Ivan (he/him)
-Level 4-
I'm 48 but I often still get 46ish. I started hair styling fall 1991 (31 years). My focus when I do hair is how the haircut will grow out, as well as fitting the lifestyle and hair type of my patron. My colour technics are simple and realistic to natural shades and grow out patterns. My fun fact, is that I’ve been living as a live-aboard on my boat for 2.5 years with my lady and a sausage dog called @MimiJackson5.

I started my career in hair 10 years ago in Vancouver. I love experimenting with new styles and techniques, and I’m not afraid to push boundaries and try something unconventional. I enjoy working with clients who want a bold and unique look that stands out from the crowd. I also understand and appreciate the beauty of classic hairstyles that have stood the test of time. I have a keen eye for detail and precision, and take pride in creating perfectly polished looks that never go out of style. My favourite thing to do is have some kind of active adventure, a day sunny at the beach, or a sexy night out dancing.

Sofi (she/her)
-Level 2-
When I was 5 years old, my mother brought me to the hairsalon for the first time because we were going to a wedding, and there they made me very beautiful lush long curls. On this day, I decided that I would be a hairdresser. So far, my greatest pleasure is working with long hair, creating natural but luxurious styles. I love natural colors and simple haircuts that won't require a lot of maintenance at home. My clients know that special hairstyles can be more frequent than just a few times a year. In my spare time I often do special styles for photoshoots, and fashion, and my dream is to do hairstyles for movies :)
