Location: Yonge and sheppard Everything happened super fast as I walked in. Took pictures very quickly of my "before" lips Then I went into the room, sat in the chair with numbing cream- signed some papers and looked at the pix that were just taken of me. I told them how I wanted to even my symmetry + add volume. I believe the girl who injected me might have been training at the time because she had an oriental girl by her side advising her what to do when needed. My injector was SO gentle did not hurt AT ALL, very little talking (she had a bit of an accent).. but made me feel super comfortable. I had absolutely 0 bruising, I did exactly what I was told to to. Ice the area and drink lots of liquid. Swelling went down within 5 days I would say and my lips looked so good! I did notice however one side was a tad bit fuller than the other, prob cuz my lips were never balanced to begin with. I contacted the owner & got in 3 weeks after my first appt to do a touch up, free of charge. Love this place! Would def recommend to anyone. Make it known to the injector of exactly what you want to achieve, show pix, and communicate as much as you can. Cant wait to go back again! read more

I wasn't going to write this review but I'm disgusted by how they're treating me as a post op patient after seeing Julia for lip injections and getting botched. I don't understand when people write reviews about this is the "best clinic" in Toronto ... it is not. It's mediocre and you pay way too much for botched results. Don't let Instagram fool you. If you like overfilled migrated / Homer Simpson / moustache filler lips..: then this is the place for you. They have an intention to take as much money from you as they possibly can without taking in what's actually better for your personal facial anatomy.. Went here couple years ago for my first ever lip injection with Julia. Good results with 0.5ml back in 2016 so naturally when I dissolved my lips during COVID, I wanted to start fresh so I went back in 2022 to see Julia again and I'm shocked at her technique. Right away after the appointment after 1ML I knew something was wrong. My entire upper lip was overfilled and already had the appearance of migration because she didn't inject properly into my lip and I was left with a filler moustache; Especially when smiling. My lips resembled Homer Simpson with a sausage filled upper lip moustache. ... I was told it was swelling , I'm not new to fillers but I have never walked out of any clinic looking the way I did and paying the amount I did for Teoysal. I was expecting amazing results... so I Waited few days but I was embarrassed about how I looked. I was afraid to smile because I look botched. I still waited 2 weeks to see if it in fact was "swelling" but it didn't get better in fact my vermillion border is compromised and my lips are really ruined... I decided to contact the JKA clinic / Julia and ask for dissolving in upper lip. Went into to get my upper lip dissolved and Julia tried to be professional but instead she had attitude of why I wanted it dissolved. I told her It's My face I don't like the results (I don't understand how an injecting professional wouldnt see the problem with my botched upper lip). She made me feel very uncomfortable and never experienced such hostility from an injector before. The dissolving was mediocre and barely noticed a difference as well. Tried to contact them again for a second dissolving and now they're ignoring my calls and texts and respond with "we're too busy we'll call you when we have an appointment" .. texted off another number asking for a 1ML lip injection by Julia AND OF COURSE THEY HAD AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY SAME WEEK. I went to a different more professional clinic I've been to before (they just get booked up a lot and hard to get spots but got put on a wait list) and paid to have my upper lip properly dissolved TWICE and they noticed the migration / over filled filler in my upper lip RIGHT AWAY without me even pointing it out. They told me my vermillion border was ruined because my lips weren't injected properly and the filler softened up my border to the point where I have to now carefully get smaller amount of lip injections to build my border up again... I know this review was long but it was needed. A lot of people don't speak up after getting bad injections and stay quiet. I talked about JKA to other girlfriends and they were all on the same page. Instagram makes results look great, but in the results they're never smiling or you would see the overfilled product and they rather overfill than do what's best. I've had 1ML many times without any problems I just took Covid to dissolve and start new but having these results especially on fresh dissolved lips and then getting treated with hostility afterwards really irritated me of how unprofessional they really are after wasting almost 700$. And then plus 300$ extra for dissolving my lips in another clinic read more

See all

This place is exactly what's wrong with the beauty industry. A bunch of under qualified nurses are running the place and they don't have a single doctor on site so if something goes wrong it's on you because they can't even give you a prescription. Instagram pictures don't actually amount to how the results look in real life, and most people leaving the place look hideous. The owner Julia doesn't take any criticism and actually admitted to me she thinks all bad reviews are written by competitors because "they're out to get you". Yes the prices are cheap but you get what you pay for. The results are just disappointing read more

