Caryl Baker’s Visage

Caryl Baker’s Visage is a little beauty shop inside of the Rideau Centre, from my understanding it is also a chain. They offer really anything you can imagine beauty wise, minus hair styling. So by this I mean make up, waxing, facials, teeth whitening etc. They operate on a walk in basis.
I came here a while back to get my eyebrows done. I was trying to think why I didn’t come back but I couldn’t remember. Usually if a place does a really poor job I always remember. The memories of why kind of came back pretty quickly.
This place was a little cramped. Its very small and usually pretty busy. I was squeezed in immediately. I waited 10 minutes to see someone, not too bad. While I was waiting the station I was at had a bunch of leftover wax (with hair on it) still all over the counter. Kind of gross. When the lady doing my eyebrows got to me she apologized profusely. This didn’t bother me.
She told me she does her eyebrows a little thicker and offered to do mine to my natural shape, not too thin like most places do. I like mine a little tiny bit thin sometimes but I decided to let her go with it. As soon as she started back I remembered why I didn’t come here again. They have a membership card and they are SOOO pushy about it. She talked about it the entire time and I really tried hard not to show any interest. When she was finished she said «so just the brow wax along with the membership?» After I explained I really didn’t want it she kind of seemed irritated by this. Despite the big tip I gave her. I think mine came to $ 21, tip included.
My eyebrows do really look good. She did a great job shaping them. But holy crap I can’t listen to them talk about their membership the entire interaction, and they’re sooo pushy! I’d likely come back here in a pinch but I’d make it very obvious I have 0 desire to get a membership.
