like that. But again I need to reiderate, i have had about 30+ great experiences at this place. So I don't know, I'm hoping its a fluke, but I don't have 75 dollars to be dissapointed again... Im going to be an off costumer from now on. But I do hope the best for this business, there are some really incredible artists and workers there, I am just incredibly disappointed by this particular incident. Sorry.
