With close to 30 years’ experience as a hair stylist and salon owner, Tanya Hill has accomplished a great deal. Known for her determination and strong relationship-building skills, she has played an active role in the growth of the beauty industry -- in Ottawa and beyond.

Passionate about professional development, for herself and others, Tanya has made education a key priority throughout her career. In addition to participating in countless programs, workshops, associations and tradeshows, she went so far as to purchase a struggling hairdressing school and revive it in under one year, ultimately selling it for 3X the initial investment. And as a fervent supporter of the Red Seal program and the trade of hairstyling, she has worked on numerous sub-committees, including; chair of MTCU Provincial Advisory Committee for Hairstyling, past chair for MTCU Hairstylist Trade Board, past chair of OCOT hairstyling Trade Board, as well as current chair of the Algonquin College Industry Advisory committee and played a vital part in the continuous evolution and optimization of these programs and committees.

Tanya is also a strong believer in giving back to the community. Among the many causes close to her and her team’s heart are the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Children At-Risk, Ronald McDonald House and CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario).

In August, 2020, Tanya aligned her salon with Beauty For Good -- an online social enterprise and e-commerce initiative designed to challenge and reimagine women’s beauty standards, as well as support the retail component of the beauty industry.

One might think that with such deep involvement in the industry, Tanya may not have time for the chair, but her loyal clients and love for the craft keep her there. And she’s quick to credit them for her personal and professional growth -- “My chair is my university. It’s amazing what my clients teach me every day!”

With almost 25 years as a stylist, educator and mentor in the hairstyling industry, Amy has provided others with many skills to improve their passion in hairstyling while continuing to better herself as well.Amy started out by going to school at Sutton Hairstyling school in Ottawa. Learning the foundations of the craft began fueling her passion for the hairstyling industry. This was just the beginning of her desire to learn and continue to hone her skills in the hairstyling profession. Upon graduation and working at a few different salons, Amy settled in to her work and built a loyal, diverse and stylish clientele.

As the years have gone by, Amy has been an educator for Joico and Wella. Specializing in teaching colour theory and techniques, but also enjoying creative ways of sharing the science involved in the colour and retail that were parts of both lines. Amy feels that hairstylists have to remember that they are not only working on hair. But rather, that they are scientists who create unique looks while teaching their clients the need for the right products, to allow their hair to stay healthy and look outstanding.

All the while Amy was educating, she was being educated herself by some of the biggest names in the hairstyling industry. She has been fortunate to have been educated in colour and cutting techniques by industry experts such as Sue Pemberton, Damien Carney, and Gianni Scumaci to name a few and sees herself as very blessed to have attended many hair shows around North America, the Caribbean and even Europe. Not only has Amy gone to many shows, she has worked backstage and on stage. Doing colour work for stage artists, prepping models, even folding towels and doing clean-up, whatever it takes to learn from the best.

Amy has also competed in many different competitions, from Wella Trendvision, to the Contessa’s as a semifinalist in 2005. This continues to fulfill her creative exploration into unique non commercial hairstyles and colour, with the fortunate opportunity of also getting to prepare models for photoshoots.

Amy enjoys giving back by being mentor not only to her two daughters and other hairstylists, but also to teenage girls in her community. By volunteering with a youth group and providing wisdom, life skills and insight into adult life. But also lending an ear for young women to use when they need to talk and be listened to and be reminded of their worth and strength. The Mantra Amy has come to over her 25 years in the Hairstyling industry is that personal beauty is "More Than Just Hair", it is about a self confidence at any age, which truly makes a person beautiful.
