Meet Larissa
A Passion for Art, Connection & Effortless Beauty
Hi, I’m Larissa - originally from Australia, but I’ve called Canada home for the last 13 years. I’m all about travel, great conversation, staying positive, and of course, fashion and personal style. I believe everyone deserves to feel amazing in their own skin (and hair!).
With 18 years behind the chair, hairstyling has become so much more than a career to me—it’s my creative outlet, my way of connecting with people, and something I genuinely love doing every single day. Growing up, I was drawn to art and design, and by 15, I realized I could channel that creativity into hair—and I’ve never looked back.
What keeps me passionate is not just the artistry of hair, but the relationships I build along the way. It’s the conversations, the trust, the shared stories—it’s those connections that make this work so meaningful to me. Every client, every appointment brings something new, and I’m always inspired to keep growing, learning, and helping people feel their absolute best.
Get to Know MeGreat hair is more than a look - it’s a feeling. Confidence, creativity are at the heart of everything I do.
My Ethos:
I’m a sunshine lover, travel enthusiast, and forever inspired by the laid-back elegance of Mediterranean living.
Fun Fact:
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”
– Coco Chanel

Hair Tips from Valos
-
Let your hair thrive between appointments with these effortless rituals:
• Trim often, grow strong. Regular trims every 8–12 weeks keep ends fresh and prevent breakage—yes, even when you’re growing it out.
• Hydrate like you’re on holiday. Treat your strands to a weekly deep conditioning or hydrating mask. Think of it as a spa moment for your hair.
• Care for your scalp like skin. A gentle massage or exfoliation boosts circulation and promotes healthier, fuller growth.
• Ease up on the heat. Always use a heat protectant when styling and try to keep the flat iron and curling wand to a minimum.
-
Little switches that go a long way:
Skip daily washes. Overwashing can strip your scalp of its natural oils. Most hair types thrive with 2–3 washes a week.
Sleep on silk. A silk or satin pillowcase helps reduce friction, frizz, and breakage—plus, it keeps your blowout looking fresh longer.
Brush with intention. Choose tools that work with your hair texture, not against it. We’re always happy to recommend the right one.
-
What happens at the salon is only half the story. The rest happens at home—with the right products, a few good habits, and a little guidance. During your visit, we’re happy to tailor a care routine just for you—simple, effective, and aligned with your lifestyle.
