THE GIRLS

Mystic Roots 2025-52.jpg

Vicki

Hi there! I’m Vicki – Salon Owner, Stylist at Heart, and Proudly Faux-Retired.

After decades behind the chair (and more foils than I can count), I’ve technically “retired”… but let’s be honest, I never really left. This salon is my second home, and watching it grow into the vibrant, welcoming space it is today has been one of my greatest joys.

Tara

Hi, I’m Tara a high-energy Master Elite Stylist with over 25 years of experience behind the chair. I bring a ton of passion (and usually a few laughs) to every appointment, and I love creating styles that help people feel confident and radiant. I'm also a big believer in natural medicine and holistic living, and I often bring that mindset into my work—blending beauty and wellness whenever I can.

I specialize in curly hair and customized color, but foiling is hands-down my favorite—it’s where I get to be the most creative and detailed. I’ve created a welcoming, relaxed space where my clients can feel comfortable, cared for, and inspired.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll probably find me soaking in a hot tub with a glass of wine in one hand and a spicy book in the other—because self-care should always come with a little fun!

Whether you're here for a bold transformation or a subtle refresh, I’m here to help you feel your absolute best—inside and out.

Alayna 

Hey, I'm Alayna!
 With over 15 years of experience behind the chair and a foundation from the Aveda Institute, I specialize in precision cutting and expert foiling, creating styles that are both beautiful and effortlessly wearable. I’m passionate about helping clients feel confident, refreshed, and truly themselves—whether it’s through a bold new cut or subtle, natural-looking highlights.

Outside the salon, I cherish time spent in nature, especially at the barn with my daughter where we share a love for horses and riding. These moments ground me and reflect the values I bring to my work: patience, connection, and a strong work ethic. I believe in the power of hard work and genuine care, both in life and in every service I provide.

Kasia

Hi, I'm Kasia coffee in one hand scissors in the other. I’m a hairstylist who’s all about effortless style, healthy hair, and helping you feel like the best version of yourself. With 16 years behind the chair, I specialize in  color, highlights and cuts, and I focus on looks that grow out beautifully and fit your everyday life.  My chair is a judgment-free zone where you can relax, chat, or just enjoy a quiet moment while I work.  

Outside the salon, I’m into a mix of unexpected hobbies—like beekeeping and woodworking—so I definitely appreciate the balance between creativity and precision. Whether you're coming in for a subtle change or a total reset, I’ll make sure you leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever's next.

Emm

Hey, I'm Em, the hair fairy! By day, I am a hairstylist with a passion for creating one-of-a-kind looks that make you feel like a rockstar. I'm all about textured cuts that add some serious sass to your style, and funky colours that'll make you stand out in a crowd. By night, I'm a musician, jamming out to my fave tunes and finding inspiration for my next big hair creation. And let's not forget about my furry companion - my sweet kitty is always keeping me on my toes!

 

I'm all about self-expression and having a blast with hair. I believe that a great hairstyle can boost your confidence, change your life, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a bold transformation, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's get creative, have some fun, and make some unforgettable hair magic together!

Finley

Hi! I’m Finley, Fin to most.

If you’ve ever liked, commented, or laughed at one of our Instagram posts, that was probably me! I run the salon’s social media and love bringing our stylists’ amazing work to life online. Capturing the behind-the-scenes magic, transformations, and good vibes in our space is one of my favourite parts of the job.

But the really exciting part? I’m about to start beauty school soon! After years of being obsessed with all things hair, I’ve finally decided to take the leap and follow my passion behind the chair. I’m soaking up everything I can, learning from our incredible team, and getting ready to start my own journey as a stylist.

For now, you’ll find me snapping content, hyping up our stylists.
