She was very informative with every step she took to make my brows look amazing. My makeup artist the day of the wedding asked me where I got them done because they looked so good. The place was very inviting and clean. The lady who took the payment was also very nice! The prices are very reasonable. It's also so easy to book an appointment on their website. Prices are listed online too so it's no surprise. I highly recommend Nova Wax Bar! I will definitely be a returning customer.

I'd return, but I'd ask for a more experienced nail technician the next time. The employee I got was relatively new. I'm happy to review that it's seemingly a supportive environment for new employees. When I asked for nail art, colleagues were able to assist my nail technician. My technician did an overall okay job. I have a nail that has a random dot of pink and an air bubble. Otherwise, the quality of my nails has lasted well.

In comparison, I had a very positive experience with the same service last month, I am disappointed with the current outcome and I believe the technician who worked on my nails should be informed for future improvement.

The facial: 5/5 Relaxing, private, quiet and professional. Olivia was informative, gentle and not over chatty (all good in my book). Oh and there was a bed warmer... lovely! Foot massage (2/5) I'm basing this on deep foot massages I have had in the past. The deeper the better. I'd give their approach to a foot massage a 5 if you're just expecting light application of massive amounts of fragrant creams and ever so gentle, light rubbing in a pleasant setting. I sat beside a good friend and we chatted while she had a pedi and the staff allowed me to stay longer because her procedure was longer and the room wasn't needed. I felt that was kind. Where things went off the rails and why my review plummets was due to the communication I received from this place after my review. I had expressed 2 levels of disappointment with their foot massage . First is wasn't 'deep' despite the description of 'deep rhythmic massage' on their website and second because the esthetician maintained a very light pressure after I twice told her should could go much deeper. The 'deep, rhythmic massage' never happened. They sent me an email asking me to change the review, blaming my disappointment on my misinterpretation of 'deep rhythmic foot massage' and explaining that of course it meant was 'deeply relaxing'. They said a lot of other stuff, but the result is that I feel gaslit and feel they were trying to shame me for giving an honest review. They have now updated the website to eliminate the wording of 'deep rhythmic' from their foot massage description. I have a screenshot of that earlier version. So, I have in fact changed my review from a 3 to a one and would give them a zero for customer service if I could. No customer should be made to feel this way.

However, my shellac was just slightly better than the one I had at another more low end place, two weeks ago, but cost twice as much for the same service: removal, manicure and shellac. The shellac on a couple of nails wasn't nicely shaped despite paying for a manicure too. The shellac was painted over the cuticle in a couple of spots. The shellac started peeling on three nails after 1.5 weeks. I had a shellac done in downtown Vancouver for 2/3 of the price that neatly lasted 3 weeks. Giving it a 3 because the service and atmosphere was great but not the nail job.

Loved this experience. The shellac French manicure looked perfect and still does 10 days later.read more
