They usually have some pretty good deals on all types of products as well as a wide variety of polish colours and hair treatments. They also have styling tools avaliable on sale and depending on what deal they have going on, you could get a pretty decent discount on the brand names too. My favourite part of this store is the "as seen on tv" hair devices - hair twirlers, ringlet sponge curlers - they will even help you try them on your hair if you are interested in the products - good fun!

The first time I discovered the store, was in search of a professional grade flat iron for my wife's curly hair. It was recommended by one of the local hair salons. My wife was very pleased with the product. Word of warning, it being professional grade, it wasn't cheap. The store is nothing like a hair salon, more like a wholesale operation, which the products stacked upon themselves on shelves. To give you an idea though, there might have been 50 options for flat irons. The hair clippers caught my attention though, as the prices seemed very reasonable for what barbers/stylists use: $100-$130 range. They have a decent sized selection of barber shop products as well. Check out the website, and give them a call if there is something specific you are looking for. They have been in business for over 25 years - they must be keeping their clientele busy.

This was the first Sally's Beauty Supply store in Ottawa to open and it was the only Sally's for a…read morevery long time. Now there are several locations all over the city, but there was a time when I had to haul my butt all the way down to Barrhaven to shop at Sally's. I rarely go to this location anymore because others are more convenient for me, but I find that this one is better stocked and they will have items that are sold out at other locations. So Sally's is open to the public, but they sell items that skew more to those in the beauty industry, like haircutting implements, lots of nail/manicure supplies, hair colorants and developers. They also carry cosmetics, hair care and hair styling tools. Prices are reasonable. They have a membership card that you purchase and you get the members' price on items which is a bit lower than non-member prices. They have special memberships for people in the beauty industry as well. They have brands of haircare products that are exclusive to them like "Beyond the Zone" and "Ion" which are quite good. They also carry cosmetics brands that are exclusive to them like "Sally Girl." Other brands of cosmetics that they sell that are hard to find elsewhere in Canada (in-store) are "Palladio Beauty" and "Femme Couture." For nail polish, they have a really good selection of "China Glaze" among other brands. Sally's also tends have items first when they start to become trendy. Remember the holograhic nail polish craze? They were the first to have all those pretty oil slick colours. They were also the first to carry magnetic eyelashes in-store in Canada. Oh and remember magnetic nail polish? Where there were magnetic shavings in the polish so after you paint your nails you would hold a special magnetic against your nail and a star or chevron pattern would appear? Sally's was again the first place you could get them at a brick and mortar store. Oh I thought those were the bee's knees and I bought every single colour and every magnetic design, lol. This location is in a strip mall. Lots of free parking.

I think for two packets of toner, as well as the developer, it ran around $40. This is super reasonable and over all, it was a great experience. If I do end up looking to experiment with hair again, or if I need other related materials, I will definitely return. I would 100% recommend this store for all your beauty supply needs.

Despite that, she still scheduled an appointment with me at 6pm and stayed past closing to finish the job. It was a job well done and I love it. Not only did she do a great job but she also explained every step she took and why she was doing them. I learned so much. She educated me on how to make my hair treatment last the longest. I also appreciated her asking me what my budget was and gave me an idea of what the cost would be ahead of time so that it wasn't a big surprise at the end. Everyone was just super friendly. It was definitely a big splurge for me and it isn't cheap but it's also the experience in addition to the salon quality that you pay for.

They carry lots of green household products, health food items, natural cosmetics, sustainable clothing and more. Prices are on the higher end, but they do have a clearance section where they liquidate short-dated food items for fairly cheap. For clothes, they carry brands like prAna, Miik, and Toad and Co. There are fitting rooms at the back of the store. This location is huge. Much bigger than the one on Wellington Street. I love wandering around the store to see what they have. It's in the same plaza as Ikea, so the parking lot is always busy, but there are usually some available spots. Parking is free.

First of all, their stock of cosmetics and some other products is extremely low in both stores, yet their web site shows full stock, which is deceiving.

We went into every building and the sauna wasn't even turned on. This was for our 5th wedding anniversary. A milestone anniversary and we don't know if we will see another as my husband has terminal cancer. We haven't been able to plan much with treatments and doctors appointments so we were really looking forward to a nice relaxing few hours of just focusing on us. I cannot describe how disappointing this is. We did call and at first I was told he didn't have a booking but quickly corrected himself when I said we had just received an email that morning reminding us to bring a bathing suit and flip flops. He apologized and offered for us to come back at 3pm but we already have dinner reservations and we wouldn't make it on time. He did refund us but that doesn't make up for a disappointing anniversary and it's not like we could just go somewhere else.
