Earlier this spring, Roots stylist Liz Vanier took this gorgeous girl and gave her one of the funnest makeovers we’ve seen yet! She did a complete head of highlights, deep brown low-lights and punky copper and red sections!

Before Liz got her talented hands on Sarah’s hair.

We believe in being a little silly around here. 

After!

Liz is one of our more daring stylists. She has a great sense of style and isn’t afraid to have fun with hair! Still relatively new to the Comox Valley, she comes to us from Victoria where she trained with industry leaders in color and design.

Looking for a new stylist that listens to your needs and has fun at her job? Come see Liz! She’d love to talk about your hair with you.

The gladiator sandal, already a summer favorite, is literally taken to new heights this season. Knee high gladiator sandals have been all over catwalks. We’ve been drooling over them for days and wanted to share a few of our favorites.

The Althuzarra Sandal is a classic blend of styles. The tanned leather makes it the perfect pairing for a printed summer dress!

Not for the faint of heart, Tom Ford’s 2013 spring collection walks the line between ultra-femininity and intensity. The gold accents are on trend, and the black leather makes it ideal for a night out.

For a more casual look, we have Jeffrey Campbell + Free People’s take on this years hottest foot trend. A tribal print and more relaxed fit bring comfort and style together.

In all honesty, we think that they would be a tough look to pull off. What do you think? Would you try and rock the knee high gladiator sandal? Are they summers hottest item or more of a fashion failure?

In February we had the pleasure of doing an extremely special haircut. Finn Amar, 4 years old, came in to have his hair cut for his friend, Ruby.

Ruby had just been diagnosed with Leukemia for the second time and Finn wanted to help. He managed to raise $600 in just one week. Ruby and her mom are back in Vancouver for treatment, while her dad and brother remain here in the Valley. They expect to be there until August.

We were so touched by the love this young boy had for his friend, that we wanted to do what we could to help. For the month of April, “rubies” will be available for purchase of $1 or more in the salon. All proceeds will go to Ruby Poirier and her family.

You will love these beautiful 20-inch, 100% remi hair extensions! The stylists will show you how to put them in and care for them. They will also make sure they are matched to your hair colour, by colouring them if they need to.
