I came to the conclusion that my hair needed to be dyed... one colour! I recently ran into an acquaintance from college who I found out is a part owner of a salon in the Danforth. Since I have no loyalty to hair salons and wanted try a new place I booked an appointment t see her that week. Even though this location is super far from my place, it is conveniently located next to Chester station. I went up to the second floor and was greeted by the friendliest assistant I had even encountered. She brought me tea and showed me to my seat. Mandye (the hair dresser) went over colour options with me and suggested a couple different things she thought would work well. Their selection of trashy tabloid magazines was impressive and faster than I could say "what other ho did Jesse James sleep with?!" I was done and ready for my bang trim. In the end the service was good, my colour is great and as a bonus there is an AMAZING shoe shop (Balisi) a few doors down.

Bonus fun and enjoyable part was Kel, the shampooist. A very pleasant person to be around. Perhaps the best part of my visit, was probably when she massaged my scalp so wonderfully with that peppermint hair product. *drool* I wonder if we can get our scalp massaged like that, all day long??? I only wished that I was offered water, I had to ask for it, twice. (The last hair salon that I went to was Evoke (uptown). They spoiled me w/ juicy mixes (cranberry with grapefruit), and happened to be sharing some rich chocolate cake with all clients that day). Forgiveable, though. Also, I would have preferred the assortment of magazines to be closer to me. I sat in my chair while the colour set, blah'd and bored. I texted, but in the end I was still bored and too physically tired from all my other errands that day to bother getting up and picking some mags up. I surely would have looked at them, were a few brought over. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd be open to going again, but would be willing to pay a bit more for more service (drinks). Kel is a great and personable shampooist, I'd love to go back just for a shampoo and scalp massage!

Rachel is clearly fulfilling her calling and following her passion.

Thank you Rachel!

I am super picky when it comes to makeup and I always just opt to do my own for special events. I…read moreconsider myself a very good 'makeup applier' as it is so it's rare for me to let anyone else touch my face. After some persuasion, I agreed to have a makeover done during one of the 'ladies' nights' that a friend of mine had organized. Rachel Renna was the makeup artist that they had hired for the evening. It didn't take long for me to figure out that Rachel is no ordinary makeup artist. She is the next big thing (mark my words). She is one of the most talented artists I have ever come across, and that's including all the encounters I've had with makeup artists throughout my TV career. The thing about Rachel is that she just 'gets' her clients' style. She had one look at me and knew exactly what I would love and what I would hate. Above and beyond that, she handles a brush like no one I've met before. The way she builds, the way she blends, the way she shapes brows... OH MY! The truth is, my words cannot do Rachel's talent justice. She is the best there is when it comes to makeup artistry (I've attached the pictures to prove it) and it wont be long before she becomes an industry leader. You better get in on this while you still can because now that the word is officially out, her waiting list just got a helluvah lot longer.

Naturally, I had extremely high expectations. Liz, in so many ways, surpassed these expectations from our initial trial run to my wedding day. Like most brides, I have no idea what would be the best look to suit my facial structure and my dresses. Liz provided knowledgable guidance and executed our looks of choice flawlessly. She kept her calm on a very hectic day; indeed, her constant smile put everyone at ease. I would recommend her highly to any future brides or anyone who needs some good pampering now and then. Thank you, Liz. I am so glad you were my make up artist on my big day.

Her specialty is make up that makes your skin look flawless and her method of application is so natural. She has a real gift for understanding the anatomy of the human face and being able to highlight your best features while underplaying the less flattering ones, all with the gentle strokes of her makeup brushes. She has lots of pointers on both hair and makeup that will enhance your face and outfit. Liz's philosophy is 'Less is more' and her ability to use less makeup to create maximum beauty is a pleasure to watch while working with her. Not only is she talented, but she's also created makeup brand called Yaby. The pigmentation of her eye shadows and lipsticks (which are so long lasting) is quite unparalleled. I have tried lots of diferent brands, everything from Mac, to Dior to YSL to urban decay and I'm yet to come across such rich pigmented colours. Liz is also incredibly patient which is a virtue especially working with brides who can be super fussy about their look. In addition to of those great things I mentioned, she is FUN FUN FUN! We had a blast during our make up trial, through the course of the wedding and have continued the relationship even post-wedding. She's someone who brings a light hearted zaniness to the process of making you look fabulous.

