Petals

Having battled to get rid of unwanted hairs for quite a while, I decided to give electrolysis a try. I started the treatment at Bay Street Clinic (Advanced Institute of Electrolysis) and realized that after doing 4 sessions, once every week, I was seeing no results. I was just wasting my time and money. In fact, this was because the lady was actually tweezing the hairs more than she was actually applying the heat from the electrolysis machine.
However, I came across Petal’s on Unilocal and decided to give them a try. I went in for a consultation and was very impressed by Linda’s advice which was to do one session of laser and then proceed with the electrolysis as it will require less electrolysis sessions and less money. Upon doing the laser for the first session, I had seen such great results. Only a small patch of hair had grown back after 3 weeks but it was nothing much to talk about (3 weeks without any form of hair removal is a lot for me). I went back for electrolysis after the 3 weeks and only required a 30 minute session which costed me $ 30. Not bad at all!
I definitely recommend this place if you are interested in laser/​electrolysis hair removal. Their customer service is exceptional and their prices are extremely affordable.

The best Brazilian in all of GTA. I come here often for my Brazilian wax with Lynda and she does an amazing and thorough job. I live an hr away from Toronto and I’ve tried many different places before but none can compare to Petals so I drive an hr just to get it done by Lynda.

I always go to Petals to get my lashes done. Crazy convenient, times are flexible and I love my lashes EVERY time!

Went in for eyelash extensions last Sunday. Currently have about 3 single lashes left on my right eye & the lefts looking pretty sparse. Was unhappy with the shape of them as soon as she finished, the left looking a little bit weird. Lashes were placed in a way that they looked to be overly directed out? She assured me to let them set and take form, saying the look would change… Stayed looking pretty funky. Lol.
Petals wasn’t my first pick for lashes, I normally see a friend who works out of her condo in Sauga but she was on vacation & I was desperate to find a place open on a Sunday as I was leaving for vacation for the week. Didn’t spend my time in the water dunking my lashes & I only use products with no oils. Read on Unilocal that petals charged $ 100 for unlimited lashes. Surprise! Came to $ 150. They didn’t even make it a week :((((((
So so so so so disappointed.
UPDATE! — have zero lashes left. Thanks petals :)

I am SO thankful to have found Paula at Petals!
A girlfriend raved about her shellac manicure from Paula. I was skeptical because I’ve had shellac in the past and it left my nails very thin and fragile, but I am a massage therapist and shellac is the only way to go if I want to wear polish because I wash my hands so often. Suffice to say I’ve been coming back every week for months!
My nails are completely normal and strong, the price is great, but most importantly the CND polish lasts and lasts and stay shiny! If it gets a bit dull, just wipe it down with alcohol and it sparkles again. I could go about 10 to 14 days between manicures and the only issue would be that you could see regrowth. Truth be told I go once a week because I just love Paula and we have so much fun chatting!
Thank you, Paula for making me feel great! ‘Never thought it was in the cards for my hard-​working hands!
PS — She is also the queen of waxing! Seriously.

Friendly staff that kept me entertained while I waited on my Brazilian. Linda was the esthetician today and she was quick and SUPER thorough. Price was definitely reasonable for the work. Would absolutely go back again!

My boyfriend and I have both been to Petals and would definitely recommend them to others. The services always great and the people are very friendly and dedicated to customer satisfaction.

The most thorough Brazilian waxing job I’ve seen in the GTA. They really take their time, and won’t rush you, stopping when it gets too painful. Also, no double dipping! I’m a fan!
The store is tucked away a little north of Bloor, and is quite cozy inside. The owner sits at the front with her appointment book, and is very friendly.
They have $ 34 mani/​pedi specials on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’ll be sure to give that a shot when I’m back in the area!

Went for a brazilian. Loved Paula. She knows what she’s doing. Was in and out in just a few minutes. Will be back for sure.

Went there (first visit) last week for a back wax using a group deal voucher after Men’s Power Spa closed earlier this spring. Great experience. The wax was not too hot, removal was painless and Katy was very nice. Small place but comfortable, clean, hygenic (I liked the paper over the table where you lie down). Didn’t try to upsell me. And didn’t feel out of place there being male. I’ll be back.

I have been to Petals twice for a Brazilian wax. Both times I have gone on Sunday and Paula has done my wax. She is fantastic!
She is very thorough and pays close attention to the direction of hair growth. The result is a clean wax and minimal ingrown hairs when it grows in.
Also, the room is clean and they don’t use honey wax. The wax is green and does not rip out your skin, which I appreciate.
I highly recommend Paula at Petals for Brazilian wax.

WHY!!! YOU GUYS. WHY!!!
Right around the corner from where I live is Petals… they have this FANTASTIC eyelash extension special where she’ll do the whole set for $ 100 dollars doesn’t matter if it’s 30 per eye or 50 lashes per eye. The first time I came I loved them… she did an amazing job. I recommended her to everyone and i think 4 or 5 of my friends got them done here. I had to take them all out because I was heading on vacation and the last thing I needed was my lashes in the way of my sun and beach (and alcohol)…When I came back I got a new set again AMAZING job when I got them… BUT 2 weeks later they all fell off and I had like 2 lashes left… It’s most likely my lashes and not the technicians fault because she didnt know that my lashes are really weak and cant hold up heavy lashes. So I came back to see her… its around 5:15pm I sat in the reception area staring out to yonge st when I notice its 5:45 hmmm my appointment was at 5:30 she should be here but I understand she travels so it’s fine if shes a little late… the receptionist (very very sweet girl nothing against her) asks me if I want anything I said no i’m fine. 6:15 comes around now it’s a tad ridiculous I’ve been sitting for about an hour… my technician isnt here and shes about 45 mins late… she told me where she lives and it doesnt take 45 mins to get here even if she left when my appointment was. The receptionist called the technician and she had no idea that she had an appointment of that she missed an appointment earlier that morning…
Not a happy camper. I had a huge event and had to get them done that night… the receptionist offered me a manicure which was sweet but I had to get the lashes done so I left (went to Mync Lash Lounge read my review there). The owner called me the next day, I was at work so she left me a voicemail telling me that she apologizes and I should come in and can discuss about a discount… I never went back…
Im not sure if it was because all the lashes fell out or because she didnt show up… but it just isnt worth it to me…
HOWEVER…and this has to be made clear my friend gets her lashes done by her still and hers look AMAZING. She hasnt had them filled in over 4 weeks and they still look GREAT… so I cant knock her technique at all… just for me personally it didnt work out.

I absolutely love Petals for my Brazilian wax. This place does the best job. I won’t go anywhere else.

Pros: this place is clean inside and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Cons: My manicure is just mediocre. The shaping is not the best and the polish could have been applied more evenly. They do not have dryers, so it took a LONG time for my nails to dry before I could leave. Also, this place is quite small and there is no receptionist, so the woman doing my nails had to keep stopping to answer the phone and book appointments.
What makes this a two star review, however, is the fact that a «classic manicure» is listed outside as $ 14. So, you can imagine I was surprised when she told me $ 22.60 ($ 20 + tax). I was not impressed to say the least. False advertising means I will not be returning.

They do a great job at hair removal here. The cleanest place ever too! Cleanliness should be important, and now that I’ve experienced the quality at Petals, I won’t go anywhere else.
Plus, they make hair removal practically painless! Who could ask for more?
Prices are equivalent to the market. Relatively easy to get an appointment. Recommend.
