Where do I start…read more.. My daughter and I booked makeup for a special occasion and arrived on time, only to sit waiting while our makeup artist arrived about 15 minutes late... coffee in hand. We brought inspiration photos and were crystal clear about wanting a natural, dewy look. My daughter specifically requested no foundation. Neither request was respected. Instead, we both ended up with heavy, matte makeup that looked nothing like what we had asked for. She aged me about 10 years. We were so unhappy that we both washed it off and redid our own makeup. The false lashes were the icing on the cake. Instead of trimming and fitting them properly, they were slapped on, didn't fit correctly, and were then painfully pulled off. No adhesive remover, no attempt to reposition them--just ripped off. I was still charged for lashes that I never even left wearing, and my eye was irritated for a few days after. Paying extra for something that wasn't successfully applied is hard to justify. Throughout the appointment I felt rushed because another client was already waiting. The repeated comments asking if I'd "ever worn mascara before" were patronizing and made me feel talked down to instead of cared for. The makeup station itself was cluttered and disorganized. Products were mixed all over hands and arms, and I never observed brushes being sanitized between clients. Whether they were cleaned out of my sight or not, the workspace did not inspire confidence. For nearly $170 after tax, I expected someone who would listen to their clients, respect the look they asked for, and provide a professional experience. Instead, we left feeling ignored, overcharged, and wondering if the inspiration photos were simply treated as suggestions. Needless to say, I won't be back.

She made me feel so comfortable during our four hair and makeup sessions together. I loved all my looks and received so many compliments on her work. She is extremely knowledgeable about application techniques, brands and answered all my questions with so much detail. She is definitely my number one choice for hair and makeup for every event going forward. I am looking forward to booking her makeup classes in the near future. Not to mention I am going to be recommending her to everyone seeking makeup/hair services and makeup classes. Thanks Sahar.

Environment: 5/5 She recently opened up a beautiful store right on Broadview & Gerrard. It's modern with a rustic edge to it and very bright and warm. The burnt orange couch she has at the front of the store reminds me of a modern take on the Friends cafe couch- very Instagram worthy! Customer Service: 5/5 When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by whoever is at the front reception desk. Professionalism: 5/5 During my first appointment, Lina was very thorough on what was to be expected - she said it would be like fine cat scratches, uncomfortable but not painful - tbh I fell asleep during the procedure. She mapped my face, and than used an app to show me all the angles matching up to the shape she drew out. At the end she gave me an after care package - with chocolate in it! Nice touch Her work speaks for itself, she is very experienced and doesn't do what's trendy- she does it all based on your face structure and current brows. Experience: 5/5 Immediately after my first appointment she booked my touch up appointment which was 8 weeks. My brows healed great- no scabbing thanks to her after care package. During my next appointment she displayed the same level of professionalism. This time- my skin was a bit more sensitive due to the time of the month, and she would continuously ask if the pain was okay. She's EXTREMLY talented, and I highly recommend going to her! Absolutely amazing!

disorganized salon, Visnja, the owner gives unsolicited advice, and criticized my hair style while…read morestill denying me service. I am sharing my experience to ensure that there is accountability for the poor service I received and because I feel there were ongoing issues with clarity and consistency in communication throughout the booking and consultation process. Before my consultation, I contacted the salon to confirm whether they could accommodate my hair type and whether ongoing appointments, including Saturdays, would be available. I was told that this would be possible, and I was also referred to a stylist. Based on this information, I proceeded to book and attend an in-person consultation. At the consultation, I attended in good faith, having planned my schedule and travel around what had been communicated to me. During the appointment, I was asked additional questions about my hair history and products. the owner indeed ordered me to carry out specific tasks including contacting my previous hair stylist in Nova Scotia to ask her about the hair dye, sending her photos of my products. I took the time to follow up after the consultation with the information requested, as I wanted to ensure I was being thorough and cooperative with what the salon needed. During the consultation itself, Visjna chaged her mind and said we cannot take you on Saturdays despite having already greed to do so prior to my consultation. So there was discussion about possible alternative appointment times, and I was given the impression that arrangements could be worked out if I was flexible with scheduling. I responded by being flexible and open to different days in order to make the booking work, even though this required me to adjust my original expectations. I accepted Wednesday, her suggestion However, after all of this, I was later informed that the salon would not be taking me on as a client. This decision came after I had already attended the consultation, provided additional requested information, and adjusted my availability based on what had been discussed. This made the overall experience feel inconsistent, as the information I was given initially and during the consultation did not align with the final outcome. My main concern is not that a salon may decide not to take on a client, as I understand that capacity and suitability can be factors in any business. My concern is that the communication leading up to that decision was not clear or consistent, which resulted in me investing time, travel, and effort based on expectations that later changed. After I shared my experience, I received a response from the salon suggesting that my review that my review was harming their reputation and questioning my intent in leaving feedback publicly. I found this framing concerning, as my review was intended to describe my experience factually with the communication process, not to attack the salon or its staff personally. I believe clients should be able to share feedback about inconsistency in communication and expectations without that feedback being interpreted as an attempt to harm a business. Overall, the salon lacks professionalism, respect for clients time, and poor and disrespectful attitude towards clients hair types ands tyles.
