Filomena Salon Spa

Love this place! You can’t tell from the outside but this place is huge. Not only are the stylists talented but I can get my waxing done there too.

Got my nails done less than a week ago with shellac. I usually don’t post reviews but I am quite frustrated considering this service was almost double what they advertised online, and my nails have already chipped. Usually my nails last over a month without chipping, and cost half the price. Won’t be going back.

Got there at 1:45 for my 2pm mani/​pedi. 2:10 the receptionist put me at a pedi station and it was 2:15 before the esthetician showed up. Barely said two words to me but kept looking at what the lady in the next station was doing, waved to a friend who came in, looked over at what everyone else was doing and part way through the pedi was surprised when I mentioned that I just wanted clear polish on my hands — nobody had told her it was a mani too. When we got the the mani station, the lady mumbled a few things and I had trouble hearing her and then started telling me about her friend who had showed up. In between she asked me what colour I wanted on my hands and I said, again, clear. So she didn’t put any polish on at all. I’m not sure what colour clear is to other people but to me — and to every other esthetician I’ve ever been to — it means take the bottle with the clear colour and put it on. This woman used it as an excuse to finish 20 minutes early (I was told it would be at least 2 hours and she finished in 1 hour and 40 minutes) to run and see her friend that had shown up. No tip — of course that goes without saying. The weird thing is the job, when she paid attention, was good. Not great, but no drips. I am undecided if I would go back but I would definitely specify that I did NOT want this person again and there really are better places in the area.

They double dip. Think about it ladies, when they give you a Brazilian, where does that wooden spreader end up? Then they dip it back in the wax pot. Ummm… nope. I even asked at the time of booking the appointment and was assured that they do not double dip. I don’t care how hot that wax gets in the pot, I don’t do double dipping.

I went to this spa/​salon for a Brazilian. I wanted to check this place out because it had such good reviews as well as it is a little bit closer to home rather than making a trip to Vancouver which I usually do, and on Wednesdays they have a promotion on Wednesdays so I thought, «Why not?» I can honestly say I’ve had better, well friendlier service in my trips downtown and other places in Vancouver. I just thought I’d be able to find an affordable esthetician close by. When I was there the esthetician just asked me my name and didn’t even introduce herself to me, or try to make small talk to even make me feel the least bit comfortable, she just kind of gave me instructions on what to do. I thought for getting something pretty personal done she should at least have introduced herself to me and maybe talked to me a bit to keep my mind of the pain. She wasn’t rude or anything but I’ve definitely had friendlier estheticians in the past who seem to be upbeat and enjoy their job and would tell me how to deal with the upkeep and tips post waxing, because of my experience I prefer places in Van, wish I could find a good place in Coquitlam though with good prices. It wasn’t bad but it was just okay.

Been here a few times to get my eyebrows done. Great job everytime! I’ve been looking for a new hairdresser and think I’m going to try here

The best waxing anywhere! I found them after moving from Richmond and am so glad I did.

Just moved to Coquitlem and was in need for a new gel nail technician. i had heard about Filomenas from a friend and it was highly recommend with everyone i met. Im super picky about my nail technicians and getting gel nails done but i was AMAZED by this place.
Beautiful atmosphere, great staff and amazing services.
Janine Evers was my nail technician and she is amazing! I would recommend this salon and spa for every service.

I come to Filomena for their Brazilian wax because it’s one of the best wax (for «down there») I’ve gotten so far –and I’ve been to some pretty good ones in downtown. The owner of the salon is very fast and efficient, she knows what she’s doing and gets straight down to business. It’s normally over before I know it, with only minimal pain, which you must expect ladies if you’re going to brazil.
The salon is also clean and nicely decorated, it always feels airy in there which makes me feel more comfortable.
Overall, I would highly recommend giving it a try! Oh, did I forget to mention, there’s 25% off waxing services every Wednesday!
