THE GIRLS

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.

Kate
Hey! I’ve always believed that hair is more than just how we look—it's how we feel. I’ve been doing hair for several years now, and I truly love every moment of it. Whether it’s creating lived-in color, giving the perfect haircut, or just having a good chat while you relax in my chair, I’m here to help you feel confident and beautiful.
Right now, I’m soaking up all the excitement of expecting my first baby (hello, growing belly and all the emotions!), but that hasn’t slowed down my love for doing hair one bit. In fact, it’s made me appreciate the connection I have with my clients even more.
Outside the salon, I’m a full-time pet mom to a couple of very spoiled fur babies who keep me on my toes and fill my heart with joy. Animals and hair are my happy place—so if you’re into either (or both!), we’re probably going to get along just fine.
Thanks for being part of my journey—I can’t wait to see you in my chair soon!

Abby
Hi Everyone, I’m a new stylist with a big vision. My goal is to make your hair dreams come true while maintaining its strength- because great hair should never cost its integrity. I am fueled by passion, growth and great hair days. From curls that bounce to waves that flow and everything in between, I love bringing out the beauty in every strand. My chair is a fun, judgment-free space where you can feel confident and totally at home in your hair. Chill vibes, great convo, and fabulous hair? Yes, please!
When I’m not in the salon I enjoy exploring in Algonquin Park, reading a good book, and experimenting in the kitchen. Because life’s about balance- and great hair!

Maiah
Hi, I’m Maiah!
I’m a new talent at Mystic Roots and a proud graduate of Fleming College, where I trained using Aveda colour and products.

I take pride in being caring and thorough, ensuring each step of your appointment is done with intention and attention to detail.
Blonding services are my absolute favorite—I love the creativity and precision they require! While I’m still early in my journey as a stylist, I bring fresh energy, a strong skill set, and a genuine excitement to meet new clients and grow with them.
Outside the salon, you’ll find me embracing nature—camping in my Skoolie or spending time with my chickens, cats, and dogs. I can’t wait to welcome you into my chair and help you feel your absolute best!

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.
