No better place for a men's cut in North Bay right now…read more After experimenting with a few other places since my move into town, I've been coming to Marc as a regular client. He stays on top of new trends and is trained as both a barber and a stylist, so he's got the chops to make you look sharp. Best of all, he keeps things fresh - don't know a damn thing about good hair? Just ask Marc what's up and he'll give you the latest. I tend to know what I want coming into Oaks but if Marc is feeling particularly inspired by something he's seen recently, I'm 100% comfortable telling him to go for it. It's always a good result. Now, is the place perfect? For $25 a cut, yes. That said, I'd like an option to pay $30 -$35 for a 45-minute cut, personally. Taking the extra time to check for straggling hairs, throw in a final rinse before adding product, and then spend a few solid minutes styling until it's ready for a night out would be worthwhile for those of us who appreciate an uncompromising attention to detail. Additionally, this place direly needs a website given it's tucked-away location (with online booking - it is the 21st century after all - and 'before and after' pics to showcase the tremendous talent hiding out in this place). All-in-all, can't beat it for a men's cut.

After being disappointed by one of the other spots ( which is unfair to judge -- as it was a discount place), i finally got a haircut i was happy with. I didn't have to wait very long on a walk in -- less than five minutes and pretty sure it was 26 bucks which is pretty standard for a male salon cut. The staff was very engaging and personal -- i'll be back in 3 weeks!

I come to North Bay, Canada often for work and this time, I really wanted to treat myself! I…read moreconvinced myself that making the 7 hour drive (EACH WAY!) to Niagara Falls for a quick turnaround trip wasn't worth it and decided to pamper myself instead! And boy...did I get pampered! I relied on trusty Yelp of course to find me a great spa. Granted Astorville is about a 25-min drive from North Bay but it was definitely worth it! Tucked away in this gorgeously kept garden, you drive down the one-way dirt path through all the gloriousness, and you're transformed to another world. There's a cute barn to your left and the spa/bed&breakfast/garden in front of you and to your right. I love Love LOVE cute, homey places that make me feel like I've stepped into another world. Imagine Disneyland but as a spa...minus the screaming children and overpriced food, ok ok just imagine the "happiest place on Earth"... That's how I felt. Turns out they reserved the ENTIRE place just for me because they like their guests to feel welcome and relaxed. I met Marianne, who's the owner of Hummingbird Hill Spa, and she was so nice, I even got to have lunch with her served by her husband! Everything was homecooked and tailored to my nut allergies which I greatly appreciated. Delicious bacon Caesar salad, crab cakes, white wine, and dessert!! I'm a sucker for good food... :) I booked a full day of luxury from 9:30am until 7pm. If I came again, I don't think I'd do so many treatments in a row, I just got so excited! I think I would limit my experience to around 3-4 hours or so and maybe take advantage of the hot tub they have. Here's a list of my treatments: + Creme de la Creme ($390) - Deluxe 4 layer facial - Hot stone neck and shoulder massage - Massage with RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) - Spa manicure - Body sugaring/exfoliation - Full body moisturizing - Lunch - Time to soak in the hot tub + Hot Stone Pedicure ($85) + Eye Contour Treatment ($59) Everything was great! I think if I came back I would skip the manicure/pedicure. The hot wax felt great (spa manicure) but I just don't think I have the patience to sit around and have my nails worked on (my own personal preference - NOTE: first time getting manicure/pedicure). However, I LOVED the massage! Katy (sp?) was great and really listened to all my requests. I get massages a lot for back issues and after a great, very focused treatment, she was able to give me some advice for strengthening my back. Overall, I love this place to pieces. Marianne told me they were thinking of selling to retire and travel the world (JEALOUS!!). If they find a reasonable buyer, I really hope the next person will keep this place as amazingly personable, beautiful, and friendly as it was when I went. It takes a lot to impress me to this degree so...5 STARS! :)) Conclusion: DEFINITELY give this place a try if you're in the area. Totally worth the money and so far, better than any place I've been to in the Southern California area. P.S. Pictures to come! :)
