Nice full service salon. But for most people it is all about your own stylist and they do seem to come and go from here a lot. I do like that you can book on-line and that there is a 10% discount on Tuesdays which is good because a cut and single colour is about $150 not including tip.
There is limited parking in the back. -

I have been going to Carrie'l for years! They have some excellent stylists (Yay! Lindsay!) and everyone is very courteous and friendly. I've even tried their spa services (massage and manicure) and have always been more than happy!
I've recommended Carrie'l to all my friends and those that go have nothing but good things to say! There are so many salon's in the city, it's nice to know there is a solid salon and spa that consistently gives great services!
The only thing I have to complain about is that they stopped calling to remind me of appointments (in their defence, I made the appointment so I should remember it) but, I do forget and have counted on that lovely message to remind me my hair cut is the next day. -

I love Carrie'l, partly because I know Carrie and absolutely adore her and her family. The salon always does an amazing job and I can be a picky client. The staff is very knowledgable about how to dye one color to another and fix color disasters. They are also very concious about not drying your hair out by giving you hydration treatments. There is usually someone around offering complementary hand massages. What more could a girl ask for?
The spa is always clean and the staff are always friendly and eager to help. They also carry an amazing make up line called Jane Irdell. It is a very light makeup line. I can't stand heavy makeup but I love this brand. It is definitely worth the price tag and the staff will always help you pick out the shade that best matches your skin tone.
Complementary tea and cucumber water are always available which is a nice treat while getting your hair done as well there is always up-to-date magazines on hand.
The only downside is the cost. Carrie'l is very high end and with that comes an expensive price tag. If I was not on a student budget I would opt to always go to Carrie'l. -

This is an interesting location because it's in a mostly residential neighbourhood. In fact, it is a house. Don't let that throw you off though because once you step inside you can see that it's a full salon and spa.
The first and last thing you see is the products they have available for sale. They offer high end salon products, as do many others, but have some interesting lines unavailable elsewhere.
Next, you'll see the hair salon. I was actually introduced to this place because I'd won a gift certificate for a haircut. I'd called ahead and made an appointment not really knowing what I was getting into. I was very impressed with my stylist. It was obvious he had a passion for hair. At the time my hair was longer and straight (as usual) which turned out to be his specialty.
During my haircut, I was able to observe some of the other clients - most of whom were regulars. There was a woman getting a makeup lesson which was fascinating to watch because the makeup artist was really educated about the products available and how they work with different types of skin.
It was obvious to me that the staff who work there are experts in their field. They are all passionate about what they do and it really shows!
I recommend checking out their website, too. I noticed that they have a unique leg wax that is supposed to be gentler on your skin. Considering how sensitive my skin is and how much I've jumped during bikini waxes, I'm likely going to give it a shot! -

My regular waxer moved to this location from the whyte avenue salon she was at previously. I only went here because she moved here.
I know she is a good waxer and so I decided to take a chance and go to this salon instead. I know that everyone has to have different prices, but I was annoyed that I was paying almost $25 more for the exact same service I received from her only a couple months ago. I didn't find the experience any more uplifting due to the new location.
I decided to not go back, not because the service was not good (it always was), but because I could not fathom paying $25 more for the same wax.
If you don't mind the extra cash splurge, go in and ask for Shannyn for a wax. She makes you feel so comfortable in you're awkward position and she is very gentle. She will also make you laugh throughout your entire visit. -

I love a salon or a spa located inside a regular house. I think it gives it a more welcoming feel and cozy atmosphere. Carrie'l is one of those spas. The house itself doesn't look like it has been renovated or updated on the outside, but the spa's interior and the quality of service provided here make up for this shortcoming.
I have been to Carrie'l twice: once for a hair cut and once for a Recover Touch facial. Both procedures yielded amazing results. My hair stylist listened to my requests intently, and gave me exactly the hair cut I wanted. I asked for long layers that frame the face, and I begged that my hair be cut in a way that make it easy and quick to style in the morning. The stylist gave me what I asked for. I will not say that this was the best hair cut of my life (I am still looking for my one and only hairstylist) but I left Carrie'l satisfied.
Recover Touch facial was heavenly and left my skin glowing. Thanks to Edmonton's dry climate, I am constantly looking for ways to moisturize and plump up my skin and eliminate dullness. At Carrie'l, this mission was accomplished. Every single mask, serum and moisturizer used by my esthetician was packed with vitamins and brightening complexes, and totally agreed with my skin.
The reason I visited Carrie'l in the first place is because it sells Davines products. Ladies, I strongly recommend you try MoMo conditioner from this line, especially if you hair is colour treated.
The girls working at Carrie'l are friendly and helpful, and make sure you have the time of your life, once you come in for your appointment. -

I won't lie, when I saw the location of this Salon & Spa I almost canceled my appointment. It is located in a house, and it looks very small from the outside. My judgments were incredibly wrong. This place is immaculate, the decor is very earthy and you feel at peace when you enter the doors. I get facials at Carrie'l monthly and back massages on a regular basis. The facials are perfectly timed and I always wish that they could last a full 8-hours. The ambiance is relaxing and soothing, and the whole process is well worth the cost. With Carrie'l you definitely get what you pay for.

Just finished a facial at Carrie'l. First time there. I had been searching for a new spa place in Edmonton for the last couple of months since my last esthetician retired and closed down her business. I went to a couple of places over the past months from high to low end and was not impressed at all. But I was pleasantly surprised with Carrie'l's. I had Nikki for my facial and is really happy with her. Young, but very professional and did not push the products and seem to know her stuff. I like the ambience of the place and the quaint rooms and the array of services they offer. The only thing that they can improve upon is at the reception to make this a 5 star place. The place was really, really busy when I arrived there. As a high end spa, I had expected to be greeted professionally by a calm person, and introduced to the spa and welcomed. Instead, I felt really rushed through reception - like being in a doctor's office - "change room here, get change and sit here and the form is on the table, fill it out and wait - someone will be with you...". They may be short handed or the girl was just having a really hectic day. Overall, I will be going back. It may be just an odd day for them.

This is the ultimate spa experience in Edmonton. I recently took my friend here for her stagette weekend and treated myself while I was at it. I recommend having a facial and a massage here to really get the full experience of being pampered. Their padded beds are so comfortable you'll think you're in heaven and the products they use are top quality. The massage therapists have a skilled touch and the estheticians are refined in their work. I fell asleep during my facial it was so well-choreographed and soothing. The facecloths they use come right out of a hot oven and they don't just "wipe" but gently move the facecloth about your face finishing by dragging it under your chin in way that's positively hypnotic. Mind you, you snap out of it when you get the bill; but you have to be prepared when you come here. Nothing's cheap. But the experience is worth it, right from the spa slippers they give you at the front door down to the change rooms with luscious creams, steam shower, fresh cut flowers and beautiful waiting room. You won't forget this experience and it'll make you want to come back.
