Our latest Trusted partner is no different, and we will tell you now what makes them stand apart from their competition here in Saskatoon...why you should support LOCAL TRUSTED Businesses, rather than big box stores that don't care about you or your experience...welcome to Trusted Saskatoon the twin stores of....

Saskatoon Appliance and Midtown Apppliance World

They offer Saskatoons largest selection of appliances and have been in business for 41 years...that in itself should say something about the way they do business! They have the 2 convenient locations that well serve the North and South of the city, and they offer great opening hours to help us working people fit a shopping expidition into our ever so busy schedules! Check out their listing here and you will read the testimonials that Trusted took when we surveyed their clients ( this is an important part of the Trusted verification process, and all clients must pass with FLYING colors), they have the same great values as KitchenZ our other Trusted Appliance listing, but they offer distinct shopping experiences, as Kitchenz is much smaller and more specialized..so they really do compliment each other very well.....Saskatoon Appliance and Midtown Appliance carry many well know and respected brands ..click here to see a full list on their website,and they cover everything you could possibly want in your kitchen or laundry room ( Microwaves, Dishwashers, Cookers,Refridgeration, Garbage Disposal..even coin operated laundry for the landlords in the city! ) ...they can work with any budget..small or large to tailor something perfect for your needs...and right now they have a chance to win your appliance purchase ( up to $4000)back ...ask in either of their stores for full details! 

They also service what they sell...which can be one of THE biggest frustrations with the big box stores and large department stores...if something does go wrong it can ( and we have heard of it several times) take MONTHS to get things fixed...you see the LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY that a Trusted local business offers really does pay dividends if you are unfortunate to have something go wrong...try coping for 3 weeks without a washing machine or Fridge..yikes! 

Gerry Tarko leads a well educated and informed team of appliance specialists who love to help people find what they are looking for..they have a big % of repeat business and their word of mouth is well deserved.  We welcome them to www.trustedsaskatoon.com and we look forward to promoting and endorsing them to the Saskatoon Public!

J Marquis Salons

J Marquis has a loyal following in the city, from women ( and some men) that value HEALTHY hair care……..but believe me…that does NOT mean sacrificing glamour, color or show stopping style! Everyone loves to have a little “me” time in the salon – a fresh look, a new colour, a gorgeous cut! But your hair in the wrong hands can turn a lovely experience into frustration, embarrassment, and occasionally (heaven forbid!) more damage. The team of stylists, headed up by the beautiful and bubbly Jana at J Marquis, are dedicated to helping unlock the true potential of your hair using the unique VIDA system! Beauty does not have to mean dangerous chemicals and harmful toxins… Simply by following the recommendations of your VIDA stylist, you will create for yourself the hair you've always wanted, providing that feeling of happiness, confidence and love. Cleaning out a few extra poisons in your life is an AMAZING feeling….why not start with your beauty products?

J Marquis is 100% committed to helping you achieve a healthier lifestyle when it comes to your daily beauty regime. How did J Marquis discover the VIDA system? They were in Hollywood TEACHING stylists how to use J-Clips! That’s right….showing the stylists to the stars how to create incredible volume without a pound or two of product! Jacquelyn Marquis (founder and former owner of J Marquis Hair Salons) is the genius behind the J-Clips. Over the years she has promoted her clips not only in Hollywood but also on QVC - one of the biggest shopping channels on television. She has been HUGELY successful in training thousands of clients and fellow hair stylists in using this fantastic product! After J-Clips had been presented, the J Marquis stylists were able to learn what all the celebrity hairstylists got to learn. One gentleman spoke for 2 hours straight. That 2 hours changed the way J Marquis operated their business, and also changed their lives….and now, many of their CLIENTS lives! What this man spoke about happens on a daily basis…. For stylists, multiple times a day….and something that people are completely un-educated about. He talked about the toxicity of the hair industry and how it's killing us, especially hairstylists who work with these chemicals and a continual basis all day long. It is scary and J Marquis believes that you should be aware…and they are on a polite and caring mission to educate, inform and reform people within the industry as stylist, owners etc….and their clients! . So without hesitation they DEMANDED to know what VIDA was all about. They took themselves down to Florida and brought back the VIDA system to Canada. J Marquis is proudly the first salon ever in Canada to have it, and now they are so fortunate to be sharing it with you - the consumer, the stylists, the one with the falling out hair, the fried ends, the burnt up hair, the man, the child.....This is for anyone and everyone who has ever had a bad hair day or who has become ill from the beauty industry.

Beyond Vida , Jana and the J Marquis team also offer many other services ...including Nails by Rene...who the Trusted founder Sara , is confident does the best nails in the city.....it took her 2 years to find her, and everyone comments on her beautiful nails and unique designs!

Jana is bringing a more holistic approach to the salon , and believes firmly in treating the whole body well...not just the hair.....we suggest if you have never been to J Marquis ( which is up on Circle Drive in the same Mall as Humptys and next door to the Best mattress store in the city WISEGUYS, another Trusted businesss) ...then make a point of going along and having a look for your self.. you won't regret it, and who knows, it may change the way you think about hair care for ever!  Follow Jana's blog for some great tips and advice on a healthier you!

Conexus Insurance

The third and final Trusted Insurance listing on the Saskatoon directory is Conexus Insurance. It may come as a surprise to you that Conexus does Insurance as it is not that ‘common knowledge’ yet. Most people automatically think of Conexus as the Credit Union, but Conexus actually have many offices across the province: Humboldt, Humboldt Westwood Center, Lake Lenore, Lumsden, Muenster, Regina and of course Saskatoon. They offer Home, Auto, Farm & Commercial Insurance and have a very user friendly website where they have the option of doing SGI ( vehicle and driver renewals) services online…no need to drive to the insurance office , in fact, you don’t even have to get of your PJ’s anymore when you want to renew your plates!

You will have more than likely seen the impressive glass and brick atrium that is the Conexus ( and Century 21) building on Circle Drive, next to Home Depot and Tim Hortons. Go inside the main doors and head to the right and you will find the Conexus Insuance office. Landry heads up the office in Saskatoon, and he is not the kind of Manager that sits in his ‘ivory tower’ …Sara the owner/founder of Trusted went in one afternoon over a lunch hour to drop off some trustedsaskatoon.com door/window stickers and to personally welcome Conexus to the Trusted Family, and at that time there was no one on the reception desk, the only person she saw was a lady in a cubicle who was obviously busy helping a customer on the phone, within 30seconds Landry appeared around the corner smiling and came to see if he could help me…how refreshing! There is a warm vibe in the office, and you can tell that everyone enjoys doing what they do, and they do it well….they really appreciate the Trust their clients extend them and they certainly don’t take it for granted…they work hard to provide the best possible service and Insurance cover options they can, and this was reinforced when we spoke to their clients during the survey portion of the Trusted qualification process. All of the clients surveyed were thrilled with Conexus and really had some wonderful things to say about the people they dealt with ..check out their listing here to read for yourself! Welcome Conexus Insurance our Third and final TRUSTED INSURANCE listing on our Saskatoon directory of Safe and Trusted businesses…you deserve the ‘ Thumbs up’ !
