Jen Hair

If you’ve been thinking about going out on your own but aren’t quite ready to take the full leap, this might be exactly what you’re looking for.

About a year and a half ago, I was in the same position. I knew I needed a change, but I was nervous. I didn’t want to keep working for someone else, but I also wasn’t ready to commit to opening my own space.

So I started by subletting just one day a week.

It was an easy, affordable way to test the waters, and the commitment felt completely manageable.

Fast forward to today, and I now have my own studio full-time. I’m excited to be opening my doors to another stylist who’d like to rent the space on Sundays.

The studio is located in the growing Leaside neighbourhood, surrounded by great shopping, cafés, parking and plenty of amenities.

If you’re curious or have any questions, I’d love to chat. Feel free to send me a message, and if someone comes to mind, I’d really appreciate you sharing this with them!

Let’s talk natural fallout…. as a hairstylist I get asked a lot about fallout. Here’s the deal; our hair (over our entire body) is on a “fall-out” cycle. Old hair falls out, new hair grows in and so on and so on. This is why sometimes our eyebrows or eyelashes can seem a little more full or a little shorter at times, all depending on the cycle. The same goes for the hair on our heads! On average, we lose 70-150 hairs per day!! So don’t worry when you see hair coming out when you brush, or when you collect a little hairball after shampooing, this is normal. Of course, if you have curly hair and/or don’t shampoo/brush very often then the hair that would normally fall away or get collected when brushing will accumulate in your locks and will look like a lot more on wash day. There are some circumstances where the cycle can get disturbed. This may include (but is not limited to) puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, male pattern baldness, alopecia, female pattern baldness, menopause, extreme diet changes or weight loss, medication, chemotherapy and some other illnesses. With a well balanced lifestyle full of healthy choices we can usually find a balance to keep our heads full of healthy hair! Equally important is choosing good quality products for hair care. Low quality products (drugstore brands) are full of waxes, parabens, sulphates, fragrances, dyes and numerous other ‘filler’ products. Low quality products can damage your hair, build up on both hair and scalp often clogging pores disrupting the new hair growth cycle. Stylist recommended products will preserve your colour, aid in your styling aspirations and nurture your hair and scalp. Talk to your stylist next time you’re in the chair and have them put together a haircare, scalp care routine for you!
