Hi, I’m Marissa.

Welcome to my private studio salon, located in Oshawa, Ontario.  

Since my teenage years, I've been captivated by the art of hair, experimenting with colours and cuts on myself and friends long before I graduated from Marca College of Hair in 2010.

Now, with 16 years of experience in the hair industry, it is my loyal clientele who inspire me daily and reaffirm my passion for this craft.

I understand that many women face unique hair challenges, especially those navigating perimenopause or menopause. My mission is to cater to your specific needs, offering tailored solutions for mature hair, including grey coverage and blending techniques. I’m dedicated to helping you restore confidence and embrace the beauty of aging hair.

In my studio, I strive to create a calm, inviting atmosphere where you can unwind and reconnect with yourself. It’s not just about a haircut; it’s about providing a moment of self-care amidst life’s chaos. I believe in building strong relationships with my clients, making each visit feel like catching up with a cherished friend. When you book with me, you're not just getting a service; you're supporting a dream and joining me on this incredible journey.

I take pride in my in-depth consultations about your hair. My goal is to provide you with the best service possible for your unique hair texture, colour and lifestyle using my knowledge and expertise.  

Your hair journey is my priority, and I’m committed to educating you on the health of your hair and developing routines that work for you. Together, we will enhance your natural beauty and cultivate a look that reflects your individuality. I’m here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you leave my chair feeling revitalized and empowered.

  • "Marissa is a hair goddess! She has taken my hair from au natural to purple to auburn and now it's so comfortably lived in. She takes her time to understand what you want from your appointment and makes sure that your vision also matches your lifestyle. Recently I wanted to go back to bangs after years of no bangs and she made sure it wasn't a big shock and made it a more lived in style. You cannot go wrong taking a seat in her chair, I 10000000000% recommend her and I tell everyone I know about her. Keep up the amazing work Beautiful!"

    - MAXENE HOLE

  • "Give Marissa creative freedom! She will not disappoint. This hair is such a vibe! My confidence level is way up. I’m literally telling every person who has messaged me about her. No gate keeping, Marissa needs to be nurtured and cherished for her incredible talent and fantastic personality. It feels like home but also professional one on one and I super appreciate that. I truly can’t say enough amazing things so go see for yourself!!"

    - BRITTANY FRASER

  • "I travel from downtown Toronto every 2 months for my appointments with Marissa. She’s consistently given me the hair of my dreams and was responsible for my hair colour and extensions for my wedding. The extensions have stuck around because they are so comfortable and versatile and it’s hard to imagine life without them now. I’ve seen Marissa do it all from grey blending to balayage to vivid colour and she knocks it out of the park every time. I truly can’t recommend Marissa enough!"

    - HANAH ELIZABETH

  • "I’ve been going to Marissa for haircuts and coloring for over a year, and she consistently delivers excellent results. She really takes the time to understand what I want and brings my vision to life every time. After having some terrible experiences in the past with bad haircuts and color jobs at other salons, I was definitely anxious, but Marissa has completely eased that worry with her professional and flawless work. I highly recommend her for any of your hair needs!"

    - JASMINE BARETTO

  • "I have had the honour of having my hair done several times from Marissa. She is so passionate about what she does and it shows. She is beyond knowledgeable about everything to do with hair including how pregnancy and hormones can affect it. This was helpful for me because this recent visit with her, I am pregnant and noticed several changes with my hair. Every time she does my hair I leave with so much confidence and feeling like a beauty queen. Marissa, you are beautiful inside and out! Thank you for what you do!"
