I've been into hair and fashion since my teenage years. I used to cut my hair and my friends' hair all the time. I kept thinking about going to hair school but ended up doing a two-year stint in Fashion Design at Vancouver Community College instead. All the while, I was grinding away in the restaurant biz for over 30 years.
Fast-forward to February 2022, I decided to take the plunge and attend barber school. After six months of diving deep into hairdressing, I landed a gig at Beaufort Barbers in Port Alberni, rubbing shoulders with some of my former instructors.
But the dream didn't stop there. I spent some time cutting hair from home until November 2023 rolled around, and I snagged my very own shop. Cue the renovations, the late nights, and the anticipation. And let me tell you, opening day in February 2024 was nothing short of magical.
Now, why Tofino, you ask? Well, this is where it all began for me. Born and raised right here on the West Coast, I couldn't imagine opening my first business anywhere else. Plus, being proudly Indigenous and Queer, it means the world to me to bring my unique perspective to the community. Come on in now, grab a seat, and let's make some hair magic happen.
