The place is clean and welcoming. The staff are very nice. Though I'll never again accept to have my hair done by other than Shokhan known by Sho now. Her skill is amazing. You can tell by the way she holds her brush. As for dying my hair, she immediatly new what colour I should go for. My recent visit to the salon was last week when I had my hairlight done. It was amazingly beautiful! She has a magic touch! I believe she's an asset wherever she works.

I have also taken my boys in for haircut with Sierra and Ginny who were also fabulous. They both did a great job with the cuts and even talked to them about how to properly wash their hair.

She listened to everything I said, then performed her magic! We were both very chatty and she was still able to focus and provide me with a gorgeous new "do"! I like it so much that I decided to go back for a colour today. I was going to let my grey grow out, but decided to get it coloured even though I've had some really bad experiences with colouring at other chains. Not here at Chatters! Kanelle knew how to colour out the grey, then do the ends. I absolutely LOVE my hair and the price was awesome! As a matter of fact, I'm going in for highlights in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see and will update again after the highlights! Thanks Kanelle! You have a new lifelong customer! *Edit for Highlights. OMG! These are the best highlights I've ever had. I was expecting to pay about $300 like I have at other salons, but no... not even close! Not only that, but Kanelle even did a few at the back, under my hair so that I have some showing when I put my hair up! I've never gotten that elsewhere! CHATTERS H.O., MAKE SURE YOU HOLD ON TO KANELLE!

Initially I wanted to go to this spa for their salt room. However, I was not very impressed with…read morethe size of the room, and it lacked a peaceful setup. I ended up still getting a pedicure, where the lady ended up cutting my foot twice! One of the cuts lasted a whole week and made me very nervous about contracting something or risking infection. Thankfully, it did not. The lady was not friendly and obviously distracted during my pedicure since she ended up cutting me two times. The photo below indicates the worse of the cut, which made my foot tender and difficult to walk and perform sports in my active lifestyle. They were very accommodating after I asked for some sort of adjustment to my final bill, which they finally did agree to. I will not go back even though my daughter's haircut turned out great.

I had the best experience here on the weekend! My husband bought me the "Parental Escape" wellness…read morepackage for my birthday, which includes the 50-minute Exhalo scalp treatment that includes hand and arm treatment, a 45-minute relaxing Swedish massage, and one hour in the salt room. I arrived about 10 minutes early on Saturday morning, checked in, hung up my coat, and waited on the small bench. I didn't have to take off my boots, but I should have grabbed a paid of the sandals at the front, as there were none in the back. It's a much smaller space than I expected, with the "spa" part is at the back, hair on the right, and nails on the left. I only saw one small room for massages and spa treatments and another one across from it for the salt room. The front has all of the products and gifts, including a bunch of local brands, but it's also where people check in, pay, and wait, so it's very tight and makes it hard to look at the products, as well as social distance. I had Maureen for both my scalp treatment and my massage, and she was great! She asked me which one I wanted first. I wasn't sure and asked which one was more relaxing, and she said usually the scalp one gets her, so I did massage, salt room, then scalp. The massage was great and nice, harder pressure like I prefer. I asked what the difference was between the relaxing Swedish massage and the RMT massage and she said the RMT massage typically has more pressure and tries to get out knots. The RMT can also be claimed for insurance, while the relaxing massage cannot). Maureen was kind enough to ask if I wanted to do the front of my legs and other parts of my body instead of hands and arms because those were already included in the scalp treatment and this way we could maximize the massage. Really appreciated this suggestion! I wish I paid more attention to the package details because I thought it was an hour long instead of 45 minutes. It goes by quickly! The salt room is also much smaller than I expected, but I enjoyed the vibe of the room with the soft orange and blue hues. There are two anti-gravity chairs, but I was the only one booked in there for that time, so I could wear whatever clothing I liked. It was my first time and I was told comfy clothing is fine, but some people wear bikinis and swimwear because it's better to expose your problematic skin areas to the healing salt. I was also told to bring snacks, which I did but didn't end up eating, and instead I was allowed to just take off my mask for a little bit to breathe in the medical grade salt that gets pumped out. Again, I was the only one in there with the door shut, otherwise I absolutely would have kept it on. I also got a robe and a blanket, and had the option of turning the heat of the electric fireplace up or down. You could also get a massage in there, though I'm sure the protocol with the mask and fireplace is different. Maureen said she'd knock before coming in, but I only fell asleep for about 10 minutes (it's hard to relax!), but it was nice. I would have napped longer if I could. There's no clock in there, so it's a great way to unplug (minus the couple of photos I took at the beginning when I was getting settled). The only downside is that the room is right across from some of the hair stations, so I could hear the hair dryers and conversations over the relaxing music. The scalp treatment was like nothing I've ever had before. They massage warm essential oils onto your neck, shoulders, and scalp. They then wrap your hair in a heated towel while you get a hydration face mask and get more massage, plus your hands in wax with gloves on. Once they take the towel off, you get some cool drops (oils? serum?) massaged into your scalp. Some of the hot stuff, like the towel behind your neck and the wax, are really hot, so be prepared for that, especially if you're sensitive to heat, though the burning sensation goes away pretty quickly. You can definitely come out of this one a little woozy, so take a few minutes before sitting up and leaving to drive home. Maureen was such a pleasure and really took great care of this new mama. She was really understanding of all of my issues, like tense shoulders, lower back pain, postpartum hair loss, etc. I enjoyed it all so much that I ended up buying my husband a gift certificate for the same package! Just need to remember that the tip is not included. Hot tip: If you're looking for an actual parental escape, don't book on a Sunday, as it's family day at the spa.

My brother in law suggested Lasting Impressions because he has been going there for years. I also had a coworker suggest this hair salon, I took a leap of faith and decided to go ahead and book an appointment. The receptionist was extremely friendly and was able to fit me in for the evening. When I arrived at the salon, I was received with a cordial salute, the receptionist was super nice and she was trying to get to know me better. Since I love talking I just had fun telling her about myself. I was paired with Joe who took the time to examine my hair needs and styled my hair to suit my face shape. I was given a VIP treatment, I cannot say enough about my experience. I still ave to drop by to buy my hair treatment..I can't wait to go back.

Ok so not the best decor on the planet and not sure how I feel about sitting in my robe in a second…read morewaiting lounge with other robed ladies (never experienced that before and it's kind of weird). Once you get past all that, the spa is great simply because of the variety of services they offer. Any place that uses Dermalogica is on the right track. I only had a little bit of time to devote to a spa so I just went in for a facial. My therapist was seriously amazing. On top of being a great aesthetician, she was really professional yet fun to talk to. Usually I hate being quiet in spas (I know, I'm weird) and she was great about it. She let me start the conversations so that if I wanted to just be quiet and relax, I could have been. Very tactful! So despite the lacklustre decor and ambience, I will give it 5 stars just for the range of services and excellent therapists (from my visit anyway). With 12 options for a facial, a plastic surgeon on call and hydrotherapy on the menu, it's hard to find a comparable spa in Ottawa.
