Sephor-ahhhh, the Happy Place for cosmetiphiles. They will do mini or full makeovers, they offer…read moreclasses and you can try-before-you-buy. I've always loved that they hire expectation-defying and non-binary staff of all shapes and sizes. I stared at the woman with the green hair because she had the colour that I was going for but failed to achieve. Throw in a few older people and we've got a conversation happening. Products are expensive but no more so than at other stores, and they carry more lines. They also have their own line which is good quality. Onto the freebies: you get a loot bag during your birthday month. They have other giveaways based on your spending so be sure to register for the Insider card. CAA discounts are available online only but you can use the accrued points toward in-store gifts. A final endorsement: their snappy bags are so stylish and durable that I occasionally make an exception and take one instead of using my own fabric one.

Mel was so so so amazing from the very start! I hired Mel to be my makeup artist on my wedding…read moreday, there were a total of 6 people that morning. Mel was timely and professional (and so much fun to laugh with). I loved everything about my makeup and so did my bridal party! She knew exactly what would look good on myself and offered guidance when needed, as well as skincare recommendations leading up to my wedding day, which was SO appreciated. She always responded to my emails in a timely manner and was lovely throughout the entire process!

Ayushi is awesome!!!…read more I worked with her as a photographer for a collaboration project highlighting her makeup style she did on a model (specifically a night glam look). The project was 100% her vision, and she executed it so beautifully. It was really easy for me to photograph with her creative eye and beautiful makeup application. She is so kind and sweet, super creative, and easy to work with. She has a great eye for makeup and art. I love the fashionable way she views the world! Looking forward to working with them again! Ps, the makeup application lasted the whole shoot. No touchups needed!! Would definitely trust them with my wedding makeup!

Loved working with her for my bridal make up! Listens and does a great job! Very professional !read more

If you are a person who knows beauty trends, you know that now is the time of the bold brow…read more Unfortunately I was finding other salons in the area just weren't getting it. When I saw that a new waxing salon was opening on Richmond Row, I decided to make a change. I wanted someone who specialized in waxing and could achieve the look I was going for. Right away I was impressed by their online booking system. You can go on the website and choose a service and then select the time you want. As a child of the internet, I would much rather book online than use a phone and I'm sure anyone can appreciate the discreetness when booking an appointment for something a bit more personal. The salon is fresh and clean with a few products to purchase. The women working at this salon are always very friendly, never fake. On my first visit, I was taken back to the waxing room within a few short minutes. I was given a background on the products they use and how the high quality leaves you less red and is a more comfortable experience. As someone with fair skin, I was happy with that! Their claims were true. While I was still a bit pink in the end, I was not as red as I normally get. In the couple times i have been to Smooth, they have switched to a wax that doesn't require the strips. I felt it was much less pain overall with the same result in the end, beautiful brows. These girls know what they are doing. Never again will I risk getting my brows done at a regular salon. Too many times I would leave with extremely skinny brows or bruised eyes (ouch!). For those who want a bit more grooming and choose the waxing way of life, Smooth has many options for memberships from brows to bikini's. If you purchase the membership it ends up being a bit cheaper in the end. And gentlemen, there is a whole menu of services you can get as well. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is new to waxing or has been doing it a while, very low ouch-factor with high quality results, PLUS it is locally owned and in the heart of Richmond Row!
