I recently decided to look into getting powder brows and after hours of research and trawling…read morethrough reviews, I settled on Brow Beauty with Melissa and it was the best possible decision I could have made. From the get-go, Melissa was patient with my questions, making sure that all my concerns were addressed in full. When it came to booking, the system releases dates for the next month on the first day of the current month and my advice would be to book ASAP. It floored me how quickly dates disappeared from the booking calendar - though that's also a pretty strong indicator of how popular/sought-after a brow appointment at Brow Beauty is! During the day of, Melissa was great with advising me on what shape/color would work best for me (she's the expert!) and definitely helped to put me at ease. The process itself was relatively painless and lasted a little over two hours. Afterwards, she was clear on how important post-care was - no exercise, stay out of direct sunlight and the ever important, don't pick at scabs! The healing process itself took about two weeks, and the best piece of advice I have for anyone going through this is to trust the staff and trust the process. Right after the appointment there was definitely some mild swelling (which I was forewarned about) and I'd read enough stories/reviews describing the post-appointment look as "Angry Birds." Thankfully, I had more of a "Mildly Concerned Birds" look during the first two days, but within the first week, the healing process started and the brows both lightened and thinned out - just as Melissa had assured me they would! I got compliments from coworkers straightaway and I was happy to tell them all about Melissa and Brow Beauty. After a month, the eyebrows settled and they look amazing - just went back for my touch-up and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Many thanks to Melissa and Brow Beauty - you guys are incredible!

I have had my lashes done at many different places previously, but I could always feel the extensions on the eyes, they weren't uncomfortable but my eyes felt heavy and I was always consciously aware something was on my eyes.

I never post reviews, but I am so happy with my lashes, so I had to post this!

The salon is conveniently located downtown in The Duncan Building which is a beautiful carriage building with various types of salons and other businesses inside. Even though my appointment was right at the time they were supposed to open, they were already open and set up. My MUA/Hair Stylist, Jane, was super sweet and kind. She also asked all the right questions to make sure she delivered everything I wanted. Honestly she did such an incredible job, better than I could have hoped for. I've never felt quite that glamorous, despite having had my make up done professionally soo many times. I loved my look and look forward to working with Jane again in the future. She really is such a natural talent and really excels with the type of looks I love

I made my appointment with Elaine after reading so many nice reviews about her. She did an AMAZING job. She was extremely gentle and took her time to make sure they were perfect.

I have to admit though, despite being located next to Stan's Pizza (Go Stan's!) I didn't notice this little gem until the past recent months. Sorry, my bad! I yelped/googled/social media'd this place because: 1) I'm all about reviews 2) I'm all about cleanliness. 2 Polished succeeded in both categories. I was going away for the weekend and needed a quick wax. A last minute decision which luckily ended up at 2 Polished. I called and was greeted over the phone with a friendly voice and luckily was able to land an appointment within 30 minutes time. YES! Parking was a breeze because it's all street parking outfront, and upon entering I was pleasantly surprised but how charming it is inside. It's a bit smaller than your average salon/spa but I can appreciate the coziness of it and how everything looked CLEAN and well taken care for. There are 2 pedi stations on your right with stainless steel basins (used fresh every time, double yes), a mani station on your left and a loungey chair in the back which I assume are for lash appointments. Behind the mani station there is a small room for waxes and the like. I was greeted by the receptionist and was told Angie was just preparing for my appointment and that she'd be out in a second. I really had no idea who Angie was, but turns out she is the heart and soul of 2 Polished. The wax itself was pleasant (as pleasant as a wax can be) and I loved that she took her time. I've gotten so many waxes in my lifetime and you won't believe how lazy people can get. Angie used gloves, disposable wooden waxing applicators, fresh bed paper, etc etc. Just basically anything you might be worried about when it came to hygiene...she took care of it. And the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend 2 Polished and can't wait for my next service. From looking at their instagram, I'd probably try getting my lashes done next time too.
