I am genuinely saddened to be writing this review. I have been a loyal client of Stripped Wax Bar…read morePort Moody for over 4.5 years and have recommended this location to many friends and family. Today, I arrived a few minutes late for my appointment and was immediately told by Sonika that only half of my service could be completed. While I understand that lateness can affect scheduling, what was disappointing was the way the situation was handled. I was spoken to in a rude and confrontational manner, accused of not valuing her time, and made to feel reprimanded rather than assisted. When I tried to discuss the matter with reception, no effort was made to resolve the issue beyond suggesting that I submit feedback by email. To make matters worse, another staff member came out and told me to lower my voice, despite the fact that I was speaking calmly and respectfully throughout the interaction. If anything, it was Sonika who was being loud and confrontational. I found this both unfair and upsetting. In over four years as a regular client, I have never had a single complaint. That is why today's experience was so shocking and disappointing. I encourage management to review the recordings from today, as the level of customer service I experienced was far below what I have come to expect from this business. Sadly, after today's experience, I will not be returning and regret having recommended this location to others.

Private treatment room with a bathroom nearby. Waxing services were clearly explained to me before we started. Questions were answered. I felt totally at ease by the time I climbed onto the waxing bed. As per the website, I had taken some Advil beforehand and was very well hydrated. The waxing itself was effecient and not as uncomfortable as I was expecting. Phew. I had my legs and underarms done. It has been a couple hours and all redness is gone. I love the results and entire experience, so have already booked my next two appointments. Thank you!

I'll be going back for follow up appointments now. The address is correct, Savvy is actually located in the room in the back of the hair salon.

They had lots of availability so I was able to get the exact time/day I wanted. My waxer, Valentina, was super professional and knew what she was doing.

The whole process was super quick as well. I knocked off one star just because of the price. A Brazilian with tip came out to just under $70 which is higher than most places I've been to so if you plan on going regularly I definitely recommend buying the packages they offer to cut down on the cost.

Unfortunately she only works select days at this location. That being said, every other person I have had has led to a variety of negative experiences; from completely ruining the shape of my eyebrows and then trying to convince me I was wrong about not liking them, cutting up my eyebrows badly through threading, and even giving me unsolicited advice on how to deal with my breakouts, the bad has definitely outweighed the good Especially for the price tag (I think around $18 for eyebrow threading), the level of service is not on par therefore I'm much less inclined to come back.

I got my eyebrows threaded at Cleopatra in December and have no complaints. The young girl that…read moreruns the shop did them for me and it was great. I bought a five-pack and went back a couple of weeks ago for my second Threading but was sorely (pun intended) disappointed. It hurt more than Threading ever has before and I didn't know why until the next day when I saw that the stylist had cut me!! She left four places with cuts on them that stung for days and left scabs. Small scabs, but still. She also had drawn the shape on them but didn't review it with me before she started. I should've spoken up but I didn't. I think that the majority of the problem was that the stylist was chatting the entire time with someone else that worked there. She was not paying enough attention to me and hurt me. I contacted the manager who wanted me to return and was only willing to give me that one session on the house. I told her that that wasn't good enough for me and that I wanted my package refunded because I didn't feel comfortable going back. I never heard back after that phone call or the email I sent the company after the fact. In short, I would say proceed with caution. Make sure the person is paying attention and that they show you their markings before they start Threading. I did have one great treatment there but with the horrible customer service and terrible experience being cut in multiple places, I won't be going back. They should have handled this better. I am extremely disappointed.

Unfortunately your company has chosen to use not properly trained people to tint eyebrows and eyelashes (Leila). My eyebrows are not very well done, they do not match each other. I can live with that. I am attaching a photo of the damage done to my eye from the eyelash tint. I hoped it would get better today, it hasn't.
