I've had many lovely massage experiences but today was the first time I'd tried a Unique Facial. It was a wonderful way to conclude the service - I felt like I'd sank right into the table! Iris uses Arbonne products and explained what each one was and how it worked before using it on me. My skin feels very clean, light, and soft now - none of that unpleasant "buildup" to worry about with Arbonne. It took me a while to have my first facial, but it certainly won't be my last!

I feel compelled to remove a Remedy Spa star based on my experiences here in the last 6 months…read more What with being a pretty big fan of this spa when it initially opened I was (evidently) one of the first people to end up on the spam list. I remember why I had initially forked over my contact details to RS and it was because they occasionally have open house events where you can try products and even receive free (micro session) services like paraffin treatments. Uhh, free spa services!? Show me the dotted line! Several months later I did however start to notice that I was receiving multiple promotional offers/month in my email as well as being sent junk mail in snail mail version! Haughtily, I informed RS that I wanted to receive no more junk and yet somehow still receive the occasional email... At least the paper waste has stopped... I guess? My second gripe with RS was over an encounter I had in late July. I even booked this 50% off wax session from Vancouver, weeks in advance... I was THAT pumped about being back to the land of reasonably priced lady services! Upon arriving, I had an extremely awkward conversation with my esthetician about what *type* of service I would be getting. Trying to cajole someone into ripping MORE hair from between your legs is, I assure you, uncomfortable even for an extrovert. Perhaps you have had this happen before? Where you have been inadvertently booked into a smaller time window than your desired service will take? The real crux in all of this was that whomever I had booked with had not asked which service I wanted and what ultimately came to light was that my wax lady had NEVER DONE A FULL BIKINI WAX BEFORE. She was therefor too nervous to try on me (hey, me too once I found this out!) and I ended up paying for and leaving with a) not the service I had wanted and b) a rather crooked and sloppy job upon at home inspection. To be fair, we've all started new jobs before and I guess there's no school for bikini waxing with faux hippy bush dummies to practice on but come on... I hope my next experience at Remedy is more customer oriented! I will for sure be clarifying repeatedly in future which service I want as well as requesting a more experienced wax-er.

When I reached the tastefully designed landing, the smell of warm citrus was like a veil, calming me instantaneously and giving me the desire to be fully pampered. I entered into the small space and was greeted by sunlight and shelves of properly placed products. The lady at the desk was on the tele, so I grabbed a pamphlet and perused the skin care goodies. While reaching for the price list, I noticed an assortment of alcohol bottles and martini glasses - I was wooed right then and there into wanting a Sex & the City moment to call my own. The Farmhouse Fresh products looked sassy and sweet, with yummy smells and gorgeous packaging. There was a foot treatment called the Honey Heel Glaze, selling for $24, which looked like a lovely product. Remedy also carries OPI nail products and a variety of other soothing and rejuvenating luxury items to make your epidermis glow! I loved the look and feel of this place and was glad I opted to head up the stairs to check this place out. The smell alone is enough to calm even the most wound-up of souls, and should be a service in itself. I adore this Facial Bar and would love to have a treatment here.

When you walk inside the salon it is completely separated into specific sections. Although it makes it seem small I prefer it this way. When you're getting a manicure you don't have to smell hair dye. It suits the space very well. I went to the salon yesterday for a mini manicure. They had every colour of OPI you could ask for. But they also carried a vegan line of beautiful colours- so inclusive! My aesthetician was warm and friendly. She explained everything she was doing with professionalism. She did a lovely job on my very short nails which I know is hard to do. I just had regular nail polish applied. They also carry the OPI gel nail colour line. Where you can have your perfect polish stay on for 2-3 weeks straight. A great option if you'll be traveling or getting married. The price was fair and the service was great. I was truly impressed.

I was a frequent client at Karas, both their portland and cole harbour locations. One day I was…read morewaiting for my nail appointment at the portland street location when a loud vulgar argument broke out between two stylists while they had clients in their chairs (who seemed very uncomfortable and quiet with what was happening). I then watched as the supervisor of the salon, who I believe his name was Ed or Eddy something along those lines, yell at the receptionist over the phone until she was almost in tears. I stopped going after watching this encounter and how poorly staff treat each other and how poorly management takes out his anger on reception staff. I would go ANYWHERE ELSE for any services they provide. Poor management will be the downfall of this business

My friend and I booked an appointment at Kara's last week for a pedicure (for her) and manicure…read more(for me). We booked our appointments for 4:45 on a Sunday afternoon at the Portland Street location. The next day, we were informed that the person we'd been booked with wasn't actually working at that time, but could we come in at 1:00 instead? We said sure. A mild inconvenience, but no big deal! On Sunday at 12:15, my friend received a phone call from Kara's asking where we were, since our appointment was at 12:00. No, my friend said, you must be mistaken. We're booked in at 1:00. She was told (very curtly!) that was impossible since there had been someone else booked at 1:00 "forever". The tone was not apologetic whatsoever and nothing was suggested to remedy the situation. Obviously we canceled our appointments and went elsewhere. One scheduling screwup is OK. Two is a bit much. But even then, an offer to reschedule for another day or time slot, or even a simple "I'm sorry, we must have double booked you" to acknowledge the error would go a long way. I can't speak for Kara's facilities because we didn't get a chance to see them, and based on this experience, won't be doing so in the future either. UPDATE! The following Monday, we received a call from the spa manager apologizing for the mixups and offering us a free manicure and pedicure. We very much appreciate this gesture and are looking forward to visiting Kara's soon!

The pedicure room was extremely loud to the point where my esthetician apologized. It wasn't just the customers. It was also 2 specific employees. One was talking loudly about her father passing in hospice. I got the whole story whether I wanted to hear it or not. Most upscale spas have a policy on spa etiquette and enforce it. Ive been coming to interlude since 2009. This was my worst experience. At one point it was so loud and causing me so much anxiety I almost got up and left mid treatment.
