This past weekend, I happened to be in Richmond Hill, one of Ontario’s cities that has eased lockdown restrictions. While running errands, I was tempted to drop by one of their newly reopened salons for a long awaited haircut. Normally, I visit chain salons owned by large corporations. But as we enter our new normal, I wanted to support a small business, having realized the economic setback due to the abrupt temporary closures.
Enter Farzaneh, owner of Pefection Beauty Salon. Her joint immediately became by go-to spot for a fresh fade and well-groomed eyebrows at an affordable price. Not only did Farzaneh and I had excellent conversation and laughs, but she gave me the haircut I have always wanted - a slicked back pompadour with an effortless fade. Typically, previous stylists I have visited don’t always execute what I request. At times my fade would be extremely tight or my sides would be poorly blended with my top. However, Farzaneh made it her mission to provide me with a post-lockdown look that echoed the name of her salon - perfection.
Located on 8763 Bayview Avenue (North of Highway 7), the boutique salon housed a minimalist design that boasted soothing grey walls with white and silver furnishings. The ceiling to floor windows were a huge plus as natural sunlight was maximized throughout the vicinity. There was a separate station for hair washing and drying in addition to a private room for waxing. Having 23 years of experience under her belt, Farzaneh successfully took all the intimidating amenities of a salon and housed them in a chic, yet welcoming environment.
An individual’s hairstyle can play a huge factor when it comes to achieving self-confidence. At times, we become entrapped in our comfortable routines that trying out new styles or giving new stylists a chance on our physical appearance can be daunting. However, reflecting upon my visit, I am glad I took the risk to see a new friend who provided me a look that I have desired ever since my adolescent years. With salons reopening, I strongly recommend checking out Perfection Beauty Salon and seeing my girl, Farzaneh. We all crave perfection and her salon will satisfy that craving.
Drop by for a visit or call ahead (905) 707-7557.
Candidly,
Jonah
