The product of a bit-too-much wine and a serendipitous jaunt down Queen West, The Third Floor is the brainchild of Amanda Lee Caskie and Minna Loponen, two stylists who decided to start their own salon. Five years later, they're still rocking it.

All right ladies, keep it down. It's time for a MAN to deliver his two cents on this Lawrence Park nail salon. Or at least, someone fairly close to a man. A man-boy really. Whatever, shush. I came here for my first mani/pedi experience with a group…More »
