I visited this store recently looking for specific professional hair dye. I am not a licensed…read morehairstylist and wasn't aware that they do not sell their hair dye to a lay person such as myself. This was not my issue however. The staff were not at all compliant with the current rules concerning COVID-19 safety. The store's capacity was over limit and not enforced, and the sales person I dealt with was not wearing an approved mask (she was wearing an open, clear plastic half-face shield that did not cover her nose). This clear flaunting of safety regulations made me question the sanitary nature of the beauty products. I left quickly, without purchase and won't be returning.

They carry a large selection of comfortable/orthopedic shoes, but service is spotty. When I called…read moreto ask about a specific item, the woman who answered the phone was brusque, saying that she had another customer. This is not the way to attract and retain clients in the age of internet shopping. I try really hard to support local businesses, which is why I contacted them instead of buying online. I've purchased many shoes here over the years, but it's always been a case of subjugating my need for the product to the sub-par service.They carry Naot, Naturalizer, Trotters, Rieker, Remonte, etc. Prices are higher than at mall shops, as would be expected for higher-quality products. They need to work on their customer service to merit those higher prices.

Absolutely the best shoe store. If you have any kind of problems with your feet, Ovation shoes is…read morethe store for you. Good old fashioned shoe sales support. Measured my feet for size and width. I choose the Mephisto sandal. If you like Berkinstocks, you will fall in love with Mephisto as soon as you slip your foot into it. It has been 20years since I have purchased a pair of shoes that fit perfectly!!

The ladies who work here could not be more friendly and helpful. Though the prices are a higher than a big box store, you can not deny the one of a kind, fun and flirty vibe this shop carries. They also have a great selection of Fly London shoes and handbags. I will be back time and time again! It is located downtown London on Talbot St. close to York St.

I saw this store on my way to the OYE at The Hood. Friends know that I sew my own clothes and…read moreloathe shopping, so something really exceptional has to catch my eye in order to get me make an apparel purchase. And catch my eye it did! They had the cutest watermelon skirt. I've wanted a watermelon outfit since I was a toddler. Not sure why I never sewed one for myself. Today being Canada Day (YAAAAAY FOR CANADIANS NEW AND OLD! We are the most welcoming country to people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, gender identities, languages and religions!), the store isn't open but the website is. Highlights: 1. Free shipping over $25 (not sure if that is a time-limited offer) or you can pre-pay and pick it up in-store. 2. Comprehensive size chart that tells you how to measure (so needed and yet so rarely done well). 3. Generous, easy, clear return policy. Put the free return label on the package, get it to Canada Post and you are done. 4. Wide selection including lingerie, jewellery, accessories, aprons, leggings, scarves and special occasion dresses. I'll post about my watermelon skirt when it arrives!

An elderly lady, who has dementia, went to see Dr. Roma Pushka at Einstein's Optical, Sherwood…read moreForest Mall, for an eye assessment and glasses. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Throughout the appointment, Dr. Pushka was rude, curt, impatient, and lacked the compassion and professionalism that I would expect when caring for an elderly patient with cognitive impairment. Patients with dementia often need extra patience, reassurance, and clear communication, and we did not feel that this was provided. When my wife and I entered the room to help interpret and support my mother-in-law, Dr. Pushka appeared upset and commented that having more people in the room would create too much body heat which makes her uncomfotable. We found this remark inappropriate and insensitive, particularly given that we were there solely to help an elderly family member understand the assessment. Every healthcare professional can have a busy day, but kindness, patience, and respect are especially important when caring for vulnerable patients. Unfortunately, this visit fell well short of those expectations.

This is a review for London, Canada: Had constant problems with these junk plastic lens glasses...2…read morepairs now. They have to be cleaned several times a day as everything sticks to them. On my first pair, they claimed i was wearing them too close to my face, so they adjusted them out. No improvement. They next claimed I was using wrong cleaner and must have damaged the coating. Since i wasn't always using their cleaner, I took their word for it. When i scratched the lens, i went in for an auto tinting lens relacement, being careful to only use their cleaner. They were just as bad for cleaning and the tint malfunctions all the time. It stays dark when i enter my house from bright outdoors. i have to be inside for many minutes before they go bright again. When I complain, I get this "our lenses are best in class" nonsense. When I was waiting to get my new lenses i reverted back to an old pair of real glass lenses and had no cleaning issues at all. Never going back to this place again.Their product is junk. Nice people though.

There is a huge variety of items, and they're all beautiful quality. During my most recent visit, I purchased a bracelet, a map print, and vegan deodorant, so that gives you just a small idea of the different things to check out! Free parking is available just behind the store. There is also a little free library shelf near the entrance, where you can take and leave a book. Love it! Can't wait to come back.

It's a craft fair that never leaves! It's wonderful. Things I have purchased there include hand cream, stickers, jewelry, chocolate, hot sauce, cloth diapers, decorative pieces, mugs...and all of it locally made. I've seen clothing, Pokémon themed stuff, crochet animals, air plants, wooden creations, coffee, dog treats and collars, baby gear, greeting cards and the list goes on and on. You will no doubt find something unique and one of a kind here. And you will be supporting local and that's a double double win.

No fuss, no muss, easy in easy out, no hassles at all - friendly staff. Not even a deep sigh or "i don't know if we can do this comment" I find more and more the worth of a store is how they treat you when you need them to take stuff back or fix something. I was impressed. Also liking their much more diverse woman's selections of clothes. Wearable and even feminine while sell focusing on good basics.
