Hi there, This past…read moreChristmas Mom gave my sisters and I a gc at West End Academy. In the last 2 months, I made use of mine 2x. I booked a waxing appt in Jan and what I thought would be a hydra facial in Feb, but turned out to be far better:) But first let me address the waxing appt. The waxing went quite well. Been trying to grow my brows in and was keen to emphasize I didn't want to lose the little that I currently had. Both the instructor and student listened patiently and reassured me they would take that into account and this they did do. They were also very careful, taking pains to wax n then shape the brows so that when hair did grow or when I did do them at home it would be a much easier task to groom them. My only issue was the temporary rash that broke out on my face. But that I attribute to not having waxed in 3 years [due to the lockdowns] and not being used to it like I once was. They recommended a remedy, and as promised the bumps disappeared:) Regardless, I was quite pleased with the service and found the instructor and her student very knowledgeable, enjoyable and attentive. Then last Friday I went for my facial. Like I said, initially I booked for a hydra facial. I had one 4 yrs ago and really loved it! But when I called to ask about it, I found out they no longer had the machine for the hydra facial, and that [unfortunately] their current price list hadn't been updated yet to reflect that. Instead, there was a new facial known as Oxygeneo now available. I asked about the Oxygeneo and discovered it was 50$ more than the hydra facial, but also encompassed more treatments and was said to be of greater value then the other. My gc had been for 160$. I had already used part of it and the remainder was supposed to be for the hydra facial. But now the facial available was MORE than what I had left on my gc and I was disappointed. I brought my concern to management and they agreed to accommodate not only myself, but my sisters as well...(!) for their marketing error. They were quick to acknowledge their mistake and to assure my family and I would not be penalized for it. I was really happy and relieved to hear that since I was not relishing arguing my way into getting what I was entitled to...[which happens frequently these days and is exhausting] or informing my family they would need to. The Oxygeneo facial itself was wonderrrful...like every aspect of it. For starters, it has many parts to it, and each part is normally a costly treatment in and of itself. They start off with some of kind of liquid micro-dermabrasion, then move on to an RF treatment, then ultrasound, and finally a relaxing facial massage with an eye towards lymphatic drainage. Luckily, I had the SAME seasoned instructor and student working in tandem on my skin for the facial as I did for the waxing, which made for a delightful little reunion :). Communication between the 2 and myself was lovely and constant so I knew what was happening every step of the way and they constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable with everything. By the time they were through, my skin looked amazing...! :) Soft as a baby's bottom and glowing like a school girl's and I ...AM ...NOT...lol That said, I advise all women looking for a comprehensive anti-aging facial to consider the Oxygeneo and to book with West End Academy for it ASAP. Why? You would be foolish not to. It only costs 150$ there and is worth farrr more outside of it. Just micro-dermabrasion alone will run you anywhere from 160-180$, so the fact that you get not one but 4 TREATMENTS in 1 (!) should have you calling the Vatican, because it's nothing short of miraculous much like Samar's incredibly talented and caring hands and Jamie's gentle enthusiasm and focused client care. Beauty is empowering and there's nothing quite like finding just the right treatment of people to help you both look and feel good. Self-care is the secret to a happy and healthy life and West End Academy can get you on track to getting closer to both. Merciiiiiox/Shoukranox, Malika

Great way to #save #money getting your #hair cut at a hairstyling school. Only $11.30 for a mens…read morecut and so far I have been very satisfied with the service. Sometimes it takes a little longer for them to finish the job or the instructor has to make some little corrections but other than that no problems. I think the students actually take more time and devote more attention to you than at a regular place. I have been back four times so far and I think that's a saving of $30 over regular barbers in total. If you like you can tip but it's not required. Located in Lincoln Fields Mall.