A month ago I visited this place to get .5ml of Teosyal kiss. A good friend of mine does this exact amount/product and recommended I get my lip fillers done here and do the same. I am ***extremely*** scared of needles and this was my first time doing any sort of treatment like this. I saw Leslie and she was phenomenal! Other places I consulted with told me I "wouldn't feel anything" 0 down time etc. This is not true and Leslie was very direct and very honest me, letting me know I would bruise, and I would indeed feel the needles and they hurt! One of the receptionists held my hand (at my 3 year old request lol) and yes it hurt but it wasn't as bad as I built it up to be. A couple weeks later and my lips didn't look much different than before, when I did more research I found that .5ml really isn't that much at all (Leslie did notify me of this). I booked a second appt to get a small bump dissolved, which Leslie did with a very tiny insulin needle. I THEN booked another appt for a few days ago and I got an additional .7ml of RHA3 injected. I love the RHA3 much more than the kiss. I found I have less bruising and less swelling with the RHA3. I do wish I got a full syringe this time, as it can get quite expensive going back, but next time I come back (there will be a next time) I will definitely be getting a full syringe and the RHA3. I recommend visiting this place if you'd like to get your fillers done, and I highly recommend Leslie. Her energy is great, she keeps it real, and my lips look really nice!! Last but not least, the mini lip plump only makes very very tiny difference in volume, so I'd recommend getting a .7ml (of course depending on what you're trying to achieve). read more

I would 10000% put 0 stars if I could. Here was my entire experience of the process: - Had to book an appointment through text (a little sketchy, but I complied). The day of my appointment at 8 AM, I received a text saying that I needed to confirm the appt by 2 PM even though I had already done so when I scheduled it. I continued to receive 4 more passive aggressive texts until 11 AM where I was told it was my last chance to confirm. What the hell happened to 2 PM..? - 15 minutes before my appointment, I received a text that just said "ETA ?". What legitimate business actually does this BEFORE the actual appt..?! - I arrived 3 minutes late to which I was NOT greeted by a single person. In fact, the male receptionist/assistant did not even say hi to me. I was ONLY hit with a rude "you're late"... meanwhile I had waited at the front for 10 minutes before he even came out. - He took me to a room and told me that the nurse would see me shortly. Mind you, I wasn't even 5 minutes late to this appointment, was scolded for it, but had ended up waiting 1.5 HOURS until I saw the nurse. - While waiting, he gave me a clipboard with forms to sign. On the forms, it clearly says that if you have any questions about the procedure, you should not sign the papers, but instead, ask the nurse prior to doing so (standard protocol). The next time he came in, I asked him for the nurse to ask a couple of questions. He replied, "what do you want?". I insisted on seeing the nurse/not signing the forms until seeing her, to which he came back with an iPad full of pre-recorded videos of someone answering questions (how the hell would I even know if this is even my nurse?). I refused to look at the iPad because I wanted to have questions answered SPECIFIC to MY lips. - At this point, the guy would not stop talking to me in the most belittling way. Listen, I've worked retail & I know when customers can be annoying, but this guy was the WORST & BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT that any company could employ. Sighing, rolling his eyes at me, literally everything that you could think of. - My favourite part: after I declined taking the iPad from him, he ATTEMPTED TO SNATCH THE PEN & CLIPBOARD FROM MY HANDS. As in yes, he did not say a single thing, but instead, had entered my personal space (DURING A FREAKING PANDEMIC), and attempted to grab them from my hands-- LITERALLY WHAT KIND OF A PROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT DOES THIS?! I was literally so mortified that I started laughing. - I then called him out on his unprofessionalism to which he berated me with names. And again.. it was 1.5 hours until I saw the nurse. :) - At the end when I finally saw her, she refused to give me injections as she insisted that I needed to get surgery instead for them. (Mind you, I consulted 4 nurses afterwards to which they disagreed with her statement & I've had lip fillers done). - The end review: this was the absolute worst, most unprofessional experience I've ever had with any establishment & I hope the absolute worst for the receptionist low-life. Please be cautious! read more

Loved this place I'm pretty shocked by some of these bad reviews because I absolutely love my lip injection results. I've gone here twice and quite prefer a natural but full look. My first time was with the owner, she really made me feel so comfortable. My second time was with an asian lady; she wasn't as thorough as the owner but I did like my results. I received their signature Kiss which is .5ml of teosolyl (doubt thats how its spelled lol). Personally I feel doing .5ml and slowly building on top of that product by coming in months later was how I achieved my more natural look. I've only been twice and I feel pretty content and don't wanna over do it. Might go in once a year or even once every two years just for a little touch up but I'm happy with how I look. read more

