MICHAEL
My enthusiasm for the industry is obvious and contagious. I believe strongly that hard work and dedication has helped me to succeed. I have been in the industry for over 20 years, and I remain committed to continuing education as well as leading talented stylists in advanced hairstyling, colouring and perming techniques. Stylists who work with me are encouraged to pursue their specialties and achieve the highest level of professional development. Teamwork is the hallmark of my success in my salon and in my involvement with major hair companies. I focus on my career and I strive to live my beliefs, that is, ones personal and professional philosophy must operate together for success.
AMANDA - MANAGER
Hair FX is an exceptional salon, the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable and the staff exciting and down to earth. I have assisted Michael in creating that atmosphere by managing the salon since 2006. I often travel with Michael and the hairstylists for educational training. My main focus during these trips is acquiring managerial skills that would better help our salon and our clients.
KELSEY - FRONT END
This salon is a family and our clients are relatives in need of a warm greeting and a cup of coffee. That is what I do; I take care of all your needs. I started here in the beginning of 2008 and since then I have been enticed by this industry. I have been a model for the stylists many times and each time Ive enjoyed my new style. My favourite part of my career is being able to enjoy the before and after looks of each client and the smiles they share when they leave.
JENNAH - ASSOCIATE
I started my journey at hair FX, as a receptionist in the fall of 2010. Since then I have fallen in love with the industry. Working at the front end, I have been lucky enough to attend the education that the salon has provided and it has inspired me to go into the hair industry myself. I am excited to learn and grow with the talented staff here at hair FX and I look forward to continuing my career as a stylist in the future!
KARA - LEVEL 4A
Ive been a hairstylist for 16 years; working most of them at Hair FX Incorporated. This salon has given me the opportunity to pass on my knowledge as an educator to new stylists. Keeping up with whats new is what fuels my creativity. Attending seminars near and far keeps things fresh. I have worked backstage at hair shows with many of the leading hair companies including Wella, Joico, Graham Webb and Redken. Ive learnt from some of the best! I believe you need to follow your heart to be happy. Why wait for it to happen, embrace it! When you look great you feel great!

I love to do hair. I've been a hairstylist at Hair FX since 1999 and love every moment of it. I've traveled to many places and have been to the biggest Redken International conferences, so that I can study and learn. Competition is an important part of my career and I look forward to testing my abilities again soon. Making people beautiful is the most satisfying feeling. Every day and every client is an experience on its own. Being creative is an art and doing art is my life. My passion is to create custom styles for every hair type. I am entirely devoted to satisfying the needs of my clients.
PAMELA - LEVEL 3
My passion for hair began at a young age, inspired by both art and fashion. My objective is to create a masterpiece on each guest to best suit his or her personal style. I believe the key to success is through ongoing education and training. I specialize in creating personalized haircuts and unique colour placements. I have been in the hair industry since 2001 and joined the Hair FX team in 2007. Being part of this team has allowed me to take my creativity to the next level, by working with the Blue Lightning dance team, participating in photo shoots, fashion shows, and competitions. I was part of the Joico Hair Fantasy team where we recently won first place. I also placed third in the Redken Cover Competition in both 2008 and 2009.
KELLY - LEVEL 1 *ON MATERNITY LEAVE*
Styling hair is one of my creative outlets. Ive been in this industry since 2005. I have my Red Seal certificate in hairstyling. I love attending Redken courses. Education is brought to us in a way that is exciting, fashion forward and cutting edge. I enjoy cutting and colouring both male and female clients. I excel in working with naturally curly hair. I like to bring out a clients natural beauty by working with hair texturemay it be, wavy, soft, coarse or blunt. I also like stepping out of the box and experimenting with clients who are interested in something completely different.
MELINDA - LEVEL 2
Four words to describe why I do what I do: I. Love. Doing. Hair.The moment I decided to make the career switch from floral design to hairstyling, I knew I was doing the right thing. Though I enjoyed my previous career and my other artistic interests, there seemed to be something missing and I realized that through all of my experiences, the ones that remain the most memorable are the times when I have shared that creativity with others in a personal and interactive way. The beauty that comes from those awesome experiences is what I love most about creative expression, and that's where you and your hair-long, short, curly, wavy or straight-come in. Ten years later I'm still having fun, and enjoying it more than ever. I love my job. I'm committed to educating myself in all aspects of the hairstyling industry in order to make you, my clients, look your best and feel your best.
AMY - LEVEL 2
I came to Hair FX because of its commitment to education, which is very important to me. I have always wanted to be on the cutting edge of fashion and hair design. I have been in this industry since 2007 and with each passing year, my love for this career grows. I thrive on meeting new people and introducing them to my fresh ideas. I love all aspects of the industry but my passion lies in the area of creative colour placement and trendy haircuts. My goal is to always stay up-to-date and modern with my clients.
JAMES - LEVEL 1
I began my training in hairstyling because I enjoy interacting with people and using my creativity to its fullest potential. I have been in the hair industry since the fall of 2006. I like to experiment and create fashion-forward styles. Natural, soft looks for every day to funky and eccentric works of art. I like to compete in every hair competition presented. Even if I may not win, I enjoy the experience of sending an over-the-top hairstyle down the runway
CHLOE JOY - LEVEL 1
I joined the Hair FX team in 2008, immediately after graduating from Capelli Academy. I recently completed the associate program and am now a full time stylist. I spent my time as an associate observing, helping and gathering information from my co-workers, in the hopes of gaining a well-rounded and thorough education, and I feel I did just that. I have a knack for working with coarse, curly, unruly and high maintenance hair and I adore creating and maintaining beautiful blondes. Sit back, relax and enjoy your service at Hair FX. I promise that youll leave looking and feeling phenomenal.
AMY WYNN- ENTRY LEVEL
I’ve been at Hair FX since the winter of 2008, starting out as a client and joining the staff as a stylist in 2010. I’ve known that I wanted to work in the hair industry since I was very young; I’ve always been driven by fashion, makeup and of course, hair. It allows me to be creative and work in an environment that inspires me every day. Staying up to date on education is something that is very important to me, whether I’m working on set of a photo shoot or behind my chair at the salon; I’m always up for a new challenge.
KELSEY C- ENTRY LEVEL
I am a strong believer that fashion is an extension of a person’s personality. Whether it’s a new pair of shoes or a new set of highlights. It’s a way of showing who we are, who we’d like to be and how we want the world to perceive us. As a blonde (and a crazy one, at that!) there is nothing more satisfying than walking out of the salon feeling confident and like the you that you’re meant to be. As people we are constantly reinventing ourselves and our identities, and I love that this industry follows suit. I am committed to my education to offer modern and classic personalized looks for each of my clients.
ALANA - LEVEL 1
I began as a client at Hair Fx and from the moment I walked in, I loved the atmosphere that the stylists had created. I’ve always wanted to be part of a positive team environment and I have finally found it. After my training at Winnipeg Technical College I had a meeting with Michael and the rest is history. There is no other way to describe my passion other then I absolutely love hair. I enjoy the personal aspect of this career as wel
