Dear clients please read our new our re-opening plans, protocols and rules that we have created under the guidance of WCB, Public Health Officials and the Beauty Council. We wish that this wasn’t so, but we must do everything we can to ensure staff, client and community safety. We know this will take some time to get used to and we are here to make sure this transition is as smooth as possible. We as a team have carefully thought out our re-opening plan. Effective upon re-opening here are our new plans/protocols/rules.
Scheduling your appointment
-Appointments will be required in advance.
-You MUST call us for an appointment (250 735 4418), we need to talk you before booking you in. If you message us for an appointment on Facebook, you will be asked to call us.
-If we do not answer the phone please leave us a message and will get back to you as soon as we can. (we are working with less staff coverage)
-No walk ins at this time please.

We have a very limited supply at this time if this changes we will let you know.
