hi, it's me ✦
The Girl Behind the Chair

Seven years of colour, cuts, treatments, and brides.

I trained formally and spent years in a busy full-service salon before building my own practice here in the Lower Mainland. That's where I learned the discipline behind the craft: every bride's family watching over my shoulder, every strand counted, no detail too small.

I'm happiest in the finish. A bridal look can be complicated on paper and still feel off if the braid isn't balanced, the curls aren't sealed, the flowers aren't placed with intention. The difference between a good bridal style and one a bride keeps talking about is almost always the last ten minutes.

I specialize in South Asian bridal: waterfall and fishtail braids, rose-bun architecture, floral placement with gypsophila and fresh blooms, and the dimensional curl work that carries a look from the pheras to the reception. Western bridal, balayage, precision cutting, and smoothing treatments are home too. Every girl deserves to leave the chair feeling more like herself.

She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and absolutely nailed my hair colour. It turned out even better than I imagined. Incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and her prices are so affordable for the quality. I'll definitely be back!

Good to Know

Before your first visit.

The questions I get asked most, answered honestly. If yours isn't here, just message me.

Ask on WhatsApp →
Colour is quoted per head, because length, density, and where you're starting from all change the work. I'll confirm a clear price before we book, no surprises at the chair. Send me a photo of your hair on WhatsApp for an exact quote.
Every colour appointment is a full three-hour block so nothing is rushed. Bigger transformations, like going dark to blonde, can run longer, and I'll always tell you the realistic timing before the day.
Healthy hair is the whole point. I work in stages, use bond-protecting products, and will never push your hair past what it can safely take in one session. Sometimes the honest answer is two appointments instead of one, and I'll tell you if that's the case.
That's completely normal, and it's exactly why every appointment starts with a proper consultation. We'll talk through what you want, what's realistic, and the plan before any colour touches your hair.
You'll go home knowing exactly what to use and what to avoid. A few simple habits, sulphate-free wash, heat protectant, the right toning, keep your colour looking salon-fresh for weeks longer.
I take colour and treatment appointments in Surrey and Vancouver, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Exact location and parking details are shared when you book.
Studio Policies

Fair to you, fair to the chair.

Clear terms, no surprises. Booking an appointment means you're happy with these, and you can always ask me first.

Your time

Held just for you

Booking reserves a full chair block in your name. A card on file secures it, and nothing is charged when you book. You only ever pay for the service you sit for.

Cancelling

48 hours, and it's free

Life happens, just tell me early. Reschedule or cancel free up to 48 hours before your chair time. Later than that, or a no-show, a fee applies to the card on file, because a three-hour chair can't be refilled last minute.

Running late

A quick message saves it

Text me on WhatsApp if you're running behind. There's a short grace window, but past it the service may need shortening or moving so the next guest isn't pushed back.

Getting it right

Love it before you leave

We check your look together at the chair. If anything feels off, tell me before you leave and I'll perfect it the same day. Colour keeps settling over the first week, so give it a few washes before judging the tone.

Offers

Promo pricing, honest results

Promotional bookings get the same products and care as everything else. Results still depend on your hair's history and condition, so an offer isn't a promise of one exact result. The consultation always comes first.

Before we start

We begin with a plan

New colour starts with a proper consultation, and a short consultation and consent form at your first visit. It keeps the plan, the price, and your hair's safety clear before anything begins.

Questions before you book? Ask me on WhatsApp ↗
