The Lounge has been nominated and been the recipient of numerous awards since opening in October of 1997 for local, national and international titles.  Some awards are creative in nature, some business related, and some given by clients themselves. Each award is a testament to the quality and commitment to the industry—clients can be sure that they are in good hands upon entering the salon.

Some of the awards require you to submit images of your work which is adjudicated by a panel of professionals benchmarked against other Canadian stylists. Others, you must be nominated as a contributing member of the industry in order to enter, competing with the top names in the industry.
