P&H Salon and Spa: All your services under one roof!

Posted on March 26, 2012March 30, 2020 by Elaine

A while back I had the opportunity to attend the official grand opening of P&H Salon located at 77 King Street E in the East end of Downtown Toronto. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make the opening but the kind people of P&H salon asked me to come in anyway and they even booked me in for services with some of their most talented people!

P&H

I just have to tell you how nice everyone is there, even from the moment I tried to park! I was taken aback at the $25 parking fee in the parking lot next door to the salon, I called the salon to see if there was alternate parking as I’m not too familiar with the area (I’m a West End girl 😛 ) and the kind gentleman from the front desk came outside to scold the parking attendant and then tried to help me find parking elsewhere LOL!  Talk about service! I ended up finding parking the next street over for a more reasonable $10.

Anyway, on to the salon itself. Considering I came to visit the salon BEFORE the grand opening, it was super duper packed! Every chair in the salon was filled and it was buzzing with clients and stylists. My first service was with Hana for eye brow threading.

A little about Hana:

Hana El Chaar has over 10 years experience as an esthetician, continually learning the newest industry techniques and procedures. Her services range from manicures to skin care correction, permanent hair removal, cellulite reduction, waxing, specialized eyebrow threading, electrolysis, eyelash extensions, herbal organic treatments, bodywraps, photofacials and much more.

Hana

I had only had my eye brows threaded once back in high school and I got a bit of a cut from it. I’ve always been pretty low maintenance with my brows just a little tweeze here and there for stray hairs so I was curious what Hana would think about my brows (apologies for the poor quality pictures – lighting was not optimum and my makeup appears to have smeared all over!).

^After Threading^

Can you tell the difference? Yeah I couldn’t really either LOL! But Hana pointed out to me the subtle change she made and also pointed out that one eye brow was longer than the other. Who knew, maybe my eyes aren’t that “crooked” but it was my brows! The threading didn’t “hurt” but I wouldn’t say I felt nothing either. It was over with quite quickly though and no redness or irritation at all so Hana definitely knows what she’s doing!

My next stop was to get my hair done by Fay.

A little about Fay:
Fay Linksman is an Artistic Director and Hairstylist/Colour Specialist with over 13 years experience, offering her clients an open environment to express their ideas. She has trained with L’Oreal Professionnel and Toni & Guy in NYC, and Sebastian Professional both in Canada and the United States as a member of their Canadian Artistic Team. Fay’s belief in continuous education means she does not miss a beat in the styling demands of today’s beauty junkies and fashionistas. Her teaching pushes the borders of creativity by blending technical precision with artistry.

Noor who sent me the invite was so thorough and we spoke at lengths about what type of hair I had and which services I was interested in. I’m so glad she introduced me to Fay. You can really tell she loves her job and she is definitely an expert in her field. Not once but a few time during our session other colleagues came to her for colour advice and questions and she was always willing to help out.
As a bonus she also has curly hair so I had complete trust in her! She gave me a bit of a trim and changed my colour up for me:

I love all the red going through my hair!!!

P&H Salon and Spa is truly a one stop place to get all your services done. You can opt for an eyebrow touch up, quick blow out or even a head to toe makeover!

With a team of friendly people who love what they do you can be sure you’ll be in great hands! If you live or work in the East end of Toronto be sure to check them out! You can find them on their website and on Facebook.

I want to also thank the lovely Noor for the invite! You can chat with her on Twitter!

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
