History

Established in 1998.

In 1972 Suki moved to Vancouver, bought a small salon at the site of our current South Granville location. Starting with no clients but a clear vision of what hairdressing could be, the company was built one client at a time, primarily through word of mouth.

From the beginning the focus was strong technical cutting and great colour work. In 1978 the Suki’s Academy was founded, primarily to train our own staff. Today the Suki’s Academy attracts North American and international students and is considered one of the finest training facilities in the world. Suki’s was the first salon in Canada to utilize Technicians, who specialize in colour.

The company remains committed to quality and innovation. The vast majority of all Suki’s Stylists and Technicians started with the company as Apprentices, completed the Suki’s Academy and passed a demanding final exam before being allowed to work in the salons. Simply put, our Stylists and Technicians are better because they are better trained.
