Remarkable Results with your Hair Happens Here
I’m not one to go to hairdressers. I have unruly, wiry hair that makes scissor-wielding salon employees very nervous. Suffice it to say that stylists and I don’t really mesh; cutting and colouring my own hair has been my modus operandi for years. But that recently changed during a lucky chance encounter with Irene Weinstein, owner of St. Laurent Hair Salon Coiffure in Westmount Square.

Time for a Radical Change
Throwing caution to the wind, I stepped inside her spacious salon. I was
immediately put at ease. The calm yet cheery atmosphere was reflected in the
clients’ smiles. I felt relaxed here. It
wasn’t boisterously noisy, just nice; I certainly didn’t feel like I was in a
hair assembly line.

“I want to make you feel like you’re in your own living room”, said
Irene who has owned
St. Laurent for fourteen years. Formerly, Charles of Westmount, the salon’s now highly appealing white and red interior is the result of her extensive
renovations. Irene commented that the place has great synergy, and I couldn't agree more. Many factors contribute to this.

Thirty expert professionals, including hairdressers, colorists, make-up artists and manicurists make the magic happen.
Warm and authentic, St. Laurent was about to become a haven of hope for my hair.
In the shampoo area, the smiles continued. Pablo, one of such happy
shampoo specialist magnificently washed my hair using Awapuni shampoo; it’s
specially formulated for treated hair.
St.
Laurent is a Saco-affiliated salon. Its full line of
hair products is a beauty blessing for us all, as Saco – a
London,
England based company – uses all organic ingredients; they are all vegan!
St. Laurent's Saco product line embodies it’s distinct signature of outstanding hair care.
A Spectacular Hair Cut!
Hedy was my appointed hairdresser. Her 38 years of experience here and
abroad was awesomely reflected in her masterful handling of the scissors.
Every
lightning speed stroke with the scissors was done with passion and heart. The
calibre of expertise reflects in the type of professionals dedicated to
enhancing our own distinct beauty at St
Laurent.
Hedy happily handled my hair – all unevenly cut (by me). I began to see
a transformation happening – snip by snip. And there were a lot of them. No
lazy fingers with these talented hair dressers. As I looked around the room, I witnessed
them transform, enhance and handle hair masterfully. They inspire confidence.
They know just what to do, so surrender yourself. All of St. Laurent’s hairdressers will offer you their
advice and a free consultation. I walked out of there beaming ear to ear. It was
an utterly enjoyable experience. Thank you so much St. Laurent Salon Coiffure for
boosting my outer self image and my inner one too. I will be back!
