I have a hair dresser there who is related to a friend of mine. Her name is Cassie. Cassie welcomes…read moreto her salon and treats me very well. Yes, I pay a bit more for my short hair to be styled but she really knows how to "cut" thin, fine and graying hair. Cost is reasonable and I also tip her as she is good. And the reception welcomes me and thanks me when I leave. Overall, I have been to another salon in Edmonton and I will say I will never go back. Plus I get to hug my hair dresser. Pricing for products is a bit higher than my budget but I get good options and will buy when I have finances. They carry a complete line of Bumble and Bumble products. Overall, my favorite place to get my hair done and also service with a smile and kindness. I love my salon in Old Strathcona.

We were walking through Fringe on the weekend and noticed a sign outside Mousy Brown's that said…read morethey now had a barbershop - but the kicker is that it's a walk in barbershop that is pay what you will! In a fancy-ish looking place, we had to ask, but yes, that's their philosophy. I wish they'd do it for women too, but alas. Now, you don't get a fancy wash/head massage or anything, but you do get to choose a cut or shave and that's it. We had to wait for a bit, so we went for a drink and came back. My friend wanted something pretty drastic (because YOLO, right?) and after a consultation, the stylist got to work (I'm really sorry I didn't catch her name, but I believe she is the only one doing the barbershop cuts for now since they just started this service last week). He got a great cut, and we learned that the salon was doing this as a way to give back to the community and to expand their clientele. Love when businesses care! Would highly recommend if you're a guy and looking for a cut to check them out.

This is a recent addition to Kingsway and I'll say that it looks impressive but like many things…read morelooks can be deceiving. I was browsing and reading the ingredients (as I need to do since I have extremely sensitive skin) and an employee dove at a drawer at my shin and started opening it saying, "Sorry, I have to get in here." Not "excuse me" or anything. So I walked to a totally different part of the store. The other chick working there did the exact same thing! How does that saying go...fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...something like that. When the first clerk approached me and asked in the same, rude tone of voice if she could help me, I said no and walked out.

Today I went in because my empties had mounted up and I had five concealer tubes, and an empty bronzer so I could finally claim my free item. Did you know that? Return six M·A·C primary packaging containers and you get a free lipstick or eyeshadow! SCORE! I opted for a nice eyeshadow, after talking to the sales consultant who advised I could use this one as a block color or build into a smokey eye and it's the perfect size for traveling. She really cared about what I was choosing and it was a freebie. That's good customer service. This is a small store but there is so much in there and even on a quiet afternoon you'll need to wait about five mins for a sales person to be with you. I guess that's why I give this store 4, the make up itself is awesome, the service is great... you just need to wait your turn.
