Shifeon has a new shop! No longer a dingy little shop wedged in a crack , but a very shiny new…read moreshop! It's still on Robson, between Jervis and Bute. This is where I come for new collection nail polish. They have every possible shade of OPI available! The collections are so quick to update that I can always find the newest collections of OPI there (in stores) before anywhere else. They carry new collections in all the other brands too. Pretty much if you can't find the nail polish/product you want at your local drug store, you can almost definitely find it here! Buy more, and the price comes down per bottle. It starts off at just under $10. With each extra bottle you buy, the price comes down by a $1 per bottle! It's a pretty sweet deal for a nail polish addict - me!!! The staff... I never want to talk to them because they can be so pushy. Although I have no problem saying no, they are relentless! The trick is to tell them you already know what you want. I still browse the shop sometimes out of curiosity. The rest of the stuff are pretty pricey, so I don't buy anything from them, except nail polish!

I never knew there was a Shifeon on Robson until they moved to this bigger location. I agree that…read morethe sales in the store do follow you around but when I told them upfront "I'm just browsing" they were pretty chill with it and backed off. After looking around and I wanted some assistance, I turned around trying to catch someone, I got eye contact right away which was nice (she was standing pretty far too). I don't like pushy sales bc it turns me off and I leave the store but knowing that someone acknowledges my presence w/o feeling pressured to purchase is a gold star. I was looking for something to lighten up my break out marks and the sales, Mandy, recommended me this serum from Green Envee (1st time) and Guinot (2nd time). Both worked like a charm and I how they have lots of different products and brands! Plus a bonus Sanrio corner (my favourite)!! Whether if I make a small purchase, big purchase or even no purchase at all, they gave me lots of free samples to try out! I literally got a routine set sample for both my mom and I w/o dropping a penny down one time! What more can I ask for? Another reason why I return to this store is their buy $50 get $10 coupon (for the following quarter mths). Its a way to do business keeping ur customers but if the prices are the same for some of the brands you can find elsewhere ie. The Bay, Sephora, Murale, etc. why not get it here when u can get a $10 coupon for future purchase, gift with purchase (depending on which brands) and lots of free samples? The Bay offers 10% cosmetics and fragrances from time to time only and gift with purchases (certain times for each brands), Sephora offers points... no gift with purchase and sometimes 10-15% off Sephora days and no samples or rarely... Murale offers optimum points - that's it!

I highly recommend Britanny. Her studio, located in Duncan in the beautiful Cowichan Valley has a…read morewarm, inviting and positive atmosphere. On entering the studio, Brittany's genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming demeanour made me feel immediately at ease. Not knowing what to expect I will positively claim that the results of my tattooed eyebrows superseded my expectations. Brittany, with her awesome artistic skills, professionalism and her meticulous attention to detail corrected one of my brows that was lower than the other and caused me to feel self-conscious for years! Confidence restored!! As far as I am concerned Brittany created a miracle because I didn't think it was possible to correct such a stigma. My brows look amazing. I am awestruck! It has transformed the whole look of my face in a most positive way. I also love knowing that I will no longer waste valuable time pencilling in my eyebrows! Endless thanks, appreciation and gratitude to you, Britanny. You truly are a miracle worker and I look forward to my next visit!

She's very…read moreknowledgeable and has the right combination of the artistic and aesthetic eye with the scientific understanding of this procedure. She ensures you're comfortable, she takes time to consider what shape works well with your features. I'm really happy that my brows are more similar now as I had one that was much lower than the other. She was able to correct this and my face feels more semicircle now. Yay! I just went for a run and bumped into someone, I felt much more confident knowing my brows look great, no need for makeup! I would highly suggest BLB and Brittany if you're considering getting your brows done. She has other services offered and I'm looking forward to returning and getting my lashes permed!

Horrific result in what should have been a very simple case of Chondrodermatitis Nodularis Helicis…read more(CNH) treatment. See posted images. I attended my medical appointment with Dr. Morris at Lion's Gate Hospital. Upon our meeting, I mentioned that my father had the same issue and surgery performed and that he recovered with no change in his physical condition; his ear intact the same after as prior to his surgery. Dr. Morris' only response was a small chuckle and the comment that "You will be a little more aerodynamic when you leave than when you arrived". At no point in time did Dr. Morris consult what the procedure would entail nor indicate he was going to cut a large portion of my ear off, leaving the cartilage protruding out the back side of my ear without flesh nor skin to cover it. Upon my departure from the hospital, Dr. Morris advised me to leave the bandage on for 24 hours after which I could remove it. Dr. Morris provided no further guidance nor medicinal prescription or advice for taking care of the wound post -operation. My situation has only been made significantly worse than when I first visited Dr. Morris. To date the wound remains very sensitive and in constant stinging discomfort due to the exposed cartilage which has no flesh nor skin to cover and protect it. As a Plastic Surgeon, I would have expected the Dr. to want to leave a person in as good or better of condition physically and mentally post operation as prior.

It was the very 1st time of going into Sephora over the years that I actually was given proper help and consideration. Normally from what I've seen if you're over 35 nobody has ANY IDEA of how to help you with skincare or makeup nor do they want to give you any of their time. Way to go Jen! It was a fabulous visit and I'll be back to purchase more of the products you introduced me to!

Horrible experience with management. I went in with my mom to pick up a couple of items. Never…read morereceive help at this Sephora, but that was not a surprise to us. After finding our items, we waited in line to check out. A Sephora worker came over to us in the line and asked if we were paying with a card. We said yes and she instructed us to come with her to the "express checkout". She scanned our items and we had a gift card, so she scanned that as well. We had a remaining balance to pay and I first tried tapping my debit card. It told me transaction cancelled. I thought it was strange but didn't think much of it. She then got my mom to try her card and again the transaction was cancelled. Both my mom and I were very confused at this point. After multiple tries there was no luck. The Sephora worker then calls management over. I never got her name but she was a petite blonde with glasses and bright red lipstick. She was *extremely* dismissive and accused our cards for being the issue. She looked like we were annoying her and that there was something wrong with us. She then instructed us to get back in line ( which now has grown to 15 people). From what could have been an in and out Sephora trip, turned into a disaster. The best part was, once we got to the regular cash desk, our cards worked JUST FINE!

Have you ever heard of this? Instead the reception told me that its was on google maps. Why the attitude? Never got the address. So apparently, this Asian receptionist in a Persian staffed Dr's office didn't want to give the address. When I get there and asked for the reason for not giving the address over the phone she says "somebody's having a bad day". I said I wasn't having a bad day. Then her response was "It's a free country"! What does that mean? This receptionist was very rude. Shouldn't be working there. Poor treatment of patients by one receptionist.
