Hi there! I'm Sophie Dickson, a certified curly hair specialist, and hairstylist with formal training from Vancouver Island University and Rëzo Academy.

I moved to Vancouver Island in 2019 and could not find a curly hair specialist anywhere. I’ve always wanted to be a hairstylist so this gave me the push I needed to make my (and your) hair dreams come true!

As a specialist, my goal is to help people feel confident in their natural texture. My process includes a detailed in-person consultation, a cut precisely executed for your unique curl pattern, as well post-cut education and aftercare tailored to any lifestyle or occasion.

I strive to help each and every client achieve their ultimate hair goal! Sometimes it’s a curly cut, other times it’s a straight cut, a lived-in balayage or a vivid colour transformation!

Every time you are in my chair, it is a transformative experience.
