It means a lot that there was someone who heard my worries and was able to put my mind at ease. The energy of the shop is also so CALM but in the best way, definitely calming self care vibes.

They did not give me what I asked for and the lady doing my nails could not have been licensed because the lack of basic knowledge to do GEL-X NAILS, the most BASIC nail service, is absolutely unreal. Not to mention, it is rule number 1 to not get the clear gel-x glue on bare skin to prevent contact dermatitis, and this lady, gets her nasty gloves with all of the polish all on my skin and cures it. I could not say anything this deep into the appointment because I feel that the damage had already been done. This salon, or at least this worker is nothing less than a biohazard and should NOT be doing nails until PROPERLY TRAINED. I have never been so speechless, horrible job.

My take away is that if you've never tried "sugaring"- just stick with waxing. Ive had better experiences at other waxing locations and will continue to go back to them after my eyebrows grow back (lol).

Ginger literally changed my life within one week by carefully listening to my skin conditions and prescribing an amazing skin care regimen that targeted my sensitive and dry skin. I had no idea that I was over exfoliating (if a little is good then more is better, right? Wrong.) As per Ginger's instruction, I cut back on exfoliation and started using Eminence Calm Skin Chamomile Cleanser daily, along with Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum and Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer. Within just a few days, I saw and felt results in the texture of my skin. By day 5, I felt 5 years younger and was receiving an abundance of compliments. Ginger helped me achieve my ideal skin by carefully listening to my issues and solving the problems in just one shot. I am so grateful and highly recommend her for your skincare needs. She genuinely cares about her clients and is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. If you haven't already, book a facial with her ASAP. It will change your life! read more

I only recently "discovered" Blendily and am already a huge fan. Although it can be intimidating to…read morewalk into a niche skincare storefront, the store on Alberta smells *amazing* and the staff are quite helpful. (You can even catch a peek of the kitchen behind the checkout counter.) Now, I am a person who does not have a "skincare routine," nor do I desire to create one; I came to Blendily for practical reasons: To look for a new shampoo which didn't come in a plastic bottle. Although they were out of stock for shampoo bars, I was added to a wait list for the next batch. Lo and behold, I received an email within a few weeks letting me know they were back in stock. This was super efficient, and while I could have saved $5 by purchasing it online since they also sent a coupon (!), I went back to the store and ended up buying a shave bar alongside the shampoo. The staff and store felt gender-inclusive; most scents are neither overtly masculine nor superfluously feminine. I have been satisfied with both of my soap bars, although my shower looks obnoxious with a stack of soap cakes piled up on the shelf. (People with things like a "skincare routine" would probably invest in a soap bag or something, which they also sell at Blendily.) The only modification I made to my purchases was to chop off the flowers and herbs decorating one side of the soap / shampoo bars, because while they were certainly beautiful, it felt quite impractical for chamomile flowers to fall into my hair while washing. For those not ready to commit to an entire bar of specialty soap, homemade lotion, or other full-size products, Blendily sells trial sized bottles of most things, including soap ends for $5. I'd definitely recommend signing up for their email list and/or checking out their online store.
