I have been going to Vanisha for over 10 years for cut and highlights and have nothing but fantastic things to say. My 2 teenagers will not trust anyone else with their hair either (boy and girl) and their friends now go as well. I have recommended Vanisha to all of my friends and once they go they don’t change. Vanisha is very talented in all aspects of her trade and a true professional.

Veneshia has cut, coloured and styled my hair for the past 6 years. She knows exactly what will (and won’t!) look good on me. That’s why I travel 2.5 hours to get to her! Wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Veneshia and Rachel did an amazing job on my hair! I had to get a colour correction done after a previous hairdresser ruined my hair, and they took extra care to fix it. I will definitely get my hair done here from now on. They are so friendly and professional and I felt I could completely trust them after having many bad hair salon experiences. Thank you TSL!

The services provided by TSL is of high quality. I personally wanted to thank the staff for always accommodating me even at the last minute. They are friendly and very professional and provide good recommendations for hair care and treatment. The studio is always well maintained and kept neat at all times and practice proper hygienic practices. Rest assured every appointment is truly worth it because you know your hair is well attended and taken care of. Keep up the good work!!
Georgia MacKinnon
Veneshia and Rachel did a wonderful job removing my tape-in extensions, highlighting my hair, and putting my extensions back in. Veneshia shows a lot of care towards her clients and will make sure your hair is healthy before adding any colour to it which I really appreciate as someone who gets a lot of bleach done. Veneshia and Rachel are super friendly and take the time to get to know their clients and to fully understand what they want done to their hair and will make sure you got what you asked for. They’ll also talk you through everything to make sure there’s no miscommunication. I would highly recommend this salon to everyone and especially people getting colour done.
