1. Wild Prairie Soap Company
So, I've been on a quest for shampoo bars and healthy soaps for a long time. Much to my dismay, most of the local soap boutiques only offer crap products containing SLS and other foam boosters, additives, and unknown fragrances. Yikes! Not stuff I…More »
2. Saje Natural Wellness
OK, so my initial assessment was that most of the products at Saje were too expensive, and that I would only go there for soap. Well, I was wrong. Since that review I have purchased many things here, including a nebulizer for my bedroom. The…More »

Even though the store is pricey, I have to give it five stars. I respect any place that uses mild,… Read more »
3. Saje Natural Wellness
Rocky View County, AB T0M 0E0
(403) 274-6006
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
I go to Saje in Edmonton regularly and wanted to check out the Boxing Week sales on my way home from vacation. I spent quite a bit of time browsing this kiosk and asked a lot of questions about the products. For those of you who don't know, Saje uses…More »
4. Strange City
I first started going to Strange City back when they offered hairstyling along with piercings and tattoos. The stylist, Jay, was hands down the best hair stylist I've ever had. But that's probably because he did hair just for fun -- he was actually…More »
5. Heritage Village Dental Clinic
This has been my dental clinic for as long as I can remember for a reason. I love it here. Is it wrong that I actually look forward to going to the dentist?
I find all of the technicians as well as my dentist to be very skilled and polite. I don't…More »
6. Bikram Yoga
After a long hiatus, I'm back at Bikram Yoga. It's great! I'm not going to say a lot in this review, as I've covered the basics already in my previous.
I've noticed that after coming regularly for a while now, the class seems shorter and shorter. I…More »

When it comes to yoga, Bikram is definitely one of my favorite places to go.
The location is fairly… Read more »
7. Henna Sooq
I have ordered from Henna Sooq several times and I'm super impressed!
Orders are always shipped promptly and arrive quickly. It helps that they (to my understanding) have a warehouse somewhere in Canada. Orders come in good condition and as stated on…More »
8. Lotus Soul Gym
A couple months ago I purchased a groupon for Lotus Soul Gym and have been going pretty regularly since then. I attended some beginner classes at Lotus, as well as yin yoga, and both their 60 minute and 90 minute hatha classes.
I thought the classes…More »
9. Murray's Hairstyling
Edmonton, AB T6X 1A3
(780) 461-5168
Okay, the weird thing is, this is the place my mom gets her hair cut. Normally, places that 50-something-year-olds go for hair cuts are NOT the same places preferred by 20-something-year-olds, at least not to my knowledge. But for the last six months…More »
10. Sangster's
I don't go for the majority of the products they sell here, but Sangster's is my establishment of choice for body care product ingredients. They have a great selection of essential oils, and very good prices on these (especially compared to beauty…More »
11. MAC Cosmetics
As much as I strive to use inexpensive and edible ingredients in my bath and beauty products, I break down when it comes to one thing: lipstick. I love lipstick.
I have purchased several lip glosses and lipsticks from MAC, and have always had…More »
12. Mill Woods Recreation Centre
Edmonton, AB T6K 3Z3
(780) 496-2900
The Mill Woods Recreation Centre offers a variety of activities. Throughout my life I've done many things here, including swimming lessons, kickboxing, spin bike classes, going to the fitness centre, and on one occasion attempting to play squash (and…More »
13. Lizard Creek Lodge & Condominiums
Last year for Christmas my fiancé got me a spa package from Lizard Creek Lodge. I'd never actually been to a spa for anything other than a haircut so I was both excited and nervous -- I didn't really know what to expect.
The package included a body…More »
14. EvelineCharles Salon & Spa
I came here once recently, as a walk-in, without anything in mind for what I wanted for my hair cut other than "short-ish."
I was given a robe to change into so my clothing wouldn't get full of hair -- this was great! I got a little bored sitting and…More »
15. Sephora
Sephora, I expected more from you.
Sephora is a store that carries many many different lines (including their own) of cosmetics and other beauty products. The prices are pretty fair for the products and the quality of almost everything I've purchased…More »
16. Buski Eye Center & Surgical Suite
Edmonton, AB T6L 6W6
(780) 450-3335
I go here for eye appointments every year. When I was younger I really liked the place ... the examination rooms and waiting area are tidy, and the front end staff are friendly. But over the last several years it just seems like they're interested in…More »
17. Dragon FX
I obtained two piercings here and will not be returning.
I was impressed by the cleanliness and staff attitude when I went here both times, but the piercing results were less than desirable. My first piercing here was a helix in my left ear. I did…More »
18. Hennessey Salon & Spa
Edmonton, AB T6H 4M6
(780) 436-4272
My hair is pretty fine, dead straight, and does not leave me with many styling options. I was trying to grow out my hair for a couple years but it just wasn't working. So after one final frustrated attempt to manage my hair, I decided I needed to get…More »
19. The Body Shop
I'm not really thrilled about The Body Shop. I shopped here for years, starting in my early teens. I wouldn't consider myself a "dedicated customer," however; I didn't shop here because the products were quality. Rather, I shopped here because at the…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
I haven't been into a store, this is a review of the product only.
My sister bought some soap from BBW and at her request I tried it for a while. But it was really quite drying (my skin's on the sensitive side) and the ingredients were not for me.…More »
21. Lush Cosmetics
I popped in here after noticing the Henna bars looked different. It looks like they do not have any black henna in their henna bars any longer, which is excellent (it's been replaced with indigo, a herb that is safe to use on hair and skin.)
However,…More »

22. First Choice Haircutters
I went here once and once only, and this experience happened a couple years ago, but I'm still miffed about it to this day.
Looking for a cheap haircut close to home, I decided to pop in here and try it. I knew I wasn't going to get movie-star-like…More »

While on vacation my fiance and I stopped at CrossIron Mills for a snack and some shopping. Walking by Premier, we were greeted by a female sales associate (wavy brown hair, unfamiliar accent) with samples of soap and what looked like bath salts. She…More »
