It was a very pleasant experience. You have to make an appointment to go. The staff I dealt with both on the phone and in person were very polite. it was a small showroom with three "aisles" of merchandise, one of each item out on display. You can touch everything. There was no pushing product on you or anything. It was a very relaxed shopping trip. I bought 7 brushes and a brush roll.

It's helpful if you want to compare brushes. I even took some of my own brushes from other brands and they helped me find dupes. If the drive is not too bad, you should go for it!

Wow that is a neat idea to compare your brushes with potential brushes from the line. I am heavily considering going there now. Thank you for sharing your experience with us

Omg this looks so Zen. Exactly how I imagine it would be. I wish I lived closer.... I would taking some my old Mac brushes (only the ones I'm looking to replace) and spending an blissful afternoon w some Japanese tea and brushes

It was a nice time. It could easily get real expensive though! :shock:

Has anyone ordered brushes online to Canada? If so - how was shipping (cost, length of time) and were you charged additional duty fees? Thanks!

Ladies, would you recommend the g503 or 504 for contouring? I'm thinking of going with the 504 since it's smaller.

 

[mosha010]

The 503 is already small. I think the 504 is for more detail work like on ur nose etc. The 503 should be ok. Unless u have this tiny little cute face lol. Go with the 503. It's a more standard siZe. And foolproof

I ordered three brushes to Canada last November (2013). I received the brushes within the 7-10 day shipping estimate or perhaps even more quickly... I cannot quite recall but it was fast and I believe the shipping was a flat rate of $12 US. Basically, exactly what it says for International shipping on the Hakuhodo USA site. HTH

I agree with Mosha. The 503 is surprisingly small. You don't need smaller!

I really want to try these brushes! I think I might invest in some at The Makeup Show NY inMay.
