Trusted Saskatoon Brags about Passions Beauty Studio & The Barber Corner!

27. Aug 2018 Trusted Saskatoon Saskatoon Salons, Saskatoon Spas, Trusted Brag Blogs, Trusted Tips

The Trusted Saskatoon team is thrilled to welcome Passions Beauty Studio & Barber Corner to our Saskatoon directory of excellence in the Saskatoon salons category!


Passions Beauty Studio & The Barber Corner

Passions are a Local and National Award Winning Salon located in Warman, SK. Chelsey opened the salon & spa in 2009 and she continues to grow and evolve the business. She recently opened The Barber Corner and launched her own hair product line PRIME Hair Brand! 
The Warman salon is beautiful and it offers clients a unique salon & spa experience. Chelsey recognized that each team member has a different skill set and they should be equally valued, as such they work as a team to maximize on each other's skill sets to better serve their clients. This means you could have more than one team member working on your hair to ensure the best results! 
This is the first time that our Trusted Saskatoon Team has seen this as a regular occurrence at a salon and we think it's fantastic!





Owner Chelsey Harder takes great pride in her business and she works alongside her staff to ensure that they stay up to date on all the latest trends in colour, hair and styles. As soon as you step into the salon you feel at home and are treated like family. They truly offer a wonderful experience from start to finish! 














Don't take it from us - hear what some of their regular clients had to say:




"I have been a client at Passion’s Beauty Studio almost since the beginning. I started going there in 2010 and I have been impressed since day 1. I’ve seen this small-town start-up company evolve into an award-winning, top-of-the-line dual company who produces its own hair product line. Passion’s Beauty Studio is nothing but the best. It is a luxurious and unique space. I have never had a bad experience at Passions. I have had my hair dyed, styled and cut many times, my nails done and facials, I even got my grad hair and makeup at Passions. 
I had the luxury of being one of Corey Harder and the Barber Corner’s first colour hair clients. Recently, I have hopped on the Prime Hair Brand train and I have enjoyed the volume shampoo and conditioner, texture spray and thickening mist. These products have been a huge game changer for me in styling my hair as I have very fine hair. Overall, my experience at Passion’s has been amazing. There is always a friendly face to talk to! They have a large beverage selection which is especially nice when waiting for colour to sit. I am and always will be a client at Passion’s Beauty Studio."      - Brooklyn Boehm





"They are unique and innovative and keep up with the times. They are always continuing to improve on their products and services. They give back a lot to the community which I like and I am always impressed with the service. I recommend them to my friends and family and give them a 10/10!" -Matt Gore (Martensville)


When we were talking to Passions Beauty Studio & The Barber Corner's clients they all commented on how great the service was and that they really like the fact that their staff take ongoing training to improve on their skills and keep up with the trends. Chelsey and her team are friendly, caring and we highly recommend them!

Trusted Saskatoon warmly welcomes Passions Beauty Studio & The Barber Corner to our directory of excellence in the Saskatoon Salons category, and we are proud to give them the thumbs up!


Congratulations Jess Tetu owner of Just For you Day Spa and Lia Reese

7. Feb 2018 Trusted Saskatoon Saskatoon Make up, Saskatoon Spas, Trusted Partner News, Trusted Tips


Congratulation to Trusted partner Jess Tetu on the opening of her 4th Just For You Day Spa and her first retail location for Lia Reese Canada. Sara, the Trusted founder, wrote the following article about Jess and why, at Trusted, we encourage you to have the mindset of - Don't just try local, BUY local.  


A Saskatchewan Success Story

Recently,  I had the pleasure of attending the soft launch of the new Just For You Day Spa in Saskatoon. This spa is the 2nd Saskatoon location and is nestled on the corner of 33rd and Quebec. I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing hot stone massage in beautiful surroundings, then spent some time relaxing in the stylish and cosy lounge. 
After a cup of tea, it was time to shop at the new retail store for Lia Reese,  which is a beautiful little store connected to the spa. 

The location design is all Jess’s inspiration, and she is extremely hands on. I found out a while ago that she is the queen of repurposing and personally creates many of the gorgeous pieces of furniture and decor in the spas! 

This spa is the third location that Jess has opened in the last 6 years. That in itself is something to be in awe of, especially when you consider that she is a young entrepreneur and wife juggling motherhood and life, also, she only recently turned 30! 

I first met Jess just over 7 years ago, at the time she was considering opening up her second Just For You location in Regina. A huge leap of faith and an enormous undertaking. It has been a roaring success in the Queen City, and  I believe, is still the largest spa in Saskatchewan. 

Jess's business has grown so much, and she now employs over 100! As an entrepreneur myself, who employs 7 people, I can't imagine! What an enormous responsibility - over 100 families, relying on your business and their pay cheque for their bills and kids extracurricular activities. How would it feel to know your everyday decisions and risks in business could impact so many lives? Jess takes it all in her stride with grace, and is, by all accounts, a fair and generous employer and a thoughtful leader. 

