Did you know that Palliser Rooms / EQ3 is an independent family-owned furniture store that has been operating in Saskatoon since 2002. Brian and Judy Bird first owned and ran the local furniture store for about a decade and a half, then when the opportunity arose their daughter Allison, and son-in-law Tristan Rawlings, were able to purchase, and now manage the family business. There’s not a day that goes by where you won’t see Tristan at the store making sure every aspect of their operation runs smoothly. From the back office and computer systems to warehouse and shipping he makes sure customer needs and customer satisfaction are his first priority. 

Palliser Rooms / EQ3 specializes in offering a generous selection of contemporary furnishings and a personalized service that is forward-thinking and client-focused. The vast majority of their product lines are Made in Canada, which is not the case with most furniture stores, and this means a lot to their loyal customers. As you walk into their beautiful store it kind of takes your breath away, your eyes get wider, and you’re like a kid in a candy store as you can’t wait to start shopping and trying out the furniture for size, colour, feel and fit. You can’t get that experience online, that’s for sure!

Tristan and his dedicated team of fifteen describe their philosophy as one that "embodies' an 'all about choices' ideology. Whether you have an inherent 'do-it-yourself’ personality or find decoration is an overwhelming process, their staff is committed to providing valuable information, inspiration, and the necessary tools to make your project, large or small, a success. For them you can really put your feet up and get comfortable because they know shopping for furniture is a personal experience and IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU, the customer! There’s definitely no pressure at Palliser Rooms / EQ3, as they welcome you to take five minutes or come back five times to make your decision.

“Trusted is extremely happy to promote Palliser / EQ3. I have been impressed with the integrity of the company from the very beginning. Tristan truly cares about his staff, their  customers and the reputation of the company. They bend over backwards to provide the best experience and I have always been very happy with the standard of the product and the level of customer service when I have shopped there with my family."

I recently talked to a new family that just moved to Saskatoon and one of their first stops after buying their new home was to head to Palliser Rooms / EQ3 and furnish their home with the best product and selection this city has to offer! They were so pleased with the amazing customer service, the huge selection, and the great prices.

Palliser Rooms / EQ3 - Given the Thumbs Up as a Trusted Saskatoon Furniture Store for over 10 years! 

It’s easy to see why Hairstyle Inn Salons have such a great, long-standing history in Saskatoon and so many satisfied clients... me included! Every time I walk up to the counter I’m always greeted with a smile no matter who sees me first. I’ve been lucky enough to have my hair done by a few of their talented stylists and each and every time they are professional, friendly, and really take their time to get to know me personally. At either HSI location, it really is a place where everyone knows your name... or at least that’s how I feel! I’ve been to other salons around the city for many years and Hairstyle Inn Salons are by far the best around, and I’ll continue to go there and rave to others about their amazing team and outstanding service!

The team at Hairstyle Inn Salons also gives back to our community in a huge way. They always step up to donate items and time, including volunteering at The Persephone Theatre, C95 Radio marathon, and last but certainly not least, the non-profit that Shelley James founded in 2006 - TLC@HOME. TLC@Home stands for Touching The Lives Of Children at Home. They provide a Christmas shoebox full of gifts for children at several participating inner-city schools in Saskatoon. They started with a few classes in one school and have continued to grow the number of children we reach each year. Their goal is to reach every child in each of the community city schools in Saskatoon. 

"The Trusted team has been actively involved in fundraising and donating our time to this great initiative. We treasure the days over the years that our team has been invited along to distribute gifts directly to children in the schools. I am so grateful to have Laddie, Shel and the team as part of my business and part of my life. " - Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder

Our involvement with  TLC@Home sparked the idea to launch a non-profit category on Trusted Saskatoon to further support 4 local non-profits and the Trusted team is proud to support TLC@Home as a Trusted Saskatoon Non-profit.
