Tip: Sign up for Beauty Insider. You get a free gift when it's your birth month…read more I was at CF Polo Park earlier this month. I saw this Sephora. I was reminded that July was my birth month and I needed to pick up my free gift. I probably drop by Sephora a couple of times a year. It's usually in July for my gift. I do drop by to browse here and there. My favourite section is by the checkout. There are smaller, almost travel-sized items. I like to try the smaller sizes first. If I like them, I'll get the larger versions next time. If I dislike them, you'll never see me get it again. I am a fan of lip balm. I didn't need any, but I always like to see if there are any new varieties. I do miss Formula X, Sephora's own nail polish. It decided to scrap the line roughly a decade ago. I loved it, as the polish endured and the colours were awesome. It explains why I don't drop by any Sephora store as much as I used to. I found a small bottle of watermelon toner. I love watermelon. I am always using toner. I went ahead and picked up a bottle. At the checkout, I got the nicest woman. She asked for my phone number associated with my Beauty Insider account. She found me and wished me a happy birthday. She asked me when my birthday was. I said that it was tomorrow. She seemed so elated that I came into the store a day before it. She let me know what perks I could get. I ended up getting the Summer Fridays set. The jet lag mask was intriguing. I paid for my toner with a credit card. I tapped and was done. She asked if I needed a bag. I declined, as I had a large one with me from Hot Topic. I thanked her and left the store. I continued to shop before I called it a day. When I got to the hotel, I tried the Summer Fridays lip butter balm. Wow! It glided onto my lips effortlessly. I loved the scent and how buttery it was. My lips felt so good when I woke up after applying the balm before I went to bed. The jet lag mask was cool. I treated it as a moisturizer. You use a thin layer of it on your face. Let it sit there for at least ten minutes and and wipe it off when you apply it for the first time. I didn't experience an allergy reaction, but you could. When you're fine having it on you face, you can leave it on to hydrate it before you go to bed. It's nice. The watermelon toner is excellent. I love the scent. It's effective removing impurities from my face at the end of the day. I have oily skin and I feel that it soothes my face as I use it. I'd get the larger bottle once I'm done with my current one. I loved dropping by for my birthday gift and getting watermelon toner. I'd return again when I'm back at this mall. (263)

It's odd how Winnipeg doesn't have many places for threading. There is way less redness afterward…read morewith threading, it's more precise and most importantly way more hygienic than waxing (no chance of double dipping or reusing wax). I had my eyebrows and upper lip threaded by Anita. She did an ok job. It looked good and there was little redness right after. BUT I do feel ripped off for $35 bucks without tip for like 5 minutes of work. It's not like I was surprised by the amount since I checked the price points online before and threading is a skill. But in Toronto (where I'm from) it's like $5-10 and you never need an appointment because there are so many places and lots of ladies dedicated to threading. I hope this will change for Winnipeg one day. Until then there's tonic.

Actually NO stars, but I need to throw one up for this review…read more Surprisingly poor customer service given the current phase of opening businesses here in Manitoba (COVID pandemic). I booked three haircuts for myself and my two boys. We arrived to mall entrance closures that were not communicated. By the time we parked at the far entrance, I called to inform them we would be late. I was put on hold and only ended the call when rounding the corner in the mall to the salon. There was no line or reason to have been put on hold. I was then informed I needed a mask for myself and boys; $2.00 each. I protested that the salon had not mentioned that when booking. I was told by a gentleman (that I can only guess was the owner) "I'm not paying for 2000 masks!" "Cancel the appointments." I said. The thing to know is I am a Front Line Healthcare Worker with over 30 years experience. I know all about masks and how much the masks being offered cost. Yes, how much they cost. There is a significant markup. Let me be clear: making a profit by selling masks to customers during this pandemic is wrong. So I'll never go back. My regret is not seeing the stylist. He is wonderful with my boys both in doing their hair, and conversation.

I go to Aimy for my hair cuts, and always receive compliments, even from complete strangers. Her advice is to bring pictures of what you 'do' want as well as pictures of what you 'do not' want. She feels, and I agree, that what you don't want is probably more important. Don't expect your stylist to read your mind, and you will never be unhappy with the results. That being said, asking for a consultation prior to your actual cut, gives the stylist a chance to understand your hair and your expectation, so she can discuss it.

If you want to have a flattering haircut, DO NOT GO to Edward Carriere Salon…read more I went to this salon yesterday (April 19, 2021). I saw a Stylist named Caroline, although calling her a stylist is a misnomer. I'm sure she found her licence at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. I told the woman I wanted something short (about 1 inch all over), sassy and it makes me look 30 years younger. She gave me a brush cut. Does Caroline not know the length of 1 inch? If not, why not? The only good thing is that I know my hair grows fast and because of the pandemic I don't have anywhere to go. What really ticked me off is that their machine would not allow me to pay just the amount of the hair cut. I HAD to give a tip. That makes me angry. I would normally give a tip - I just don't like being told I HAVE to give a tip. In this case, Caroline did not deserve a tip. Tips are for people who give good service. She did not. So, for those reasons I will not go back to this salon.

The location is nice, the customer service was outstanding, and the massage itself was very helpful. The therapist I saw made sure that everything was comfortable, gave her recommendations with explanations as to why she was making the recommendations and they made sure to get me out on time for the appointment I had afterwards. The only complaint I have is that you can hear the exercise classes of the gym next door which does take away from the relaxing nature of the experience. However, it is intermittent and you can often avoid it by not going in the early morning or late evening.
