A birthday gift certificate took me to the salon and boy, was I disappointed! Lovely ambiance, fancy glass of sparkling water, very friendly nail tech. Very amateurish nail cut and pedicure. Polish didn't cover the nails properly. To top it off, the bill with a tip was nearly $100!! This is a lot more than I would normally spend for a well-done pedicure. Sorry.... I won't be returning! read more

I first tried out Sour Apple when I purchased a "Breakfast at Tiffanys" facial from Groupon at a discounted rate. I live 5 minutes away and never even knew this spa was there! The facial was awesome and I've since gone annually (post winter blahs) for the same facial. They use very high quality products and you can tell the difference from cheaper joints. I've also had a pedi done in their adorable main room, complete with custom-made pedi couches and gorgeous decor. Very swank. The pedi was ok. It was very different as they use a tool similar to a dremel on your tootsies! Odd but it worked. I've had a Brazilian done there as well (TMI?), and the girl doing it was very professional and quick. I won't say it was an enjoyable experience but she certainly helped me get through it! Hah! This adorable gem in gorgeous Bonson Landing needs more attention! Go see them!! read more

Arrived at this establishment for a pedicure- offered a glass of wine. Directed to sit at the bench seating, when tbe technician became quite upset at me for having shellac on my nails. Upon attempt to inquire into the concern, she continued to express how upset she was that there was shellac and that I didn't tell her. She seemed quite frantic, tossing some things around. I had not been asked when the appointment was booked if shellac was on my nails. She continued to emphasize that as I didn't tell her, my pedicure would run short, I would have to pay extra and that I have affected her day as she has other clients. I immediately apologized however I felt very uncomfortable and almost wanted to cancel the whole experience. She told me she would be grinding down my nails for the shellac removal. I requested she not, and she continued to frantically speak at me. I was in the chair for an hour. Which was quite uncomfortable as you have to slide forward to get your feet into the water. They didn't offer me any more wine either. Boooo! After the hour was up, I came out with a very disappointing pedicure. I left, after paying my $89.00 (with tip). I've just moved here from downtown Vancouver, where I lived for 10 years and received pedicures from many different places. This was not only the most expensive pedicure I've gotten but the most disappointing. I encourage you go to elsewhere where you'll be treated a little more kindly, spend a little less and come out feeling a tad happier. Don't give into the wine! read more

Ugh I hate giving bad reviews but.. I have given this place SO many chances. I want to like it because it's close to me. They market it well so I keep trying it thinking, "maybe something has changed.." but unfortunately it's only getting worse. My appointment today: I was looking forward to a mini spa day. When I first entered through the doors I was disappointed by a lukewarm welcome from the staff. They were too busy on their phones and trying on clothing that they just got in stock. I got waxing done on my upper lip and the lady put GOBS of wax on my face.. repeatedly in the same spot. I hardly have any hair there; I'm not sure why she used so much wax but even with that she didn't do an efficient job. Next was a massage. WORST MASSAGE OF MY LIFE. I am not even exaggerating. Hardly any pressure at all. The massage therapist's hand were way too dainty and it felt like she was tickling me, not massaging me. Seriously. The bed's heat was on fire and burning my skin. I asked her to turn it off but by the time it cooled down I was sweating. No pillow for my neck so when she turned me over on my back my head was sticking through the face hole. I'll end with a positive. My pedicure was good!! Overpriced but good. I would not recommend this place to anyone in any shape or form. Unless you want an overpriced pedicure. Then go for it.;) read more

Sour Apple Beauty Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Pitt Meadows, British Columbia

I did permanent straightening and after a week a i did my first wash and the hair is totally damaged and no one can say I did something to my hair the straightening has gone away my hair looks like plastic and when I went their to show my hair she said that's not guarantee and for the service I was not satisfied as I spend 250$ I want it back as it totally damage I don't know what to do and when I asked my money she shouted and said I won't give the money back complain where ever you want . The thing is if the result is not good that's not the thing but my hair are super damaged and on top of that she did not responded well that's how customers should be treated I have never seen that . I was so happy in first place and now I hate that place because it damaged my hair and she did not even care to give my money back and nor any solution or treatment that she can give me that's so unprofessional. I won't recommend and I would say if uh really care for your hair for saving little money don't go here go to good professionals at-least they would give the money and guarantee . read more

