Pros: Clean facilities, knowledgeable and helpful staff, convenient location, sauna does wonders!
Cons: Sauna is a tad on the small size, have to get dressed in order to get to shower. 


I love this place! The sauna is excellent and always clean.  The whole office in fact is spotless and nicely laid out.  Their staff are top notch and are always friendly.

I've been back many times since I purchased the deal and have used several of their practitioners too. I am really ecstatic with their service and facilities.

TOTALLY RECOMMEND!

Hair Chalk


Hair Chalk
Mungyo Soft Pastels
Deal Purchased: $14 for a Set of Hair Chalk with 24 Assorted Colours - Taxes Included ($100 Value)
Deal Site: Deal Getters
Date Purchased: October 23, 2012
Recommended: NO

Pros: The product itself is great and works really well if you follow directions from a youtube video for Hair Chalk
Cons: Go to Michael's and pick up a $5 box of chalk/soft pastels.  They are tiny. Took much longer than suggested.


This is by far the biggest rip off I have purchased from any deal site online ever.  First of all, they claim this is worth $100.  Not a chance in hell! Maybe if they shipped it in a gigantisized box overnight from China with a Jade Dragon inside the box, which they didn't obviously!  It also took much longer than the site suggested.

The pastels themselves were tiny.  They are each about 1" x 1/3" wide.  TINY!

I don't really have any complaints about the product itself other than they are advertising it as something it is not.  It works fine and it's a lot of fun, but seriously don't waste your money on purchasing it online.  I had to pay an extra $5 shipping too! Go to any art supply store and pick up a box of chalk.  It will work the same.

Definitely wear a shitty shirt when doing it, because it will all over you!

NOT A CHANCE

Rio UV Gel Nail System

Deal Purchased: $56 for a Rio UV Gel Nail System from Apple Creek Products (a $112 Value)
Deal Site: WagJag
Date Purchased: October 7, 2012
Recommended: YES

Pros: Works similar to Shellac and stays on for a long time. You can use your own regular nailpolish so there are lots of colours to choosse from. Does a great job if you follow the directions properly.
Cons: Take a long time because you have to do your thumb seperately from your fingers.


I purchased this item because going to the salon to do shellac is just getting way to expensive.  I love using dark colours on my nails but I really do them myself becuase they end up chipping within two days of putting the polish on.  When I saw I could use my own polish colours with this item that is what sold me.

The item was shipping out really quickly and was in perfect condition when I received it. The only thing it doesn't have included that I would like to see is a cuticle oil.  I had my own so it wasn't a problem.

If you follow the directions properly the colour will stay on a really long time.

There are a few things to really pay attention to:
1) Don't let the top coat get too close to the sids of your fingers.  It will harden on your fingers and then it will begin to peel and also it will feel funny.
2) Make sure to put a bit of elbow greece when you use the finishing liquid to really clean off the nails at the end otherwise they feel a bit gummy.
3) Have a stop watch or something near you so you know when to do the next coat.

 RECOMMEND IT!
