Why Canvas Stands Out

We are a forward-thinking inclusive salon, taking pride in allowing you to express your personal style. Canvas offers the ideals of luxurious comfort in a laid back space. Our energy allows you to relax and indulge in exceptional services such as: Haircare, Facials, Nails, Waxing and Lashes. A warm welcome, and each of our providers’ commitment to their craft are just a few ways we set ourselves apart.

Our Commitment

We are a team that is dedicated to bettering ourselves and each other. Our commitment to continued education and professional growth opportunities helps keep us at our best. We love the powerful combination of practicing our craft and seeing people feel good about themselves!  Our Platinum Status with L’ANZA Healing Haircare allows us to offer the best continuing education available in our industry to our service providers. This is all possible thanks to you, our guest, by purchasing your take home products from us during your visit to the salon.

Our experienced staff is committed to nothing short of excellence. We are proud members of the professional beauty industry and we continually take part in educational opportunities that better our skills and allow us to master new techniques. When you visit Canvas Salon and Day Spa, you will discover professionals who take great care in answering your questions and ensuring you feel confident when you leave.
