My first experience with Cynthia's waxing services was today and I am pleased to say that it was…read morevery positive. I made an appointment for a Brazilian wax and am beyond satisfied with the results. Located within a 5 minute walk from St. Clair subway station, Cynthia's place was easy to get to. Her salon is a small space within a well maintained property that is pretty and serene. The salon itself is very modernly furnished, clean and welcoming. Cynthia is a consummate professional; engaging me throughout what could have been a very awkward, painful process to ensure I was comfortable. She is a very thorough aesthetician while also working quite quickly with sure, deft application of the wax and removal of the hair. The service took no more than 15 minutes - if that - and the pain was minimal (as minimal as getting your lady parts waxed can be). I highly recommend using Cynthia for this service and will definitely be visiting her again.

No one does brows like her. She truly is a master. Strangers have complimented my brows and they're all thanks to her (with a healthy does of genetics, no doubt).

I've gotten my brows semi-permanent tattoo about 4 times from 3 different brow artists. Antonia's been the most professional and best so far. She has an excellent shape and my brows look so natural, gorgeous and better than ever. Antonia made sure to give me a ton of information on proper pre-care and post-care instructions which is one reason why my brows look AMAZING. I followed it religiously.

Unfortunately the stylist I was originally set with…read morecould not do my hair, so another stylist (Brittany) was able to come in on short notice and get my hair to the level I was hoping to achieve. I feel like I lucked out, bc Brittany takes no short cuts and is highly knowledgeable about hair and styling products. She's also a Senior stylist and is trained in multiple outlets like cut, style, colour, and mens' and womens' cuts. After spending almost a whole day at this salon, the team made sure I ate, was taken care of and kept complimenting me no matter how abstract I looked with all that foil stop my head. Everyone here is super friendly, and genuinely want to do a good job. I see them taking their time and really enjoying what they do. I would highly recommend this facility as well as Brittany to any newcomer.

She said it is what I asked for. Do yourself a favor and stay clear. Thank goodness I didn't need a hair cut.

I recently got my eyebrows microbladed by Lina and I absolutely love them! They are so natural and…read moreexactly what I wanted- Perfectly full but not too perfect where they look microbladed. Environment: 5/5 She recently opened up a beautiful store right on Broadview & Gerrard. It's modern with a rustic edge to it and very bright and warm. The burnt orange couch she has at the front of the store reminds me of a modern take on the Friends cafe couch- very Instagram worthy! Customer Service: 5/5 When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by whoever is at the front reception desk. Professionalism: 5/5 During my first appointment, Lina was very thorough on what was to be expected - she said it would be like fine cat scratches, uncomfortable but not painful - tbh I fell asleep during the procedure. She mapped my face, and than used an app to show me all the angles matching up to the shape she drew out. At the end she gave me an after care package - with chocolate in it! Nice touch Her work speaks for itself, she is very experienced and doesn't do what's trendy- she does it all based on your face structure and current brows. Experience: 5/5 Immediately after my first appointment she booked my touch up appointment which was 8 weeks. My brows healed great- no scabbing thanks to her after care package. During my next appointment she displayed the same level of professionalism. This time- my skin was a bit more sensitive due to the time of the month, and she would continuously ask if the pain was okay. She's EXTREMLY talented, and I highly recommend going to her! Absolutely amazing!

Came here to get an eyebrow wax and tint, as I was out of town and couldn't see my usual waxer(for…read morecontext I've been getting my brows waxed for years with no issues). To start the waxer was incredibly rough, constantly grabbing my head and jerking it around, pressing into my eye socket and waxing the skin off my eyelids, not to mention at no point in time did she attempt to correct anything when I informed her that the witch hazel was burning (most likely due to my skin being ripped off), the only answer she had was I had "sensitive skin" (I do not have sensitive skin and have never had issues with waxing) I ended up leaving with swollen eye lids, ripped skin and a horrible tint job.

The waxing I had done was new to me so I can't really compare this experience to anywhere else…read more What I will say is the staff was very friendly and the woman doing the waxing was so quick. It was relatively painless so in that context she knew what she was doing. She also sold aftercare products that have helped to ensure no ingrowns. Things I didn't love: she was quick but not super precise. For instance, when I've had my eyebrows or legs done in the past, the aesthetician would wax, then go in with tweezers and make sure to get everything. That wasn't a thing here. She also had me change and lie on the table with my bottom half facing the door...a door she went in and out of several times which made me feel exposed should people walk by. And lastly, she put the used waxed strips on the table so when I rolled over, they might have stuck to me. The same happened with my sister who was there at another time so it seems this is just sort of how it works.

There was no one else there so it was very relaxing. This is a huge perk for me since I hate being in crowded salons where everyone can see what you're getting done. Nora is very down to earth, easy to talk to and friendly. The salon is definitely not fancy but this allows her to offer better prices. Nora has a strong personality and is very sure about what she wants to do. She takes skin tone and eye colour into consideration, which is important. I showed her a photo for the lowlights/highlights I wanted but she didn't like it. I ended up with an all-over colour and highlights over top. The highlights were very well done though I'm worried about roots with an all-over base colour. I'd suggest bringing several photos and being very clear if you want her to follow one of the photos. Otherwise she will be happy to decide for you. I will return. If you're looking for a no-frills downtown salon this might be your place. Book a consultation. You have nothing to lose.
