I had the face sugaring here recently and the service was actually great, but I only give 1 star…read morebecause my forehead broke out really badly the day after. I don't know what they put in it, i've never had a reaction like that to any skin care treatment before. I don't have sensitive skin, and my face has never had this many blemishes. It looks awful, and it was really disappointing because I did it right before my vacation. I wouldn't recommend the face sugaring, especially for first timers- also its not gonna take ALL the hair you want out but rather about 80%, there are spots on my face that the sugaring couldn't get so it's not worth the price. However, I give it 2 stars overall for their service and the leg waxing, which turned out pretty well.

I have experienced almost the full range of services at Shades and have been uniformly let down, with the exception of a massage I received their five years ago, which remains the best I have ever had. In terms of other services, the waxing was incomplete and the aftercare sloppy, leaving me feeling more like a piece of meat than a cared for client. My manicure had errors, and my pedicure featured a one minute massage, generally falling fall short of it's "spa" title. All in all, the owner is a lovely woman and I wish her all the best, but wish they would address service shortfalls!

Left the nail salon crying and bleeding…read more I have never written a 1 star review, but I need others to be warned so as not to have the same experience. This is a barber shop that has bought some nail equipment but does not have the training, equipment, or skill to advertise nail services. They are clearly nice people who are well-intentioned, but past reviews are from before a clear ownership change and do not reflect current state. We requested two gel main/pedis. They started on the pedicure, and after one hour no nail polish at all had been used. They had only removed one of our previous gel polish and the other hadn't even had nails trimmed (and had no previous polish on). Knowing we didn't have much time left, we asked them to abandon our feet and begin on at least one of our manicures. Unfortunately, the manicure ended up being awful! The equipment was shoddy and the nail polish was very poor quality. Previous nail colour was still visible as it wasn't fully removed, the gel was clumpy/bubbled, and one nail was clipped on the skin and bled. Picture included. By the time we finished 2.5 hours later, we were incredibly frustrated. Then, they charged us $160. 30% more than we pay at a high quality salon in Vancouver, for literally no services being done to any respectable degree. $50 each for two pedicures that didn't end up having any polish applied (and my nails weren't even cut) and $55 for a manicure that no nail salon should ever charge for. They were kind people, but are offering services they cannot follow through on. If they had been honest, we would have saved our time and money. Learn from us!

I suffer from a kind of rare condition called 'Heel Fat Pad Atrophy'. conservative treatment over…read morea six month time die NOT relieve my heel pain. It was bad enough I had to cut back on dog walks (out Doodle was not happy with this). Reviewing the medical literature I found out there was a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of my condition. After multiple phone calls to clinics offering dermal fillers (mostly for cosmetic procedures) I found the practice of Dr. Anna Sylwestrowicz, MD . The office was very accommodating with my unique inquiry and agreed to meet with me just to discuss my diagnosis and treatment plan. One of the most vital requirements for a good medical outcome is a solid 'Doctor-Patient' relationship that starts with an open and frank discussion. I found my conversation with Dr. Anna (as she prefers to be addressed) to be all a patient could ask for. We jointly came up with a plan, discussed the various dermal fillers on the market, her experience with their use, possible outcomes and hoped for outcomes. I agreed to the procedure. Three weeks before the start of my hike, Dr. Anna injected my left heel pad with dermal filler. The procedure itself was tolerable and I walk out of the office with an order to 'take it easy' with my walking. For the first 5-6 days I was sore at the injection site but that was too be expected. After a week, I restarted my daily dog walks (much to the pleasure of our Doodle) and gradually increased my mileage. On April 23rd, 2026 I found my self hiking south on the Appalachian Trail from the small village of Damascus, Virginia. I was planned on keeping my daily mileage under 20km while carrying 15kg of pack. At that point, my heel was pain free. I hiked for a month pain free. I ended this section of the Trail in the very tourist town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This was a distance of 400km-pain free! Considering the pain, I was in prior to the injection of dermal filler this was a remarkable medical outcome. I am very, very pleased. As for the future, there are 333km left for me to complete. I will be back to the Trail in September for finish that section. Thank you to Dr. Anna and her staff in joining me on this journey!

I feel like she was going above and beyond. Will definitely be my Victoria clinic.
