Doris’ Salon

A master of detail, Doris has left no avenue of opportunity un-explored in building her hairstyling artistry, her team of young stylists, and the space in which she brings her business to life.

Doris transformed a shipping container into a cozy salon and has built a career on meticulous braiding skills. Honestly, when she does your hair, it doesn’t hurt, she takes her time, and all the braids are exactly the same. And she’s teaching the 4 girls under her tutelage to do the same.

Since becoming a LOVE Mentee one and a half years ago, Doris has been eagerly improving her knowledge of natural hair and cutting. In her next sessions, she and our founder, Charlotte will be revising colouring techniques.

As a determined young professional and mother, Doris intends to use this broader range of skills to offer more styling options, to even more clients. Effectively expanding her business and the opportunities available to her apprentices and her young children.

She is a great example of the community-wide good that can come from creating cultures of sustainability for young entrepreneurs.
