Free eyebrow threading with 1.5 hr facial package which was suppose to include a back massage. The…read morebrow threading was perfection, but the facial was subpar. The room is not equiped. The rool is cold, non heated bed, I was on a hard bed with a thin paper sheet, I had a thin short blanket over me with a wrap around towel. The room is small and no sink, so the employee brought in a bowl of water several times. She said I would enjoy the experience, but I could tell she was inexperienced. The smell and quality of the products used were not good. I had to come home and wash off the smell. My eyes kept watering until I was able to wash it off. The employee would open the door to talk with the other employee, which was not acceptable. The door opens up to the main area and the mall in general. It just felt wrong and it is not set up for spa treatment. The location was Mic Mac Mall

I didn't know about MK Hair and Esthetics until I found a teambuy offer that Maria had available…read morethis past spring. I convinced my friend it would be a good opportunity to get a mani-pedi together, so we thought that we'd try MK out. Owing to the fact that this business is run out of her home, the setting seems a bit odd at first, but immediately becomes comfortable and, of course, homey. Maria has been in business for many years in various locations, but now runs everything from the comfort of her own house. Maria uses OPI products and provided us with a great foot mask and scrub. She's attentive to detail, and we both had a lot of fun trading stories and relaxing while we had our mani-pedis done. If you are looking for a relaxing place that is much less fussy that a large salon, I'd suggest you trust Maria. Prices are fair and her selection of polish colours are great. Also, she has a range of products available on site, too!

Her salon, which is within her very respectable home, is amazingly calming and lets me release any stresses of my life while I am pampered with a pedicure, manicure, facial, hair cut or body wraps. Being apart of her email distribution list keeps me updated on the excellent specials she releases. (Sometimes I purchase multiple purchases up front at a discounted rate, and then it allows me to make sure to take time for myself throughout the year, everyone needs a little deserved R&R :)) Thanks Maria for your continued great service!

Last month I realized I needed a haircut more then I have ever needed a haircut in my entire life…read more My hair had not been trimmed in several months, I had 6-month old half-grown out colour that had faded to the max, and I was *thisclose* to taking the razor to the whole thing ala. Britney. I am particular about my hair and about it looking good so I don't like to trust it to just anyone. Seeing as my hairstylist I have had since BIRTH is in Cole Harbour, I now live in the North end of Halifax with no car, and she is extremely hard to get an appointment with anyway, I decided it was high time to find a place in my own hood. I had noticed Flaunt salon open up a few months before (it opened mid-October 2010) because I walk by the old house it's located in every day after work (you can't miss that big, round window in the front!). It looked like a nice, fun place, plus, you can't beat a 5 minute walk from my apartment. So, I thought I would give it a try. Well, seriously I think I had the best haircut of my LIFE that day. Now, I really really needed a haircut so to be honest, ANY change to my style would probably have made me completely over-the-moon, but it was more than that. I was randomly paired up with Laurel and she was lovely - very friendly with a sunny personality - so I felt in good hands right from the beginning. I brought a picture to give her an idea of the kind of look I wanted and she made it look exactly like that! She gave me a great asymmetrical bob style with tons of layers, but kept it long enough that I could still pull at least the front back - you know, she actually LISTENED to me (which doesn't always happen at salons, am I right, other high-maintainence hair people?). The salon itself is small (I think only 5 chairs) and so it's quiet but also encourages conversation amongst patrons. There is an air of exclusivity to it - like you are at a place that requires you to make an appointment 6 months in advance and where you could easily shell out $200 for a cut. Now, don't get me wrong, this place is a tad pricey - I was actually surprised when she told me the total at the end of my appointment and it came to $57 before tip (so almost $70 total - eeps). However, to me it was worth it because she did a great job with my cut. Also, I don't necessarily mind paying a bit more money for the convenience and experienced stylists. Unfortunately I can't speak for how much a colour or other treatments would cost but I imagine they are not cheap either. One thing that I also found a tad odd was that they don't take credit cards (only debit, cash or cheque) so those of you on a budget and who like your plastic, be forewarned. Also keep in mind that they have more limited hours than other salons (the latest they are open is 8pm and that's only one or two nights a week I think...the other nights I believe it is 6pm) and they are limiting their hours even more over the summer, so book at least a week ahead. One thing is for sure about this place - you will definitely walk out of here with something to Flaunt!

I ended up seeing Meghan, shes a newer stylist but was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I have to say--she did an amazing job!! I was really worried about loosing a lot of length despite knowing a lot had to go to make it healthy again. She managed to trim off just enough, but still left it at a perfect length. She even recommended a 3 step hair treatment to help get my hair back in order. It was a lovely service: and I will be going back to her again. Great job Meghan!

I went in to get my eyebrows waxed, and as soon as I walked in I was greater by the salon owner (didn't know that's who she was at the time) and she was able to squeeze me in with the Esthetician. I was very impressed with how clean and nice the salon looked, and the staff were professionally dressed, and not looking like they are about to head out to a club (which I have encountered before at a different salon). The Esthetician was very good and her job, I was very happy with how she did my brows and I'm usually very picky. The price for waxing is pretty much around the same as anything in the area, I didn't look at the prices for hair services though. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. And I am very happy to see a better manager and staff in the location. I will definitely be going back.
