Darling & Dapper is a family run business. Vanessa and Allison are sisters and Zena is Vanessa’s daughter. You Taylor (Allison’s daughter) running our front desk and helping out with other tasks.    

Because we have a combined 27 years of experience, we have branched into our own family business to offer our guests the very best in beauty services. 

We are also Dog Friendly Salon. Our Staff have lovely dogs who may be at the salon during your visits. Our pups names are Fern and Treasure the Golden Retrievers, Paloma the Wire haired Pointing Griffon, Lucy the miniature dauchsund, Bowie the Cowboy Corgi, and Zara the Sheepadoodle.

Our Name

Darling & Dapper Hair Salon and Beauty Emporium started out as “Oh Darling” a saying that is very dear to our hearts as our Mom and Nana called us all “darling” and used the expression “Oh Darling” all the time.  So we really wanted Darling used in our name.  The name became Darling & Dudes, as we wanted our male guest to feel included.  Then the suggestion of Darling & Dapper came to us from one of our guests, and we loved it!  It has a Classic Hollywood/ Old English appeal. 

Darling & Dapper it is! Hair Salon was obvious and Beauty Emporium came about because, one of Zena's favorite movies is “Mr Magorium's" Wonder Emporium.  So was born, Darling & Dapper Hair Salon and Beauty Emporium.

Green & Our Environment

Green!  We are a green salon and spa.  We recycle, compost, buy conscientiously and use products that are environmentally and animal friendly, organic, natural and vegan.  To us green represents being environmentally responsible and it happens to be Vanessa’s favorite colour.
