What we do

Services

Colour corrections

Removing black and dark box dye, fixing colour that went sideways, and getting you back to where you want to be.

Going silver

Transitions to salt-and-pepper, silver or white, planned so the in-between looks intentional.

Highlights & lived-in colour

Foils, balayage-style blends and blonde transformations that grow out softly.

Vivid fashion colour

Rainbow and brightly coloured looks for when you want to turn heads.

Cuts & blow-dries

Women's cuts and a great blow-dry finish, plus perms by someone who has done them for decades.

Wendy's Hairitage

Fifty years of hair, and a family that grew up in the salon.

Wendy started in hair in 1974 and graduated hair school at 18. Her first salon was a single rented chair inside a Black Diamond barbershop.

When her kids came along she moved the business to Okotoks, off the winter highway. Misty came to work at four months old, held by clients while Wendy did their hair. By five she was standing on a milk crate washing hair, paid in candy.

Today, Wendy is doing the hair of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of some of her very first clients.

The people who helped make us who we are.

Some came through our doors for hair. Some through business. Some worked beside us, and some grew up with us. This series tells their stories, starting with Adele, who has been welcoming newcomers to Okotoks for more than 30 years.

“It's family.”
