Enter Covid times, and the eyebrows had gotten out of control. I made an appointment with TEW online (easy) and had a great experience once there. Kimberly truly cares about brows and listened to my perfectionist monologue about how I wanted them shaped. Not only is she a brow professional, she is simply a nice person and a joy to talk to! She follows Covid protocols, wearing a mask and shield during my service, having hand sanitizer, and sanitizing the chair between clients. The building is located in the Winton/Blossom area and has a parking lot, sometimes hard to come by in city locations. Give Third Eye Wellness a try, you'll be glad you did!

Well it all started with my wife telling me about this 6 week challenge thing. After listening to…read moreher little speech and reasoning for trying it I decided to do it with her. Figuring ... it would be fun and something good we could do togather. I though to myself it would be a little easier to eat the same way and me being a weight lifter be able to handle any of the workouts that is thrown at me.  First the diet, it took some getting good used to. Going from a meat and potatoes type of guy to eating plants and fruits for the most part. After a short time we learned different ways to prepare our meals for the days coming. It turned out to be fun, challenging and actually tasted quite good. Second the workouts, being a weight lifter and a hockey player I thought I was in ok shape, NOT !  The workouts we did were very challenging and a little bit different different than what I was used to. I learned a lot of different exercises and moves that helped me in both lifting get and most off all my hockey. I also learned things that will incorporate into my own workout routines. All in all and to make a long story short I am happy to say my wife and I were successful in our  challenge. I planned on losing 20 lbs. in 6 weeks and ended up losing 26.8 lbs. in 6 weeks without realizing it. I am taking away from this challenge a good diet habit to supplement my everyday meals, good workout routines to incorporate my own workouts and most of all a great friendship and information base with all of our trainers. This was definitely a life changing event that I will not forget.

When I started this challenge I hadn't exercised seriously in months and I hadn't been eating…read morehealthy. I was in a rut. I had gained at least 20 pounds and was really hating the way I looked and felt. I had lost weight before but have always been unable to keep it off. I really needed a change. The workouts in the program are the kind I have always wanted to do - easy to understand, fast, and a good mix of cardio and strength training. I have never been able to motivate myself to do these types of workouts on my own. The trainers at Body and Soul were kind, engaging and caring. They want everyone to work hard and be safe. I've been a member of another gym for 9 years and had personal trainers at different points in my life. I have never gotten so much attention and positivity from trainers at any other gym. Even the atmosphere of the other gym members is great. Going there just made me happy. Anyone who asked me about the diet I always said the same thing: It's very restrictive. It's all the healthy things you know you're supposed to eat. While it was a challenge to eat at all the right times it was nothing a little planning ahead of time couldn't handle. I really liked being able to pick simple things from a menu and not have to track everything endlessly. Overall I am stronger, leaner, I feel great and I am so happy I did the challenge. Thank you Body and Soul!!

I just finished my 6 week challenge and have to admit that I highly recommend the program. The…read moremeal plan was very clear as to what was allowed and not allowed for each meal. There were enough choices and variety to get through the 6 weeks, but most of all the changes made to my diet were seen on the scale immediately! The first week alone (when my body was in utter shock), I lost 7 pounds! From that moment on, there was no doubt in my mind that the program worked. In terms of the exercise plan, it is the most efficient 1 hour workout I have ever done. I used to work out regularly on my own prior to the challenge but the classes Body and Soul offer and high intensity workouts where I am performing a perfect mix of cardio and strength moves. The trainers are excellent, personable, and challenged me regularly to increase my weights in order to get stronger. Lastly, the overall atmosphere of the people at Body and Soul is so encouraging. We are all there for the same place and I have to say that I met some great friends along the way. If you are looking to drop some pounds or become leaner, Body and Soul is the place to go. I highly recommend you stop by, check it out, talk to the trainers, and get on your way to a fitter, leaner, healthier you!

