Well, here we are. For years, I have opted out for an easy colour and a diy dye job. Black was my go-to, an easy out-of-the-box look, probably rooted from my teenage years.
Being unable to work due to the Covid-19 restrictions and going a little stir crazy Instagramming, Pinteresting, etc, I decided I wanted a hair change. I reached out to Steph and was like, it's now or never to change my hair!
I've known her for years and I explained my concerns about going out in the world (this was July, so some businesses had started to open again), and Stephanie went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable being out in the Covid environment.
Stephanie and co-owner, Melanie, have the cutest little studio tucked away in the centre of Dragon Ally. It is already spaced beautifully so there was no concern over distancing. Masks and hand sanitizer is readily available and Steph booked me in on her day off so it was just me and her and with absolutely no hesitation, she got to work.
I was unsure how long the process would take, going from layers upon layers of black boxed dye on my strands, but Steph assured me that with a bit of time and a few visits, it will look great.
I had heard stories about traumatic salon visits, hair breakage and bad bleach jobs. I also tried doing this many years ago at home as well as hearing other stylists flat out saying, 'it's just not possible', but, I knew Steph was the right stylist for the job.
At Velvet Studios, they use AVEDA products and having worked at the Aveda Institute myself, I was already familiar with how their products work and how gentle they are on your hair, being one of the best natural products out there. Not to mention their heavenly scents (swoon)!
Lol, long story short, sorry I have a million amazing things to say about Steph and my experience, here we are today (just over 2 months later) and I'm in love with my hair! The colour has great dimension, never got fried or frail and looks great. No more drug store box visits, and the best thing, with Steph as my regular stylist all I have to do is pop in for a tone every few months! It's STILL an easy hair routine.
I 100% recommend Stephanie for ALL your hair needs. Thanks girl!
