Like many small business owners in Vancouver, Denise Meikle continues to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a master hairstylist and colourist with over 35 years of experience in the industry, she’s the owner of Salon Origins, located at 1088 Hornby Street.
Given the impacts of the ongoing crisis and restrictions around gatherings, Meikle imagined that her holiday season would be extremely slow.
“What should be the busiest time of the year for hairdressers is completely different this year,” she tells Daily Hive.
However, things changed for the better since she took home the Avant Garde Hairstylist award at the 32nd annual Contessa Awards (aka, the Oscars of the hair industry) produced by Salon Magazine.
