Vanessa is the newest addition to the mekka team! She has over 12 years experience as a hair stylist and makeup artist and has worked in salons as well as worked on location for shows, photo shoots and events in Montreal as well as abroad.
Her dream is to continue as an artist in education, forever learning and growing and sharing her knowledge with future students and clients.
A lifelong hairstylist and former salon owner, Alison began her career in Montreal after immigrating to Canada from Ireland as a teenager—and recently returned after nine years working abroad in Berlin.
She loves to blend European style with North American finish and is especially good with “difficult” hair and curls.
Well-known for her skill in creating layered, dimensional, “lived-in” color and cuts, she is very fond of Balayage and is devoted to studying and discovering new industry trends.
She speaks English, French, and German fluently—and is a certified master hairstylist in Germany.
