The Next Level

Terrific place to visit… love all the beatiful glass and helpful employees! The product in this store is top grade, and there is plenty of it. Everything you need is there under one roof and if it isn’t the staff knows where to direct you. I give them a well deserved 5 stars! !!

nice product good people

This place isn’t bad, and would have 5 stars except for two things. One, this place is insanely overpriced. For any types of pipes or bongs you would be better off going to another head shop. Though, they have a huge selection of papers, which is always good to see. My other problem with this place is the staff. I go in here to buy some papers and there’s some kids in there who think their cool cause they work there. Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably a cool place to work, but you don’t need to be a total d-​bag about it. I’m not just talking about one time (or person) either. If it was one time I’d be more understanding, maybe they’re having a bad day or something, but not every time I go in there. These people need to understand that high school drop outs are not going to be your only customers and to treat everyone with the respect thet deserve. Just cause I’m in there in my business clothes doesn’t mean I’m in the wrong store… or does it? Customers come first, not how cool you are for working in a head shop.
Three out of five stars.
Pros: Wide selection, cool stuff, wide open environment
Cons: insanely overpriced, poor staff (though not all of them).

I always go in here with the best of intentions.
Im open minded, happy and love to learn new things. Bit everytime I come in, I always catch the girl having a bad day.
I feel like with head shops, you should have knowledgable, friendly staff working — because thats what its all about. Learning about the products they sell!
Out of the handful of times ive been in here, Ive never bought anything. I go in with something in mind but the awkard expierence always makes me leave.
I feel like when I ask a question, its bothering the cashier working. It would be nice if she would say she wasnt sure, but instead brushes me off — which leaves the impression that Im just a bother, not worth her time.
Which SUCKS because although I find their prices high, they have some cool stuff Ive never discoveres before.
If you want a good priced headshop in Forest Lawn, head 3 minutes down the road onto 36^th Street and the corner of 26^th AVE SE to Hemphisphere! Staff is friendly and super knowledable and have good prices.
Cheers!

The next level at 17 Ave SE is spacious and carries a large assortment of smoking accessories. I agree with dinah g that they are not as shiny and sparkly as somkers corner but they are definately the next best hemp shop on my list. The staff seems to be friendly and knowledgeable.

When did «lifestyle accessories» replace «head shop» in the common parlance? I must’ve missed that, or maybe I caught it and forgot it. My memory’s not what it used to be.
Anyhow, the Next Level «Lifestyle Accessories» has all you need if smoking is part of your lifestyle. They have a wide selection of glass, wood, and ceramic pipes, elaborate water pipes, paper, and paraphernalia. They also have a small selection of clothing. Surprise — Bob Marley and Che Guevara tees are available for purchase.
It’s a well laid-​out store and the staff is friendly and laid back, as evidenced by the «ish» following the store opening times! All as it should be.
So, blaze on over to the Next Level if you’re in the market to accessorize your lifestyle — nudge nudge, wink wink.

Nice huge airy sunny place with personal service. Good philosophy giving the shop the same treatment as you would your plants.
This place is pretty spacious, with tons of product here. Next Level doesn’t have the same bling as the Smoker’s Corner but has a good presentation of it across the board.
You can get your hemp candy, clothing, food, jewellery here, your scales, stash cans, stash trays and vaporizers. There are T-​shirts, Zippos, bongs, blunts and books. Love the alliteration!
Tons of smoking products at fairly reasonable prices. And if you have time and you are in that headspace, just stare at their wall mural for awhile, that is worth the «trip » in itself.

This is one of the best places to buy a hookah and shisha. They have many different awesome designs and most are under $ 100. The cheapest being a $ 40 mini, (very cute and comes in many colours). They also sell both tobacco ($ 30/​box) and tobacco free shisha ($ 5/​box) in a large array of flavours.
The staff were very clean and helpful, the store is well organised and easy to move around in.
