Oh Hey There!
Let us take a minute to introduce ourselves. We're Shaleen & Payton, and we are the duo behind your chair.
We’re a small but mighty duo who believe great hair starts with great connection.
At Shay & Co, it’s not just about the perfect cut or colour—it’s about creating a space where you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.
Shaleen, owner and journeyman stylist, brings years of experience, creativity, and heart to every appointment. Payton, our adventurous apprentice, adds fresh energy, curiosity, and her own creative flair.
Together, we’re here to make sure every visit feels relaxed, fun, and totally you—because the best kind of beauty is the kind that feels authentic.
Meet Payton Yee
Apprentice stylist. Plant lover. World traveler. Outdoor adventurer.
Hey, I’m Payton, a Vancouver native with a passion for people, creativity, and all things hair. After years of tree planting, exploring over 15 countries, and chasing adventure wherever it leads, I’ve found my happy place behind the chair.
I’m currently apprenticing at Shay & Co, soaking up knowledge, perfecting my craft, and bringing a little sunshine, good energy, and creative flair to every salon day. I believe that hair is more than just style: it’s about self-expression, confidence, and feeling like your most authentic self.

When I’m not in the salon, you can usually find me hiking trails with my sidekick Nora (a sassy 5-year-old German Shepherd-Husky mix), getting lost in a good recipe, jamming out at live shows, or tending to my ever-growing plant collection.
I’m so excited to be a part of this incredible team and to grow in a space that values connection, creativity, and the magic that happens when we feel seen, heard, and taken care of.
Can’t wait to see you in the salon.
