Darcie Jillian at Antidote Hair

I am Darcie Jillian a seasoned stylist but new to the Kelowna and Okanagan area. Moving to Kelowna and stepping away from the hair empire I created back home was a hard transition. It wasn't the money or success that I missed, it was the people. My greatest realization was that after giving it all up and starting over being a hairstylist is truly what I love to do..

I am really excited about the next chapter of my career and would love for you to be a part of it. I am looking forward to really getting involved with promotional work and opening a salon in the near future. If you're looking for a new hairstylist I'd love the opportunity to be that professional.

If you're a stylist or artist in the beauty industry and you're looking to do promotional work or build your portfolio I would love to offer my services!

January 2014 marked my 11th year of being a hair stylist. If you haven't had the experience of meeting me you should know my main goal is making you look good but most importantly to help you feel your best.

Being a stylist for me is my passion and my creative outlet. It couldn't be a better career choice for me, as I genuinely love people and making them feel a 100% when it comes to their hair. "Lets face it you wear your hair everyday, you should love it and have a custom design for you"

My love for the hair industry is so strong that in 2006 I joined the Redken Canada team of educators, while still maintaining my full time position as a stylist. This venture empowered me even more in my career as I became intensely trained in the science behind the hair and was a part of the worlds largest educational team.

With Redken, I have travelled across Canada from the west coast to the east coast and into the United States learning the latest in the fashion industry to the fundamentals of hair as well as new trends and techniques.

Eduction is one of my favourite aspects in my career, I feel it feeds my soul and gives me the confidence to create whatever my clients need.

"life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like" Let that stylist be me and end the crazy cycle and i'll get you to your hair goal!!

New to Freelancing in Kelowna and the Okanagan area. If you are a photographer, stylist or artist of any kind and need promotional work done or if you are building your portfolio please contact me.
