Elevate Just Got A Lot More Colourful!
Well, cheers to September!
The air is getting crisp and it’s time to get cozy. Fall is on its way and if you don’t know yet, fall is my FAVOURITE time of year. I like lattes even more and I love putting on cozy cardigans and curling up on the couch with a good book in hand. I also love that the sun goes down a little earlier because it sets my body into relaxation mode. There is just something about it! It also means it’s time to redecorate the home and the shop (another thing I’m sure you all know is my love for decor). With that being said…..
If you haven’t seen our space in the last week, we’ve added a few new colourful additions to our walls! Thanks to Curated Walls’ beautiful decals, we were able to add two statement walls for you guys to show off your new hairstyles in front of (and tag us of course:) ).
Let’s talk about this first statement wall (and probably my favourite), we chose the Tropical Blooms Decal to bring in some serious tropical boho vibes throughout our salon. The pops of pink and green with different types of palms transport you to your own little oasis. When you walk in, it’s definitely one of the first things you see (in addition to our beautiful faces haha) and it represents who we are as a brand - warm, fun, colourful, and always welcoming!
The second area in the salon we placed the decals in was the powder room. For those who are a little shy or need to take a few extra selfies to get that right one - we added a decal for you to do your thing! These Pretty In Pink Peonies Decal are a dream in this space with the fluffy pink bouquets of peonies placed throughout the one wall and it really brightens up the powder room (and they are also one of my favourite flowers!).
This was definitely one project in the salon that didn’t feel like work and it was so easy to do. We love how durable they are, able to withstand high traffic areas and most importantly, the install was a cinch. The entire process from start to finish was incredibly therapeutic, almost like we were creating art. It was an opportunity to put my stresses on hold and focus on transforming this second home of mine into something even more beautiful.
In just 5 quick steps, we were able to turn our white walls into something so beautiful. Here were a few of the steps we took to create our statement walls…
Choose the space for your decals. At first, we had an idea in our minds of where the decals would go but after discussing, we felt placing the decals around the gold ‘E’ would create the statement we were going for.
Give the area a good clean! We cleaned the wall of any dust or dirt that may have collected over time. A damp cloth does the job perfectly.
Map out where the decals go. We knew building around the ‘E’ would be a great starting point but instead of winging it and sticking the decals on right away, we peeled off the backing first to place the decals around it, shifting them around to our liking.
Take a photo of your placements before sticking them! This is so important as decals shift in the process of actually sticking them to the walls.
Start sticking!! This part was so much fun and loved seeing our work come to life as we stuck each decal on the wall.

This was truly a fun process - especially when you have a friend to help. We had a lot of laughs and were able to enjoy the afternoon transforming the salon into a space I love even more now (while listening to a good trap music playlist!).
The overall feel of these decals and the purpose of this project was to create a space for everyone to enjoy. I know I’m always saying this, but we strive to be more than just a salon. Since the beginning, I always wanted to create a space that everyone can enjoy, feel at home in, creative in, inspired in and just totally relaxed in. This is a space I want everyone to love, not just me and with these colourful additions - I hope everyone can have fun taking photos of themselves and feel empowered and confident within these walls because it’s more than just hair, it’s about you.
