Meet The Team

Rita Robertson,
Owner / Master stylist

A Second Generation stylist, was born and raised in Westboro. Rita graduated from Sutton Hairdressing School in 1984. As a girl, on Saturdays Rita would work in the salon with her cousins Peggy, Cindy and Bonnie. It was fun... " We had to wear a uniform in those days and the Bonnie Beauty Shoppes had a Scottish theme, so we wore kilts. We shampooed hair, swept the floor, took out rollers. brought coffee to clients and refilled empty shampoo bottles.... we were busy!". Rita took over the family business in 1998 and continues to service the same devoted clientele from the start. She is a master stylist, specializing in cutting, colour and perms. For Rita, perfection is a target and she constantly gives 110% into building relationships with clients, leading the salon team and making Divine Hair & Tanning Studio the warm, inviting and professional place that it is!
