Welcome to Moda Salon – Where Dreams Start with a Great Haircut
At Moda Salon, we believe in the magic of a fabulous haircut to jumpstart your journey toward your dreams. Just ask Kris and Chantelle Donoghue, the heart and soul behind Moda. Their story began in 2010, inspired by a transformative haircut during a getaway in Mexico. That moment sparked a passion that grew into something more—a vision to create a welcoming haven where families could feel at ease, at home, and most importantly, beautiful.
What started as a bold dream quickly became a reality when Kris, the creative mastermind behind the chair, and Chantelle, bringing her fresh business savvy to the table, teamed up to create something truly unique. Rooted in their hometown of Courtice, they knew this was the perfect place to bring their vision to life. From an empty space, they built Moda Salon with their own hands, and from the very first day, they welcomed clients with warmth, care, and a personal touch.
Driven by their passion for excellence, Kris and Chantelle brought together a team of talented stylists, each as committed as they were to making every client feel incredible. They invested in continuous education and the best hair care products to ensure that every visit was more than just a haircut—it was an experience.
As Moda continued to grow, they took a leap to enhance the salon experience by moving their original location to a new, thoughtfully designed space in Bowmanville in 2020. Through every step of the journey, they remained committed to making their clients feel fabulous and at home in their salon.
When the unexpected hit during the pandemic, Kris and Chantelle didn’t just adapt—they innovated. They launched the Moda Salon Shop, bringing top-tier salon products and expertise straight to clients' homes, ensuring that everyone could still feel fabulous no matter where they were. Through every twist and turn, their mission has stayed the same: keeping the Moda family looking and feeling their best, both in the salon and at home.
Now, as they look to the future, Kris and Chantelle are expanding Moda’s influence locally and internationally, without ever losing sight of the values that make Moda special: simplicity, attention to detail, and above all, family. Their commitment hasn’t gone unnoticed—Moda has been recognized as a top retailer by the biggest names in the industry, including Davines, Kevin Murphy, Eufora, Sachajuan, Rica, R+CO, Evo, Bumble and Bumble, and more.
As Moda continues to grow and evolve, Kris and Chantelle remain deeply connected to their purpose: uplifting their team, elevating the craft of hairdressing, and making every client feel extraordinary.
At Moda Salon, it’s more than just hair—it’s about turning dreams into reality, one stunning haircut at a time. We invite you to join our Moda family today.
