Swish Salon

Our amazing assistant Grace is in Asunción, Paraguay, representing Canada in skateboarding at the World Skate Games — and competition officially kicked off yesterday! 🇨🇦🇵🇾🛹

We’re so excited to be following along and watching Grace take on the world stage! 🙌✨

And in the middle of all this excitement, Grace also celebrated her 22nd birthday on September 26th! 🎂🥳

Happy 22nd, Grace — and good luck at the Games! We’re rooting for you from Swish! 💚🛹

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry their stories.

Truth must come before reconciliation. We take time to listen, learn, reflect, and recognize the lasting impact of residential schools and the history we all share.

We wear orange to remember and to reaffirm that every child matters — today and every day.

🧡 September 30 | National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

We are on a roll!! We would love for you to know a little bit more about our dear, Malina!

We asked her a few questions and this is what we learned! 🌸💛

✨ Favourite salon product: Motion Lotion. I love it for its versatility. 💇‍♀️✨

☕️ Coffee order or go-to drink: Girl Scout from Covet Sip and Sweet. 🍪☕️

🤫 One thing clients would be surprised to know about me: That I’m an introvert. 🫣

🎶 My current obsession:
Song: “Were It for the Wind” by Ella Langley 🎶
Snack: Truffle from Trader Joe’s 🍫
Show: Anything psychedelic 👀
Trend: White and neutral colors 🤍

🌿 If I weren’t a stylist: I would be a full time health and wellness teacher. 🧘‍♀️🥗

🏔️ Favourite way to treat yourself on a day off: You’ll find me mountain biking, hiking, camping. And I love to read. 🚵‍♀️🥾🏕️📚

✨ KELLY’S FAVOURITE SALON PRODUCT ✨

Meet the product behind that perfectly lived-in, Day 2 (or later!) texture. 👀

Davines This is a Dry Wax Finishing Spray 💇‍♀️✨

“Short little spurts of this sweet goodness to give freshly washed hair enough grit to dirty it up as though it’s Day 2 (or later!) hair. Plus it smells delicious, in my opinion.” 🤎

Basically…freshly washed hair, but make it effortlessly undone. 😉

Ask Kelly (or anyone in the salon!) about it next time you’re in the salon! ✨

I’m a lot of you know this friendly face! And for those of you who haven’t, please meet Kelly! 👋

…. and who doesn’t love some fun facts!?

☕ Coffee Order: My go-to is an Americano, no room. But I drink coffee every way I can get it…Hot, cold, black, dessert like. 🤎☕️

🦖 Blowouts vs Lived in Texture: Lived in texture because my arms can sometimes feel like I’m a little T-Rex. 🦖

🌅 Early Mornings or Late Nights? I was once “Late nights that turn into early mornings” but I’m all for early mornings now because guilt consumes me if I don’t tackle the day. 😅

👀 One thing my clients would be surprised to know about me:
My hair is actually REALLY fine and frizzy so I have been every colour but platinum blonde. It simply can’t handle that :(

📺 Current Obsession: ‘Tell Me Lies’ on Hulu/Disney+. 👀🍿

🕵️‍♀️ If you weren’t a hairstylist…: I’d be a private investigator, maybe? Getting paid to spy and eat snacks while I sit in a car could be fun! 🍿🚗🕵️‍♀️

💆‍♀️ Favourite way to treat yourself on a day off?: Phone off, sleep in, MAYBE head to the gym, get a massage and sushi for dinner. 📵😴💆‍♀️🍣

Turns out David’s love affair with hairspray started early… 😂👑

Before he was our very own Queen of Hairspray, he was a little guy idolizing the one and only Dolly Parton. 💕✨

Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for the big hair, big heart, and even bigger personality. 🤍

Nothing beats seeing a smile this big after a fresh new look! 💕
