Born and raised in Penticton, Vanessa’s career as a stylist and colourist led her to Vancouver, where she spent the last decade living. Eager to begin a new chapter in her life, Vanessa and her husband moved home to Penticton to be close to her family in 2021. She is so excited to be back and can’t wait to take part in all that beautiful Penticton has to offer!
Vanessa has been a stylist and colourist for 15 years. Her 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 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, friendly and outgoing with a self-admitted obsession with unicorns. Her 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! Rumor has it that she’s known back at the coast as a ‘blonde master’... so you’d better believe this girl rocks it.
Vanessa also does permanent jewelry - you can scroll down to check out her work.

PARTNERED WITH LUNA & BOO
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.
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.
Luna&Boo takes care of the jewelry bookings for us!
Just click the link below to flash over to their site, and you can book your permanent jewelry appointment 24/7.
Luna&Boo have several locations in BC, so when the booking window pops up, make sure you click "change location", scroll down to find Penticton, and click "pick location" to book with us!
Vanessa has been trained by Luna&Boo and she's so excited to bedazzle everyone this summer.
(You'll notice she has quite a few of her own already!)
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.
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!
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.
