TOMMIE
est. 2013
PRESIDENT/MASTER STYLIST
The saying goes, “You can’t go home again,” but in 2013 Tommie did just that. After twenty-two years of loyal service at a downtown Edmonton salon, she went back to her roots in the community where she grew up, and opened Tommie Salon. The time was right: having raised two beautiful kids, she was ready for the commitment to open her dream business. And the location was perfect: a great neighbourhood, easy access from all parts of the city, and best of all, it was home.
Tommie’s clients feel right at home with her skill and keen eye for what looks most beautiful on them -- even if it sometimes means being persuaded to make a change. (She can be very persuasive!) They also know her as a great story teller with an infectious laugh and endless positive energy. That’s how Tommie picks her staff: for their love of working with people, and their commitment to the best styling techniques.
When it comes to technique, this home-town girl has trained in hairstyling in Canada and around the world, including the United States, France, Spain, England, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, Italy, and the Dominican Republic. She has placed as semi-finalist and finalist in numerous industry competitions, and has won the cherished Mirror Awards, recognizing the creative talents of stylists at the top of their profession. Having achieved all that, Tommie and her staff are focused on an even bigger reward: winning the dedication, respect, and satisfaction of their clients. Welcome home, Tommie!
