Questions from locals
Can I take the ION from Lakeshore to MK Elegance Studio?
Yes. Board southbound at Conestoga station and ride into Uptown — southbound trains stop at Willis Way on Caroline St, a block from King St; walk a few minutes south to 116 King St S. Coming home, the northbound stop is Waterloo Public Square. It’s often quicker than parking on a busy Saturday.
Is MK Elegance Studio a good option for students living in Lakeshore?
It’s set up for it: students get 10% off every visit with valid ID, brow threading takes about 10 minutes, and the ION drops you a few minutes away. Book an exact time on Jane App between classes, or walk in when there’s a gap.
How long does the drive from Lakeshore take?
About 10–12 minutes south on King Street North, longer at rush hour around the universities. Park at Waterloo Town Square South Lot — free for 2 hours on weekday daytimes, free evenings and weekends — and enter 116 King St S through the Luna Aesthetics door beside Pilot Coffee Roasters.
