Testimonials
Minister Beverly Blackwood
Janice has been my hairdresser over a long period of time. However, she is more than a hairdresser. Everyone who comes in contact with Janice can agree with me in saying that she is not only the best hairdresser ever, but she has a heart bigger than herself. She is a caring person, always reaching out to help others and finding time to listen even during her busiest schedules. I always leave her salon with a smile. God bless you, Janice

As Culinary Management student at George Brown, I’ve known Janice for nearly half my life, and she has inspired me to pursue business ownership and community leadership. Her strength has motivated me to organize fundraisers in Brampton, and I aspire to own a successful Black-owned business and make a mark in the culinary world.

Aunty Janice is one of the hardest working business owners I know. Each time I visit her salon I’m met with a positive business environment. Aunty Janice has helped me so much in life, and I am forever grateful to her.
