What actually happened: -Used it successfully only three times. -Next three visits (during posted hours) the salon was randomly closed. The first 2 times had no notice. The third time, just a sticky note saying "understaffed, appointments only and to call the Sechelt location. -I called asking what was going on and if I could get a refund or extension since I tried numerous times to use my package. It's only for a month so I only have so much time to use it and when the hours on google are posted as OPEN, I should be able to access the beds. Owner Lauralye replied by email, said I was being aggressive on the phone and banned me. Completely false information. I never even raised my voice so this one threw me for a loop. When I kept asking for my money back, she permanently banned me in the same email thread. They offered a partial refund which was never received. I left a 100% factual 1-star Google review with receipts attached they got it removed/hidden. Now they are leaving themselves fake google review. Laughable. When I kept pushing, they threatened me with legal action and accused me of being "aggressive" (I have every email -- I was nothing but polite the entire time). Zero refund, zero apology. So yeah - they have no problem stealing people's hard-earned money, then threatening to sue you if you dare speak up. I cannot believe I have to go through this for ninety-three freaking dollars that they simply decided to keep. I have my receipt, and the entire email chain (including the ban, the legal threats, the fake "aggressive" accusation, and the deleted review). Happy to privately show everything to anyone who messages me. Please think twice before you hand this place any prepaid money - tanning packages, gift cards, whatever. I've now had to file with Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) and my credit card company for a chargeback. Just posting this so nobody else in Gibsons loses almost $100 and then gets threatened for daring to complain. Sad that it has come to this but I have exhausted every option and tried my best to deal with this privately. Unfortunately I have been pushed too far. It's almost Christmas and these days, every dollar makes a difference. This is my hard earned money after all.

I had a manicure and pedicure done as well as a trim. This was my first time at the salon. I was…read moredisappointed. The person at the front was not particularly attentive. I had to wait a few minutes out front. I was not offered any refreshments. The technician was friendly, but the service I selected did not include all the parts of a manicure, when I asked about it I was informed that the service I chose did not include it, I wasn't offered an upgrade. During filing, I had to point out several areas where the nail had not been completely smoothed out. When I left the salon I noticed that the polish was a bit streaky and thin in some areas. Overall, it was not the pampering spa experience I had looked forward to. It was expensive and I don't think the service matched the price. This is something I had splurged on. The room was painted dark or black and had signs of wear and tear everywhere. The lighting was too bright, and the bed was covered in obviously well-used and worn towels. Music was irritating not relaxing. Next time I will go somewhere else, or wait until I'm in the city where service is better.

First, I want to say that I have loved my botox experiences elsewhere but an experienced and…read moremindful injector makes all the difference. It's a huge risk to get Botox here. Do you want to play Russian roulette with your face? You go to these places to try and feel better about things you'd like to improve or things you feel self conscious about and not only did they make my issues worse, they lacked empathy and were rude because the doctor there was offended that I said that skilled injectors in the past were able to just look at my face and know exactly what was needed whereas, even after seeing several of my previous charts, Dr. Lindsey seemed very unconfident. I regret not leaving. She said they mix botox differently than others so that placement doesn't really matter (???) If that's the case, what's the point of having charts? Then, she proceeded to add way too much botox so, I had a heavy, dropped brow with hooded eyes and a constant headache. She pretended the amount she was using was conservative but I have never had such a heavy forehead and extra hooded eyelids. I looked and felt terrible. I was visiting Abbotsford and I brought in charts from doctors who previously did a good job with a botox "brow lift". I brought a chart of the last place I went that did a bad job and specifically said I was extremely concerned about that happening again. Dr Lindsey proceeded to give me the worst botox of my life. I had insane Jack Nicholson / Spock eyebrows. The middle was frozen to the point of being painful while the end of my eye brows had complete movement. This doctor appears to have no idea what she's doing. I should have trusted my gut when she seemed hesitant. I asked for a refund so that I could at least go somewhere else and try and get the Spock brows fixed without an additional cost for correcting their mistake and the receptionist was extremely unprofessional, combative, and rude. Then they just didn't return my call or emails despite telling me they would. They "don't do refunds" even if they completely mess up your face. When I'm in San Francisco, I go to Nob Hill Medical Aesthetics and they consistently do a good job. The first time I went, the right eyebrow was slightly too high and they had me come in for a few complimentary units to fix it - that's how it's done. I will always go to them for botox when I'm in SF. They way they injected me made me feel refreshed and my eyes were open - it was perfect. The other time I had a horrible botox experience, the MedSpa was apologetic and offered to do what they could to fix it and did the right thing of refunding me for ineffective and poor service. I have since gone back to different injectors there. Meanwhile, MD Cosmetic & Laser will make things worse after they botch your face by implying you're a problem for complaining and then simply ignoring you. Dr. Lindsey claimed to be conservative but injected too much. If for whatever reason you think it's a prudent choice to get Botox here after this review, get half of whatever she suggests - she's more of a salesperson than a doctor. Even hair dressers will tell you if they can't achieve what you're looking for. This doctor doesn't have the integrity to do that. There was a nurse there who was friendly and helpful and gave me some useful tips but also prescribed me with a hydroquinone compound and failed to tell me that it's not for long term use since it's been banned in most countries. Good luck if you decide to visit this place, I've never felt so horrible about myself after a treatment.

