Abby Hodgson

Hi, Im Abby! With 8 years behind the chair, I have developed a passion for creating customized looks that help my guests feel confident and express their individuality. I specialize in colour services, from natural, lived-in tones to bold, creative vivids. I also love crafting short, textured haircuts, including barber-inspired and men’s cuts. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic transformation or a subtle refresh, my goal is to create a look that suits your lifestyle and have you leaving the salon feeling confident, refreshed, and completely yourself.


When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me spending time with my girlfriend and our cats, caring for my ever-growing collection of plants, getting lost in a good book, planning my next travel adventure, or searching for the best local restaurants & cuisines. I’m a foodie who loves exploring new places, whether it’s across the world or just around the corner.

Hi, Im Fanny! I have been passionate about the art of hairstyling for more than 20 years, I have dedicated my career to perfecting my craft and helping clients feel confident and beautiful. Originally from France, I have built my expertise through continuous education, hands-on experience, and a constant desire to stay inspired by the latest trends and techniques in the industry.

Having moved to Canada two years ago, I chose to continue my professional journey in a dynamic and inspiring environment, while expanding my perspective through the diversity and multicultural energy that Canada offers.

I particularly enjoy working with color, balayage, and customized hair transformations. What excites me most, however, is the ability to create truly life-changing results through hair extensions. Whether adding length, volume, or creating a complete transformation, I love seeing the confidence and joy that a new hairstyle can bring to my clients.

Known for my attention to detail and personalized approach, I take the time to understand each client’s goals and lifestyle in order to create a look that feels natural, flattering, and easy to maintain. For me, every appointment is a collaboration where technical expertise, creativity, and genuine care come together to achieve beautiful results.

Driven by a passion for learning and growth, I continue to refine my skills and stay current with the latest innovations in the hair industry.

My mission is simple: to help you feel beautiful, confident, and truly yourself through hair that reflects your individuality.

Hi, I’m Chrissy!

I’ve been doing hair for over 17 years, and I still genuinely love what I do.

it’s about so much more than hair, for me. I love getting to know my clients, building real connections, and being someone they can feel comfortable around.

There’s nothing better than having someone sit in my chair, feel at home, and enjoy a little time for themselves.

I’d describe myself as outgoing, warm-hearted, and easygoing. I love a good conversation, laughs, and creating a space where people can just be themselves.

I think the little things matter, and I want my clients to feel comfortable and cared for every time they come in.

I specialize in Lived in Blondes, Hair extensions, and creating Cuts/styles that make people feel good about themselves. I love being able to bring someone’s vision to life, whether it’s a subtle change or something completely new. Seeing someone happy with their hair and watching their confidence shine through is such a rewarding feeling, and it’s a big part of why I love this industry so much.

I feel really lucky to do something I love and to have met so many amazing people along the way. After all these years, it’s still the relationships I build and the little moments in my chair that make it all so special.

Daylen Riley-Laurin

Level 5

Hi, I’m Daylen, and I’ve been behind the chair as a Master Stylist for 12 years, with 15 years in the hair industry.

I knew from the moment I became a high school co-op student in a salon that hairstyling was exactly where I was meant to be. What started as a passion has grown into a career I truly love, and after all these years, I still feel so lucky to do what I do every day.

For me, hair is about so much more than creating a beautiful look. It’s about connection, confidence, and making people feel like the very best version of themselves. I absolutely love my clients, and my chair has a way of turning clients into instant besties. I want every person who sits in my chair to feel welcomed, heard, and completely comfortable being themselves.

As an award-winning Top Stylist in Ottawa, I specialize in blondes, lived-in colour, fashion-forward haircuts, and low-maintenance styles that are beautiful both in the salon and in everyday life. I also have a special love for curly hair, corrective colour, and express services. I’m always excited by a good hair challenge and love creating customized looks that work with your hair, your lifestyle, and your personal style.

I’m also a proud mom to my vivacious 7-year-old daughter, who keeps life fun, busy, and full of personality. Having grown up in Westboro, it means so much to me to continue doing what I love in a community that has always felt like home.

Whether you’re looking for a fresh blonde, a lived-in colour that grows out beautifully, a bold new cut, a curl transformation, or simply a little refresh, I’m here to make your salon experience feel effortless, fun, and uniquely you.

I can’t wait to meet you, make some hair magic, and hopefully become your new bestie along the way!

Jessie Soares

Level 6

Hi, I’m Jessie, and I’ve been behind the chair for almost two decades helping women feel beautiful, confident, and truly like themselves again.

Hair has always been more than just hair to me. I know how much it can affect the way we feel, and I believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. My goal is to create a space where you can relax, be yourself, and know that you’re in good hands.

I specialize in custom colour, blonding, hair extensions, and hair toppers, and I’m especially passionate about helping women who are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss. I understand that these conversations can feel emotional and vulnerable, which is why I strive to create a judgment-free experience where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable every step of the way.



Over the past 19 years, I’ve continued to invest in advanced education and training so I can offer my clients the latest techniques and the best solutions for their individual needs. I truly love what I do, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone light up when they look in the mirror and feel like themselves again.

Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh, a complete transformation, more length and volume, or a solution for thinning hair, I’m here to guide you and create a look that fits your lifestyle and makes you feel your absolute best.

I can’t wait to welcome you into my chair and be part of your hair journey.
