I've been here many times over the years and I've never been disappointed once…read more I've had haircuts, highlights, facials, massages and body scrubs - you name it and I've had it done and I've always had a good experience. I find its a really pleasant place to go and their prices are excellent. Everyone has been courteous and professional. Yes, it might take a little longer but they're students after all!

After going here for the past 3 yrs it's been good with the foils and cut but this time there's…read moreGrey's everywhere especially around my face and roots. I called for a touch up after 2 days and I was told they are fully booked into Jan already. No attempt to put me on a cancelation list or nothing so no retribution. I also find they sell their products at top dollar and don't sell any gift packs or do any incentives for their customers. I will think twice...

I got my pedicule a couple of weeks ago, my gel nail today and Tuesday I am going back for the deluxe facial. I feel like a new woman Today is Tuesday and I just got home from having my facial and I know I said it before but this is the best facial I have ever had....I already book my next one

Worst service i have ever had, they were all incredibly unprofessional and not well groomed, the…read moreplace smelled like cat pee and molding food. I went in to get a hair cut and my hair is noticeably longer on one side, the girls were talking about how they never get taught and they teach each other, very unprofessional. The owner shara, all about money, doesn't care about clients or students. The most money hungry person i've met. They have an "instructor" beth, i didn't know idiots were allowed to work at schools, but i guess their not since Shara doesnt even pay her. After this experience i went down to Angeles Academy, and experienced the best service i have ever had in a salon, especially for being a school. The girls were well groomed and nice, and the owners were friendly and you could tell they were interested in the student over anything and the clients next, which is how a school should be. I would never go back to The Hair School again, unless they got a better owner!

If you venture a little bit beyond the tourist core along Fort Street, you will come across The…read moreMakehouse....if you're a crafter, especially if you're into sewing - or want to be - you will find a delightful playground. This is an adorable, somewhat small shop-classroom-studio. There are lots of indy label sewing patterns (like Christine Hayes, Colette, etc), sewing notions, a smattering of scrapbooking items and some lovely locally-handmade pieces. The Makehouse offers fun classes. They offer basic sewing, pattern making, upholstering and specific piece workshops. There's a Kids Club a couple nights a week. They also have drop in sewing times and "sewcials". It seems local fiber artists use the space as a studio...it's an inspiring environment. They were featuring some unique hand embroidered portraits of women by an artist named Annie Nazarian when I stopped by. Unique, interesting. There's a definite Somerset Studio, slightly vintage vibe coursing through The Makehouse that is charming...if staying downtown, it's worth the extra block's jaunt to visit or if local, a few hours to stop for a class. I try to spend a couple weeks at a time every few years in Victoria - and on my next extended stay I intend to take some classes...I can't wait for my next visit!
