Shannon Matheson
With over 25 years in the industry, I infuse precision, creativity, and heart into every aspect of my work. My training with Toni & Guy and Vidal Sassoon, along with my extensive education with the Keune color and haircare, allows me to specialize in custom cutting, color, blonding, and intuitive transformations. As a Reiki Master and intuitive coach, I am dedicated to fostering a salon environment grounded in connection, where beauty and wellness harmoniously blend. Leading Realm Salon and Wellness with intention, I embrace mentorship and nurture a profound love for my craft. Beyond the salon, I cherish my role as a mom to two teens, a dog lover, and a partner navigating life together, all while believing in the true essence of beauty and the importance of holding space for others.

Makaila Blumhagen
Hi I’m Makaila, I’m a passionate hairstylist with a decade of experience dedicated to enhancing my clients' confidence. Since graduating from hair school, I have focused on the details that make each client feel comfortable and valued, understanding that it is often the small things that have the biggest impact. My primary goal is to help clients achieve their dream look while bringing out their inner beauty. I take great pleasure in assisting clients in realizing their full potential and fostering meaningful relationships. When my scissors are down, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog, exploring new breakfast spots on weekends, or unwinding at home with my favorite shows. If you are ready for a transformation that boosts your inner confidence, feel free to explore my work on Instagram @mak_overs_yyc and schedule an appointment to turn your hair dreams into reality.

Kayley Sinclair
With over 20 years in the beauty industry, I’ve had the incredible privilege of building lasting relationships with my clients—many of whom have become like family. Hairstyling has always been about more than just hair for me; it’s about connection, trust, and creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.
I’m especially passionate about working with blondes—crafting bright, dimensional highlights that bring out each client’s natural glow. Alongside my technical work, I’m also Reiki-trained. My goal is for each person in my chair to leave not just looking beautiful, but feeling recharged and confident.
Outside the salon, I’m a mom to a beautiful boy who keeps me grounded and endlessly inspired. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll usually find me soaking up the (rare) quiet moments at home, listening to music, or spending time with my family and close friends. I live for summer lake trips and jumping at any chance to see live music. While I’m a homebody at heart, the energy, connection, and stories shared in my chair continue to be some of the most rewarding parts of my life.
I’m so grateful to be a part of Realm, and I can’t wait to welcome new faces—and reconnect with the many of you who’ve supported me over the years.

Erin Hook
Hi, I’m Erin. With over 25 years in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredibly talented people who have inspired me to keep learning and growing throughout my career. My passion is colour — from bright blondes and sea-glass greens to fiery reds and rich brunettes.
I’m so grateful for the amazing client base I’ve built over the years. Many of my clients have been with me through so much and have truly become like family. I look forward to seeing each and every one of them in my chair, and I always aim to keep our appointments fun while making sure you leave feeling confident and beautiful every time.
I’m currently completing my Reiki, yoga, and breathwork training, with the intention of offering these services to my guests as well. My approach is simple: I want everyone to feel confident, strong, and beautiful — inside and out.
Outside the salon, you can usually find me walking my dog, spending time with friends and family, or being an auntie to my nephews, which is one of my favourite roles.

Brooklyn Linderman
Hi, I'm Brooklyn!
Coming from a long line of talented hairstylists, you could say hair is in my blood. After completing my hairstyling certification at MC College, I am now nearing the completion of my apprenticeship and have loved every step of the journey.
I have a passion for creating soft, lived-in color and effortless styles that enhance your natural beauty. From dimensional blondes and rich brunettes to seamless blends and low-maintenance color, I love crafting looks that feel modern, personalized, and easy to wear.
Creativity has always been a big part of who I am, and turning that passion into a career has been incredibly rewarding. I am committed to continually refining my skills, staying inspired by new techniques and trends, and creating an experience where every guest feels comfortable, confident, and truly themselves.
I look forward to welcoming you into my chair and helping you achieve hair you love.

Paige Albert
Hi, I’m Paige, a passionate hairstylist with a love for creating effortless, lived-in color and beautifully crafted bobs. I have over 15 years of experience behind the chair. For me, doing hair is so much more than a service—it’s a chance to connect, laugh, and build genuine relationships with the people who sit in my chair. My clients quickly become friends, and that connection is what fuels my passion every single day.
Originally from Winnipeg, I’ve recently made my way back home and I’m beyond excited to meet new faces and welcome returning ones. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a total transformation, I’m here to create a look that feels like you.
When I’m not in the salon, you can usually find me at the dog park hanging out with my four-legged best friend, Jupiter, or diving into house renovation projects with my partner.
I can’t wait to connect with you—and to help you feel like your most confident, effortless self.