Rachel appears to have years of experience having been in the microblading business for quite some time now. Her Instagram posts are loaded with photos and work that I was actually fairly impressed with. She is a friendly gal but that's business etiquette aside. She works out of a stand alone salon in Pitt Meadows called Sour Apple, mind you her website doesn't mention she's located inside a salon. So the first appointment already left us lost not knowing that it was an actual beauty and hair salon that we were supposed to be looking for. I made the mistake of referring a family member and I felt horrible after the poor customer service we were given after the first appointment. There was no invitation for additional questions post procedure. No take home instructions and no follow up was made. Questions and concerns post procedure is VERY clearly unwelcome and deterred, since provided that there is NO way you can possibly reach this woman over the phone. The day of my referral's touch up appointment, Rachel was working from her "Kits" location (a rental room smaller than a 500sqft downtown condo). There was a mix up in address location, but GET THIS! Who do you call to clarify and coordinate?!?! Without a reachable phone number....YOU CAN'T. It frazzles me how even when I called the salon in Pitt Meadows, they refused to give me Rachel's direct phone number. I had to communicate back and forth with the receptionist who had to call her on her own separately. So imagine this, I call the salon, the salon hangs up, the salon girl calls Rachel, the salon girl then calls me back, salon girl goes ok let me ask her, hangs up on me, then 5 mins later calls me back, now repeat a few more times. OK! Now if reading this didn't already annoy you....try being in MY shoes!!! I have my own business also but this back and forth, lack of efficiency already drove me up the wall. I don't have the leisure to play "telephone" I mean...you're a business correct? People are paying you for a service correct? And we aren't talking chump change. For a $600 microblading appointment, I expected far more professionalism than this. Not only did I feel bad for my referral left standing outside on the block circling in the rain but I was thoroughly EMBARRASSED that I had ever recommended BrowBabe to anyone. My referral was left walking around the block for 45mins before I was able to reach Rachel over EMAIL!!!! She responded everything over EMAIL!!! Finally several emails after, the proper address was clarified, turns out it was in some tiny room on the second floor she rents with no signage whatsoever. I understand the need to separate personal life from your work life when you run your own business. If you don't want your personal phone number shared, then use an additional phone as your business line but it's never...NEVER acceptable not be available for your clients when they need to reach you. Rachel simply doesn't care for her clients the way she should. Microblading artistry is gaining so much popularity over the last few years, she's definitely not amazing enough to compensate for the poor customer service and care....most of all the lack of direct contact information availability. read more

Very inexperienced tech. Did not know how to do proper gel nails. Did not know how to do French tips. One nail came off in her hand. 7 more came off within 24 hours. I have tried to contact management several times in several ways but they will not respond read more

Wonderful safe service today from Sara at Sour Apple. Charming, polite and solicitous service from beginning to end. Thank you! We will be back. read more

Went to Sour Apply to get my pedi done. Service was good, all girls seem very friendly. I was offered drinks (even wine) and it wasn't a long wait. Not very big choice on nail polish. Seats were comfy enough, but room didn't have TV and it was a bit boring during my procedure (I love when they play chick flicks in nail salons, time goes faster). My soaking time was too short as it seems girl that was doing my pedi was in a rush and whole procedure felt like go go go, I like to relax and enjoy myself. I barely had any massage done and whole pedi session went to quick . I end up paying over $60 for regular nail polish and for such a rural/ suburban spot its too expensive, any other place in the area is much cheaper. Defiantly left sour taste in my mouth because of mediocre pedi and over paying for it. read more

