We are where?

It has been a crazy month! It has been non-stop meetings, pick up this, where can I get this, what the hell is this, omg I need this!! But I ruv it so much. So let me describe the space. The building was buit in the early 1900's, it still has it's original brick walls and wood flooring....amazing. We walked in and the space felt so right, it has character, charm and a great vibe. What is the area like? The salon is located right across from the new Woodward's development (700 condo units), which is also the future home of the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts. Plus we are surrounded by our wonderful neighbours Nouvelle Nouvelle, Revel Room, Bruce Eyewear, La Casita and many more! Enough talk here are some pics of the place pre-reno's.



Opening day Thursday, July 3rd. Book your appointments now at info@stuartdeansalon.com or call 604/687-7399 and we will confirm your appointment within 24 hours.
