Good morning my faithful readers!

On to last night….

I got an invite from the fabulous Glenda Fordham of Fordham PR to the grand opening of Donna Dolphy’s stunning new salon in Yorkville: http://www.donnadolphy.com. 

When you enter the salon, you immediately feel welcome in the bright and airy space.  I walked in to find Donna getting her hair done and clearly feeling the excitement of her grand opening.  Even in all the madness, she took the time to warmly greet me and I felt like a part of the family right away. 


I met one of her head stylists, Craig, up on the rooftop and he showed me the terrific view of Yorkville from up high.  Donna’s salon is nestled in the perfect spot to attract high-end clientele and with her skill and reputation as one of Toronto’s top stylists, she will undoubtedly fill her appointment book quickly!

Armed with my camera, I thought I would take some shots of the event, but I was fortunate enough to meet a wonderful photographer named Raymond Siu who kindly provided me with all of the photos featured in today’s blog.  Check out his amazing photography at http://www.raymondsui.com/. Thanks Raymond!

Watching Donna work her magic is truly something to behold!  She is really talented and within minutes she expertly styled one of the models and demonstrated her creativity and knowledge in the field.  I for one can’t wait to let her to get a hold of my tresses!  Go see her and get the Donna Dolphy treatment!


Until next time my Glamazons!
