Irene: Senior Hair Artist

Irene is known for her warm personality, creative eye, and genuine connection with every client who sits in her chair. With over 20 years of experience — and a lifetime spent around the beauty industry — hairstyling truly runs in her blood. Growing up with a mother who’s a salon owner and stylist, Irene was surrounded by the energy, laughter, and artistry that come from helping people feel their best.

Irene is passionate about healthy, personalized hair and believes that every style should reflect her client’s lifestyle and individuality. Her approach blends honesty, education, and care — and she’s known for her easygoing sense of humor (often laughing at her own jokes) and her ability to make anyone feel instantly comfortable.

Clients describe her chair as a place where you can relax, be yourself, and leave feeling confident and refreshed. She’s a little quirky, always smiling, and has a natural way of turning an appointment into an experience that feels both uplifting and personal.

Her goal is simple: to create beautiful, healthy hair — and to make every person who visits her chair feel cared for, confident, and completely themselves.

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.
