This is a no frills but quick and efficient operation. I have been to places that look nicer- it has more of a bare bones clinical feel than one of those spa like environments but I imagine as business grows that stuff will come. As a newer business, the priority seems to be on providing what is needed for delivering a proper technical service as priority, which I can't fault. My wax service itself was excellent. Walking in was the smell of disinfectant and looking around it seemed really clean and sanitized practices. I love that she used hard wax. I find that a rarity and but my wax was so clean. I didn't really notice the pain or discomfort since it was so minimal compared to other waxing I've done. Even as it grew back in I had no ingrown hairs and I swear it grew back slower. Waxing is incredibly tricky with black skin as the hair is coarser and ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation are a concern. So if you can wax black hair well you can wax any hair well. I have had waxing done for over a decade at various establishments but here I really saw the difference highly skilled and knowledgeable specialist makes here.

The first time I went to Lynn, she had told me that a Brazilian wax was $35. I got my Brazilian and upper lip waxed, I payed $40. She included a 15% discount since it was my first time. I made an appointment with her for my next wax. When I went in that time she accused me of not paying for my upper lip, confused I asked her why I paid $40 then if a Brazilian is $35 and I got a discount on top of that. She then told me a Brazilian is $40... I only got a Brazilian that time and paid $45. I respect Lynn and for what she does, but I too deserve the same respect. Great for first timers! Don't make this your wax lady though!!!!! I went from paying $35 for a Brazilian to $65!!!!!!!!!!!! That's almost double!

I've been using VIP Glam Girl for about 9 months now. I found out about her services through Brass…read moreVixens Pole Studio downtown. VIP Glam Girl is a mobile beauty service who does hair extensions, eyelash extensions and airbrush tanning. The owner is amazing and super friendly to deal with. She really knows her stuff and the best thing about this service is they are completely mobile!!! She was doing airbrush tanning sessions at the studio when I met her and have been using her ever since. She comes out to my house and brings her rolling studio with her. I've had hair extensions done twice now using cold fusion over the popular hot fusion. With the cold fusion there is little to no damage to my own hair. She uses premium russian hair and the first go around lasted me 6 months! I'm now on my second set of extensions and it's been 3 months and hair is still going strong with little loss of strands. I've also been getting eyelash extensions done with refills about every month or so. I am so in love with my lashes I can't even tell you! While I normally go a tanning bed at Desert Sun in Woodbridge I have used her airbrush tanning on a few occasions and totally loved it. After some previous bad experiences with spray tanning I was pleasantly surprised with the even tan she hand sprayed on me. Lasted about a week or so and it was a nice golden bronze. She uses only top quality products when it comes to hair, lashes and tanning and you just can't beat the convenience of having everything done in the comfort of your own home. I'm a VIP Glam Girl fan for life!!!

It's a husband and wife team that own it i believe . It's small- only one of them working when I've been there.. that means you get all the attention/ focus. I moved away from Toronto/ my permanent hairdresser and had to find a new one. I went to many places. Finally found this salon ...I used to go to Vidal Sassoon in Toronto or to hair Xtacy in Burlington (stopped going to the latter because Carmen, who used to care about hair and his customers, stopped. A long time ago. He got greedy and lazy. Shame- but 20 years will do that. His full talent may be worth what he charges but NO ONE gets that from him anymore- SO entitled. I never had a falling out with him either, he just deserves this honorable mention for god-awful behaviour). The male owner REALLY listens to your requests. And he can execute them. Only negative; he could answer the phone less during - yet I do understand he is the only one there. Psa - i have never gotten dye / bleach there. Only cause I am really quite adept with bleach myself and it costs a fortune to upkeep unless you do it at home. The cuts are totally worth going for - I'm very very picky with my hair cuts. Price is good for his talent level. Like 150 for two. He cuts my partners hair also. He sometimes has hair longer than shoulder but mostly has a shaggy cut that's above the shoulder. He does an excellent job whether it's men's or women's - also he takes the style I want on my man, and he alters it a bit in the front and top so that his hair looks full rather than usual stylists who just follow the cut with no consideration for how your hair is in texture,, thin/thickness, etc. He does cuts that translate on curly hair or straight hair (I got an adapted wolf cut style last time). I've got waves and ringlets mixed and I am a bleached blonde/ level 10. I don't like the owners wife's cuts as much as his, though....just my preference!

I discovered this clinic through Groupon and I'm so glad that I took a chance coming here…read more I purchased a deal for a series of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, but to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure it was going to be worth it. I've had IPL treatments in the past at other places and never felt they were very effective. But my dermatologist was recommending a combination of IPL and microdermabrasion to combat redness I've been experiencing from rosacea in the past few years. So when I saw the Groupon for IPL at an actual laser clinic, I figured I'd try it out. My initial package was for a series of four treatments. Most places suggest a series of 4-6 treatments, and this clinic was no different in that regard. Where they do stand out from other clinics, is in the quality of the service provided. During my first appointment, I noticed a big difference in the whole experience right away. The technician really took her time to look at my skin and discuss my concerns, and she really seemed to want to help me. Other places I've been to in the past have done treatments, and then quickly moved on to up-selling on products or additional services. At LS Laser Clinic, I've felt like the end result is just as important to them as it is for me. They do carry the Dermalogica line of skin care, but I've never been pushed to buy anything. I will likely purchase the calming gel, though, as it's very soothing after IPL. If you've never had it done before, the treatment feels like a rubber band snapping against your skin. Actually, more like a rubber band made of molten steel. Just kidding. I guess it depends on your tolerance level, but I've had IPL treatments in other places that could be described as mildly uncomfortable at most. But here, it's pretty intense. Maybe the equipment is better, or the treatment is more thorough than other places, I don't know. But for me, it's quite painful and my face is usually puffy and quite red after. While the redness goes away within an hour or two, the swelling can last for a couple of days for me. I have quite sensitive skin, though, so my results may not be typical. So it's been several months since I started going here and I'm now on my second series of treatments. I waited to write a review until I could see serious results. While I could see drastic improvements after my 3rd treatment, I knew it would be better to wait at least until my 6th treatment to really see a change. I honestly can't believe the difference in my skin since my first appointment. The technician, Faezeh, took photos in my first appointment and it's amazing how much better my skin looks - both skin tone and texture - since that first visit. I still have two more sessions, but I'm absolutely thrilled with the improvement so far. I highly recommended LS Laser Clinic to anyone who is looking to improve their skin using IPL. They do provide other services, but I can only comment on what I've actually experienced with IPL.
