About Moda
Hair is personal.
So are we.
Moda is a family-built salon and professional haircare shop rooted in craft, education and honest advice.
We believe good hair starts with understanding the person wearing it — how they live, what they love, what they’ll actually maintain and what their hair can realistically do.
The founders
Two people. Two different strengths. One Moda.
He had the craft.
She had the vision.
Together, they built Moda.
Kris brought the hairdressing — technique, precision, education and an obsession with getting better.
Chantelle built the experience around it — the brand, operations, client care and the belief that every detail matters.
They opened Moda in 2010.
Not because the world needed another salon.
Because they thought a salon could be better.
What we believe
We’ll tell you what your hair needs — and what it doesn’t.
Great hair comes from education, technique and attention to detail.
The goal isn’t just beautiful hair today. It’s hair we can keep beautiful.
Your colour, cut and home routine have to work outside the salon too.
Our story
It started with a few chairs.
2010
It wasn’t planned. We had six weeks to open, had only been together for six months, and probably had no business moving that fast.
But we believed in each other’s vision.
So we took the chance, opened our first little salon in Courtice, and started building what would eventually become Moda.
2018
Moving into a bigger Bowmanville space gave us room to grow without changing what mattered most—our culture, our craft and the way we care for our team and our clients.
More space simply meant more room to do Moda, better.
2020
When everything stopped, Moda Salon Shop began.
What started as a way to keep professional haircare in our clients’ hands became something much bigger. We built it to help keep the salon going, pay the rent, and make sure our team had a place to come back to when the doors could open again.
What began out of necessity became an extension of Moda itself.
2024
We’ve grown up, found our voice and built a culture we truly believe in. Through every chapter, one thing has become clearer: we want to make this industry better—for the people building their careers in it, the clients who trust us, and the next generation of hairdressers coming up behind us.
2026
This next chapter is about more than growing our footprint. It’s about creating more space for great hair, strong careers, meaningful education and the kind of salon culture we believe this industry deserves.
Same Moda. New neighbourhood. More room to grow.
Behind every product recommendation
Our online store didn’t start as an ecommerce idea. It started behind the chair.
The products we recommend online are informed by real hair, real clients and the conversations our stylists have every day.
We know what happens after you take the bottle home.
The people who make Moda, Moda.
Different specialties.
One standard.
From emerging talent to seasoned stylists, barbers and colour specialists — our team brings different strengths to one goal: making you feel your best.
Never finished learning
Education isn’t something we do.
It’s how we work.
We invest in advanced education, internal mentoring and ongoing training — then bring that knowledge back to the salon every day.
Hair changes. Technique evolves.
We should too.

The family behind Moda
You’re supporting more than a checkout.
Every appointment booked and every order placed supports a locally built business, a team of hairdressers developing their craft, and the people behind the screens packing boxes, answering questions and making Moda happen every day.
From our family to yours — thank you. ♡
