I have been to Gastown Tattoo many times over the past several years for laser removal, and I have…read morehad one tattoo done here. Laser: Cleo, who does the laser removal here, is so nice and friendly. She knows what she's doing, and she made a very painful experience for me a little easier. I would always look forward to seeing her and having a little chat. I appreciated her knowledge and expertise when it came to having my tattoo removed. Tattoo: There is a vibe here that I find a bit off-putting. Sometimes the people at the front desk have been courteous, but often aloof to the point of unfriendly. I feel quite unwelcome in the space, and the artist who did a matching tattoo for my friend and me really didn't seem to want to be doing it (we had asked and made sure he was ok with it, and he agreed). I would come back her for laser removal, but not tattooing (unless there was a specific artist who I wanted to see).

Been coming to see Amanda for a few years now. Gone to a…read morefew artists before, but didn't get along as well as I'd like. Pros: - Amanda's a gem: honest, funny and fun personable. Need to talk to be able to talk to someone when you're laid out for a few hours in pain. - bit of a wait for bookings, I waited four and a half weeks between consult to ink time. - a good job coordinating and multiple reminders. - super clean studio FYI: - parking is brutal in gastown. I park at Tinseltown and go over sometimes (if tat is under two hrs), but super easy to just transit - shop sits on a one way street, if driving - be prepared to pay a deposit aft the consult ($100 usually)

I experienced serious side effects after receiving Botox treatment at this clinic,which was…read moreadministered by a registered nurse.These including fever,inability to properly open my eyes,forehead heaviness,difficulty chewing,severe headaches,and uneven,bumpy results in the treated areas. These symptoms lasted for over 7 weeks and significantly affected my daily functioning,and I am still experiencing ongoing headaches. The clinic manager initially promised a refund,but later refused unless I signed a document restricting my ability to share my experience publicly,including reviews and social media. The document included a clause stating that I could be required to pay a substantial financial penalty per breach if I shared my experience. This was very concerning and disappointing.

This aesthethics centre is the sister of Vancouver Laser and Skin Centre on West Broadway. I'm so…read morehappy we now have one in Burnaby. So close to home. I purchased several treatments during their 11/11 promo for members. You can get 30% off or 40% off depending on the services you purchase. Non-members get 25% off on promotional treatments. Botox are $8/unit if done by a Registered Nurse. I recommend Lydia for botox. I have been a client at VLSC since 2012 but this is my first time in the Burnaby centre. I went for Hydrafacial with JLo boost. Harmen was the aesthetician assigned to me. She did a great job. She enumerated every step of the hydrafacial and explained the benefits of each one. This centre is very pleasing to the eyes and service is very efficient. I highly recommend.

My husband and myself got Vitamin Therapy IV and injection a few years ago. Before going to the…read moreclinic, I was already in contact with Terry on Instagram. I appreciate the ease of communication and how knowledgeable Terry is. He's very honest and will give you all the information you need. Today, January 25,2022, I did the Scarlet RF. I was supposed to do this procedure last year but had to hold off because of personal reason. I've already did consult last year but Terry wanted to do another one to make sure all my concerns and questions are addressed. I used to go to a different skin clinic before. Unfortunately, the other clinic has gone too busy and too commercialized. The personal touch is gone in my opinion. One thing I like about The One Skin is how they make you feel they care about you. Terry is very kind and you can feel his sincerity. The whole procedure took almost 3 hours including post care. I'm not going to lie. The procedure is painful but tolerable. The numbing cream really helped. The package I bought includes 3 sessions of Scarlet RF, 3 post procedure care and 3 peeling treatments done 2 weeks after SRF. It's just my first session and I feel very good. I will update this review once I completed the 3 sessions. So far so good!

I was really impressed with this clinic, it's quite beautiful and really peaceful when you walk…read moreinside. The consultation process was nice, they took their time when assessing my skin and asked me what my concerns and goals were which was great. You can tell that they have experience, and have a lot of skin knowledge. I did a hydrofacial to clear my congested skin, and a carbon laser peel after that (my first time for laser skincare). Because laser causes redness and damage to the skin, they provide a free "postcare treatment" where they cool down the skin with gels, serums, and a mister while you relax, that was a nice touch. I look amazing, my pores are smaller, my skin is really radiant and even, and there is this noticeable glow. Most importantly my visible acne and redness are reduced as well. I am really happy. I wanted to come back to do some Botox, so I spoke with the doctor while I was there. She was informative, gentle, and professional. I am excited to come back. - And they have everything here: They have laser, IPL, micro-needling, PRP, hair-removal, tattoo-removal, etc. This was so nice to find in Burnaby. I would highly recommend it, even if it means coming from Vancouver.