If you want to have OVERFILLED TUBES in place of you mouth then this is a place for you. They completely ruined my face and later denied their mistakes. Leslie (the nurse) was nice at first but when I pointed out that I don't like the results became very defensive and rude. The owner (Julia) was not helpful at all. On a separate note: once you come in they throw numbing cream on you while you're still waiting in the waiting area with other patients. So if you were hoping for your procedure to be private this place is NOT for you. My advice is to stay away from this butcher shop and go to a reputable clinic with real doctors! read more

I had my lips injected here a few months ago and the results weren't great. I asked for lateral volume and the injector said she couldn't do it without significantly raising the middle part of my lip, which I didn't want. I went to a clinic in the UK and they did it for me without making the middle part higher. I tried JKA because I had nowhere else to go. This clinic uses a terrible technique and make lips look fake. Everyone they inject leaves with hideous duck lips. I wouldn't recommend this clinic at all. If you have the time and money go to L.A. or overseas or try Dr. Naomi in Australia. These people pride themselves on having years of experience but experience doesn't necessary make you a great injector if you don't know proper technique. They overfill lips and because of this the filler leaks into the surrounding tissue. I would stay away from this place if you don't want to look like a cheap stripper read more

My friend recommended this place for lip fillers. I have been twice now to see Leslie and she is a master at what she does! Consultations are thorough and there are many styles and products to choose from. The studio is very clean and all the staff is wonderful and welcoming. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face! read more

Deanna did an amazing job, I love my lips!! Consultation was great and she avoided exactly what I didn't want!! Highly recommend her. read more

I've had Botox / Dysport injected here several times and I'm always happy with the results. Price is great and they do a way better job than other places I've been - including injections by a doctor. I travel far to come here but it's worth the drive. read more

Ive been to Lips Boutique twice now and have always had a great experience. I love the results I have gotten and always feel welcomed by the staff. I feel the prices are fair and the staff is always professional. read more

I went in for a consultation and they put numbing cream on my lips right away, rushing me to sign papers even though i got there 30 mins prior to my appointment. The nurse who was filling my lips had a thick accent and was hard to understand, and didn't even explain to me what she was putting in my lips until i asked. This place was very unprofessional and didn't care for the client. Wont be going back. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with Julia unlike other reviewers. The injections made me look unnatural and I had to go to another clinic to dissolve the filler as Julia couldn't fix it. Another doctor confirmed the injections were done wrong. I obviously won't recommend this place as all they did is take my money and give me an unnatural looking face read more

Today was first day to try this place, Julia was very professional and honest. I definitely recommend her.

Always have good and friendly service along with great results. We have tried different places over the years and find this one to be the best. read more

I'm hoping to help anyone out who is considering Lips Boutique for their fillers. For a bit of background information, I got a full syringe of Teosyal Global, which lasts up to 6 months, in my lips on January 26th, 2018. The price was $500. Pros: - The boutique is very accommodating. I called the day before my appointment and was able to get in. - The staff working at the front desk were friendly. - Nurse showed me the clean needles that she would be using. Cons: - The entire process from the moment you walk in to your procedure is very rushed. You sit with the numbing cream on your lips in a waiting room with other people. It's a bit awkward lol and not very private. Although I had no questions because I heavily researched the procedure, I wasn't asked if I had any. The procedure also wasn't explained to me. - Painful. I recently went to get my lips done elsewhere, and I can't even begin to tell you the difference. The cream was definitely not put on long enough here. I felt every prick. There was way too many entry points. - The healing process was not the best. I could barely eat and talk the first day. My lips were so swollen that it hurt, and some of my large bruises actually turned black. I recently got my lips done elsewhere, and I'm on day 3 with minimal swelling and no bruising. I followed pre and post treatment instructions the same each time. - The inside of my lips had little bumps EVERYWHERE. It felt so weird and not natural when I ran my tongue against them. - Prior to my procedure, I always had very even and full lips, I just wanted them bigger. After, one side of my top lip was a bit bigger than the other. I didn't find it that noticeable myself, so I never reached out to have it corrected. However, for some reason, it became really noticeable once the filler started dissolving. I've heard this is a common problem among clients who have went here. - Although I'm aware that our bodies break down fillers at different rates, my full syringe only lasted until the end of June. I did have a little still in my cupids bow, but that's it. I found that my bottom lip lost the filler much faster than the top, so I really wasn't happy with how my lips looked as the filler gradually dissolved. - Although this isn't about the money because I would have done the treatment regardless, they are expensive ($500+) compared to other nurses who will do an even better job, with a longer lasting filler, at a lower cost. I think this place is a bit overhyped. I'd like to stress the importance of really researching the procedure and who you're going to trust to complete it before. I watched tons of youtube videos and it really helped. Find a nurse who actually cares about you and your needs! read more

