Its funny that my TRUTHFUL review has caused such a back lash from these new posts when no one had…read moreever mentioned this place before. I guess by that rationale, my 100 other reviews must be bogus too!!! Wow. I feel that I have to defend my review and articulate it in a manner that will be clear that I am NOT out to ruin their business, only to state the facts of what happened to ME. I am very happy to hear that they are doing a better job at providing people with a better level of service than I received, but it does not change my opinion. Sorry. When I initially went in, Shenny quoted me a price and how many treatments I would require during our meet and greet. I was told I would be done my armpits in about 4 sessions and I would probably require another touch up in the interim. I was told to come in at 4-6 week intervals, which I did and that she would monitor my progress. I don't know how someone can monitor progress when they don't do all the treatments, on 2 of the 4 occasions, Nina did my treatments, again fairly quickly. Also, no test patch was ever done to determine the level of heat my skin can tolerate, these levels are known as Joules. I had mentioned my concern to Shenny about the fact that there was minimal hair reduction on my armpits even though she considered me to be an excellent candidate, fair skin with dark hair. After this exchange, was when she told me to start waxing (see my previous post) and that I will require an additional 3-4 sessions to complete the laser treatments which would have cost me, at that time another $300-400. She also suggested that I do a couple of sessions for my upper lip, since her prices were so "reasonable" I declined, somewhat offended as I am not man hairy, I felt it was not appropriate considering her new treatment strategy. Jenny D's filtered review is accurate, but perhaps she is a liar too?! I also was interrogated about other spa's I went to and how much I paid there. They pushed these "Matis" products on me which were insanely expensive but I refused. Also, if you are a visible minority, you don't get any special treatment, this is from my personal experience and in the few times I attended, I noticed she was extra sweet to her caucasian clientele. My friends, some of whom are Arab and East Indian also bailed on her for the same reasons. East Indians have a very tight nit community and what goes around comes around. Shenny and Nina are nice ladies, I agree! I question their ethics and knowledge of the laser industry. Laser hair removal certification is NOT REGULATED by the province of Alberta, in fact most aestheticians are NOT certified and still work in salons, spas and medi-clinics. Almost anyone can attend seminars and receive certificates as long as they pay! Just some food for thought next time you want to have laser hair removal. Many lower end/used/refurbished machines are available on-line and are often purchased or leased by under qualified technicians who want to make fast, easy money, they take a weekend course that teaches them the basics and they set up shop at a salon who will rent them space or perhaps in their basement. This is why you find so many groupon, dealfind, or teambuy coupons on line for these types of establishments! I hope this puts into perspective what I paid for and what I received. I believe that if these other posts are having good results, than great, carry on going there and tell the world, scream it out from the roof tops! But, there is a but, a BIG ONE...I find it hard to believe that the average customer knows for a fact that "Shenny and Neena always use the strongest disinfectant after each client, making sure that there are no transfer of germs or viruses through the use of equipment and supplies." I'm just saying, thats just something the average client doesn't know. Really, you only need one part bleach to 9 parts water to kill bacteria so I can't truthfully say I would know what the strongest disinfectant would do any differently? Perhaps if I was a nurse I would know this? Seriously.

When I first started going to Shenny's she was located in the NE in temple and now moved to her very comfortable home where it feels more like a spa then a tanning salon!.. Which makes me happy I have been plucked, waxed, threaded, and more importantly put my face in here hands.. she has taken the time to professionally treat me as a special goal to make me look my best for my age.. AND I DO.. I look 10-15 years younger then I Did when I first came to see her.!!!!! And that is not an exaggeration!!... You too can look younger if you take the time to take the RIGHT CARE OF YOU FACE... I would NOT HESITATE TO recommend the Professional Service of Shenny and Nina to help you with your Skin Care.. Give her a call you wont be sorry. Another excellent part of her business is the PRICE.! Because she works out of her house she doesnt have all the overhead and can give you the best price you cant get anywhere in the city.. To MAKE a long story short and truthful ... I LOOK GREAT...THANK YOU SHENNY

Only because after the 1st time, the girl didn't work there anymore and I thought I would try someone different at Serene. The service is a lash lift and tint. The results were great the first time, however the last two times, I wasn't overly impressed.I thought maybe it was just the 2nd time or the tech and would try again with someone else, but that didn't help. The girls who did my lashes are nice and friendly, it's the service the 2nd and 3rd time that wasn't great. My lashes I could see that some were missed on the tint (not dyed black) and some lashes, especially outer corner were not lifted, so it did look strange that some were done and the rest not? I paid and left and then examied in my car since the lighting was allot better (the lighting in the rooms are very dim) and noticed some lashes were missed. I was tempted to go back in and mention it but honestly the girls at the front desk weren't overly friendly and didn't want the grief from them since they didn't seem like the customer service driven type. I did wait a few days and went somewhere else to get them re-tinted since they were not able to do a lift till they grew out. I don't think I will give this place a 4th chance since the last two times the service wasn't that great and I wasn't happy with the results, especially since I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed.

Omg !!! I have been trying to get my hair the way I want it for YEARS!!!…read moreI have lots of grey/silver hair with my naturally dark brown hair. I wanted my silver to blend in. I've gotten reddish hI-lights REPEATEDLY. Told my hair just lifts warm. I had a long time, 19+ years, stylist. I changed to a younger funkier stylist. 2x I didn't get what I wanted. I was very sad. I was leaving for holiday in a few weeks and really wanted my hair "did" for it. I asked a friend who she goes to cuz her hair is magnificent, she said Leah was her girl. Leah was booked the friendly receptionist suggested Sam and I could get in the next day. I booked then almost canceled. I was terrified of getting something ugly. I went even though I was so scared. I arrived 20 minutes early. The receptionist greeted me and offered a hot cuppa coffee and shortly after Sam came and got me. I showed him a few, many lol, pics on my Pinterest and he said yes we can do that. Not today but we'll get started. I thought oh great this song and dance again. I've heard this !!! He said I see a icy blonde and get rid of the uneven black... Balance it out. Within 45 minutes I was under the drier and then the sink, waiting for my hair to process and lift. The sink had a foot rest and was THE most comfy wash chair I'd ever been in. Sam explained everything he did along the way. He cut my hair and taught the receptionist how he does layers. He was kind and patient with her. Asking questions about her schooling and being so supportive and enthusiastic about her progress. Sam cut my hair and left it longer than I wanted but it looked AWESOME!!!! He trimmed a tad more, blew it dry then had the receptionist curl my hair. She was so sweet. Talkative and kind. She took me outside to take pics and then cashed me out. Sam came over to wish me well and thank me for my business. I took my own pics and sent them to my hubby and daughter. They both loved my hair and even commented that it's NEVER looked so good. I will most definitely be back and will tell everyone to go there !!!!!

I have been looking for a hairdresser for a couple of years after coming to Calgary. I have asked women on the streets if I thought their cuts were done nicely. Then I would go and check the salons spending lots of money and having one failure after another. Sometimes the I would go to the same place for 2-3 times until they ruin my hair or make a fatal mistake in cutting. And then repeat ad nauseum. Finally I got lucky. I saw a lady with a great haircut, I made a compliment, she said she gets great comments about her hair every time, I got the address and the name. It was early March and I had to wait for two weeks to get an appointment. " He must be popular"- I said to the receptionist. "Oh, yes!"-she said with pride in her voice. Sam is great. He is never pushy. He will ask what you want but I prefer to ask _him_ what is the best for my hair. His salon carries a line of products but he never up-sells. And the products work, too. Life is so much easier when you have a great hair dresser. ;-))
