Left the nail salon crying and bleeding…read more I have never written a 1 star review, but I need others to be warned so as not to have the same experience. This is a barber shop that has bought some nail equipment but does not have the training, equipment, or skill to advertise nail services. They are clearly nice people who are well-intentioned, but past reviews are from before a clear ownership change and do not reflect current state. We requested two gel main/pedis. They started on the pedicure, and after one hour no nail polish at all had been used. They had only removed one of our previous gel polish and the other hadn't even had nails trimmed (and had no previous polish on). Knowing we didn't have much time left, we asked them to abandon our feet and begin on at least one of our manicures. Unfortunately, the manicure ended up being awful! The equipment was shoddy and the nail polish was very poor quality. Previous nail colour was still visible as it wasn't fully removed, the gel was clumpy/bubbled, and one nail was clipped on the skin and bled. Picture included. By the time we finished 2.5 hours later, we were incredibly frustrated. Then, they charged us $160. 30% more than we pay at a high quality salon in Vancouver, for literally no services being done to any respectable degree. $50 each for two pedicures that didn't end up having any polish applied (and my nails weren't even cut) and $55 for a manicure that no nail salon should ever charge for. They were kind people, but are offering services they cannot follow through on. If they had been honest, we would have saved our time and money. Learn from us!

I've gone to Chatters Nanaimo twice now and both times received amazing hair cuts. This particular…read moretime was with Ry, and she was super knowledgeable about my hair right down to my hair type's Ph level. I have a curly pixie and she was not intimidated at all. I also booked this appointment online and I learned that it is okay to book any spot that is open but was advised to book ahead as they get quite busy. But the BEST part was, apparently they have a loyalty program and I ended up getting $12 off of the price! As if I needed a reason to go back to Chatters (both Nanaimo and Victoria have great hair dressers), now I'm definitely not getting my hair done anywhere else!

Terrible! I walked two steps into the store and the sales person/ stylist came right up to me, said…read morehi, she smiled, and then asked me "why do you look so tired?" I was stunned and asked her pardon, and she proceeded to say the SAME thing! I asked her if she indeed said that and she said yes. I didn't know what to do and was insulted, so I turned around and walked out. Needless to say, not a good experience and I left empty handed.

I've been going to this salon for years and can't recommend it highly enough…read more I was looking for a men's barbershop but decided to give this a try and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The owner Victoria, is attentive and listens to preferences while offering helpful suggestions. Hands down, this is the very best Salon in the Parksville area for men to get a 'barbershop' haircut. While I don't have personal experience, lol, they appear to have a steady clientele of services for the ladies. Well done, Victoria!!

I went here for a trim and ended up paying almost $100 with a tip, the cut alone was $80 plus tax…read more All I wanted was 1inch taken off my hair and some face framing and I came out with no face framing at all. For me it wasn't worth the money. When I asked how much it would be after the cut they said they charge based on experience and "she thinks she's at $80 now." I could have gotten this hair cut at first choice. Maybe they're better with colour but for a simple cut I wouldn't go here. Although, they were nice enough.

This salon was recommended to me from my former hair stylist in Edmonton who I hold in high esteem…read more I have gone to Carrie several times now and am very happy with her service. She has given me two great hair cuts now and I am looking forward to the next. She listens carefully to what you want and executes your needs well. The salon is larger than I expected. There are at least 4 stylists who are all very friendly and seem to equally great work. The boutique part is a small collection of clothing and accessories that are actually quite nice and would be something I would weave if I needed more clothing. They are a little on the smaller side and not too many large sizes. One can get an appoinment quite easily and often on the same day which is nice if you are visiting and in need of a professional to do your hair. Give it a try! I am sure you'll like it.
