The Ten Spot ~ review



The Ten Spot ~ Charlottetown

A few weekends ago, my parents were in town and it was the prime time to book a pedicure with my mom. I'd been eyeing a new spot that was under construction with plans to open mid Spring. Prior to stepping into "The Ten Spot", I looked them up online to see what was available. They are considered a "beauty bar" and offer a plathora of services. What really caught my eye was that their studio spaces looked so bright and inviting while being minimalistic. 

I booked us in for an afternoon appointment as mom and I spent the day shopping for flowers and planting them, so it was the perfect time to rest. We set out to enjoy the late afternoon, while leaving 'the boys' home to make dinner.

43 Queen Street, Charlottetown

We were warmly greeted upon arrival and offered a beverage. Both of our aestheticians were prepping their work stations, leaving us a few minutes to explore the lovely nail polishes and skin products available for purchase.










Over the next hour we made friendly talk with our aestheticians as they soaked, buffed, shaped, scrubbed, massaged and polished our toes. I went for Essie's ~ Bachlorette Bash (a warm fuchsia pink) while my mom went for OPI's ~ Got Myself into a Jam-balaya (creamy peach), which just so happened to give her an instant tan. 



The girls did a wonderful job checking in with us to see if we needed drink refills and if everything felt okay. The service was exactly what we were looking for, convenient, friendly, peaceful and relaxing.  Sierra and Alyson had great customer service and left me needing an excuse to come back ... so I booked an eye brow appointment with Alyson for the following afternoon. I received the same quality service the next day and Alyson even offered to completely fix my big toe that had a tiny smudge on it. 

I really appreciate a service where everyone takes the time to help you out. From the girls who greeted us, to Sierra and Alyson, everyone was on board to making the service exceptional for their customers. The prices were on point for the quality of work, and I've been doing my best to recommend this new hot spot to friends and co-workers. 

I highly recommend this little gem to anyone visiting/living in the Charlottetown area. They have walk-in appointments available and "quickie" services for those who need touch ups or don't have a lot of time to spare. I can't wait to go back... next time I think I'll go for a manicure and facial. The Ten Spot is a Canadian born company, this being their thirteenth location.

Let me know if you've experienced this beauty bar and your thoughts. There are 12 other locations around Canada, so I hope you take the time to pamper yourself and "feel like a 10".
