DREAM GREEN

August 3, 2022

Protect our green space and invest in a more sustainable life I have always had a passion for being in nature and engaging with those that are like minded.  From a young age, living outside Montreal on the West Island, friends and I would spend countless hours exploring in the woods outside our new subdivision. …

Why are salons still closed March 25, 2021?

March 25, 2021

As we slide into the end of March 2021, and a third wave of COVID 19, many Ontarians remain trapped in a surreal existence reminiscent of the film Groundhog Day where weekend, weekday and holiday are all identical.  If you are amongst the thousands of beauty professionals in Toronto, formerly working in hair salons, barbershops, nail salons etc., the unfair,…

Corona Diaries Day 46

May 4, 2020

When business owners were urged to close up shop on March 16, as flattening the curve of the Covid19 had to be a joint effort, I remember the overwhelming feeling of panic… how was I going to keep my businesses running, my employees paid, provide services to our loyal clientele?

March 31, 2020

A few days ago, America passed China as the epicentre of the virus and is fast approaching now has over 200,000 cases.  When you look at the daily graphs of cumulative coronavirus cases worldwide, China and South Korea are topping off and the rest of the world are in steep inclines.  This does not bode well for…

Corona Virus – Day 9

Do you have Sensitive Skin?

March 11, 2020

When we start thinking about our skin, it really is creepy weird.  Humans shed 200 million skin cells every hour, which equates to approximately half our body weight throughout a lifetime.  With all this flaking taking place, scientists have always wondered how the skin’s integrity endures, and how it is so adept at maintaining equilibrium……

30 Years of worldSALON

December 19, 2019

I feel like an imposter how can thirty years have passed? I remember so clearly events that occurred around our opening; last minute painting after clients had left and munching on the only food I could find in the area – chocolate covered espresso beans from Gina.  On an empty stomach, I don’t advise this…

AwardsHair2019

March 19, 2019

Alas another awards season has come and gone and now we wait patiently for the film festival circuit to begin to get our second dose of glamouritis! I missed the Oscars once again due to no cable, so I suffered through a delayed feed on Twitter until I got bored and went to bed.  The…

New Chignons …

February 26, 2019

This month we decided to create some fun new updo videos to entertain and inspire.  Throwing your hair up in a creative way can be a great thing to practice for special events or on day three or four when you don’t feel like washing.  The right tools and products are key.  I love non-stick…
