It was years ago but I called ahead of time to make sure the store I wanted to go to had it and I remember I had to call a few places because some were out of it. The person on the phone told me where in the store it was so I when I got there I went straight to the back and to the left (or whatever the directions were) and I asked the sales person there and they got it for me. I think it was at Nordstroms and I assume it was a Shu counter. Good luck, I really hope you get one!! I absolutely love mine! And just a tip, I heat mine with a blow dryer first and it curls my lashes like you wouldn't believe and holds the curl all day! HTH

Unfortunately, the shu Uemura brand is a restricted brand and Sephora won't ship that product to Canada.

These curlers only cost around £5 in Japan, so Ebay is your best bet there are loads on there.

Wow, it's so cheap in Japan...I gues that's where its made so its gonna be cheaper--by far one of the best eyelash curlers out there...I can't figure out why because it looks just like a regular eyelash curler...!

Another suggestion is to give the Shiseido curler a try. I recently bought it and I love it! You can buy that at The Bay for $16.

I got my Shu curler from Holt Renfrew a few years ago, but I was told now that Shu is no longer sold in Canada, even at Holts. So I think that the restriction that Sephora won't ship to Canada has something to do with that. I remember hearing about it, but I can't remember exactly what was said. I also remember hearing that Shu will be sold again in Canada again, but maybe in the next year or something.
Why not get someone to do a CP for you?

It isn't that great of a lash curler, there's better ones that are more easy to access.

i bought my shu eyelash curler at the sephora in toronto. i don't remember how long ago it was though...maybe a year? i also got the fiber xtension mascara, which i looooooove. i was in sephora about a week ago and didn't see the shu line around anymore. did something bad happen? lol (although i didn't really take a *good* look but who knows)
i loved the eyelash curler so much that i bought a new one for my friend off eBay and it was super cheap even with shipping. (compared to sephora) you might want to check that out.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Being in desperate need of an eyelash curler I bought a Revlon one from the drugstore. It is doing a pretty good job. I think I will give ebay a try though.

I was at the Sephora store in Yorkdale and they had the curler, basic mascara and fibre xtension. It was about 2 weeks ago

Try Shiseido Curlash if you can't get hold of the Shu curlash  They're wayyyy better IMO

I went all the way to the San Francisco boutique to find out that it wasn't really that great

I need to get a new lash curler, I always buy drugstore brands; does it really make a difference? They all look pretty much the same to me.
