Owner/Hairstylist
Sarah
Sarah is an owner here at Violet Salon and has worked in salons both Calgary and Winnipeg for the past 10 years before starting this venture. Sarah loves all her time behind the chair but has the most fun with different colour challenges, specifically balayage and colour melting. One of her fav products to use behind the chair is the surface blow-out smoothing cream. It locks in moisture keeping your hair smoother and healthier for longer! When Sarah isn't behind the chair she is spending time with her family and daughter Elliette. She tries to spend as much of her free time outside (mostly in the summer) and loves being in her backyard. Want to reach some hair goals together?
