    French tips perfection!
    WhiteFeather H.

    I have only the highest praise for this fabulous little shoppe! First, let me tell you about the absolutely astounding service. This is a place to go to be truly holistically cared for: from the endless refills of special herbal tea blends, to the high quality products they use, to the relaxed and careful attention they give you with each service, to their follow-through that you are completely happy with your results -- this spot simply can't be beat! I was treated with the highest level of respect, even when I asked for something to be redone because it had messed up on my way home. Pedicures that go beyond pedicures: pure blissed out foot and leg massage, tingly scrubs, gentle tools (yay, I didn't bleed like I always do at other places!) and a very classy and constantly updated selection of colours to choose from. Manicures: I got French tips (regular polish), which require a meticulous and very skilled application. Mine were impeccable. I'm thrilled. The ladies were absolute perfectionists. I've never tried acrylic nails or gel nails but the ladies looked so good in theirs that I might just go for it next time. Facials: I had the privilege of being part of a special facial night with a group, and I was so ecstatic with the experience and the results that I had to go back for a number of the products that we used. DELICIOUS. Chemical-free. Smelling and feeling like heaven. Goddamn, you deserve it. They are super knowledgeable and confident and can guide you to the exact right thing for your skin. The interior is super clean, and they don't use those difficult to clean jacuzzi foot tub things that are usually plastic-lined for the sake of sanitation - no, they use stainless steel bowls that can be easily sterilized and you can be sure of no lingering foot fungus from anybody else. Makes it easier to relax, no? The mani-pedi stations are downstairs and the facials area is upstairs where it's more quiet and secluded. They have a wide range of Naturopathica products that literally fly off the shelves, they're that good. I actually had to wait for them to order one in for me (but it came very quickly) because the product is so epic: Manuka honey cleansing balm - go get it now.

    Best tea ever!

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

    I got my hair cut by Hilton again just a few days ago and I could not be happier. If you tell him…read moreto only take 1/4 inch, he takes exactly that. In this case, I stated, I do not care what length you take off, but to take off all of the dead ends. I wanted to leave with totally fresh, non split ends hair. I also have extremely curly hair, with a cowlick, and he always makes sure to make my hair look even when he cuts it. He understands that wet curly hair 1 inch is actually more like 2 for the dry curly look. He also does a great dye job, and will recommend things to you based on your colour tone, your hair, whether it can withstand certain treatments, and also will ask your general day to day look to make sure you look great at all times. I made the mistake one time of seeing another hairdresser to touch up my bangs when he was on vacation, and I learned my lesson because I looked like the Three Stooges! I will never let another human touch my hair, Hilton only! I am sure the other stylists are just as good at this salon, but I can't vouch for them as I will not see anyone else. But if you're my curly crew, trust me your hair is safe in Hilton's hands.

    I got a hair botox treatment there, and not only did it not do what it was supposed to do (keep it…read moresmooth and not-frizzy in humid weather) it changed my natural colour (which I has asked about in advance, because I didn't want this to happen, and the owner assured me it wouldn't). My hair is also damaged, dry and much less shiny than it was before the treatment. I asked for a refund (whole or partial) for this extremely expensive treatment that destroyed my hair and the owner refused and told me the colour hadn't changed (despite everyone who actually knows me seeing that it had) and that he sees hair "a lot more damaged" than mine. Though I don't dye my hair and it started out extremely healthy, so of course he's seen more damaged hair! I never claimed to have the most damaged hair in the city, just that my hair is now damaged. Would never go back, nor recommend. Awful experience, especially how flip the owner was when I told him my concerns. Edited to add the owner's response is patently untrue. I absolutely asked about my hair colour not changing prior to the appointment because I know keratin changes natural hair colour and wanted to ensure this wouldn't happen with the hair botox, (he was there when I went in for the treatment and to suggest otherwise is a lie), and even post-trim my hair remains damaged, a different colour, and notably, this expensive treatment didn't work. As for the photos, he took them without my consent when I went into talk to him about how upset I was about my hair. I haven't seen them, but it was certainly not "throughout the process" as he claimed. Stay away from this salon!!!

    Have been going to see Leah for a little less than a year now and have always had an incredible…read moreexperience! I am cautious with my hair as I've done quite a bit of damage to it over the years, but she is quick to offer suggestions on how to treat it so it doesn't get worse, and my cut and colour always looks better than hope it well end up when I walk in. My hair always FEELS better when I leave than it does with other salons I've been to. I haven't asked her which products she uses when she washes and styles my hair after, but next visit I will probably buy some. The salon itself is always spotless, warm, and welcoming, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The receptionist with long hair and big, Disney eyes (I didn't catch her name last time I was in) always offers me wine, coffee or tea and takes my jacket which I find to be a very nice touch. Their prices are not only reasonable, they're fair, and I am always thrilled with the end result. All the other staff that is working throughout the day seem to go out of their way to help each other, and I always have more than one person come up to me to say hi or to offer me something/offer their help.

Today, she performed a miracle and got my orange hair ash brown/blonde/grey. I did not think it was possible to do it, but here I am, no hint of orange or red in my hair and a stylish new cut on top of it! Thank you so much, Rajaa!
