I have been seeing Karla for eyebrow tinting and waxing for almost 2 years now. She brought them to life! She has a fantastic eye for picking the right color, and truely gives the best shape. She was recommended to me, and I have used her ever since. I have recommended her to others who have also turned into life long customers. She will not dissapoint. She is the sweetest person, and I look forward to the time we have together. She takes her time, listens to what you want, and the product is some seriously fierce eyebrows. She is definitely the best I have ever used. I also used her for my makeup for our wedding, and engagement photos. She was incredible. She gave me a natural look where you could tell I was wearing make up, but it wasn't too much. I still looked like myself. I recieved so many compliments. Some of the bridesmaids were more comfortable wearing makeup, and had a more dramatic look. She also nailed that. Several people that attended the wedding have asked who we used so they could explore her for their weddings. Karla is a true artist, and I have been so happy and grateful to have used her for so many important milestones and events. I will continue to use her and trust her and enjoy her company. read more

I see Jill at Butter Mission for pedicures and other services she provides. She is excellent. Stephanie does fabulous blow outs for me. Emily at reception is always so pleasant to deal with. I have been coming to Butter Mission for years and have never been disappointed. read more

Jill is amazing. friendly and accommodating. professional too. I have been seen her for all my beauty needs for years. I highly recommend her. read more

When I am in Calgary for work, I will often come here for my lashes, blowout and nails if I can book all 3 services back to back. I think the girls are all very nice, fun and good at what they do. Once I even had my makeup done, everything was wonderful. read more

Went to the mission location and was very impressed by the parlour's decor/set up; however, it was quite pricey (my pedicure and manicure with gloss polish came to $155.00!!) There was also a bit of a cliquey vibe amongst the staff that kind of made me feel like I was back in high school. (Needless to say it was an expensive blast from past!) That being said, if you're looking to treat yourself (& can afford to pay top dollar for top quality services) Butter is the place to go! (Oh, and they have the best Instagram page!) read more

My first time here was for a blowout with Kallie, she did an excellent job! I have long curly hair and she made it look beautiful with smooth flowing big curls. The space is also amazing, very modern and trendy. Great value for the service as well. I would definitely come here again and I'm looking forward to my next visit in the future! read more

I've been to Butter several times to get a blowout and generally had a good experience. For $37, you can't beat the price. I like the space that Butter occupies and there are different stations for hair, mani/pedis and makeup application. My most recent experience was a blowout to get myself ready for a Christmas party. My stylist was 20 minutes late for my appointment. I know this happens but I was already short on time. She explained that her previous client was unhappy with her updo and asked for it to be changed - thus the delay. As for my hair, I told my stylist exactly what I wanted (it wasn't complicated) and she did not deliver and actually rushed through my blowout so presumably she would be on time for her next client. My blowout wasn't anything like I asked and I expressed it to her, but she did not offer to fix it. Because she used a curling iron on my hair, the blowout came up to a whopping $74! This was certainly not explained to me - apparently, whenever "hot tools" such as a curling iron are used, the price doubles! For the price and the quality, I could've gotten a much better blowout (and a haircut too!) at a proper salon. Never again! read more

I'm addicted to Butter! By far one of the premier places in the city to get beautified. I've gotten fabulous blow outs and up dos done before events. At about $40 per hairstyle, it's extremely reasonable! I've also had pedis, false lashes, and my regular colour gloss (like Shellac) manis. They also do facials, waxing, and make up. Not only is the atmosphere amazing (think spa meets garage chic), but the staff here is top-notch, friendly, and fabulous. The nail bar is a great place to meet new people and hear about some goings-on around Calgary. Bring a friend for a pedi and share a love seat, while they paint your toes. A quick special thank you to Cassandra for all the fabulous nail art she's done for me lately. She's my go to girl for manis, and I definitely challenge her drawing skills (with nail polish!) and she always exceeds my expectations. I'd recommend booking with her while you can! read more

This place is great. Efficient and well-priced, I will be going back! It feels clean and trendy, and I was quite happy with my services. They sell lovely products - Bumble and Bumble hair care (no shock as Hedkandi owns Butter), and a few other lines including lovely candles that I was quite tempted by (next time!). Like Hedkandi, Butter offers online booking, which I love. The place is a little bit hard to find - it shares the building with WURST, and they don't yet have their signage up! read more

I had a great first experience at Butter Beauty Parlour. A very fun afternoon of pampering! I had a gel gloss pedicure and my hair styled. The pedicure has lasted for almost a month and I'm very happy with it. I'm pretty particular about how my hair is styled - the stylist did a good job, but I felt put too many products in my hair. It's very thick, so if it's weighed down with product, the style will fall out...which it did and I had to fix at home. I enjoyed the pedicure so much that I've already booked a spa afternoon with co-workers. With the 5 pedicure stations and 4 manicure stations, it's a great place to book a girls' day for a birthday party, stagette, or just because! read more