This place was horrible I went in for a consultation and right away they threw numbing cream on my face... and the Asian girl who did my fillers pretty much ruined my lips and gave me the opposite of what I wanted. The owner was also not helpful at all and didn't try to resolve the situation. read more

I have had my lips done 3 times prior to going to this lip boutique and have loved the results. The only downside to my previous spot was that it was an hour drive away from me. My friend recommended lips by JKA to me so I decided to give it a try. I went in mid September for my appointment and it all went downhill from there. I was injected by a younger Asian lady, (not the lady my friend is usually injected by), but I was assured she does good work. Truth be told, this lady did an absolutely god awful job on my lips... So much so, I was in tears still in the chair. I asked her my options to get rid of it and she said they can inject the dissolvent to remove the filler. So they did just that, after telling me to stop crying. (Half from the pain, because I was not fully frozen, and half from the awful results.). I looked like a complete duck, and with one look at my face you could tell I had had my lips done. Be assured, I do know what good results look like, as I have had my lips done 3 times prior. Anyways, t IPoday, I just went to my regular lady (the one that is an hour away), to try and fix the job that lips by JKA has done, and my lady told me that by injecting the dissolvent the same day as the filler, they have dissolved part of my ACTUAL LIP TISSUE as well as the filler. So now. I have pockets and lumps in my lips. I truly wish I had never gone to the place. I do no recommend anyone go to this place, and if anyone wants a talented injector referral, I would be more than happy. My original lady has done a very good job at hiding the faulty work lips by JKA has done. NEVER RECOMMENDED! read more

Lips Boutique by J.K.A. - My lips, post filler. I wish there was a before photo. They didn't touch my top lips&bottom looks like a tube is running through it&uneven - Medical Spas Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is nothing but a scam. All they do is post pretty pictures on Instagram to attract clients when in reality the results do NOT look good at all. I was an unfortunate victim of this "boutique". I should've known when I saw that people in the waiting area to leave, but I stayed. My procedure started with sitting in the lobby with a numbing cream on my face which seemed weird because there were other people waiting for their treatment. After that one of the nurses took me to the room (blond lady) to do the treatment. The treatment was painful but tolerable but my lips swell up a bit from the injection. I was given the instructions and left. The next couple of days my lips were swollen but since I was told to wait for at least a week I wasn't worried much. On day 7 the swelling was gone but I noticed that my lips were still very large and uneven. I scheduled a follow up to see the nurse again, where she basically told me they look fine to her and she can't do anything. She got very defensive when I asked her about the treatment I received and basically told me to see a different nurse as she was busy. I decided not to take any chances and scheduled an appointment with a doctor somewhere else. Unfortunately for me the doctor told me the filler was injected wrong and too much was put is some places but not the others, so it had to be dissolved. Since then I tried to contact JKA again to get my money back but received no reply. I don't think places like that should even be open. read more

JKA establishment is by far the best place for ALL your facial needs. Whether it be lips, wrinkles, deficiencies that need extra care to fix- Julia is the best nurse/ injector to help you. She has a gentle and polite bedside manner that puts you at ease. Let's face it (pun intended!) You don't just want anyone handling (something that could easily go wrong -)with someone who has little to no experience! As such, I've known Julia for 7 years - I have not seen anyone else since. Sometimes I go for a visit and she does nothing at all - she won't do any treatment if she thinks it is not necessary. That quality is what everyone, should be looking for in their nurse/ injector -"integrity"! Hands down the very best in the business! Thank you Julia for always giving me the best and most affordable care! read more

Julia is amazing! She took the time out to explain my options and made me feel comfortable. She is not a greedy person! Julia mentioned the half syringe would be enough for me and she was right! I am so pleased with my treatment. I love the look of my lips. They don't look fake, just more plump - exactly what I was looking for. I am planning to go back to her again in the future. She is the best in the business! read more
