Salon Serene, A New Kind of Hair Salon

Hello, I have been hairstyling for 40 years and have worked in some of the finest salons in Calgary including The Ginger Group and Angles. From my first day as an apprentice I trained in the Vidal Sassoon methods and in the late ‘80’s worked with a stylist who had been manager of Vidal Sassoon Toronto for 9 years. We opened a salon in Calgary and worked together for six years until I opened my own salon: Flow. What are your values as a stylist? “I care about the people I am serving and what I’m doing. Hairstyling to me is an art, and to truly be an artist one must care more about quality than quantity, so I don’t rush or attempt to do five things at once. I deeply value listening and clear communication. I also love and value beauty in all of its genuine, natural forms and endeavor to bring that beauty out in my work, be it in hairstyling, poetry or art”. How would you describe your overall approach to hairstyling? “If I am to use one word it would be “natural”. I don’t fight the hair. I don’t beat it into submission. I become familiar with it, respect it and cooperate with it. I also do what I can to make the salon as healthy an atmosphere, both physically and emotionally, as possible. Having practiced meditation for many years it is important to me to work in a calm, healthy, friendly environment”. Please visit salonserene.ca to find out everything about me and my services.