I love love love getting my hair done, I usually get a blow out about once a month and any time I am visiting a city I google the nearest place to get a blow dry, needless to say I am a bit of an addict. Most places have no issue with doing my hair, I know drybar in LA offers champagne, blow in new york has fun staff with a chic atmosphere. Anyways, its Butter I am supposed to be talking about. When they first opened I was pretty impressed with their service, probably because they were trying to establish themselves and gain a customer base, from the constant flow of people in there it seems they have been successful in doing so, but their service has taken a hit. Many of their stylists are rude and get frustrated if you're hair isn't being "cooperative", I mean whose is. Last time I was there, we had a group of 8 girls, the curls in my hair were still in an hour later, but I had lost the volume. The other 7 girls had to breakout their curling irons prior to the event and redo their entire hair. Four of the girls actually cried afterwards because the stylists were so rude and actually talking to each other about the hair, I mean its hair people you should be used to it! I think the staff have become very pretentious, I had a request last time I wanted to take a group there i.e. can I bring some snacks because we were going to go on a WEDNESDAY morning prior to leaving for a girls trip that weekend. The lady on the phone got frustrated and told me if I didn't want the appointments someone else would take them. All in all, I am not a fan of pretentious places especially when they have a suboptimal product. Needless to say I will not be returning to Butter. There are other places in Calgary with similar or lower prices to get your hair done where you don't have to deal with the the attitude. This is supposed to be a treat after all. read more

Once again Butter worked their magic! After getting my hair literally hacked off at Distilled Beauty Bar, I didn't think Butter could do anything with it for my annual Christmas party. Trust me...I warned them when I made the appointment. They allowed for extra time and assigned me to Sara She was a bit shocked at the cut I received a couple months ago. We discussed and looked at a few pics on the iPad. After looking at my outfit and getting a feel for what will work, she went to work. She nailed it with a messy, sexy, updo with a couple of fishtail braids and a low, off to the side knot!!! It looked fab with the shape of my face, it hid the hack job perfectly. Most importantly, I felt amazing! Let's not forget to give a shout out to Karla! She's been doing my makeup for my Christmas party or any occasion for the last four years! She makes me looks gorgeous! If I want to do something different, she does her all to deliver. If its too cray, cray, she'll tell you no...but a polite no. I'm self-conscious about my eyelids...again she enhances and beautifies what I think are my flaws. Butter Beauty is a definite go to for any occasion! Not only for the price, but for amazing artists who definitely listen and take care of you! read more

I went to Butter for the first time last night for a manicure, and it was great! Super cute inside with comfy chairs and great decor - i was happy to see they sell some awesome candles - i know where i'll be getting everyone's Christmas presents this year! Claudette was my esthetician, and she was super nice. Helped me pick a great colour, and the manicure was quick and came out perfectly! I can't wait to go back for next one! read more

Getting my nails done again by Claudette, she's amazing!!! My nails last forever it's been at least a month and they still look shiny fresh. I had to come because of the regrowth!!! read more

Love Butter, and how fresh my nails look after seeing Donna. She's the best, and takes her time to make sure my nails look perfect.

Karla is amazing! If you're looking for perfect brows, she is your girl. Not only is she so talented at brow shaping, she is also an all around wonderful person and I look forward to my appointments with her. read more

Great place to get waxed! Cassandra gives what is easily among the most capable and thorough waxes I've ever had. Nice atmosphere and I'm highly satisfied with the results. I'll definitely continue to go here and love being able to book online. read more

Wow. I love Butter! Tessa is my go-to-girl for all my hair wants, needs, and dreams. Not only is she a hair magician in creating exactly what I want, but also an amazing teacher with helping me recreate my look. I get more product knowledge from that girl than I know what to do with! Im already looking forward to my next visit, see you soon girls! read more

Second visit at Butter and not quite as taken as I was the first time but will likely give it another try. The service this time was very good just as it was the first time. Very friendly and professional service and I appreciated the recommendation on polish colour. The facility is clean, new tools used and the file/buffer are only used on you and you get the option of keeping them. They also do blowouts and some other esthetics but I'm pretty attached to my brow gal and I have short hair so no blowouts for me. I've held back a star for one reasons. On the couch at reception was covered in muffin crumbs and also had a paper bag with a partially eaten muffin left in it. Not sure how long it was left there but it wouldn't take much to have cleaned it up and we actually had to point it out to get it cleared away. read more

