Despite her impressive achievements as a Joico stage artist, owner of multiple salons and manager of yet another in Vancouver, BC, Shannon Simmonds is not content to merely ride the waves of her success. She has her sights set on becoming an international platform artist and producing the most popular salons in Victoria and Vancouver. 2007 was a boon for this bright and sophisticated university graduate who won the Canadian Colourist Award, the Multicultural Stylist Award and the BC/Alberta Stylist Award, one after the other. When she isn’t working and/or traveling she indulges her passion for creating fantastic photoshoots and besting other contestants at hair competitions.
