These are both services you want done by someone that really knows what they are doing. They weren't kidding about creating the perfect brows. I wake up feeling better about the way I look. The brows seem to brighten my entire face. I'm wearing less makeup and spending less time getting ready in the mornings. I've had many general comments about how "bright eyed" I look. I can't say enough about the service at Avalon Beauty Bar. Well worth the price to guarantee fantastic results! This isn't a groupon service, this is true talent.

I just got the HD Brows service done and it was done terribly, the wax ripped some of my skin off…read moreand has begun to scab, the tint was applied carelessly and has stained around my brows, and worst of all shaping was done without a even a quick consultation with me. I was never asked what I liked or consulted about anything, she just went for it. And also, they never even trimmed my eyebrows at all, just waxed and plucked, I don't even think she remembered she just wanted to be done with me as quickly as possible. I don't know what I paid such a hefty price tag for ($45!!), when I am going to have to fix everything when I go home anyways. Edit: No I am not taking any oral or topical medications, I've done the same service before and I have never completely scabbed over like this. My other eyebrow (while not done well regarding shaping) has only a small scab but is otherwise not torn like the one I've shown in the picture. I truly believe that they do not properly train on how to do and wax eyebrows, the woman who did mine perhaps didn't use wax which was hot enough (the other brow that wasn't hurt was done last by which time the wax may have been better) or pulled at the wrong angle. I spoke to the woman who did them and immediately she turned the situation so that I would feel like I may have done something wrong, asking about medications and then finally saying I must be more sensitive and that I should just use some polysporin and it will be okay. It's been 2 full days since she touched my brows and the scab is not only still there, it's even darker. I can't even cover it with makeup because the texture shows through and I wouldn't even do that because I don't want to irritate the wound further. I've just been nursing my scab for the past few days instead of "enjoying" what my 45$ bought me. It's just not worth it. If they had even apologized or offered me something to compensate for the injury then I wouldn't say this, but that's just not something Caryl Baker would ever do, so please, believe me when I tell you that in this place, other that the one or two people that have offered any service for me, EVERYONE else is incompetent, rude, and will charge you wayyy above the quality of work they provide. I have been going to this location for 2 and a half years now and this is the final straw I needed to make me realize that this place is garbage. I urge you to find somewhere else to take your business before you regret it like I do now.

They offer really anything you can imagine beauty wise, minus hair styling. So by this I mean make up, waxing, facials, teeth whitening etc. They operate on a walk in basis. I came here a while back to get my eyebrows done. I was trying to think why I didn't come back but I couldn't remember. Usually if a place does a really poor job I always remember. The memories of why kind of came back pretty quickly.. This place was a little cramped. Its very small and usually pretty busy. I was squeezed in immediately. I waited 10 minutes to see someone, not too bad. While I was waiting the station I was at had a bunch of leftover wax (with hair on it) still all over the counter. Kind of gross. When the lady doing my eyebrows got to me she apologized profusely. This didn't bother me. She told me she does her eyebrows a little thicker and offered to do mine to my natural shape, not too thin like most places do. I like mine a little tiny bit thin sometimes but I decided to let her go with it. As soon as she started back I remembered why I didn't come here again. They have a membership card and they are SOOO pushy about it. She talked about it the entire time and I really tried hard not to show any interest. When she was finished she said "so just the brow wax along with the membership?" After I explained I really didn't want it she kind of seemed irritated by this. Despite the big tip I gave her. I think mine came to $21, tip included. My eyebrows do really look good. She did a great job shaping them. But holy crap I can't listen to them talk about their membership the entire interaction, and they're sooo pushy! I'd likely come back here in a pinch but I'd make it very obvious I have 0 desire to get a membership.

Her work is over priced and it's too hard to get to in alymer/Gatineau without a car. And Uber doesn't go back to Ottawa. So take account for Uber and taxi fees when you book also.

I was hesitant to try somewhere new after having gone to the same place for years, but came initially as part of a girl date with one of my friends. The salon is very bright and clean. I love pink, so they earn brownie points with me for the rose gold, white, and pink decor. Their staff is really personable and friendly. It's really my favourite part of the experience! Bella was amazing and really listened and "gets" what I'm asking for. I'm picky and indecisive, so that really says a lot and is important to me when it comes to nails or any beautification. I also really love that they have so many colour options and offer cool ideas that I wouldn't necessarily think of on my own. After my initial visit, I learned chrome doesn't work well for me- I think my nails are maybe too oily or my cuticles just didn't like it. Bella went above and beyond to find a solution, and really cared about me being happy with her work. I can't even say how valuable that is in this kind of industry- as a consumer it's certainly rare to find people who take so much pride in their work. It's a nice central location, in Sparks street. For convenience I just parked at the World Exchange Plaza (free on weekends!) but there is also street parking available if you know where to look. I would totally recommend this spot to a friend, I'm considering coming back to try the lash extensions or microblading, I love that it's all in one spot!