I went for the first time with my daughter to Sour Apple Beauty Bar what a mistake. We both got a mani/pedi done don't get me wrong the girls that did it were very friendly they offered coffee tea water even wine. Before I left i had to get touch ups done on my nails as they looked like they were bubbling. The next day I woke up and I couldn't believe my finger nails had all started chipping. I called my daughter and she told me one of hers had chipped as well. She told me when she was getting her nail polish on it looked like the bottle was pretty much empty. I emailed the shop with no reply so I emailed the next day a manager emailed me back and said she would look into it. But still to this day nothing back from her after paying over 100.00 for this service and your nails only last a day we won't be returning. Tonight I went to take the polish off my toenails and I see the blue polish wasn't even completely taken off before the girl put on the fresh polish. We are both disappointed and will not be returning save your money go elsewhere. read more

Amazing experience with my daughters for a mani and pedi date. From the receptionist to the esthetician's , all were amazing!!!!!! Thanks for making a mommy and daughter date amazing! read more

I came here with a few girl friends. This place is super cute. Staff was great and so what the service. I got a facial done and my nails. I have to say, from most spas I have tried out, they actually did all the massage moves on my face. They were not slack. They used great products. Inside has a mini boutique with cute clothes to browse through while waiting for your appointment. Rachel was the receptionist was so welcoming when we arrived. I for sure will come again!!! read more

Hidden gem in Osprey Village!! Perfect for a girls date or even just yourself for a little pampering.

I had a pedicure done which had peeled but thank god for Sarah (who didn't do my original toes) who fixed them up beautifully. They have a 10 day guarantee! If you want to book a pedi and have great results... go see Sarah! Couldn't be more happy. Thank you read more

I would give this 0 stars if I could. My aunt booked them for two hours for my mother's bridal shower. We showed up 10minutes late because of traffic and we were told that we couldn't all get the services that we wanted because they weren't adequately staffed. There was a group of about 20 of us getting mostly mani's and pedi's. We booked way in advance, so they knew we were coming. The manager was quite rude to my Aunt, and put a MAJOR damper on what was otherwise supposed to be a really good day! read more

This place is cute and almost feels as if its tucked in the middle of no where (this coming from a person who doesn't travel to Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows very often). The girls were welcoming, the place was clean and very inviting. I found the prices to be a bit steep for the service being provided. I came in for a pedicure which lasted about 25 minutes. My 'pre-soaking' was about 30 seconds, little to no foot massage and the buffing wasn't terrible but I've definite had better (they use an electric buffer). In the end I paid $60 on a service I could have done myself at home. There are definitely better places for a pedicure out there, all of which charge half of what Sour Apple charges. (my last pedi was at Pure Nail Bar in Port Moody and it was FAR better and cost $35). I would only return to Sour Apple if I was given a gift card or maybe purchased a Groupon. read more

Had a pedicure and although the girl was nice enough the skin on my heels looks just as bad today(day after). I will have to use a pumice stone on my heels but I've spent $55 on a pedicure! My girlfriend bled during hers and the girl did not seem worried at all! read more

