Shawn Hairsoda

A little about me:

Born in the Namibian desert, raised surfing heavy shore breaks in Cape Town, and now proudly rooted in Vancouver, my life has always been a blend of adventure, creativity, and good energy. When I’m not behind the chair or checking out one of my favourite restaurants in the city, you’ll usually find me immersed in a passion project. I also love hiking BC’s trails, enjoying live music and painting large mixed-media pieces.

I’ve been doing hair for over 15 years and have travelled the world learning from some of the most incredible artists. I’m known for meticulous attention to detail, bespoke haircuts, and lived-in colour that grows out seamlessly.

My goal is to create hair that feels effortless and suits your lifestyle while solving the small nuances or frustrations you may have with your hair, enhancing your natural texture, and helping you feel like the best version of yourself.

I bring a grounded, Zen-like approach to every appointment with clear communication and a calm energy so you can truly relax and enjoy the experience.