This place is not a Spa - it has machines, and chemicals, and cool stuff that actually makes a difference. They do Botox which I will probably need to think about soon... as my life is installing those lines pretty quickly. The service was great, the facility is spotless and the results are fab.

I have been seeing Dagmar for four years now, ever since she worked in a small room at a salon…read more(that's now closed). Since then, she has had 4 different locations and I am still loyal to her as ever. I cannot say anything negative about this amazing woman. She is an incredible esthetician with lots of knowledge and skills. I have gotten facials since I was 14 and she is the best esthetician I have had the pleasure of meeting. When I first saw her, I had moderate cystic-like acne and active acne with multiple breakouts per month. Just after few months of treatment (1-2x a month facials), my acne was less severe, scars were less noticeable, and I started breaking out less. Fast forward 2 years, I started getting compliments on my complexion from strangers. Now, I break out only when I eat certain foods (milk chocolate, french fries, pizza) or around my period. So ever since then, I have been on her appointment book once a month for the past 4 years. Wow. That's crazy but I am so thankful that I have found Dagmar! Her prices are very fair as well. She is also known for eyelash extensions, reiki (energy healing - has done a lot of incredible work on me!), and electrolysis. She is always booked out weeks so make sure you make an appointment right after you're finished with your session. Not only is she an incredible esthetician but she is also an AMAZING person; I can't describe it, you have to meet her and see for yourself. She has a HUGE heart and is such an empathetic, sympathetic, compassionate, understanding, wholesome person. She pretty much knows my whole life story lol so she is like my family. Last Christmas I even gave her a gift - that's how much she means to me! I've even seen her teenage son grow like 6+ inches within the past few years because I literally have been seeing her every month for the past 4 years (wasn't kidding about this!). I can honestly say that Dagmar is definitely an important person in my life and I am so glad that I have met her - she has made a positive influence in my life both aesthetically and spiritually. Thank you Dagmar, love you!

I am a female in my early 20s and have had a decade-long problem with coarse hair growing all along…read moremy cheeks, jaw and neck because of my heritage. I have had around 50 total hours of electrolysis on those areas; which have been worked on by a handful of electrologists all along Puget Sound. When I saw my other electrologists, I would always leave those appointments with super red, inflamed, sometimes burned, blistered, scabbed over skin. Not to mention, the treatments themselves were painful because insertion of the needle was done incorrectly. My skincare routine following those appointments consisted of Neosporin all over my face, everyday, for upwards of a week until the treated areas healed. Unsightly to say the least. Dagmar is undoubtedly the best. The fact that I feel no pain during treatment and very mild redness afterwards speaks for itself. Her aesthetics background further validates why I feel so comfortable getting treated by her. After 3+ months of treatment, still can't believe how happy my skin is during/after electrolysis at Melange Spa. If you are looking for an electrologist, take my word for it and go see Dagmar. She is incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of beauty treatments - and she kindly lets me pick her brain about it all! Not to mention her beautifully decorated, relaxing studio. She is so warm, friendly, and makes me feel beautiful every time I leave. You won't get this kind of treatment anywhere else in the PNW.
