Curls by Lish

✨Janet

This hair was so very joyful to create!!!! We wanted to create a look that would last a looooooong time! Something that will grow out beautifully and bring joy and fun when she looks in the mirror.

This was an 8 hour project. 6 hours to foil and wait for them to lift to our desired undercoat. The last two hours were spent creatively applying and processing the purple and pink hues you see to her greys (white hair) and to the prelightened hair.

Would you believe these photos have no filter!? No ring light?! And!!! Were taken at night!!!!

Do you want beautiful vivid colours that don't fade and won't disappear down the drain? Ask me about Elumen!

I'm so in love with this look:)

✨ Would you like to be guided into deeper relaxation at the sink today? ✨

In January 2024, I made a commitment to ask every client receiving a shampoo this question. Honestly, it scared the hell out of me.

I’d dreamed of using my private space to offer energy healing and meditation to my guests — but I thought I had to be good at it before I could even dare offer it.

Do you know what happened? By showing up and serving my guests each day, my own practice deepened. Body scans, deep breathing, and following my breath became easier and more natural.

I’m so proud of myself for sticking with this offer. My clients have loved it. I’ve loved it. It’s created a new level of connectedness in my work — and in me. 🩷

This beautiful human wanted hair to better reflect her artist self. We decided I would cut while being inspired by softness, feminine, wood fairy, and most of all, artist.

I love carving hair into shapes that look incredible when you leave but also continue to give life for a long time after you leave my chair. This type of carving and shaping is actually what styles your hair;) True wash and wear hair. My fave.

This look was enhanced with beach bomb, a Canadian and Vancouver based product by AG.

Azadeh✨✨✨

Happy birthday to you!!!

And happy 10 year anniversary to us!!!!! 🥹 So grateful to know you and your journey. So grateful you choose me:)

Azadeh has ALOT of beautiful curly hair. For her lifestyle, straightening it, just works better. She purchased a steampod flat iron for the great ease to smooth her hair without damage.

I love my work.

I'm so grateful to get to serve and take care of the most unique and lovely humans every day.

I'm so grateful to you who choose to sit in my chair. There are many talented stylists out there and I'm honoured you choose me🥹

I'm so grateful to hear the stories of your life, they stay with me, and teach me so many lessons.

I'm so grateful for the knowledge you share with me. I am a better human thanks to all of you.

I love my work so much.
Very grateful over here.

Huge change for this beautiful first time client:)

Thank you for your trust in me and my work. Thank you for letting me know posting on insta is worth it as it's how you came to sit in my chair!

Stylists: when someone requests such a big change: I spend more time consulting to see if it's really a good choice for the client. I learned through our consultation that she'd worn her hair short before, she'd worn shaved sides, so many different looks so I knew she meant it when she said she wanted it gone!:)

Clients: when you are ready to make a big change, spend time gathering inspiration photos of what you like AND what you don't like. Think about your home care routine and what you want THAT to look like. Maintenance, what do you want that to be?

What I’m passionate about behind the chair:

My mission is to give you the best haircut for YOU! this means that you get a haircut that will KEEP working for you as it grows out. For months on end even!

I know which length suits which texture, which curl might grow out of shape first, what length will work for you the longest, and how much growth time you might need to get to your goals.

I can tell you what kind of maintenance you’re in for with that short cut you've been dreaming about, and good news! There’s even ways to make short hair last!
This. Is. My. Mission.
Gorgeous hair now! And gorgeous hair months from now that keeps on working for you✨

I love to teach you about all your styling options to make the most out of your hair. How to wash and wear, how to refresh, how to get more out of your wash with a blow dry or diffuse, how to blow it out and the tools you might need to make this happen.

I’m here to help you busy humans look beautiful, feel confident and relaxed.
