Sarah MacDougall-Diversion Salon

I’ve hired people who couldn’t make it through their first 90 days without multiple sick days.

And every single time, my team was the one who absorbed it.

They covered.
They smiled.
They showed up even when they didn’t have to.
They made it work so the guest experience didn’t suffer.

That’s what hurts most… because it’s never just “a shift missed.” It’s my team carrying someone else’s choice while still showing up like nothing changed.

That’s the kind of people I have at Diversion.

So if you’re the kind of stylist who shows up for every shift, works hard while you’re here, actually cares about your guests, and then goes home and lives your life…

Diversion was built for you.

Cool girls have cool jobs. And the coolest ones come work at Diversion.

I built this place because I spent years working in salons that didn’t deserve the energy I gave them. I wanted somewhere that actually made sense. Where showing up hard meant something. Where you could love what you do and still have a life outside of it.

That’s Diversion. A small tight salon in Chestermere built for stylists who are serious about their craft and done settling for less than they’re worth.

If that’s you, you already know where to find us. 🖤

Funny that.. My product orders, my landlord, my insurance, my education, my tools, my time. None of them accept good vibes as payment either.

We charge what we charge because this is a skill that took years to build.
The people behind the chairs at Diversion didn’t just wake up one day and decide “I think I’ll charge Tammy this today”. They have invested in their craft, their education and their technique so that every single person who sits in their chair gets someone who actually knows what they are doing.

I will always protect that.
My team works too hard and cares too much for their value to ever be questioned.

You don’t walk into a restaurant and tell the chef they’re charging too much. Same energy. 🖤

The things that actually fill my cup after a long day behind the chair.

You don’t always realise the impact of a tag, a share, a referral or just saying I’ll be back in two weeks. But to us it means everything. It means you trust us enough to put your name behind us. It means you value what we do. It means you’re coming back and we get to do this again.

Small salon life is built entirely on moments like these. We don’t have a massive marketing budget. We have you. And honestly that’s always been enough. 🖤
