Very welcoming massage studio. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I signed up for a deep tissue massage and felt great after. Used direct billing after the massage, great overall experience.Read more
I did my EMR course 3 years ago and came back to renew my certificate. After already attending Alfred's class previously, I was looking forward to the renewal. He didn't disappoint with his sense of hummour to keep us engaged. He is also super knowledgeable on all courses and Alberta standards. When you don't understand something he makes sure to explain differently so you can understand. He gives you the time needed to ensure you pass and understand everything. I look forward to next course!Read more
I've been going here for many years now. Occasionally I try someplace else...simply because I'm out of Millwoods and it's more convenient. I've had both good and bad haircuts at other salons. I have NEVER had a bad haircut here...which is what keeps me coming back!
Although I've had cuts from a few stylists here (and they were all good) my main stylist is April and she is fantastic!
I'm a hairdresser's nightmare client, I'm sure...I'm not a "girly girl"...I have no real "style"...I haven't a clue about hair...I'm one of those people who go in and say "do what you think would look good". April knows that I own a brush and a blow dryer..no other hair "tools" and no "product". She always keeps this in mind and gives me a great "wash and go" look (and doesn't make it always the same so I have some nice changes and don't get in a rut). I appreciate that she never tries to "push" me into haircuts that require a lot of work from me and, although she might occasionally suggest a product, it's a very, very "soft sell" and I never feel obligated to buy or feel bad that I didn't. That's a big deal for me because I've been to salons where they give me a haircut that looks silly when I don't use a curling iron and 5 products on it and they really push the products. I like to feel comfortable in a salon and not worry about a sales pitch.
Before we go on vacations I get her to give me a perm so that my fine, rather limp hair will look nice even without me doing anything with it and I've always been very happy with the results!
Last year she colored my hair...for the first time in my life (I'm 50...she couldn't believe I had never done it before). She did so in a way that thrilled me...but wasn't so dramatic that I felt uncomfortable.
So if you want a great salon, choose this one...but don't all ask for April...I don't want her so busy that I can't get an appointment!Read more
