Ami |
Ami , the petite esthetician and manicurist, loves her new location on Bayview Ave. “It is so friendly and nice with people coming and going,” says the cheerful businesswoman. She has built her business at different locations over 20 years since finding passage to Canada from Vietnam. And the early years were a struggle, going to school to learn her craft and working for others. But her persistence won out and now she is proud to recount her considerable clientele. “They are wonderful and loyal” says Ami. Like all practitioners on her business, Ami is licensed by the Ontario government to provide the services of the esthetician’s trade. Manicure, pedicure, body-waxing, eye lash curl and tint and biogel (artificial) nails are among her range of skills. She is currently offering 25 percent discount for a first visit to her new studio at 1659 Bayview Ave (416) 489-8292 and cell (416) 828-4354. There is a quiet pride about Ami. She’s a Canadian now and like so many immigrants who thought they wanted to go the U.S. using Canada as a way station, Ami found she really liked it better in Toronto than anywhere else. She’s glad she figured that out. It is 20 years since Ami set foot in this country and she has worked every day she has been here. One can imagine why her clientele show her loyalty.
