VANESSA'S BIO

Born and raised in Penticton, Vanessa brings over 15 years of experience to the team.
 

Vanessa's love for hair began when she was first working for David as a receptionist back in the mid 2000s – they go WAY back! Really not feeling the love for reception work, she was more than eager to hear David when he told her she was good at hair and should consider going to hair school. Vanessa jumped at the idea, and attended Marvel College in Kelowna in 2008. After graduating, her career took off and she was soon off to the coast – eventually finding herself at a high-end salon in North Van.
Vanessa is now decorated with multiple certifications; she is a certified Redken Colourist, a certified Goldwell Master Colourist.
 

A happiness-first kind of girl, a huge Swiftie, a roller skating enthusiast, and an animal lover with an especially large soft-spot for dogs (she and her hubby have 2 Boston terriers), Vanessa is a real character. She’s funny and outgoing with a self-admitted obsession with unicorns (and jewelry, and Barbie, and purses... let's just say she likes to shop.) Nobody keeps on top of trends and everything en vogue the way that Vanessa does - she's definitely the salon cool girl.Vanessa's mantra is “if we aren’t having fun, it’s no good!” Vanessa cherishes her ability to make a positive impact in her guests’ lives. “We (stylists/colourists) really help them feel better through tough times, and that is magic!”
We couldn’t agree more, and trust us, magic she will show you!
 

Vanessa specializes in colour of all kinds, babylights, every and all types of foiling, corrective colour and blonding blonding blonding! Do you have high-maintenance blonde? Then Vanessa's your girl. Vanessa also does permanent jewelry - you can scroll down to check out her work.

PARTNERED WITH LUNA & BOO

EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PERMANENT JEWELRY

What Is It?

Infinity jewelry, welded jewelry, flash jewelry... we've seen quite a  few different names for it the last year or so as this ultra-trendy service has been becoming more and more popular.

 

Here's the lowdown; 

Permanent jewelry consists of a dainty chain that's custom fitted to you, and then welded closed. This process creates a seamless bracelet, anklet, necklace, ring or belly chain!

 

Totally customizable (and with many cute charms to choose from), your permanent jewelry can stay on you forever -or as long as you want it. 

SEE VANESSA'S PRICING

Our Partner

We've teamed up with Luna & Boo - a permanent jewelry provider from the Lower Mainland.  They have an amazing selection of 14K gold-filled and 925 sterling silver fine, medium and thick chains and charms to choose from.

IS THIS SAFE?

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

IS THIS SAFE?

Absolutely. Vanessa has been trained by Luna&Boo in the safe usage of the zap welder, as well as the proper application of the jewelry. 

You're in good hands!


Worried about passing through security? Don't!  

The CBSA and the TSA don't ask you to remove fine jewellery when going through security.  

WHAT IF MY JEWELRY BREAKS?

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

We've put our jewelry to the test! We've had moms, dads, siblings, kids and everybody in-between wearing their jewelry and carrying on with their lives. We've determined that Luna&Boo jewelry is pretty hardy... nobody's broken anything yet!

But let's be real - all jewelry has its limits. If your jewelry breaks or stretches, keep the chain and contact us to schedule a repair - there's no charge for fixes within the first year! 

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT IT WELDED ON?

We get it - welded on jewelry isn't always practical for every person or every lifestyle.

Contrary to its name, Luna & Boo permanent jewelry doesn't have to be permanent - just ask for a clasp to be added! It only takes a second and it's no extra charge.
