I am the owner of pink Lime Salon & Spa in Calgary and I would like to explain to you my side of the story.
Yes we have moved locations - we moved in November of 2008 from Richmond to DownTown Calgary. We have expanded our location from 1600sq./ft to over 4000sq./ft. We pride ourselves on being the company that goes above and beyond for our clients.
What I see here is a client that feels that our rates are too high. I would like to compare some of our rates with our competition for the services you see listed in the above complaint.

As you can see from this little comparison, we are right on par with the some of the other big names in Calgary. We are too high, and we are not the lowest either. We are right in the middle.
I remember this day when you and your girlfriends came in. What the mishap was - an old price list. We did honor the 50% off and explained that this price list that was sent to you was not sent from pink Lime, it was one that came from an internal source within your organization. I apologized to you at the time, we discussed this together and offered a deal for a future visit.
I am sorry that you felt that your service during your visit was not up to par and this I would like to have the oppertunity to remedy if you would allow for us to do so.
We are not sneaky, or do we hide our pricing.
We pride ourselves on our service.
Our team is harding working, determined to ensure that your time with us memorable.
We get client testamonials all the time praising our team and how great they felt after leaving.
I truly am sorry that you didn't get this same feeling upon your exit. Please give us the chance to redeem ourselves in your books....
Have a great weekend,
Bassem - Owner
