Soho Culture
Edmonton Hair Stylists don’t just stroll into Soho with a pair of scissors and land behind a cutting chair. We don’t just let anyone stand behind our chairs and we don’t fill them indiscriminately. Rather, our master hairstylists are comprised of passionate, well-educated, and creative talents who share a belief that the Soho experience should be engaging, mind-blowing, and professional from beginning to end.
Our team willingly subject themselves to our intensive audition process to earn the right to share this with you as a member of the Soho team. We truly believe that our clients are the most important part of Soho, and together we strive to ensure that our clients always leave our salon feeling like a million dollars.