I have visited Butter on six different occassions so my review comes after a giving Butter a fair shot. I have had two blow outs, two manicures, a pedicure and an brow wax. While I have been generally happy with the service, I find the staff EXTREMELY RUDE and entitled. Their disregard for customer service comes through in their chatter at the front while clients are waiting to be helped. When I arrived for my last two appointments, they told me I was an hour late, even though their email confirmation (and my own calendar placeholder) showed I was on time. There was no apology but only a reminder that I need to abide by my appointment times!! I finally had to show them their own confirmation email to confirm that I was in fact on time. My pedicure, like several other girls have commented on, was PAINFUL!! My girlfriend and I had booked appointments side by side. My appointment started 20 min, the esthetican cut me so I was bleeding and I finished 10 min before my girlfriend. But thankfully the esthetican made it to the stampede party she was already late for. read more

I've had some great pedicures here, and some not so great. I'd give this place a 5 out of 5 if it were more consistent. Otherwise, a good location, friendly staff, nice ambience. read more

If you need someone to save your eyebrows, visit Karla here, she is excellent. She also spends the time to teach you how to pencil them in and make them look amazing. read more

My new go to nail salon. All of the staff are always welcoming and friendly. Love being offered a tea, coffee or pop each time I arrive, and love the modern decor. Robyn dies an amazing job every time! read more

I am very disappointed with Butter.I went there for trial run prior to my son's wedding, well it turned out to be 5 tries and 3 stylists later and still my hair was a mess. I showed them pictures and everything was yes we can do that, but no they could not.I have very long and curly hair, when they put product in it ( a lot of product ) my hair did not last.I was told by the first stylist that the back looked great, yes it did for the hour, but I told her pictures are taken from the front. The price was reasonable for the first 3 tries ( $38.95) and yes I had to pay for all even though they could not style my hair. The day before the wedding they charged a fortune ($ 110.00 ) and the day off the wedding the price was crazy ($ 210.00). The day of the wedding the whole wedding party was there (that is the only reason I went )and at the end my hair was taking soooo long to do that my bride to be had to finish it.. What a shame that these people do not take more styling classes to deal with all kind of hair types. My stylist told me the bangs were to long and she did not have scissors to cut them, I did not want them cut just styled. No one there was able to offer any help, they certainly do not work as a team and help each other out. My make up girl was very good! read more

All the girls are amazing, but Sally is great at nail art! Love the atmosphere. read more

Love Butter! I have received great pedicures here. The staff are professional and friendly and they take lots of time and care when doing nails. I have had friends get blow outs here also and although I haven't been yet, I have heard rave reviews! read more

Nothing wrong with this salon (and it is beautiful inside) I was just surprised by how basic the treatment is for how much you pay. I usually go to a nail salon downtown, and it is around 40.00 for a basic shellac manicure. I went to butter to treat myself thinking it would be a more comprehensive experience. However it was the exact same basic shellac manicure as I always get but double the cost. I guess you pay for the atmosphere more than anything else. read more

The decor is impressive. Great service. I am very happy with my pedi and medi. Mila did a lovely job, and she gives an awesome foot massage, too. read more

The service was passable at best, and the knowledge base behind the girl who did my manicure and pedicure was limited at its greatest. The décor made me want to vomit. Overall would recommend this to friends or family, i've been to what some people would consider chop shops and received a higher standard of care. read more

I really like to get my hair done there - the girls do a great job! However, i got a manicure and pedicure done there the day before my friends wedding. Well, the nailpolish chipped 4 hours after the manicure, and unfortunately i had no time to go and re-do it. Also, the girl didnt do a very good job on my eye-brows, so NO, i will nto be going back there for a mani-pedi, or any wax treatments. read more

Just had my first wax at Butter salon. I really liked the look of the place so was excited to go. The first receptionist I met was great really warm welcome, and the girl who did my service, Zoe was friendly. I explained to her what I wanted, which is a specific and small area, basicly under crotch and behind! she did it okay, Ive had better. It was more painful than most other times ive had it done and felt longer. although I like shabby chic the treatment room was dirty. like it hadnt been cleaned overnight. There were random eyelash extensions everywhere on the towels and sheets which I could forgive in a lower priced place at the end of a busy day. the sheet she on the bed had loads of stains on it, one looked like a coffee ring?. Its just wasn't clean enough. Afterwards my friend decided to get an eyebrow wax, the same girl did it . Again she was great to talk to but she didn't do a very thorough job, afterwards we noticed alot of random hairs which should have been tweezed. It looked a bit half finished. He recieved $10 off for my referring him, and thats good because he paid $11, which befits the level of service he recieved. Full price is $21. I was charged a for a bikini wax which I never actually had, my esthetician told the receptionist that I did not have a proper wax, just a small area and the second receptionist said thats the price for a bikini wax. I thought she would have offered me the $16 miscellanous wax (which is printed on the price list) but she didn't. She had a bit of an attitude when I asked her about it too. Overall I'd say I was dissapointed with my negative experience. I think this place looks great, but its a little style over substance. I could have been over charged someplace else, with slightly less dressy surroundings and still have left happier. read more

