Morgan
From behind the chair to the salon manager, Morgan is your go-to for great product and tool knowledge. Along with managing operations, she is a mom to an 11 year old fashionista that often gets to be the guinea pig for Morgan’s hair ideas since no longer working behind the chair. Morgan is passionate about what she does, a good product or hot tool; if she finds something she loves, she will tell everyone with ears about it!
Colleen
Colleen started Shear Creations 25 years ago. As a one-woman show, she grew the business to an 8 employee salon (and still growing!) . With a zest for life and a bubbly personality, catch Colleen dancing outdoors on her morning walks with her dog, Kaya. This spiritual chick values making her clients feel great inside and out above all other aspects of her work.
Alex
Our “curly stylist” has been working behind the chair for nearly 22 years. After initially considering becoming a counsellor, as well as having a passion for painting, she realized that working as a stylist would be a great way to combine the two. She discovered a love of the curly world after training under a curl specialist in Whistler early in her career. She is mom to 2 wonderful boys and 3 dogs (her most recent addition, Loki can often be found in the salon giving free puppy cuddles!)
Sarah
Sarah hails from beautiful Prince Edward island where she attended hair school and spent the first 10 years of her career as a stylist. This fun loving hippy is happiest when out in nature and made the big move to take advantage of the lush and laidback West Coast lifestyle. She loves making people look and feel great with big changes to their hair customized to suit exactly who they are.
Blixa
Blixa is a soft spoken old soul. Growing up with mother who worked as a stylist introduced her to creative colour. She attended the hairdressing program at VIU where she developed a passion for creating visually interesting shapes in hair as well as precision cutting. In her free time she loves getting out into nature, reading and checking out the local metal and punk music scene.
Rena
Rena is known for her warm and loving personality along with giving the worlds’ best hugs! Not to mention, she has the most enviable style and shoe collection!

Kim
The Nanaimo medium, Kim Pellerin established her business in 1999 but has had her gift since she was a child.

She has spent many years developing her gift and learning how to best tailor each appointment to each guests personal needs. When not at the salon, Kim loves decorating & upcycling and spending time with her pet cat.
