Before any travelling or special occasions, I always look forward to trusting in Todor to make my eyelashes gorgeous! I trust the glue that he uses, the high quality full length and volume, as well as his dedication to his craft. It’s also one of the most relaxing and restful naps! Thank you again and again, Todor

I've been coming to Galina Studio for years, it is an absolute gem in the heart of North Vancouver! Galina and Todor are true professionals at what they do. They always offer thoughtful recommendations, and I leave happy with the results every time. The atmosphere is so warm and relaxing that it makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy the time spent there. They make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Highly recommended!

Todor has been doing my lashes for a couple of years now, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is very professional. Todor and his wife, Galina, are very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Gala Studio.

Others about Us

I first discovered lash extensions when I lived in New York and was excited that when I moved home to Vancouver lash places had cropped up everywhere and I would be able to get them here. I tried a couple of the franchise lash places but it seemed like the quality was all over the map, they wouldn’t last long, or there would be clumps and were more expensive than I was used to so I gave up for a while. Then someone recommended Gala to me and I am soooo thankful. Todor does an amazing job and is so meticulous and takes a lot of pride in his work. The lashes just seem to stay on way longer and keep their shape really well. Ive been going for probably a year and have yet to be disappointed. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Gala Hair studio for the last 10 years and I have been always extremely pleased with the way how Galina does my hair. The cut, the colour, the highlights – all done with the touch of a Pro. As a Business Professional, it’s important for me to maintain certain image. After a hair-do with Galina, I always get compliments about my hair. I have referred several of my friends and they all became regulars to the salon and Galina’s fans. She is a hair magician. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxing! If you visit Gala hair studio- you will become fan too! Thank you Galina for your magic touch!

It’s been 2 weeks and 3 days since I got my lashes done at Gala, and I’m still getting compliments on them! Some have fallen out, but the majority are stuck on, and not hanging in wonky directions either. The only problem is deciding what to tell ppl when they approach me with “excuse me, but your lashes are amazing!”

My hair has always been tricky to work with because of the texture, and I felt like I would never find a hairdresser that could make me feel happy about my haircut. One of my friends referred me to Galina, and I was so impressed with her hair-cutting techniques, her amazing esthetic taste and, of course, her warm and friendly attitude. I’ve been Galina’s client for about 10 years now and have had my hair cut, coloured, and styled by Galina, and I leave the salon feeling confident and excited with my new hairstyle. Galina is pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, and a real Artist with integrity. She knows exactly what works for your face shape and helps to ensure that everyone is feeling their best when it comes to hair. I would highly recommend Galina to anyone, who wants to walk out of a hair salon feeling confident and happy!

I’ve been getting my eyelashes done at Gala Hair Studio for over six months and it’s amazing. I’ve gone to all the other places on the North Shore and, hands down, Gala is the best. They stay on the longest and Todor (the fellow who does them) spends as much time as he needs to get them done, no rushing. Also, he adds a lot of lashes, much more than other places. He can do any amount too – I love dramatic so he usually adds like 80 – 100 lashes. All in all, I would 100% recommend Todor at Gala. He is amazing.