Extremely disappointed with the service at Butter. And I have many friends who have also experienced extremely rude treatment from staff. During my last appointment a large amount of my hair was burnt off by the stylist who was blowing out my hair. She didn't say anything and tried to pretend it didn't happen. I have since had to cut all of my hair short to even things out. Unfortunate that due to their essential monopoly on blowout salons in Calgary, they are able to provide such sub-par service to their clients. Avoid at all costs. read more

People were friendly and nice and I do heavily appreciate that. However, l had my brows done after 2 months of growth hoping to get a nice shape to grow towards. Ripped my skin off during the waxing and now i've got scabbing all underneath my brow line and overtop on my left eye as well. They were burning and red for 2+ days with bruising getting worse everyday. What the hell. Uneven and going in different directions and obviously different lengths. They offered to fix it in a month "if they can" but I mean doesn't do me any good now. Do your research about who you go see. Seriously. Or just go somewhere that has consistent services. Drove back all the way from the south the next day to be told "they're too thin now" Didn't offer me my money back or anything besides "we'll do our best in the new year" For no charge, which is nice, but CLEARLY inconsistencies in their quality of service and especially for the price which is ridiculously high for not damaging your clientele's face. Super unhappy and annoyed. Left covering my forehead because I was so embarassed and upset. I've had them waxed before and NEVER had this poor of a result. read more

Disappointing. I went for a birthday pedicure with two friends and found the staff very unfriendly and it made the experience uncomfortable. We had the last appointment for the day at 5pm and they close at 6. When we went to pay at 6:05 the staff had their coats and were waiting to go. We waited about 5minutes before the person at the till even acknowledged us... Which was odd if they were in such a rush to go.? During the pedicure The staff offered no drinks not even water... No magazines and were rude. Not going back until customer service improves which is too bad because decor is beautiful. Pretty place but not pretty service. read more

Manicure lasted over ten days (color gloss) and the pedi even longer of course! The decor is top notch, and the staff very friendly. I love how comfortable the seating is. Their selection of hair products is awesome! read more

The staff was wonderful however I got the gloss nail polish and not even a week after it was peeling off (in reality it was actually 3 days). I do not work laboriously with my hands so I cannot understand paying $60+ for a manicure that should last for at least one week to come off so easily (which I think one week is a reasonable amount of time, and given that it is more of a shellac, it should last much longer). Very disappointed. The price was surely not worth the product received. read more

I went to Butter for a pedicure. The location,decor and layout are great but the pedicure was horrible. Not worth the price at all. It was a Friday evening and I think the pedicurist just wanted to go home. She did the bare minimum and really I could have done it all at home for free. The next day my feet looked as if I had never had a pedicure. She didn't do a topcoat so the polish didn't look very good in less than a week. Such a waste of time and money. I would never go back. read more

I went to butter to get my hair done for a bachelorette day/night. The girl had a hard time working with my frizzy ,thick, curly hair. By the end of the apt my hair looked okay, nothing special. I could have done something better at home myself. Before we went out for the night I had to add more curls into my hair. Blow-outs aren't worth it. The place was decorated very cute though. read more

I went to Butter just before vacation and was left disappointed. I had some waxing and the room where the service took place was dirty, there was wax on the walls, on the floor which I stood in and the bed linen seemed dirty and grubby. The service itself was ok not the best and the wax did feel a bit hot. The décor is really nice and modern but looks like it could do with a good cleaning. read more

I recently moved to the area and thought I'd stop by to grab a little info and book an appointment. there were 3 ladies sitting at the front (chatting about personal matters) who completely ignored me, then I ask if I could get some information it seemed like it was then end of the world. 2 of the ladies just stared at me and rolled their eyes while they other was extremely rude. I wast even there for 5 mins before I decided to take my business somewhere else. I look extremely young and due to the fact I was running errands I was wearing yoga pants and a sweater, this doesn't give anyone a reason to treat someone like a piece of crap. I am truly insulted as I was looking for a regular salon to continue treatments which I book on a monthly basis. Yes the spa is beautiful, clean and have many products that I use and would purchase BUT due to the attitude of the staff I will never set foot in this place again and will highly recommend any of my clients, staff and friends to avoid this spa. First impression are very important and unfortuanitly the front desk today Friday May 1 represented this company in the most terrible way. I hope that the attitude of the staff in this location improves it would be for the best interest of the company. read more
