After graduating cosmetology school from M.E. Lazerte and earning her license she did just that and lived in Vancouver for seven years!

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.
