Hair Salon & Hair loss solutions products for side effects of chemotherapy

Welcome!

My name is Colleen and I am the owner and operator of Pretty Winks Boutique.

I am located in the MD of Foothills, just east of Okotoks. I operate a salon in my home where I offer hair services, cosmetic tattooing (such as microblading) as well as hair loss and scalp care solutions.

I’ve been a licensed hair stylist for over 20 years. For 13yrs I worked for an oncology boutique where I specialized in medical wig fittings for full hair loss as well as medical toppers for partial hair loss, and scalp care for those going through chemotherapy. I’ve trained in Calgary, Toronto and Dallas, and have experience working with brands such as Jon Renau, Henry Margu, Belle Madam, House of European, Follea (Daniel Alain) and Freedom Wigs.

I was humbled when the High River Hospital oncology unit reached out to me, hearing and seeing my extensive experience, and asked Pretty Winks Boutique to partner with them. This was to address the unique and diverse needs of their local area patients, and any others needing my services

I look forward to seeing and helping you! Whether it's for a hairstyle, cut and colour, hair loss solutions for the effects of chemotherapy, alopecia, or thinning hair. Perhaps your brows have become almost non existent, or there is something you are looking for but cannot find, then please reach out and I will do my best to help.

Until then, take good care……

Testimonial

“My name is Sharlene. At the age of 54 I lost all my hair to alopecia universalis. It was in 2008. That is when I met Colleen. She has done my wig fitting/cutting and choosing styles to suit me since the beginning. She has such a good eye that my friends cannot tell if photos of me are from before or after my hair loss. The funny thing is Colleen has never seen me with my own hair. She is just that talented.

Her tattoos are also excellent. I have no eyebrows or eyelashes either. Colleen has tattooed my eyebrows and eyeliner. Her work is excellent! I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist so he was up very close when I mentioned that I had alopecia universalis. He seemed so surprised and leaned closer to look at my eyebrows, he ran his finger over my eyebrow and said “these are phenomenal!”

Colleen is the best! I don’t know what I would have done without her.”

“I first went to see Colleen almost 10 years ago now, after a car accident that left me with partial hair loss due to skin grafts on my scalp. From the first visit Colleen made me feel very comfortable and sure of her ability to help me go forward with my new normal. Her compassion and skill with wig fitting and styling was a very important part of my healing. I would recommend her to anyone, and actually have on occasion, who faces hair loss for any reason. She is a compassionate, caring, and very competent wig fitter and stylist.“

“I met Colleen approximately 4 years ago during a very difficult time. I was losing hair at an alarming rate and had terrible discomfort on my scalp. I was at a loss and started searching for someone who dealt with scalp problems and was lucky enough to get in right away to see her. She did a thorough exam of my scalp and recommended some products to help with the discomfort. She also did a complete scalp massage at that time and that, along with the products, did wonders.

I was extremely fortunate that she agreed to continue seeing me once everything was under control for regular cuts and colors and I still see her to this day. The products she uses are very gentle and I have not had any issues with my hair/scalp since.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Colleen. She is not only very knowledgeable but is a fantastic hairdresser. She is also an all around great person and a friend.

I would recommend Colleen to anyone.”

"Colleen has been amazingly supportive in my alopecia journey. She is knowledgeable about hair loss, wig products as well as microblading. I had microblading done by Colleen that was very professional and produced great results! I have purchased Follea wigs from Colleen that she has cut and styled and have also brought my Freedom wigs to her to have cut and styled and I am always pleased with the end product. I am very confident in her abilities and would highly recommend her"
