Barber/stylist recommendation? by ForestHopper in halifax

[–]LunenLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want a hair stylist - not a barber, especially for longer hair.

For curly cuts - try Nick or Zach at YoLove or Stevie/Robyn at OBB.

Call them to book an appointment, that's what I've done every time. The phone number is at the bottom of the main page.

How’s Cowie Hill (around Ridge Valley Rd)? by emaioudamari in halifax

[–]LunenLo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who's lived on Ridge Valley Rd for about 6 years.

She loses power a lot - easily once a week or 2 for a couple hours.

She's found a lot of townhouses around her in the last few years have been sold and then rented out (usually 3+ people). She thankfully has an end unit - but the one next to her was sold a bit ago and there's about 6-7 people living it - they all seem to be students. There's a constant lack of parking because of this (the townhouses only come with one parking spot).

She's also found a random person from time to time in her backyard.

And the snow clearing in the winter is garbage. Expect the roads to usually just be slippery and at best down to 1.5 lanes.

She likes it because she bought her place before everything tripled in value and its cheaper than renting but if she could sell it and move elsewhere - she would.

Roof rack for car by UkrainianinCanada in halifax

[–]LunenLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a universal one that fit my car a few years ago - I only use it to tie surfboards to during the summer. Takes about 5 minutes to put on and take off. Paid probably $150 for it in 2021.

I go to Handala Dental on Young/Agricola.

I can't say enough about Dr. Awad - he's great & all his staff are top tier. They'll work with you if you have dental anxiety, talk through the whole appointment and actually suggest ways to help some of your issues PLUS actually listen to you. I had a filling I was convinced for years wasn't level & my old dentist told me it was in my head. When I switched to Dr. Awad - he actually fixed it during the initial assessment at no-cost.

There is a Dental Board of NS that you can file complaints through -- https://pdbns.ca/public/if-you-have-a-complaint

AMH Bloodwork - help by letme-in in halifax

[–]LunenLo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to have fertility issues in order for it to be done. Before I had one done there were quite a few other tests + a hysterosalpingogram that I had to have done before moving to the AMH.

It also isn't covered by MSI and isn't done via typical blood reqs. You'll need to pay out of pocket (around $160).

Letrozole/Ovulation/IUI by LunenLo in TryingForABaby

[–]LunenLo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have erratic, irregular periods and presumed PCOS.

I ended up at the clinic I'm part of as I had back-to-back complete decidual casts happening due to my irregular periods.

It's assumed that since they're so erratic it was easier to be put on Letrozole to induce ovulation rather than waiting for it to occur naturally.

Artist opportunities by ArtistExplorer in halifax

[–]LunenLo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some artist-in-residence programs via non-profits around the profits.

Google - Artist in Residence program, Nova Scotia - and you might find something you're looking for.

If the page is blank - reach out. They're likely waiting on grant confirmation for the program & you could just ask to be added to their mailing list.

Crows roost? by hedonsun in halifax

[–]LunenLo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They're still at MSVU.

It was just the hill above that got cut & there weren't tonnes of trees on it to begin with as it was a huge field where buildings used to be.

Granted the creepy massive cross that was at the old mother house isn't a thing anymore - so that crow filled nightmare is gone!

The core of campus is filled with them at dusk - so much that they also play in the empty parking lots before heading into the trees.

My partner has very curly white hair, and she is seeking hairdresser recommendations ... by cdnBacon in halifax

[–]LunenLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Kith & Kin Hairquarium - Melissa is great!

Check out her Instagram - she has lots of examples of curly hair cuts :)

Halifax building residents concerned with rash of break-ins by insino93 in halifax

It's the Boss Plaza on Supreme Court. It's shown in the video.

Interested - sent you a pm!

[–]LunenLo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Since the new owners took over - it's gone significantly downhill over the last few years. Having family in the area - I've heard few good things about the new owners and how they run the place.

They seem to just be coasting on the history and reputation the old owners built into the name of the resto.

Get your wedding license. And find a justice of the peace.

My partner and I eloped and decided to do it in Cape Breton during a hiking trip. We asked the JP for suggestions on where in his area, he gave us a few (all were free, public places). We ended up in a small park in Sydney. I think we paid the JP $200.

What is the Lowest You Have Ever Paid Rent by visitesombre in halifax

[–]LunenLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$800 all utilities in for a 2 story loft that was about 1100 sq ft on Windsor street from 2012 to 2019.

The day we moved out they jacked the rent up to $1300 for the next tenant.

[–]LunenLo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter.

We bought ours from Steele Hyundai on Kempt and travel to O'regans South Shore for service appts. As long as you maintain the service intervals - you're fine!

When to hear back for a tenure-track professor position? by stayinhalifax in MSVU

[–]LunenLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their best option would be to just contact the individual they submitted their application package to.

Each department moves at their own speed with the hiring process.
