Best of the City: Makeovers

BOMBSHELL HAIR
BOMBSHELL HAIR Civello 887 Yonge St., 416-924-9244 Hair extensions have improved a lot in the last decade: once strictly the look of Britney wannabes, the procedure is now popular among women who covet Kate Middleton’s full chestnut waves. In Toronto, the go-to specialist is Sarah Mitchell at Civello, who skillfully bonds real human hair to your existing locks. It can last three to five months.
MAKEUP MAGIC
MAKEUP MAGIC Boxx Cosmetics 416-921-8608 For a flashbulb-ready face, society women call on Boxx Cosmetics founder Sandra Milligan, a master of the unnaturally natural look (i.e., “I’m not wearing a lot of makeup, I just happen to be the most beautiful person you have ever seen”). For special clients, she makes pre-gala house calls. From $75 for full makeup.
STREAK-FREE BRONZING
STREAK-FREE BRONZING Do My Hair 583 Mount Pleasant Rd., 416-544-0505 We can all agree that tanning beds are bad news, but that doesn’t mean pasty white is the new bronze. Fake your sun-kissed glow with a full-body application at Do My Hair. The midtown salon hand-applies a lotion from the St. Tropez line, a favourite of Hollywood types. Pre-tan exfoliation treatment means no mortifying streaks. From $60
