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 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.
