I have owed Dawn a review for far longer than I feel comfortable admitting. I keep telling myself…read morethat this is ok, though, because the longer I go while STILL being able to show a photo of my AMAZING eyebrows, the better for Dawn. (Right???) Truth be told . . . I have yet to master the "selfie"; I cannot seem to capture one that does not show hints of my mother in my face. (No offence, Mom . . .) It has been nine months since my initial appointment with Dawn, seven-and-a-half months since my touch-up. And as one can see by the photos (which I only took at the time of writing this review), my eyebrows still look incredible. For the record, I am not wearing any makeup in these photos. My experience with Dawn was just great. She prepared me thoroughly for what to expect, and her salon is immaculate. She is incredibly professional, and epitomizes the definition of "perfectionist". I live in Toronto, and getting my eyebrows done by Dawn was definitely worth the two trips to Kingston. HIGHLY recommended! Thanks, Dawn!

I've been coming to Luce for almost a year now, on a tip from a friend who used to live in…read moreKingston. I like the smaller atmosphere that's here, rather than some of the other salons downtown that have expanded to larger and less personal vibes over time. I also love the personalized service here. I guess what I'm saying is that the folks at Luce really do build a relationship with their clients, and with my stylist Erica, I always feel like we're just picking up the conversation from where we left off the last time I was in. They also have a killer referral and frequent customer program. If you refer someone to your stylist, they'll save $20 on the first cut and you'll save $20 on your next cut. And, as a regular, every 5th cut is free! There are a good range of products for sale here, but there is never pressure to purchase, which I always appreciate. So if you decide to check them out, you should probably ask for Erica, and tell her I sent you!

I went to Luce this past weekend as part of my friend's bridal party. They were great at getting…read moreus all started on time and seemed excited to be part of my friend's big day. In the past, I have had some atrocious updo's (we are talking cry-your-eyes-out-and-wash-it-all-out-when-you-get-home updo's), so I was pretty nervous to say the least. My stylist, Allister, was very friendly and quickly put me at ease. I showed him some pictures of the side-pony style that I had in mind and he completely exceeded my expectations. The style that he created was far more intricate and beautiful than I ever could have ever imagined and looked great from all angles! What's even better is that it lasted all day long. It still looked perfect after hours on the dance floor that evening. I really wish that he lived in Toronto as Kingston is an awfully long way to go for a good stylist! I am not sure of the names of the other stylists who worked on the wedding party, but everyone's hair looked wonderful! Highly recommend this salon!

I made a last-minute brazilian wax appointment (1 hour before I wanted to go) and Maria…read moreaccommodated me really well. This is my first experience of getting waxed outside of Toronto in Canada, and I was really happy to find such good service in Kingston! The salon was clean, albeit a little bit small. In particular, Maria was really good! She was thorough, clean, kept me distracted (i informed her how sensitive i am in that area), and she accommodated my pain threshold somehow! The price is $50 for a brazilian wax, but students get 15% off so I ended up with a $48 bill, before tip. This is a little bit more expensive than what I'm used to in Toronto, but after the discount it's affordable, and for the quality and time spent I think it's worth it! Will be back here again, and highly recommend it!

The ladies at Lush are fantastic. I've been to three or more nail salons throughout Kingston in the…read morepast year, and this one is my go-to going forward. The lounge is small and intimate, so there aren't going to be a lot of customers crowding your space. Appointments should be booked in advance - they will happily take walk-in's, but it's more likely you'll need to book and come back a little later on, anyway. Besides pedicures, which is what lured me in after a friend recommended them, they offer mani's, waxing, blow-outs, facials and a few other services (all well-detailed on their website). The staff are very friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the place. I'd absolutely recommend Lush to anyone looking for good nail service in kingston. Prices are reasonable, but do note - Students and Military get awesome discounts, so that should make it even more enticing!

I do not have words for my experience at MP nails. I had called for a walk-in, which I was so…read moregrateful to receive and the man began to prep my nails, and then asked me for a reference photo. He asked me about the length, to which I responded that he went too long, and in response he in essence cut off the entire rest of the nail. I attempted to tell him they were too short, to which he began shouting at me that it had been what I asked for. We continued and I asked for an almond shape, as he was doing a round one. He then began screaming at me that I was wrong. When I followed up on my request he began shouting, screaming and furtherly grabbed my telephone from my hand to show me my photo, disregarding what I was very meekly attempting to communicate with him. His wife joined him, and knowing that I did not speak anything but English, started insulting me. After 10 minutes I received a half-hearted apology and a $5 discount, however I ended up just walking out with only the uneven acrylic on my nails. Not only was the quality of the service despicable, but I felt genuinely threatened in the presence of this salon.

It's loud, there is a lot of chatting among those working and those who are getting their nails done.
