The Onyx Salon Collective

Our incredible Master Stylist Stuart will be taking a short leave starting August 20 for a long-awaited surgery - a step we’re so happy he’s finally able to take toward feeling his best.

He’ll be resting and recovering through September 15, easing back in with modified hours from the 16th, and fully back to his regular schedule by September 29.

If your appointment falls during this time, don’t worry - we’ll be reaching out to you personally to find the best option, and our team will be taking great care of Stuart’s guests while he’s away.

We are wishing him a restful recovery & can’t wait to welcome him back 🤍

Let’s talk about one of the biggest hair debates happening right now 👀✨

If you grew up in the 90s/2000s, you *know* the chunky highlight - bold, high-contrast, face-framing pieces that make a real statement (hi, Kelly Clarkson 💁‍♀️). And they’re officially back. The younger generation has fully embraced the chunky look, and we’re loving how fun it feels!

For the past few years, though, we’ve been living in our babylights era - those ultra-fine, hand-painted highlights that melt seamlessly into your natural colour for soft, blended, lived-in dimension. Low maintenance, grow-out friendly, and endlessly flattering. ✨

Two completely different vibes, both beautiful in their own way 🥰

So we have to ask… chunky & bold or soft & blended? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

Consider this your standing invitation to show up, sit down, and let yourself be looked after for a little while. At the Onyx, we believe your salon experience should feel like a full reset - not just for your hair, but for you too.

We’ve got nespresso coffee, assorted teas, sparkling water, ginger ale, and water on hand - because your comfort matters from the moment you walk through the door.

Oh, and the bookshelf? All yours. Whether you’re deep into something or just need a quiet hour to yourself, there’s always something worth picking up. This is what getting your hair done in Burlington should feel like. ☕📚🖤

September is going to be a big month at Onyx Salon Collective! 🤍🔔

The countdown is very much on for two of our brides - with their weddings just under and just over 3 months away, things are getting exciting around here!

To make sure you don’t miss out on time in their chairs, here’s what you need to know:

Tamzin will be off August 27 – September 9 (wedding day: September 3 💍)

Chloe will be off September 24 – October 5 (wedding day: September 27 💍)

If you’d love to see either of them before or after their special days, now is the time to get booked in - their books will fill up fast! Reach out to prebook your appointment and secure your spot. We can’t wait to celebrate these two! 🥂✨
