🖤 My name is Sydney Walker and I hope to have the pleasure of becoming your ride or die hairstylist! Ive been in the beauty industry professionally for almost 9 years and it blows my mind that it’s been that long already! In high school I was a huge theatre nerd and did a lot of costume character design. One production I did they created “Best Hair and Makeup design” in the zone because my 1920s gypsies were just to good not to win one. That’s when the spark happened. I attended a makeup academy in Calgary earning a diploma and my ITEC certification, which means an international qualification that is valid in 39 countries throughout the world. Focusing in film and photography. Then I attended MC collage in Calgary full time for hair. I put in alot of extra hours that resulted in graduating 3 weeks early! When I started my career I wanted to take every opportunity possible that was given to me. I have travelled to Toronto, Victoria, Phoenix, Orlando and all over Alberta for countless education classes. Let alone online education and courses just so I can make sure I’m always in the know so I can provide the best experience as possible! Education is at my core. I’m my spare time you can find me reading fantasy books and cuddling my two fur babies Eevee and Meeko. Im a huge concert and music enthusiast, I love the mountains, trying to bake and cooking new things and if I could describe my aesthetic it would be goth glam? Least that’s how my boyfriend describes it. Dark colours but anything sparkly. Basically I say he calls me a crow. 🤔

Anyways I don’t want to make this a mile long either. If you have made it this far I appreciate and applaud you cause my adhd definitely would have kicked in. I look forward to seeing some new faces and like always I love seeing my die hards in the chair. I appreciate you all and I hope you feel beautiful today! Much love always
Sydney 💕

POV: You asked me to do your glam and I accidentally unlocked maximum s*x appeal.
50 minutes later: YEAH, BABY, YEAH!

The finished look just hits, and confidence is suddenly on another level.

That’s the magic of makeup: not changing you, just turning the volume up on who you already are.

Confidence: activated.
Compliments: incoming.
Humility: on break. 😂

And yes… I love doing that for you!

I have a question..

How did I end up with the best job in the world? 🖤

Getting to create, connect with amazing people, make them feel good, and call this my work never gets old.

Seriously… how lucky am I?

Thank you to all of you who continue to support me, trust me, and let me do what I love. I wouldn’t be here without you. 🖤

“So you’re an artist…”

Yes.

I’ve loved creating for as long as I can remember. Before makeup, it was acrylic paint and a blank canvas. That’s where I first learned that every brushstroke could tell a story.

Now my canvas just happens to smile back at me.

Wedding mornings are full of excitement, nerves, hugs, and forever moments. This is something I’ll never take for granted. 🪞🥀

2027 Waitlist is starting to fill up!

Come spend the morning with me while I get one of my brides ready. 🤍

Wedding mornings are filled with so many little moments, from the quiet getting ready moments to the final touches before walking down the aisle.

Also, did you know I travel for weddings? ✈️
Whether your day is close to home or somewhere new, I’d love to be part of it.

Normalize this energy:

✔️ His card is already on file.
✔️ He picks you up after your hair appointment.
✔️ He says, “I made dinner reservations.”

Fresh hair deserves more than running errands.

The best accessory to a fresh colour isn’t a new outfit… it’s a man who says, “Don’t worry, babe… I’ve got it.” 💳🖤

Now that’s a green flag.

Who’s sending this as a hint? 👀🥀
