Juli

Her dream was to become a stylist, move to the West Coast to work at a popular hair salon on Betty Street in downtown Vancouver which was owned by a family friend. After graduating cosmetology school from M.E. Lazerte and earning her license she did just that and lived in Vancouver for seven years!
After which, Juli trained to become a Home Staging and Redesign Consultant in Toronto, where she stayed for three years. Returning to Edmonton at age 30, she started her family and resumed her hairstyling career. She's also recently tried her hand at bridal styling and home redesign.

Cynthia
Stylist Intern
Cynthia is our newest intern and is working with Angie. She graduated from EC Academy, but COVID held her back from working in a salon until now. Although she doesn't have the most experiences, she more than makes up for it with drive, motivation and enthusiasm!
Cynthia is a HUGE animal lover and adventurer. She also enjoys seeing a cute dress and then making it for her daughter.
Jessica

Jessica grew up right here in Edmonton, in the Ritchie/Hazeldean area and has been in Ellerslie for almost 5 years.
Chanelle
Level One Esthetician
Makeup and beauty has always been a big passion for Chanelle. She is a self-taught makeup artist and graduated from MC College (same as Jessica!) in August of 2020. She gained a major interest in skin care, waxing and brows while in school. She loves what she does!
She enjoys reading and spending time with her two daughters. Chanelle likes to motivate young girls from back home by showing them that they can achieve whatever they want with hard work and determination.
Andrea
Salon Manager
After graduating high school in Northern BC, Andrea went on an 8 year adventure in Ontario before work brought her to Edmonton in 2012. She has been in customer service and sales for 18 years, 11 of that in management.
When she's not at the salon, you can find her on the bike trails, volunteering at SAFE team, or practicing nail art. Andrea once biked from Toronto to Niagara Falls, and she won't shy away from a night of karaoke.
Jenny
Front Desk Professional
Always a creative, Jenny is into photography, has taught art to children and even used to make mascots! She entered the beauty industry back in 1999, and after taking her career in a few different directions, she's found her way back. After a few years in web design, she became an Educational Assistant within the Black Gold School District.
She enjoys adventuring with her three children, summering in BC, local festivals, live music, essential oils, craft beer and local breweries. She also enjoys spending time with her close friends.
Angie
Director of Everything and Sometimes Level Seven Stylist
With more than 24 years in, Angie has been around the block of hairdressing. Starting in 1997, she began in a mall salon (also as a cutting educator) for seven years, then took her business to her home for a few more. The opportunity for the current space came out of nowhere and here we are more than fourteen years later.
Angie is behind the chair on a part-time basis as there is plenty to keep her busy otherwise. With a grade school aged son, a home to care for, a business to grow and team members to coach, there isn't a lot time left to do hair!
She enjoys gardening and houseplants, spending time with her son and family, making plans for the salon (can you say workaholic?!), crafting, decor, house music and listening to audio books.
