Salon Talent

Mina With 27 years of experience Mina’s life has been in hair styling.”I used to help at my uncle’s upscale salon as a little girl, I never wanted to be anything but a stylist.” Although a salon owner for the last eleven years Mina hasn’t allowed that to prevent her from advancing her cutting skills. With training from Vidal Sassoon and Suki’s, Mina has also over the last four years been extensively trained via TIGI/Toni&Guy academies, most recently with a stint at TIGI’s Los Angeles Santa Monica Academy for advanced cutting/teaching techniques. Although now cutting back on her styling duties somewhat to focus on the salon, Mina still loves to cut hair. “I’m always thinking hair, it is so satisfying to find that perfect cut for someone, and see them walk out of my salon glowing.”

Alicia Alicia has a huge wealth of hair styling experience and has been a favourite stylist in the Tricities for over 25 years. These years of experience have given her the confidence and skill to deal with almost any styling challenge that comes her way. Alicia keeps current with ongoing updates, but particularly enjoys doing classic cut and colour work. ” Making new friends is what I love most about hair dressing, I’ve had clients who brought their children to me, those kids grew up stayed as clients and now I’m cutting their children’s hair too – that is a wonderful feeling.”

Patti Patti brings 25 years of hair styling experience to our team. After five years of intensive training in Eastern Canada Patti settled in Coquitlam and has been winning client loyalty with her superb styling talents ever since. From colour & styling to updos Patti is skilled in all aspects for hair styling, and comfortable with every hair type. “I quite often find myself taking care of an entire family, which is a wonderful way to get to know people”. When asked why she still loves cutting hair Patti says “Clients often tell me that I’m a good listener, and I think that is so important. I’ve always been committed to keeping my styling skills updated, but it’s seeing my clients happy and looking great that keeps my passion for hair styling alive
