Our story

Owner & Aesthetician

Hi babes, I’m Donna, owner and aesthetician behind Le Saphir Esthétique.
I graduated from college in 2013, and what began as a career quickly became a lifelong passion—one that continues to evolve with every chapter.

I fell in love with aesthetics because I genuinely love taking care of people. Over the years, my clients have become friends, and Le Saphir has grown into a space rooted in connection, confidence, and self-care. What inspires me most is how vast and creative the beauty and wellness world is—bringing together skincare, artistry, fashion, education, and business. It’s a space where learning never stops, and where I’m constantly inspired to grow.

 

My journey

  • 2013 – Graduated in aesthetics and began working in a salon using G.M. Collin, a professional skincare brand I’ve proudly worked with ever since.
  • 2014 – Completed advanced training as a medical aesthetician to deepen my expertise.
  • 2015 – Became certified in eyelash extensions, lash lift, and resin powder nail techniques (we now proudly use Builder in a Bottle).
  • 2017 – Completed certification in spray tanning. Today, we proudly use NUDA, a Canadian brand we love.
  • 2018 – Took a leap of faith and opened Le Saphir Esthétique, my very own beauty salon.
  • 2019 – Added brow lamination certification, expanding my expertise in brow artistry.
  • November 2024 – Le Saphir entered a new chapter and relocated to L’Orignal, allowing space for growth and expansion.
  • October 2025 – Welcomed Le Saphir Studio, a dedicated yoga studio created to extend our vision of wellness beyond beauty.

 

Our vision

Le Saphir is more than a beauty salon—it’s a home away from home.
With the addition of Le Saphir Studio, our mission expanded to embrace mindful movement alongside self-care. From advanced skincare treatments to moments of stillness on the mat, every experience is thoughtfully designed to help you feel balanced, confident, and truly cared for.
