I was home for the May long weekend so I dropped by Julia's (where I've been coming sparsely whenever I am in town, since 2012) and was greeted by a new esthetician (Chinese descent, young, said she was new). She was friendly and sufficiently experienced however she went over the same spot multiple times, not realizing that a tweezer would have done the work much faster. I get Brazilians regularly (she even commented that I must do this often since there was "not much to do") so I am in and out of a session in a whiz but yesterday's session was longer than my usual since she was having too much fun with the wax and did not end up even touching the tweezer at all. I remember sessions with Julia herself which took about 1/2 the time with perhaps even greater result - but for that reason I guess she is the boss lady.
Overall my experience here has always been positive. Of course price has gone up a few dollars over the years but what hasn't in life... $39 for a Brazilian before tip and taxes isn't bad. Just half star less for the chair that moves quite a lot (she warned me but even then it was a bit dangerous when you first hop on and off) and a half star less for the multiple strip on and off. But I will be back when I'm next in Toronto!
