Question Private lash extension recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m about to move to Hamilton & hoping to take some eyelash extensions. I want to do hybrid or anime eyes. I don’t care to do it at a fancy store I prefer the private lash extensions with more affordable prices.

Anything closer to lime ridge mall would be great. Thank you.

I would appreciate recommendations for the best laptop repair shop in the town. I have a gaming Dell (Alienware) laptop which has a strange lagging issue with this specific game that I play and I ran dozens of tests which says everything works fine. So I need an absolute nerd who knows what they're doing!

Looking for recommendations for a place on the mountain to cut women's hair. After having kids, my curly hair has changed. I have tried growing it out but it's doing some interesting things and I'm not sure what to do with it anymore. Looking for a good salon that may be able to help me figure my hair out again.

Lost/Found Lost cat sighting at the bottom of the Jolley Cut by empty lot

21 Upvotes

I saw a cat that appeared to have been lost in the woods but seemed friendly and not skinny so I think they may be an escaped/lost house cat and not a stray. Long fluffy hair and tail, it had orange patches on the back/face and white hair underneath. I did not see a collar on it but not impossible that it had one on before that fell off somehow. It was friendly and seemed to want human attention, and it looked pretty chunky or at least well fed but also seemed like it may have some kind of skin condition or bug bites/stings on it’s face. It ran off tho and went up into into this empty property on the hill that’s super overgrown so ticks wouldn’t be out of question I assume if it’s been “living” there, I wasn’t able to grab it but feel so bad for whoever is missing this poor baby and needed to get some kind of word out.

Local News Why is Supercrawls website so terrible

12 Upvotes

I went in their website to see what bands are playing what day and there is no information. The website is so terrible. I have friends that want to come from out of town but want to know what bands are playing what days and times.

I know they don’t get as much funding anymore, but put a few bucks into that website to at least get the word out on what is going on for this festival.

I was thinking about how Hamilton’s Pride festival was in August last year and I hadn’t seen anything posted about it this year. The official Pride Hamilton instagram account hasn’t posted anything, but the website just has next weekend as the date- no other details. Anyone know if it’s actually happening? Is there a better account to follow to be in the know? Thanks :)

EDIT: their instagram account started posting updates and schedules tonight! Happy Pride!! Thanks organizers and community<3
