sylvie
BROW & PERMANENT MAKEUP ARTIST
Sylvie has been a permanent makeup artist for over 8 years. She has found a passion in making women feel more confident and beautiful while also saving them precious time in the mornings! She loves doing microblading/combo brows and brow laminations because she truly thinks the correct shape of brows enhance a person’s facial features.
Outside of the spa she enjoys snowboarding and spending time with family and friends.
lisa
SENIOR STYLIST
Lisa started her path in the beauty industry 23 years ago at Blanche MacDonald in their make-up artistry program. A couple years later she made a quick gut decision to enroll in hair school. Turns out, it was absolutely the right decision for Lisa! After 8 years working in the industry she made the move to Calgary and took a break from being behind the chair. After 4 years away she knew she wanted to return to it. She challenged the Red Seal exams and became certified in Alberta while pregnant with her first child. The following year she joined the team at B.U Salon & Spa and has become an integral part of the culture. She loves doing soft blended highlights, short ladies cuts and is dubbed our round brush blowout QUEEN!
Always creative in nature, she loves just about anything crafty, though most days her craft endeavors are focused around her kids current obsessions. Baking has been a pastime for as long as she can remember - a dangerous combination for someone with a sweet tooth!!
jessica
SENIOR STYLIST
Jessica has been part of the hair industry since 2016 and joined the team at B.U Salon in fall of 2020. From someone that loves to take on new projects and crafts at home, she knew being a hairstylist would allow her to work hands on and be creative with a new client each and every day. She is so inspired in getting to know people personally, then have them walk out of the salon feeling and looking their best. Her clients have taught her so much over the years, allowing her to keep growing into the person she is today.
Jessica just welcomed her first baby in September 2024! She will be enjoying her time off from behind the chair to raise her new baby girl. Congrats!
