It had been three years since I had been in to Beauty Bar at 2142 West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano.  So…having just moved back into the neighbourhood with my boyfriend, I decided to pop in.

My reason for stopping by, aside from it being a cool store that is fun, bright, organized and great for gift ideas (my two cents), was to solve the ‘problem ‘of too many products in the shower.

Basically, I wanted to satisfy both male and female “scents” for body wash or soap (read: I like nice soap in the shower AND I wanted to make us both happy…and clean!).

I was greeted by Emma who immediately understood my ‘soap needs’ and pointed me to the “Fresh” product line. She even recommended a product that her last boyfriend liked and sold me on the spot!

What’s more is that Emma also gave some great tips on lip gloss (also from Fresh) as well as body lotions that would be good from pregnant ladies (I have a few friends that might be needing some tummy love soon!).

The soap recommendation was a hit…we love it! Ironically, Darren, my boyfriend, had been into the Fresh store in New York and was instantly drawn to their massive soap display and packaging (see photo on the right).

I went back in last night to find another soap (they’re a big hit at our place) and to do a little more Christmas shopping for the family. Emma was again very helpful, personable and took lots of time to ask questions and get to know her customers. She even told me a story about a couple women who had been in shopping earlier in the day. It is obvious to me that she (and Beauty Bar staff) takes great passion in her job….big points!

To be honest, Beauty Bar’s customer service was so great that I have booked to get my makeup done there before our upcoming Christmas party! What’s cool – Beauty Bar was fully booked that evening (apparently they are the place to go before an event) but Amanda (another great sales girl) squeezed me in.

Wow…Beauty Bar is definitely on my repeat list!
