  • * Service * I have been coming here for years to get my eyebrows and waxing done. Eye brows are done by threading and is done by the older one. She is more experienced (e.g. light-handed) but her quality varies on her moods (e.g. services like brushing threaded hair off the face or scissor trimming). I also ask her to wax areas and is done fast and bearable. Overall, I am satisfied with her expertise in threading eyebrows but I often ask her to go again for a more defined look. The place has become more quiet due to her daughter and toddler grand-daughter lurking in the salon. I personally think it is unprofessional to have a toddler wandering around the salon. How can she stay focused on the task of my eye brows or waxing, if she also has an eye on the toddler? I've never gotten a manicure or massage done and quite honestly, I do not think they have enough staff (mostly her and the other one with a med-bob like hair) to offer these services 100%. There are plenty of nail salons in the area especially along Yonge St, so no need to waste your time there for a manicure. Calling them for an appointment is pointless for eyebrows or waxing, as they honour the first-come, first-serve. Although they are friendly, I find it a bit rude they are speaking to each other in their native language while discussing the toddler. * Prices * The prices are not posted on the wall but the brochure (out of date) lists the prices and services they offer. If you are new, I would recommend asking how much before getting the service done, to avoid any surprise cost. They accept cash, debit, and credit card and have the Vicinity logo posted though they do not advertise the offers. Most often you have to remind them to log on their laptop to update your profile. Personally, I find the prices are a bit high but given the consistency on their service is average and she knows how I like my eyebrows, I am willing to accept it. * Location and Cleanliness * The location is good as it is close to the Wellesley Subway station. I just wish the area would be a bit more clean. Usually on Thursday and Friday after 5 pm, there are threads all over the floor from their past clients' service. Thursdays and Fridays are predictably the busier days after work because the weekend is approaching. * Overall * Overall, I would recommend this place only for eyebrows and waxing. Other additional services, I have never done and judging by the past reviewers, would avoid those Groupon deals. However, I am currently looking for a new place as having the toddler present at the salon is not professional and can be dangerous. If anyone knows another place that offers threading eyebrows and waxing, please let me know. * UPDATE: May 13, 2016 * The toddler is no longer there and they have hired a third person. I no longer recommend this place and will be looking for a new place. Older person who usually does my waxing made it uneven. She refused to let me see my waxing results to make sure it was even. I came home and discovered it was in fact uneven. Price: $17 (including tax) for waxing = uneven and painful I ended up going to Threading Experts (386 College Street) and the person managed to fix the uneven error caused by this place. It was a lot cheaper too, only $5! Threading Experts spent a lot of time evening it out with waxing and threading while I laid on the bed. Lying on a bed in a private room is a lot more comfortable than sitting in a chair and tucking your chin towards your neck.
