Our Team
Let's talk about our stylists.
We don't do anything by half-measures at Role-Play. Each one of our industry-leading professionals operates as their own business, thanks to our chair rental studio setup. This means that every stylist in our shop has built a loyal clientele, proving time and again their exceptional skill, talent, and unwavering commitment to our community.
So, whether it's a daring new hairstyle, a vibrant colour transformation, or just a touch of self-care, at Role-Play Hair Studio, you're not just getting a change of look—you're experiencing a revolution of self.
Now... let's Role-Play.
Meet Our Stylists
Brae
SHE/HER
Oh hey. My name is Brae (she/her); I received a comprehensive and rigorous education at the Aveda Institute of Victoria and take a multi-faceted approach to hair.
As a Master Stylist, I specialize in everything from colour to blondes, vivids, and cuts (she does it ALL). I am an artist first and foremost, and fashion has been a huge inspiration to me. My love for pop culture keeps me invested in current trends and styles.
Check out my Instagram account, @braecarnes, for more information and photo references.
Inclusivity and human rights are at the root of my being, and I try to tie this into my business the best I can. As an LGBTQ2s+ Rights activist and educator, I built my business with the comfort of my clientele in mind.
I offer gender-affirming hair services and understand from lived experience how powerful these can be. Feminizing my hair was the very first step in my transition, fueling a passion for helping others on their journey to self-embodiment.
I apply my industry skills and life experience to ensure you are seen and understood and always leave looking hot (whatever that looks like for you).
See you soon xo
Zoe
SHE/HER
Hello! I'm Zoe, a passionate barber and hairstylist with over a decade of experience crafting diverse and expressive hair designs.
After completing the VIU Hairstylist Program in 2014, I spent three years building my foundation as a stylist within salon environments before transitioning to a career as a barber in 2017.
As a barber, I've dedicated myself to mastering short haircuts, alternative styles, and creative colour placement. My work blends artistry with technical skill to bring your vision to life. Whether you're looking for a bold new look or a subtle change, I'm here to help you express yourself through hair.
Check out examples of my work on my Instagram @zoo.hairstylez, and feel free to contact me with any questions about my services.
Let's create something amazing together!
James
THEY/HE
Hey there! I'm James (they/he), Libra, and I’ve been behind the chair for 10 amazing years.
I spent the last four running my own shop, but now I’m focusing on my passion—creating beautiful blondes, correcting colour, and playing with rainbow/vivid hues!
When I’m not in the salon, you’ll probably find me binge-watching TV shows, dabbling in a little gaming, or exploring my witchy side.
I moved from England to Canada when I was 8 and have had a serious case of wanderlust ever since. I kicked off my journey in Ontario at a performing arts high school before heading out to BC in 2014 to attend the Aveda Institute. Travel is a huge love of mine, and I’m always planning my next adventure.
If you want to talk about hair, travel, or even which TV show you must binge next, I’m your person!
