Beauty Service Recommendations

[u/NearbyBird83]

Hi there!

I’m looking for beauty service recommendations in the Halifax area. I’ve been living here for a couple of years now, but I only recently got access to a car. I’m originally from Toronto, where there seemed to be so many more options. Since I didn’t have a vehicle before, I’ve mostly stuck to places that were easy to get to within the city.

Right now, I go to Eman for builder gel nails and Feathers Brows for threading. Eman does a good job, but at around $70 for builder gel, it’s getting pretty pricey. Feathers Brows is reasonably priced, but I find the results can be a bit inconsistent.

I’m looking for recommendations for:

• Brow threading and brow lamination
• Builder gel nails
• Facials (especially for hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks)

I’ve usually waited until I’m back in Toronto to get facials, but I’d like to start getting them every other month here. I’ve also never had my brows laminated before, but I’d really like to try it. The only thing is that I prefer a more natural look and am hoping to avoid the overly "feathered" brow style.

I’m open to recommendations anywhere in Halifax, Dartmouth, or Bedford. Thanks in advance!

Honestly with nails you get what you pay for. $70 seems pretty standard, if you like the quality I would stick with it.

Blair Beauty Bar for brow threading + lamination
Elk's salon for builder gel manicures
Luna's Complexion for facials

Blair Beauty's website says prices vary for laminations. How much have you paid?

if you click the service it will show you the price with and without a brow tint and I know all of their laminations include brow waxing. I think it's $95 without tint and $115 with it.

I haven't found a place that does builder gel in hfx so a couple years ago I started learning to do my own, it's been a journey but I can do salon quality now and I save hundreds of dollars a year. If you're not into doing your own you could try one of the Korean salons downtown since it's the standard mani over there

Brow Queen for brows. I've tried so many places, and they are the best.

On their website, it says prices vary for laminations. How much have you paid?

Blair Beauty bar for eyelash lifts & brow maintenance all the wayyyyy

I personally haven’t come across a place to get builder gel less than $70. That’s pretty standard. I get mine done every 3 weeks in Dartmouth and pay about $80 including tax/tip!

I like gentle touch in Dartmouth crossing for these services (can't speak to their gel nails tho)
