Background: 14 years at Calia Hair Specialties: Up Do’s ▪ Women’s Cuts ▪ Men’s Cuts ▪ Kid’s ▪ Special Occasion Make-up  Most defining moment as a stylist? I love connecting with my clients on a personal level and helping them embrace their inner Chai. Okay, I am a bit of a free spirit, so helping clients envision a natural, ready-to-wear style that embraces their individuality and lifestyle – that’s ideal. Maybe it’s the closet hippie in me – but I love that tousled, beachy, bed head look. Greatest joy? When I can help my clients enhance what is already there – to me then I’ve done my job. Whether it’s a new cut or highlighting their natural beauty -- I want to make sure their makeup suits them for their special day. Polished, not overdone. It’s like having that little black dress – timeless elegance. ​ Tour de Force? Blow drying. I love a challenge and I am known for being able to tame even the frizziest hair. I take a good blow dry to a great one! ​ Favourite saying: Love is in the hair. ​ What do clients say about the Connie experience?  “Her smile is infectious and, yes, she’s known for giving her clients a heavenly scalp massage – that alone is worth the visit. Recommend her to all my friends.”
