James Bay, Victoria · Since 2004

Welcome to
Sigma Squared Salon

A small, bespoke hair salon on Dallas Road in James Bay, where great hair, a warm welcome, and real relationships have gone together for more than twenty years.

We opened our doors in 2004, just steps from the ocean, and we’ve been growing, learning, and finding new ways to inspire ever since. We’re proud to be a James Bay neighbourhood salon, and just as proud of the hundreds of people who keep coming back to us: from right around the corner, from all over Vancouver Island, and even from Vancouver.

Over the years, many of the faces in our chairs have become close friends. To us, you’re never just an appointment on the books. You’re an important part of the Sigma Squared family, and we can’t wait to get to know you.

It all starts with listening. Tell us what you love, what you’re ready to let go of, and what you’ve secretly been wanting to try. Our Victoria hair stylists listen first, then shape a cut or colour around your hair, your features, and the way you actually live.

So sit back, relax, and feel right at home. Ours is a warm, friendly, safe space where you and your stylist get to explore what makes you shine, together. Everyone is welcome here, whatever your identity or expression.

Soft, lived-in balayage. Bright, beautiful blonding. Seamless grey coverage, sharp barbered cuts, and silky smoothing treatments. Come in for a quick refresh or a full transformation, and walk back out into the sea air feeling like the best version of yourself.

More about hair colour

Thicker or longer hair can take extra time and product, which may add to the price.

Dimensional Colour

Highlights and balayage add light and movement, so your colour looks natural and grows out softly. Foil highlights give brighter, more defined pieces. Balayage is painted on by hand for a sun-kissed, lived-in look that needs fewer touch-ups.

Blonding

Going blonde, or going blonder? We lighten your hair all over, then finish with a toner that sets your perfect shade, from warm honey and butter to cool, icy platinum. We take our time and lighten with care, so your blonde looks and feels beautiful.

Haircuts & Styling

Every haircut includes a full consultation, a relaxing shampoo and conditioning treatment, your cut, and a finished style. Long layers, a sharp bob, a clean fade or a little one's first trim: we'll shape it to suit your hair and your everyday routine.

Big changes, and very long or thick hair, can take extra time and product, which may add to the price.

Texture Services

Smoother, easier hair, or brand new curls. Cezanne smoothing treatments calm frizz and make your hair quicker to style, and a perm adds waves or curls that last. Not sure which is right for you? Ask us at your consultation.

Proprietor•she/her

My formal training as a stylist took place in Victoria in 1997, although I’ve been working in salons since I was in my early teens and believe I was born crazy about hair and all things to do with it! I have had the good fortune during my 25+ years in the industry to work with some amazingly talented stylists. It is from them that I developed my passion for hair into a full on love affair with the industry. I am 100 percent committed to providing each individual guest with a personalized experience by helping them translate their visions for their hair into beautiful reality.

TC

Stylist•she/her

I am so fortunate to be able to find a career that allows me creative freedom as an artist. I have a passion for my work that many people do not get to experience and for that I feel very lucky! I was trained in Calgary, but my life is in Victoria and it is here that I came to stay.
