First off, I am not a model. I have an average body type, a little disproportionate, a few war…read morewounds, but for my height and age a healthy body. I made an appointment to do a shoot with Shimona (who runs Pinup Perfection) on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I drove to White Rock with a bag full of costumes and a bouffant filled with excitement. Shimona was a doll herself, with her cute blonde pin-up hairstyle and dazzling smile, she was super friendly and made me feel totally at ease when I did the shoot. Not everyone can make you feel relaxed when you're just in your skivvies. She was full of creative ideas and different positions for me to try out. Believe me, some of those positions are more difficult to hold than you think! It was like doing yoga in thigh highs! Keep your legs pointed, chest out, stick out your butt, keep your back curved, extend your neck, and smile!! The photos turned out great, and we ended up doing another shoot for a zombie pin-up session at the Police Museum. Before you die, you have to get photos done with this lady because then you'll have some saucy photos to show your grankids when you get old. Look at what a hot number granny was back in the day!

Professional, creative and FUN! I have done photoshoots with Shimona Henry twice, and both times…read moreshe has made me look like a major babe. I have no modeling experience, but I didn't have to worry for one second about flailing helplessly in front of the camera - Shimona coached me through minor tweaks and touches that made each pose.... perfection. Everytime my face froze, my fingers stiffened or my tummy relaxed her expert eye caught it and she gently reminded me to adjust. I would like my 10,000 dollar per day supermodel fee now, please? ;) She has costumes and props for all body types - but do note that if your feet are not a size 9 you should bring your own hot shoes - I forgot mine! :( My next big birthday event will definitely be a party at Pin Up Perfection. Every woman can look like a Pin Up!

I think I might have been better off trying to do my own highlights with the cap and a hook. I'm…read morenot sure what was wrong with her but she seemed half asleep and didn't listen.

First time going there...showed her a picture of dark hair and asked for full head of low lights!…read moreShe ended up giving me full head of highlights and shadow roots instead. Ending up leaving in tears and she refused to refund. Had to go somewhere else and pay to get it fixed! Do not go to her. CAUTION!!!

The short: - tried…read moreonce in May 2021, and will go back if looking for a economical haircut - likely the right place if you know what (e.g., hair style) you want. May not be the right place if you are looking to get an advise on haircut The long: - 90-free parking if parking in the commercial/retail lot. Register your license plate with the salon when you arrive - stylist Ellen was nice to talk to and I liked her work on my hair - nice shampooing of hair before the cut - good value, ~ CAD 20 for men's haircut - clean and modern ambience - no public restrooms - good Covid-safety measures: staff wore mask, partition between stations - good protection from loose hair, found very little loose hair on my skin and clothes Reasons for not giving 5-stars: - communication (in English) was slightly challenging - did not get any/much input when I asked for hair style suggestion. Could be related to the communication challenge.

I thought that if I showed a picture of what I want that it would help the stylist. Alas, that was…read morenot the case. I just wanted bangs and a little layering. I have no idea what this girl was doing. The result looked nothing like the example picture. I had to ask her to fix it and she responds" you should have told me earlier" as though I work for her. Shitty customer service and shitty hair stylist.
