Laura: hair stylist
A true island girl, Laura was born here in Victoria but lived most of her young life in Nanaimo. Since she was a small child, Laura had always been drawn to the magic of hair salons. The upbeat music, the bright track lighting and the hustle and bustle of eccentric stylists snipping and colouring away, transforming their clients’ hair into wearable works of art. In fact, salon magic didn’t come back onto her radar until her late 20’s when she decided she was going to “figure out” how to care for her own curly hair. After many traumatic salon experiences, and MANY hours researching on YouTube she finally found a curly hair specialist (shout out to Katie at Image West in Vancouver!). It was a truly life changing experience. Laura received the best haircut of her life and walked out of the salon feeling…beautiful. She was so inspired by that amazing experience and wanted every curly haired woman to feel the same way after a visit to the salon. Although she had zero experience in the industry, she decided to take the plunge and become a stylist herself.
She attended the Hair Art Design program at the John Cassiblanca Institute in downtown Vancouver. Wanting to dive deeper into curlyland, she went on to specialize in curly hair cutting under the education of Gillian Tudor, Master Stylist and the Western Canada educator for DevaCurl. Shortly after graduation, and after 12 years of living the city life in Vancouver, Laura was ready to get back to her.