Very disappointing. I booked the polish free pedicure $55 - 45 minutes…read more The girl was late to start 5-7 minutes and then ended the service 10 minutes before it was scheduled. I asked her and the front desk about this and they said the polish dry time is build into the time of the pedicure... basically paying for waiting for the polish to dry. But since I didn't get polish the service was ended early. The photos from the website make the place look modern and cool. In reality this place is a dump with a paint job, dirty floors and even a hole in the floor. It might have been nice when it first opened. There is a nice projector tv and I saw a customer order a glass of white wine. Not worth the $60 for a pedicure that I could have done myself.

For my (new) husband and I, one of the biggest factors we were looking for when searching for…read morewedding vendors was responsiveness. You could hire the fanciest stylist and most well-known makeup artist in Toronto, but what if they take 10 days to reply to your email or only give you the time of day a week before your wedding? That might not be a problem to some couples, but it was to us. It actually took awhile for us to find a makeup artist in Toronto who a) didn't have certain demands regarding travel, packages, etc., b) didn't take 5 days to respond to us, c) actually showed genuine compassion and interest in their work and craft, and for their client. I met Daniela a few months before our wedding, and knew she was the one! Out of over 20 makeup artists in Toronto that I contacted, she was the only one who suggested an in-person meeting to talk about my wedding. Honestly, I can't even express how much I appreciated that. She came to our meeting prepared, actually took the time to take notes and understand what I'd be wearing, the look and style I was going for, etc. I knew from the very start that, with Daniela, I was in very good, talented, and responsible hands. And as a bride, trust in your vendor is so key - and I trusted Daniela fully! On our wedding day, Daniela came early and prepared, and was totally unfazed when my mom changed her mind about what she wanted. She is the epitome of creativity, talent, and professionalism. And most importantly - I loved the look she gave me on our wedding day! She can do so many types of looks, and can totally diversify if you ask her to. Show her a picture of what you want - and she'll replicate it. She is so incredibly talented, and you absolutely can't go wrong with choosing her to do your makeup, for whatever occasion, wedding or otherwise! Thank you so much, Daniela, for being a part of our wedding day! Her service is an experience beyond 5 stars.

She's also a very warm person and great conversationalist, even managed to make me forget I was getting married in several hours and I felt quite calm after. Thanks Daniela!!

Let me tell you why.. When I had my first P&S experience, I was dealing with really bad cystic acne. I've always had acne and hit a very rough patch (no pun intended) as an adult.. it was really bad for me. Most of my adult acne would be around my jaw and chin line, and would often leaving scarring and significant discoloration. I was living in Seattle and had started seeing a dermatologist who recommended a oral medication that would totally dry out my skin, along with bringing a host of other serious side effects. I didn't really feel good about taking such a heavy duty medication, but I was also at my wits end with my skin. That's when I found P&S. My very first P&S facial was a basic version plus an add on of the sea salt microdermabrasion. I was also introduced to the power of face oils. I cannot tell you how amazing my skin looked and felt after that first visit. Plus my facialist taught me so much.. like how drying out my skin actually intensified my acne by making my skin go into overdrive with oil production that ended up clogging my pores and hence contributing to cystic acne. Ugh!! P&S also introduced me to a number of amazing skin care products that have become part of my routine.. some of my favorites are the face oils for skin challenges with rosacea and acne, the black mud and propolis creams, the vitamin C and algae serums, a pumpkin exfoliating mask, and the rosehip oil. I LOVE all these!! And since that very first P&S visit all those years ago, I've been a faithful customer. Every time I'm home (I still live in Seattle and get home a few times a year to visit my folks), a visit to P&S is a must!! I typically go to the King Street spa - the ladies there have been awesome! But just a few months ago they opened a Mississauga location and I'm in heaven!! My folks live in Lorne Park (community in Mississauga) and this newest P&S location is literally 10-12 minutes away. No more fighting traffic to get downtown and then having to figure out parking and the traffic on the return trip - yaayyy!!! The ladies in the Mississauga location are wonderful!! Friendly, informative and very down to earth. Both of my two services since they opened have been amazing, and I've been really happy with my product purchases! Thank you P&S for offering this service to people who value a good customer service and experience, and hold a value for organic health care and wellness for our skin!! Please don't ever go away