Lia Reese was added to her portfolio in recent years. This is her baby, and something Jess feels she created from scratch! Lia Reese is a cosmetic and makeup line manufactured in Canada. It is a pure Saskatchewan product, the names of the nail polishes are witty takes on our small town and city names, lipsticks are named after women who Jess loves and been inspired by, the marketing imagery features Elly Mayday. A successful,  international plus-size model who comes from Jess's hometown of Craik, SK - Elly is a cancer survivor and a gorgeous and inspiring warrior woman in her own right.  
I think you can agree; there really couldn't be a better brand ambassador for Lia Reese Canada! 
The products, created with the utmost care are beautifully packaged, I strongly urge you to try them for yourself! 

Jess Tetu was not born into vast wealth and privilege, she came from humble beginnings and overcame adversity at a young age. She is driven to succeed, and her hard work has been recognized. Jess is the recipient of multiple entrepreneurship awards, including YWCA Saskatoon Women of Distinction Award and ABEX Young Entrepreneur of the year award. Jess is also extremely community-minded, she volunteers a staggering amount of time and resources helping those in need, supporting local businesses and non-profits. Most recently she founded 4seventyone Recovery Resources - a non-profit assisting families battling addiction.

In closing, ladies (and gents), I challenge you to use the last of the international brands of makeup and skincare. You know,  the items on your dresser or cluttering up your bathroom vanity. Instead, support a local woman whose products are just as good (if not better), and who is positively impacting the local economy and our community across Saskatchewan in so many ways!  Swing by the new store in person to try,  or directly buy online at liareese.com. Check out the new Just For You Day Spa for yourself, you deserve a visit! 

This is a picture taken next to my bathroom sink, I have been a fan of Lia Reese everything for a few years and I do have my favourites! 

Congratulations Jess, I am proud to be a fan, a friend, and to have you in our Trusted community of local businesses run with integrity!   Sara 

Lia Reese Cosmetics and Skin Care are the Newest Additions to Trusted Saskatoon!

14. Apr 2016 ChandraG saskatoon cosmetics, Saskatoon Make up, Saskatoon Retail, Saskatoon Spas, Trusted Brag Blogs, Trusted Partner News, Trusted Tips

Founded right here in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by Jess Tetu, Lia Reese Cosmetics and Skin Care line are all about celebrating the prairies. When I sat down to interview Jess, I asked her one, simple, question, “how did a small town girl from Craik, Saskatchewan decide to develop a cosmetic and skincare line?”, her answer was equal parts genuine and endearing. With a smile she said “I can’t explain the feeling of being able to make people’s day, every single day". This is just one of the many reasons why we're thrilled to be welcoming Lia Reese to Trusted Saskatoon in the Speciality Retail category!


Jess Tetu is an impressive Woman, she is a multi award winning entrepreneur and in addition to Lia Reese she owns two huge spas in Saskatchewan , Just For You Day Spa in Saskatoon and Just For You Day Spa in Regina (Both are Trusted of course!! ) . She also runs Lia Reese Academy that provides outstanding esthetics & Spa wellness training programs for qualified students. 



The feel-good vibes from Lia Reese don’t end there! 

When Jess was first approached with the opportunity to create custom cosmetic and skin care lines, it was of utmost importance to her that they did whatever they could to be environmentally conscious. Everything Lia Reese is Canadian made, and Saskatchewan inspired. There is NO testing on animals, and product development is executed animal cruelty free. Best of all, the hair used in their brushes is from animal rescue shelters, and is done with a totally safe brushing process. The names of the cosmetic products caught our attention straight away ...lipsticks called Crazy Boss Lady ( apparently this is reference to Jess herself !! lol) , Canadian Girl , Bunny Hug, Bridge City and Jess's Sangria ( a nod to her favourite patio drink!) Blushers called Peek-a -boo and Lustworthy and even the brushes ...angle Fluff Brush being our favourite!



Its so easy to get your hands on Lia Reese as it can be purchased online, and we happen to know first hand that their items are beautifully packaged and delivered with personal handwritten notes to every client !




A happy client shared " I am so impressed with the quality of the product I purchased online, and I was thrilled when the order arrived so beautifully packaged ...it was a real gift to ME! "


Go ahead and treat yourself - you deserve it! If you’re located right in Saskatoon so if you want to browse their products and try them in person, you can find them at Just For You Day Spa and Gift Studio, and there are solid plans to expand to other retail outlets throughout 2016.



Jess said the thing she's most excited about is:


“I really strongly believe that looking confident makes you feel confident. Healthy skin is the most beautiful make up you can wear, while the makeup itself should accent the most beautiful parts of who you are - inside and out”. 


We couldn’t agree more, Jess, and we are so proud to have you from our hometown, and our home province, and mostly as the newest partner for The Trusted Saskatoon Directory.


Lia Resse Canada are your Trusted Saskatoon cosmetics and skincare experts and you will find them in our Saskatoon specialty retail category
