ChickAdvisor was born out of the frustration I had when planning my wedding with Alex (the other founder) in late 2004.
I am originally from Winnipeg and moved to Toronto a number of years ago. I was researching online for hair salons and spas to get my hair and makeup done for our wedding in Winnipeg, but couldn't find any reviews. Many of the salons didn't even have proper websites. I was not prepared to trust just anyone with my hair and makeup on such an important occasion, and certainly not without a good recommendation!
I complained to Alex about the lack of available information and reviews and he said, "Well why don't we just build something like that?" That casual conversation led to the launch of ChickAdvisor.com on September 2nd 2006.
In January 2017 we launched our men's community XYStuff.com and in the fall of 2017 we launched FamilyRated.com.
This is a great site! I am enjoying reading/writing reviews and getting cool new products to review! Just wanted to say thank you for making this possible!
Smart
Thank you for creating such a positive and welcoming site where we can feel free to express ourselves. It's been such a wonderful experience over the years that I've been a member and can't wait for what else you have in store for us in the future. All the best!
Thank You
You're very welcome. ^_^ I'm so happy I found chickadvisor, I do a lot of product testing, but never expected to find a home or place I'd spend time except to test. The forums here are wonderful!
Oh, oops! I may have been looking at the wrong Instagram account haha! Even if it's not Montreal, I'm still curious as to how your vacation was :)
Thank You
Oh that's alright! Everyone should take a step away from work during a vacation? I'm assuming from your Instagram photos that you went to Montreal? How was it there? I hope you had a great and relaxing time with your family :)
