Big Birthday Celebrations & Important Salon Update

December has arrived!

It’s funny how every year can pass, and people will still complain when we get our first snowfall. Well, I’m the opposite, I get very excited. In fact, the first snowfall this year my daughter Madison cried she was so excited. It was pretty sweet to watch. It’s as if we forgot we live in Canada and every year snow will fall in the winter. Lol. I actually think we got snow very late this year, I was wondering if it was going to be a rainy Christmas. The recent snowfall we got was actually so pretty and Harper had a blast frolicking around in it.

 And speaking of Harper, she turned five on Monday, November 29! I’ve developed a new tradition with the girls where I allow them to choose one friend and we play hooky for the day and celebrate. It’s been great so far this year with the two of them because I find birthdays end up giving me major anxiety with all the planning and cleaning up afterwards. I find even with the gifts; the kids are excited at first and then they’ll forget all about them two weeks later…Well for the most part anyways. So, with that in mind, this new tradition has worked great. This year, Harper chose her little besty Julia to celebrate with her. They’ve been friends for four years. She is one of the siblings of Madison‘s friends from her old school and her mother and I have developed quite the friendship. We talk about home décor, good coffee, good wine and many other mommy things… and some girly adult things too lol.

It was such a fun day! We went to Glamour Gal Spa in Vaughan where the girls got to make a Christmas ornament with some slime and they both got a manicure then we all had a dance party! Oh yes, as moms, we got involved too. This place was incredible. From there, we went to Teppanyaki, and the girls had Shirley Temple cocktails while watching the chef at the station light onions on fire. They were very impressed. And I almost forgot to mention the best part, my husband arranged with a friend of ours to borrow his fancy Mercedes Sprinter limo service! It was great for me because I didn’t have to drive but this vehicle was amazing, it pulled up and as we got in we noticed the TVs and music was playing inside. That was pretty fancy. The seats also massaged the girls as we drove around town to all of our stops.

In the end, Madison had a small case of FOMO, so we picked her up from school and me and the two girls went to the mall to do a little shopping. Madison wanted to shop too but I had to tell her it wasn’t her birthday, so I said whatever you purchase here, I’ll send you the bill later once we get home. I didn’t let her off, not even $.25. Kids need to learn; clothing doesn’t come for free. (Although she tried to come home and clean the whole house even mopping her bedroom insisting that I pay her to recoup the money she spent). It was a fantastic day overall and these are the moments that kids will truly cherish forever.

On another note, I can’t believe we are in the thick of our holiday rush of bookings. I’m very excited that our doors are open this year and we can enjoy all the festivities of Christmas with you. No matter what you celebrate, there’s something about looking at a pretty tree with decorations and hearing the cheesy Christmas songs play all over the radio. Well, I quite like them.

I’ve loved being able to provide a community and a space for women to feel beautiful, develop friendships, laugh together, cry together, and have deep conversations with one another. Although you may not see my face around all the time, I’m constantly in the background thinking of ways to ensure the salon only gets better and better.

With that in mind… this coming January 2022, our prices will increase up to 10%.

We cannot thank our Elevate Family enough for their continued support in what has been the most unpredictable couple of years in our industry. There is nothing we value more than the experience you have with us when you walk through our doors. In order to keep providing our clientele with the utmost level of quality and a cozy feeling, we will be raising our prices slightly in the new year.

Our new prices will align closely with industry standards, the quality of our stylist’s work, inflation, and the rising costs of the product we use. In addition, we’re constantly updating our technical skills through continuous education, so your hair continues to get the best treatment. All of you are unique and require a completely customized approach (that’s what I love most about you), the time and effort it takes to complete these services have increased and more products and resources are needed to give you the quality we all stand by.