Oh boy, this is going to be a long one lol…read more Ashbury College is located in the uber-rich area of Rockcliffe Park in the capital of Canada. Ashbury College is no University, it's actually a boarding primary & high school for girls and boys. But it's no ordinary school, I believe one of if not the top primary and high schools in Canada. One of Ashburys' most Notable alumni includes John Turner, Canada's seventeenth Prime Minister. The tuition not cheap either, this is the current tuition: - Non Boarding Student: $30,585 a year. - Boarding Student: $71,720 a year. This school is typically populated by the children of diplomats and the wealthy, and there's a long waiting list to get in. Technically, I qualify as one of the aforementioned as my Grandmother on my mother's side worked for the Jamaican High Commission(Jamaican Embassy) in Ottawa. So I'm going to tell you how I got into this school, and how I exited. So how did I get in? Well getting into Ashbury is not easy, I had to do a rigorous entrance exam and interview. I was about 12 when my mother was trying to get me into this school, and at the time no one explained to me the significance of graduating from this institution. I thought it was just some school for nerds. When I was doing the entrance test, I got bored so I just started to put anything for answers. They made me redo the test because they knew I purposely screwed the test because I literally got all the answers right in all the sections up to a point. I don't remember what they said to me to make me redo the test, but this time I did the whole test, and my score was so high they let me into the school immediately without having to go on the waitlist. I really enjoyed this school, it was exactly like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft, except instead of magical wands we had Jesus, and instead of books of spells and incantations, we had the Bible. I was a straight 'A' student, and I did that without studying. I was also on the junior school soccer team. This is where it gets weird. The guy who was our headmaster of the boarding rooms was this creepy British guy who looked exactly like Professor Snape. There were 4 of us per room, and I think there were about 10 or 12 rooms on the floor. Now I've always been big for my age, so I was not someone who you could manhandle even at 12. I had the bottom bunk, and I've always been a late sleeper. So I started to notice this dude, the Headmaster would come into our room and just stand in the closet facing me for hours on end, not moving. I mean dude would stand there immovable for hours. I didn't think it was abnormal behavior, because being twelve I had no idea what the hell abnormal behavior was. One night this dude was standing there for hours, and I was just staring back at him, and he freaked out and turned on the lights. He ripped my covers off of me and yelled " you're not sleeping civilized". I guess I needed my covers to be picture-perfect and unruffled. The next odd thing about this Headmaster dude, after Phys-ED class, while we were all showering naked, he would always stand there staring at us. This behavior went on for months. Now this is where it gets really weird. Some of the students made up lies and informed the school administration "through the Headmaster" that I had taken their things and broken them. I was like what? Why would I do that, and why would they lie and say something like that. I'm not even sure which students made up the lie, though I have an idea. Anyway, to make a long story short, the school administration decided to expel me from the school because of the allegations. Even though I was a straight 'A' student, and I had no recorded incidences with any student or professor. I remember the day I was packing to leave, one of the students who I believe made up the allegations, a Middle-eastern kid, who also bunked in my room, looked at me with fear in his eyes, I'll never forget it. He tried to tell me something, but as he was about to speak another kid walked in and he went silent. So I left and my family wanted to kill me, they said I had ruined the opportunity for anyone in the family to get into Ashbury. I told them I didn't do anything, and that I had no idea why they were making up stories about me. Fast forward about 16 years later my mother read an Ottawa news article about that the very same Headmaster being arrested for molesting the boys in the Junior Boarding school at Ashbury College... Once she told me, I remembered all the crazy behavior that dude used to do and immediately realized he was molesting at least one of the kids in my room. Most likely the one who was trying to tell me something when I was leaving, and the one who made up the lies. That's when my mother finally believed me. I realised the headmaster had to get rid of me because he could not molest the other kid or kids in my room with me there. To think this pedophile had been ruining young boys lives for decades.

I would say very overhyped. Unless your not paying for it this school is not worth it. With them…read moreincreasing tuition almost every year and them implementing more restrictive rules without student input it has transformed into more of a prison than an actual learning environment. The administrators constantly say we are a private school and we dont have to follow many of public school rules, and then they just choose any rule and use the excuse that the public schools have it. With uniforms, phone restrictions, and a lack of self choice it does not prepare you for University or College but it limits you it stunts your personal growth. Food was alright here not the worst but ok "international food".

She helped us out a great deal. The course my daughter took was 30 hours on line theory and 10 hours of actually driving. The price was very competitive. The Driving Instructor was Gihad Qassem who was also excellent. My 16 year old daughter said Gihad was very professional, funny, knew how to teach, and made the driving lessons very enjoyable. My daughter took her G2 Driving test two days after passing the Drivers Education course, SHE PASSED the first time, so Jim's Driving School and Gihad must be doing something right!
