After 15 years Trade Secrets' flagship location has undergone a make-over of its own and we love it. The newly renovated retail location will offer an additional 400 square feet of space, filled with hair care products, (Matrix, KMS, Joico, Redken, TIGI, AG and Sebastian) hair care appliances, (hair straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers, hot rollers, large assortment of hair brushes and accessories) as well as numerous brands of make-up and nail care products. Co-owners Frank and Mary have created a friendly environment, priding themselves in offering top-quality service to all their clients. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable which is the added bonus given the hustle environment at the Eaton Centre. And then there is the newly expanded salon area which offers more than just your standard cut and color. Waxing, threading, manicures and piercing are also available.
