Cutting some 'Locks For Love'

Well today was a pretty special day for me at the shop. One of our clients Anna, had been growing her hair for quite some time. This past year her uncle was diagnosed with cancer, and to show her support to him and all of the others battling hard against the disease, she decided to cut 10 inches of her hair off and donate it to Locks For Love, an organization that takes donated hair and makes wigs for people going through cancer treatment. I just want to say that this little girl touched my heart and I felt very privileged to be the one to give her her new style, thank you. Check out the process below :)

January February 2009 Newsletter



HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!



Hey Everyone welcome to 2009. This year promises to be a great year.


We have HUGE News!


THELOFT Hair Studio has MOVED!!!


We are really excited to introduce you to our new location.


33821 South Fraser Way


We are located right next to Champagne and Lace.


The new location has the same warmth as the old one with even more of a cozier feel and way more space. Heather and I have been working there over the holidays to make it our own. We have a few more things that will be coming in the future but we are thrilled with how everything is turning out!


All of my contact information and payment options are staying the same, so in that regard nothing has changed.


We don't plan on having a sign out on the front of the building right away but our sandwich board is out front and the name is on the door. We are the little two unit building right between Champagne and Lace and the brick building with the LED store in it.
