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 Shaleen Hauck
Craft hairstylist. Salon owner. Wine enthusiast. Top Chef wannabe.

Hi, I’m Shaleen, a passionate stylist who believes great hair is just the beginning of an unforgettable salon experience. My mission? To create a space where you feel seen, heard, and confidently yourself, both inside and out.

I believe in honest communication and realistic goals. It takes more than just technique and skill to create a look that’s truly you. There’s so much more to you than just your hair, and my goal is to reflect your personality and lifestyle through customized, confidence-boosting results.

From childhood Barbie makeovers to building a thriving salon of my own, I’ve always known that beauty is powerful and so is the connection we create behind the chair. With years of hands-on experience and advanced training with brands like CHI, Unite, Schwarzkopf, Joico, and Tigi, I specialize in creating tailored looks that feel effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

Whether you're here for a subtle refresh or a full transformation, you can expect expert care, authentic conversation, and an experience rooted in trust, comfort, and creativity.

I’ve built this business with heart and hustle, and I’m so grateful to now pour that energy into creating something truly special for every guest who sits in my chair.

Can’t wait to meet you.

-Shaleen

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.

-Payton