She has a waitlist channel on Instagram that I follow, and as soon as the booking form opened, I submitted it. At the time, I wasn't completely sure what I wanted, so I gave a vague description of my idea. When I arrived for my appointment, she showed me her design, which was very similar to the references I had provided. However, it wasn't quite what I truly wanted deep down, and she could tell. She asked me more questions and showed me drafts, inspirations, and additional references. Once she fully understood what I wanted, she created a new design. Shiyu was incredibly kind, patient, and skilled throughout the process. She made sure the placement was perfect and that I wouldn't have any regrets. The result was amazing--I was extremely satisfied. The price point was also very fair. I would 100% recommend her if you're looking for a Japanese-style tattoo.

Life sized body art paintings are canvassed on the walls... all created by Jeff Tam. He is the…read moremastermind behind this already popular tattoo parlour. He's worked for Art at (the infamous) Funhouse for many years before leaving to make his own (ink)print in the tattoo world. Travelling for years in Japan and across Europe to learn and practice with some of the greatest. When I met Jeff for the first time, it was an instant connection. I loved his groovy reggae tunes blasting from his ipod, his very chill and relaxed demeanour and his humbleness of what fantastic work he is capable of doing. His store is immaculate, décor asian inspired. I already had my left shoulder done with a dragon and wanted to give it a 'companion' by tattooing a lion on the opposite side of my back. I explained to him the meaning behind my choice and then he was off. Throwing out ideas and how and what it should look like. Everything he suggested I loved so I gave him full artistic reins of what he wanted to do. Best decision I made...just look at the photo I post up. It was his idea to add the clouds and moon around the dragon and have the lion climbing up out of the flower onto the rock towards the sky to clearly distinct the difference between land and air creature. It took 3 different sessions...and probably a total of 5-6 hours of work done. I chose to stay with the black and grey shades but his colored tattoos are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. One of the things about Jeff that makes me respect him so much as an artist, is that he has no problem refusing clients and sending them on their way if they come in with a silly request like a "winne the pooh" tattoo or is getting something done for the sake of it. I asked him why, and he says its because he is an artist and as an artist, doesn't want to have his work on somebody's body that doesn't have meaning or represent what he wants to put out there.. he also takes whatever 'idea' or picture of what someone wants, and adds his own 'spin' to it...basically making it his own. Don't worry people, whatever he touches, will turn out to be a masterpiece.

My ear-piercing experience with Adrenaline seemed fine, meaning staff were friendly and helpful,…read moreand didn't treat me like I was in the wrong place simply because I'm a senior citizen. My granddaughter also felt her experience there was fine. We both had earlobe piercings but at different times. Well, all WAS fine until we tried to remove the studs. We were both told to leave them in for 6 or 8 weeks (can't recall) but I waited another couple of weeks just to be safe. One stud came out fine but the other one seemed to be caught somehow. It was really painful and my ear bled when I tried to remove the stud. I left it in but felt alarmed that even though I'd left it for two extra weeks it was still raw and bloody. Every time I tried to remove it the pain was intense and there was still blood. Weirdly enough, my granddaughter had a very similar experience with hers. One came out fine, but one "caught", hurt, and bled. We left them in longer and kept hoping they would heal and be fine. I finally got mine out without it bleeding, but it was very difficult to put in an earring. It just felt blocked or not completely pierced. It was painful and uncomfortable. Same experience for my gdaughter. She also couldn't put in earrings without feeling blocked and hurting in one earlobe. I gave up trying to use that piercing because it hurt too much and still bled a little. I went back to Adrenaline and told the female at the front counter about our unsatisfactory and painful experience. There was no sympathy or apology or any apparent interest. She just told me we could have them redone for $75 each, which was 50% MORE than we'd paid in the first place! I would think a reputable, established shop (which I thought Adrenaline was) would offer a redo, at least on the affected ears, but she barely looked at me, just offered to book us in, again, for more money than we'd already paid! No doubt they would just try to blame us, say we did something wrong, took the studs out too soon... or I don't know what. They certainly showed no interest in finding out what had gone wrong or how it happened that two clients had the same painful experience and were unable to wear their pierced earrings after paying to have their ears pierced! I don't get it. Maybe they just don't care about the service they provide and their customers. Too bad. Adrenaline is very conveniently located for us but now we are looking for ANOTHER piercing place to get our earlobes pierced yet again, spending more money, when we should be happy with our Adrenaline piercings and experience. I cannot recommend Adrenaline, based on our unhappy outcomes.