I got my eyebrows tattooed by Rachel and I have to say how much I love them!!! After having sparse, short brows and having to pencil them in every day (and with the rainy season coming!!!), I decided to get my eyebrows tattooed. Now, when you hear eyebrow tattooing, you might recoil, thinking of really dark, stark, harsh-looking, artificial brows. This is not that!!!!!!! Rachel does these mini-hairstrokes, so it makes the tattoo look like hair!!! Not only do your eyebrows look natural, but Rachel is a master of choosing the right shape, arch, and thickness for your face. These are the best brows I've ever had!!! They are even better than the brows I was born with!!! I just trusted Rachel and let her choose the color and shape she thought would look best on me. She is so nice and professional, and will listen carefully to what you want and are looking for. I decided to just trust whatever she wanted to do, and I'm telling you, I LOVE MY EYEBROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who are scared of the pain, it isn't bad at all!!! And I'm someone with the lowest pain tolerance. I actually put off getting my eyebrows tattooed because I had previously gotten my eyeliner tattooed and it hurt so badly that the lady couldn't even properly get through the procedure. She told me that I had the lowest pain tolerance she had ever seen. Lol! So this should tell you something! After that excruciatingly painful experience, I vowed to myself that I would never get anything tattooed again. But after talking to Rachel and her reassuring me that the pain wouldn't be that bad, I decided to take the plunge. I took an Advil beforehand to further help with pain management. Rachel puts on a numbing cream and you wait for 30 minutes for it to take. She goes back and forth between each brow and applies more numbing cream every time. It feels like someone scraping your skin. It really isn't that bad!!!! I was so relieved!!!! Rachel is such an amazing tattoo artist. She'll keep consulting with you throughout to see if you like your brows, if you want it thicker, longer, etc. Honestly, though, the best bet is just to trust her and let her do what she thinks looks best. She's the eyebrow pro and she's very meticulous. She made me feel super comfortable and she is so friendly and genuine. I'm recommending her to all my friends because she is seriously that good!!! I even asked for some of her business cards because I plan on handing them out to my friends. You can check out her work (and my brows are one of the brows you'll see!!) on her Instagram page: browbabe_. I go back in a few weeks for a touch-up and to perfect my brows. Note to those who get their eyebrows tattooed - when you first get them done, your brows will be darker and look sharper than they'll actually end up being. I love how my brows look already, so I can't wait to see how they look when they finally settle!!!! I'll end my essay here. Ha ha! I just needed to write about the amazing Rachel and the incredible brows I now have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you've ever had doubts about getting your eyebrows tattooed, let my experience change your mind!! I wish I had gotten them done sooner!!!!! Thank you, Rachel, for giving me the best brows I've ever had!!!!!! You truly are the Brow Babe!!!!!!!!! read more

My wife received an email on the day of her birthday that she opened in the evening after Sour apple was closed. An appointment was subsequently booked. When she went to pay she was not given the birthday discount and was told the discount only applied on the actual birthday. She paid her bill in full and left. She attempted to follow up with the owner but calls and emails were not returned for a month. Ultimately my wife received no satisfaction. I'm surprised this business would survive cause this family and friends will no longer patronize sour apple. read more

My Maid of Honour took me here for a mani-pedi before my wedding in August. I hadn't been here before but it's beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It's a great spot for group events as the pedicure stations are in a semi-circle and the manicure stations are in the next room around the outer walls. All very open-concept. The ladies there are very nice and want you to be comfortable. We were offered a coffee, tea or water which is a nice touch. This was my first time getting shellac and the hardest part was picking the colour! I want to get back there shortly for my birthday for another shellac manicure with a more festive colour than my bridal nails. I love that I didn't have to worry about my manicure for 2 weeks! Plus having weak nails naturally, the polish helped to give my nails some strength. The prices are a little higher than elsewhere but it's a quality establishment to relax and enjoy some time with the girls. read more

This place has a strange atmosphere, even though aesthetically, it is very cute! Apart from the appearance of the salon, I did not feel very welcomed when I walked in. Even better, they booked my appointment on the wrong day by accident (of their own), so I was basically turned away at the door. Unfortunately, I left less than impressed and will not re-book in the future. read more

I was excited to try a new nail bar since I just moved to the area. My first set of shellac nails were great and the experience in getting them was also great. At $45 I expected it to be great since you can get a nice set for 20 at other spots. So I went back after Christmas for another set. This time it was a different lady doing my nails nice enough but clearly didn't really care about giving me a good set of nails. 4 had to be redone during the manicure and then 3 days later one of the nails broke so I had to go back in. They have a guarantee for 10 thankfully. So I went back another pleasing person doing my nails but a big glob of gel was touching my skin and i didn't notice and neither did they so here I am a day after the first fix and I need to go back. I don't think my time is worth going back. I don't think there is consistency here. I won't be back. read more
