I recently moved from Houston, TX where Ive had a great hairdresser and I was very nervous about…read moretrying a new one. Although it was a random pick but Chatters at Barrhaven turned out to be a great find. I really liked the clean, calm atmosphere and Waheeda was just fabulous. I went for highlights and she transformed my dull, lifeless hair into a beautiful two-tone style. You can completely trust her advice, she will tell you what will look best for you. I am going back to her this week for a cut.

So happy with this salon! I had Becca L as my stylist and she was very friendly and did such an…read moreamazing job with my hair and clearly knows what she's doing. I was nervous because this was my first time getting my hair dyed but she gave me an amazing blonde balayage. It was exactly what I wanted. She took care in making me look good and I have no complaints at all. Her instagram is hairbybeccaL and I cannot recommend her enough. I was able to book online and got in two days after booking. Not the cheapest place you can go but I feel it was a very fair price and worth the money. She was also happy to recommend me some shampoos and gave me care instructions. Couldn't be happier with my experience.

I've always had a slight addiction to beauty products, and Trade Secrets still fulfills that sneaky…read morelittle craving for high quality hair products and fun cosmetics. I was that girl in high school with 4 or 5 different kinds of shampoo, body wash and bubble bath in the shower. I've managed to take it down a notch since then, but I still get a bit giddy when I wind up in the vicinity of a Trade Secrets, and this one might be my favourite. Instead of being tucked into a mall like most of their locations, this one has it's own storefront. It's got plenty of room to sashay up and down the aisles admiring bulk shampoo (Bed Head! 30$!), OPI nail polish and hair appliances. This is always the first place I stop when I need to make a new beauty investment like a quality flat iron or if I'm looking for a salon-exclusive hair product (ha! salon exclusive no more!). I've had some hair stylists tell me that the products sold here aren't the same mixtures that the salons sell, but I don't really believe it. I mean, isn't that fraud of some sort? I've always found the products I buy here are exactly the same quality and they are much, much cheaper. This place also has a waxing station should those pesky caterpillars get out of control. I had the service done once here and it was decent. A little more plucking than normal, but they did get rid of everything eventually. I know they do threading as well, but I'm pretty sure the staff aren't in every day, so it's probably a good idea to call ahead. If you're a beauty junkie or just looking to try a new product, check this location out. The staff are sweet as pie and super helpful. Note - parking is not on the main street (where you get into Spuds and Pizza Pizza), but at the back where you enter Payless.

Five stars for the actual trade secrets part of the location, it's clean, organized, and the staff…read moreare super knowledgeable and friendly. However I went in to get my lashes tinted here since it was only $20 and the location was convenient but let me tel you why I won't be going back. First of all, the lady in the back who does tinting had put the tint all over my eyes so I looked like a raccoon after. Good thing I didn't have any plans after having the tint. Also she put it on and pretty much forgot about me until she finished with all of her other clients so my eyes burnt from the amount of time she left the tint on. Finally and most surprisingly, she literally says "next time pay in cash not credit so you can tip me" since you can't give tips on the credit machine. Honestly I was shocked. Some people tip, and some people are working minimum wage and have university expenses to tend to.

Terra 20 has really gone downhill! It used to be a great store, but I think they sold it to new…read moreowners. First of all, their stock of cosmetics and some other products is extremely low in both stores, yet their web site shows full stock, which is deceiving. Secondly, you can only return an item to the original store location, which is frustrating if you've made a special trip. I won't be buying from Terra 20 anymore.

This review is for pre-Covid-19 times, as they are temporarily closed during the Pandemic…read more Terra20 is a great little eco-friendly store. They carry lots of green household products, health food items, natural cosmetics, sustainable clothing and more. Prices are on the higher end, but they do have a clearance section where they liquidate short-dated food items for fairly cheap. For clothes, they carry brands like prAna, Miik, and Toad and Co. There are fitting rooms at the back of the store. This location is huge. Much bigger than the one on Wellington Street. I love wandering around the store to see what they have. It's in the same plaza as Ikea, so the parking lot is always busy, but there are usually some available spots. Parking is free.

We had one American coffee and flat white! Both were very good! We also ordered Mount Celestia - Seven Heavenly Layers (a decadent mille-feuille) unfortunately it was stale, I had one bite and left the rest. Customer service was very good, very friendly staff. Paid $15 for all 3 items including tip. Lots of parking space available. Overall it was an interesting fun experience.
