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.

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

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 has a great set up with fabulous lighting and she did my make-up in a beautiful, natural look.

I flew from Vancouver to attend this school and I feel it was well worth it. I'm so happy I took…read morethe "risk" to travel here. The first reason I chose this school was that I felt the curriculum and the length of the course was most compatible to me. The second reason is that I appreciate transparency. This school clearly listed their rates and their schedule on their website. For some reason, many schools don't post this information online. When I called, I didn't detect any pushy vibes of saccharine sweetness like I've experienced elsewhere before. (My tolerance for that kind of thing has worn thin over the years). No sales pitches here. When I arrived, I was struck by the sincerity and good nature of everyone at the school....literally everyone. This is easy to say because the class size was small. Five students! No over crowdedness and no students struggling to see demos. That's precious. I've been to a much larger school with slicker marketing and appreciate the establishment for what they taught me. This school, however, is closer to my heart because they operate in a way which is not possible for a larger operation. There wasn't as great of a divide between admin and students here and they did not in any way cater to the lowest common denominator by patronizing students with a higher than thou culture. The best part of my course is instructor Shannon Taillon. I've had jaded teachers before and if they still deliver the material, I don't care. Shannon, on the other hand is extremely generous with her time and energy. Imagine that! An instructor who truly cares and goes beyond her job description and does extra things here and there for her students. Shannon is a rare gem. The quality of education I received was of the highest calibre. Additionally, I was impressed with how many volunteer and job opportunities presented to students. I'll end this review now. I'm getting sleepy but I thought I'd post before I get busier. This is a seriously underrated boutique school. I enjoyed my time here so much that I'm sad I only have two days left :( Usually, I can't wait to finish classes. P.S. I just completed an Eastern Bridal Workshop with Rob, the owner of the school. I was hoping to do a workshop like this for so long so I was beyond thrilled Rob was kind enough to offer this during my time at the school. I got my money's worth and more. Rob is a very good teacher because he honestly critiques and presents material in a way that is easy to understand. Like Shannon, he takes time to make sure you understand and execute the techniques properly. If you find yourself at this school, you will also run into Lori-Ann, who works for the school. She has the sweetest disposition and makes the school a nice place to be. When I arrived there a day early for my program, instead of waving me away, she gave me a tour of the school and allowed me to store my materials in closet. It's all the small, kind hearted details in this school which make the experience memorable and mean so much. Even after flight, rent and other traveling expenses, I feel that my education here was a great investemnt. I will miss the school.
