Specialties
Our Most Requested Services
When you love something you work hard to do it well and we are absolutely passionate about our Specialities!
Although you can learn a bit about our Specialties here, rest assured that in consultation your Stylist will create a road map in what they’ll need to do to get you to your inspiration! You don’t need to know what technique will get you there – that’s our job!!
Regardless, below you’ll find a preview of our most requested services so you know where our experiences lies!
Why choose us?
There are many options when it comes to Salon Services it can be overwhelming when trying to decide where you should go. So what is it exactly that sets us apart?
The health of your natural hair is always our priority which means….
-
- Your natural hair will be looked after meticulously. We take our responsibility for keeping your hair healthy very seriously! That means our product choices, techniques and recommendations, all hinge on what will get you to your goal AND keep your hair at it’s healthiest.
- We will tell you ‘No’ if we feel your requested services could have an overly negative impact on the health of your hair. That may not sound very nice but there may be cases where your desired look cannot be safely provided. If that’s the case we will absolutely communicate that to you. Full transparency is essential.
There is no doubt that lightening and/or colouring can effect the health of your hair but rest assured that we will be taking extreme care and educating you at every step of the process.
We’d love to answer any questions! Consultations are always complimentary!
Blonding
Blonding is one of the most requested services we offer and one of the most difficult to execute. We know you look at a picture and see the colour of blonde you want, while we look at the same picture and envision the process it will take to get your hair there safely!
There are so many shades of blonde so regardless of whether the application is balayage, foiling or global (full head), consultation is key.
Once we have taken your hair history to learn where we are starting from, it is imperative to assess your skin tone!
Ever had a blonding service done and just felt ‘washed out’ right afterwards? Despite the reemergence of warm blondes in recent trends (think bright, California beachy blondes!), cool ash blondes are always highly requested. The issue is cool, ashy tones aren’t for everyone!
After a good consultation we’ll be able to take the tone you are looking for and tweak it ever so slightly to create a stunning custom blonde created to look absolutely stunning with your unique skin tone.
Balayage
Balayage has evolved greatly over the last 5 years. It was originally done by painting lightener on the top surface of the hair and leaving it to process, but there have been many improvements!
Balayage can now be mimicked using all kinds of different techniques some using foil, others meche sheets, by a backcombing technique…..the options are endless!
Regardless of the method, getting a balayage service means a natural and blended growout giving you ample time between your appointments!
Our Stylists were orginally trained by Maurice Fiorio (commonly seen on Cityline) at the Fiorio Beauty Acadamy in Toronto and to further our technique, we arranged a private class with Frances Canola of Modern Beige salon in California.
We have been providing Balayage since 2011 and will continue to learn and perfect the new methods available to achieve the look you want!
Colouring
Natural or Vibrant Fashion tones, you can really wear them all!
After in depth testing using both popular and newly emerging colour lines, we are proud to use Keune Hair Cosmetics!
With Keune you can expect to see the benefits listed below.
Key Ingredients and Technologies:
- Solamer – gives full spectrum UV coverage to protect from fading and is the only line to offer both UVA and UVB protection.
- Silk Proteins to condition, nourish and add shine
- Cocomide, sourced from Coconut Oil gives iridescence to your colour and adds incredible shine
- LP 300 – a hair colour stabilizer which dramatically increases the longevity of your colour! Keune adapted this technology from the textile industry because really, why should our hair colour fade when fabic holds colour for much longer?!
- 5 Sided Red Colour Molecule – which means in addition to LP300, Keune Reds last 25% longer than other reds!
We are also proud to use Pulp Riot for our vivid haircolour. For us this means an amazing colour palette and most importantly for you, the longest lasting fashion colour we’ve ever had our hands on!

Hair Botox
The NEW generation of Hair Smoothing Treatments are here!
Hair Botox is a completely customizable smoothing treatment that restores damage in the cortex, fills broken and damaged hair fibers all while moisturizing, adding incredible shine and best of all ELIMINATING frizz!
There are 2 different service options:
- Full Hair Botox Treatment:
- After a consultation with your Stylist they will create a custom Hair Botox Treatment using one, or a combination of, the following products:
- Original Hair Botox – Based on the Collagen Amino Acid Chain this treatment uses Caviar Oil, Amino Acids, Natural Proteins and Argan Oil. This product can smooth natural curl up to 60%, remove frizz, moisturize, nourish, repair while making hair more manageable, healthier and reduces your drying/styling time.
- Biotin Therapy Hair Botox – the strongest formula based on Keratin Cyctine Amino Acids, liquid vitamin B7, plant keratin, natural proteins and collagen. This product provides the benefits of the Original formula but can smooth natural curl up to 90%.
- Platinum Hair Botox – designed for blonde, platinum or grey hair. This formula controls warm undertones and is enriched with 16 natural hair oils and amino acids for the ultimate hydration while restoring damaged and weak hair fibers.
- With proper at home care Full Hair Botox treatments last anywhere from 3-6 months
- After a consultation with your Stylist they will create a custom Hair Botox Treatment using one, or a combination of, the following products:
- Express Hair Botox:
- This treatment provides a taste of what the full treatment provides in about an hour! It penetrates, nourishes and smooths the hair shaft, prevents moisture while sealing and strengthening the hair. You’ll notice far better managability and detangling after treatment, as well as increased shine and softeness. This treatment is also wonderful for removing static in those dry winter months. Express combines Coco Nucifera Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower and Myristyl Fatty Alcohol Carbon Chain to provide these amazing benefits!
- With proper at home care Express Hair Botox lasts for up to 6 weeks and can be repeated as often as desired
Other benefits to note:
- Hair Botox contains no Formaledhyde or other Harsh Chemicals
- This treatment acts only as a repairative Smoothing System and does NOT break the bonds in the hair like traditional Straightening Systems.
- Safe to use on natural, lightened, coloured, permed and chemically straightened hair
We are so excited to now have a smoothing treatment that can not only be used on coloured/lightened hair but one that actually improves the condition of the hair! This has been sorely lacking until now and you can bet it is here to stay!
