Donato Raises the Bar with Stunning New Salon + Spa at The Shops at Don Mills

Where do we begin with John Donato? Award-winning editorial stylist. Visionary entrepreneur. Inspirational industry leader. Without a doubt, he's made his mark on the world of hair and beauty.

Now, after much anticipation, he can add another gold star to the list - the flagship DONATO Salon + Spa at The Shops at Don Mills. 

A 6,000 square foot sophisticated sanctuary was created in partnership with II BY IV Designs and, because not one detail has been left to chance, it rivals anything in NYC or LA. It's a one-stop shop that houses hair, skin and total body treatments. The latter taking place in gorgeous suites with heated floors - at long last my prayers have been answered!

Additional amenities include an in-house image consultant that will work one-on-one with you to recommend beauty treatments...From minor non-invasive procedures (botox, microderm) to one of the many premiere hair and skin products (ORIBE, Dermalogica) that are on offer in the retail section.

At the opening soiree, I had the opportunity to meet some of the lovely and knowledgeable stylists, and was impressed with Donato's own Artist Choice range of products which were used to touch up my makeup.

Despite the fact that I'm so very downtown, I'll be back to experience a few of the myriad of services at this cutting-edge destination.

Sara Graham, Fashion Forward
		About the author:
		When Malcolm Gladwell talks about “connectors,” he’s talking about Sara Graham. This gal-about-town made her mark spending five years in (and out) of publishing as Editor-in-Chief of Canada’s top teen magazines Vervegirl and FUEL. During the out part she created, designed and managed all aspects of Sister Underwear – a collection that was not only embraced by the Canadian fashion network of buyers, media and the public, but enjoyed repeat orders from boutiques located in the U.S. Although no longer deep in the publishing or fashion trenches, Sara remains curious and connected via her insatiable appetite for culture and travel. Sara also continues to produce fashion shoots through Project, her brand management company.
