About Paje and Honor Beauty
Why I Created HONOR Beauty
I wanted to create a beauty business that reflected the things that matter most to me.
Kindness. Inclusivity. Integrity. Professionalism. Calming energy. And really beautiful, thoughtful artistry.
HONOR Beauty has allowed me to bring together an incredible team of professional hair and makeup artists who share those values and provide wedding and special event hair and makeup throughout the Niagara Region and beyond.
Creating a calm and positive environment has become especially important to me. Weddings and important events can already carry a lot of emotion and energy, and I believe the people you invite into those moments should make the experience better, not more stressful.
I want the time you spend in our chair to feel like an enjoyable part of the experience.
Beauty, But Make It Ethical
I’ve always believed that beautiful artistry shouldn't have to come at the expense of animals.
Ethical beauty is incredibly important to me, which is why I prioritize cruelty-free professional hair and makeup products in my artistry and within HONOR Beauty.
I'm also passionate about creating an inclusive beauty experience. There isn't one definition of beauty, and there certainly isn't one type of person who deserves to feel beautiful.
My job is never to turn you into somebody else.
It's to listen to you, understand what makes you feel good and use my skills to bring that version of you forward.
Hey, I'm Paje!
Thank you so much for taking a moment to learn a little more about me, the person behind HONOR Beauty.
I’m a mom, partner, artist, photographer, educator and business owner based in Niagara Falls, Ontario. My son Preston has been one of my biggest motivations throughout my career. Showing him the importance of following your dreams, working hard and treating people with compassion has been one of the greatest parts of building my own business.
I’m also lucky to have an incredibly supportive, funny and loving partner, Jake, who happens to be an amazing High School Culinary Teacher, and my best friend!
My Life as a Hair & Makeup Artist
I’ve been passionate about beauty and creativity for as long as I can remember, and over the past 20 years I’ve built a career that allows me to do what I genuinely love while working with thousands of incredible people.
I graduated at the top of my class from the renowned School of Makeup Art in Toronto in 2006 and have been working professionally in the beauty industry ever since.
I’ve built a career as a professional hair and makeup artist in Niagara, specializing in weddings, special events, commercial work, photoshoots and makeup education.
What I love most about being a hair and makeup artist isn't simply creating beautiful hair or applying makeup. It's the connection that happens while someone is sitting in my chair.
I love helping people feel comfortable, cared for and beautiful while still feeling completely like themselves.
That philosophy eventually became the foundation of HONOR Beauty.