Full disclosure, I joined this group of studios. I tried them last year and found it too pricy…read more But then as I went around to other places in town, I just kept thinking about this workout format and the way I felt after doing some of the workouts. I did a trial run earlier this summer, and just bit the bullet and joined after that. As a result, Ive been to this studio a number of times recently, I found tis location to be perfect some days. Its much smaller than the Tonawanda location, which is good and bad. Good because there are fewer people in each class, bad because its often full for each class. Ive never been here with more than one instructor, and at Tonawanda's there is almost always 2, if not three but I imagine that has to do with size of class. The format is this - They create 6 workouts (Mon-Sat) which they then do for 4 weeks. Each workout is designed to hit different areas of the body, and some days have more weight and less cardio than others, they mix it up. Each class starts with the same tape to get everyone stretched out and ready for the next 50 min. Then there is a short cardio burst to get the blood flowing, and a longer section with some burpees or squats or whatever they think of. Then you pay attention while the instructor shows you what each exercise of the day is. By week four those demos don't take quite as long, but they still cover them all each day, and show you the various different levels for each exercise. Well trained group of instructors. Then the class starts, usually that portion is between 22-25 min. as you go from exercise to exercise. There may be some sort of 3 min end exercise, they often involve squats Ive found. Then the same cool down tape plays and everyone does that. Class ends as the instructor brings everyone into the middle for a "tip of the day". Sometimes those are super interesting, other times they are so-so. I don't think those are spelled out from corporate, I think they make them up themselves, which could explain why some are better than others. They have improved their website experience by joining mindbody, so that's nice. There is another location coming in Cheektowaga this fall. I look forward to checking that out too. This place is the home of the "6 weeks 20 lbs" challenge, and you'll have challengers in most classes. I cannot stress enough how much support these people get from the instructors and members in their goals. Most hit the goals if they show up to class and follow the diet plan. If you want to come try a class, PM me and Ill see if I can help make that happen.

For Christmas, I treated my…read moremom and myself to 50-minute massages and it was such a perfect way to relax and spend time together especially because I had been wanting to try this spa forever, but it was always fully booked. I jumped on it early in December and snagged us appointments for January 3rd. Turns out, it was worth the wait! My massage therapist, Janine, was wonderful and my mom only spoke positively about her massage therapist, Hannah. I always know a massage is good when I fall asleep... and sure enough, I drifted off for a little spa nap. Mission accomplished! I also loved the quiet room and the showers afterward, which really extended the whole relaxation experience. While I've been to spas across the country with much more extravagant amenities, Woodhouse is a fantastic option for Buffalo. I felt it was very clean, calm, and exactly what you want from a quality day spa. My mom and I both left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and very happy we finally made it happen! I'm sure we'll be back next time I am in town!

This is evidently a new building for this medical office. I know that because there is a sign in…read morethe ladies room letting us know how to keep it "new". There should be signs in the waiting room about using phone for videos on silent or with headsets. Because they already have a tv making enough noise. There should also be signs saying you can't use the cell phone as a phone in the waiting room. Headsets are needed. The welcome reception desk is nice. Well organized. Pleasant. Smooth. The appts seemed to be running on time. The rooms were clean and didn't feel cramped. The exit process was easy and smooth too. All in all this was a good place for a dr visit. They lost a star because the waiting room isn't managed as well as it should be. A few signs and a little bit of enforcement from the front desk staff will do wonders. I'd point out the tv isn't needed, or at least the volume doesn't need to be on, closed captions would be fine.

It's easy enough to make an appointment online or on the app and they send regular reminders to assist in making your appointment time or rescheduling if need be. The front-desk staff was consistent on greeting me upon arrival and the waiting room was kept clean and organized. The massage employees would shift out and in, so that did make it a little bit more difficult to keep a regular person, which I could understand may frustrate someone. I don't mind swapping up and having someone different, so this wasn't a big deal to me.

As I was searching for salons, I came across this place and can't believe I didn't leave my bad…read moreexperiences here: I have come here twice: once for a haircut and once for a massage. I would never come back here again! Per other reviews, my sentiments are shared. I came some years ago (maybe 5 and 6 years ago). Seems nothing has changed. My first visit, I got a haircut. The girl cutting my hair was downright MISERABLE! I felt so so so uncomfortable! She didn't even want to finish blow drying my hair. When I went to cash out with the gentleman at the front desk, he had to tell her to tell me thank you for tipping her. She didn't. It was all so unpleasant and I decided I wouldn't come back - but then I bought a Groupon for a massage. Big mistake. When I came in for my massage, the lady doing my massage did not seem in a sober state and I will leave it at that. I politely told her, as I tell every masseuse, I prefer to close my eyes during a massage and just drift away - that talking makes it impossible for me to relax. She acknowledged this and then talked the entire time - and loud! The bright lights were left ON. She put some essential oils on her hands and told me to inhale deeply - we'll guess what - her funky hands wreaked of cigarettes (mixed with the scent of the oil). Disgusting (I don't care if someone smokes but don't have me smell your hands when they smell like cigarettes come on now!). Then - I kid you not - about halfway through - she stepped out for a smoke break!! What??? I couldn't believe it! She told me she would be right back and she came back in smelling like cigarettes - that's how I knew! This place is unprofessional and just downright odd for a salon by its name and location. Steer clear and do not feel tempted by the Groupons - you will be wasting your money.

Also, I bought two Groupons, but when I went to use them, they were using another company name so they wouldn't work. Dingy place and an old man is making telephone calls for appts. Definitely dodged a bullet with this one, even though I lost $100.
