Aurelia

The team

The stylist matters more than the salon.

Aurelia is a small practice. Every stylist consults their own clients, sets their own pricing within the salon range, and signs off their own work. Pick the person whose practice fits yours, or start with a consultation and we will pair you.

Amara opened Aurelia in 2019 after eight years between Toronto and London. Her work centres on hair that already has a strong personality. She trains the rest of the team on curl protocols and consults on every colour correction.

Stylist

Elena Vásquez

Editorial cuts, fringe and short-hair work

Elena trained in Madrid before moving to Toronto in 2022. Her cutting is methodical and architectural. She is the stylist clients book when they are ready for a real change and want someone to talk them through it carefully first.

A note on training

Our team trains together once a month, often with visiting educators. We share notes on every colour correction. The salon culture is small enough that any stylist on the floor knows your history by your second visit.
