Shannan has been cutting my hair for 40 years. I trust her implicitly. She always knows exactly what to do with my fine hair. Whether it’s a cut or an occasional color, I’m always extremely happy with the results!

ORRiginal is the kind of salon you dream about! Full attention to you and your hair needs, one client at a time!! The owner Shannan is and expert colorist and master stylist who pays attention to details and only uses professional hair products. But it's also about the experience. Shannan makes your visit fun and educational all while being in her beautiful home studio overlooking Departure Bay in beautiful Nanaimo. I highly recommend her. 10 out of 10!!

I have been seeing Shannon for my hair colouring and cutting for many years. She is a master at her craft! Would highly recommend.

I’ve been going to see Shannan at Orriginal for my hair for nearly 4 years. Her attention to detail, and skills are impeccable. I get compliments on my hair routinely, even when it’s been weeks since my last visit. The studio is a short walk for me, but I’d travel much further if I had to. The quiet, relaxed atmosphere there is just what I need for my self care. Thank you so much!
