When your curly stylist has curls herself, you know you’re in good hands.

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. All that said, her draw to salons didn’t cross her mind again until much later and not until after a decade of living the city life in Vancouver and wearing many “hats” (urban planning student, fire dance performer and fitness instructor to name a few.) 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.
