Find Your Calm
Walking into The Seahorse Salon is like discovering a new land. A place where you immediately relax and find your poise. This is not a flashy, trendy place, full of noise and chaos. It’s an oasis where you’ll be welcomed with warmth, and treated to something special just for you.
Cut It, Colour It, Cure it
The Seahorse Salon was created out of founder Jenn Ghaney’s vision: A reprieve from the everything of everyday. A place where hustle and bustle is put on a shelf and peace and relaxation is applied like a balm. Our team is artistic, knowledgeable, and committed to our craft and your comfort. Our space is welcoming to all genders, ethnicities, abilities, and identities. We serve people, not bias.
Reemerge Rejuvenated
When you leave The Seahorse Salon, you’ll feel rejuvenated and so will your hair. You’ll walk out with confidence, not just because you’ll look great, but because you’ll be fearless in taking care of your hair at home. Welcome to The Seahorse Salon.
Meet our The Seahorse Salon team, where the health of your hair is our commitment and where luxury is applied generously. Our team is part of the Dresscode Project, an alliance of salons providing safe spaces without judgement for the queer community.
The Hair Care Experts
JENN
GHANEY
Proud owner and team leader of the Seahorse, Jenn is delighted to bring you some of the best talent in St. John’s.
With more than two decades in the industry, Jenn has focused her entire career on naturally curly clients, and takes great delight in seeing them finally embrace their own hair!
Jenn firmly believes a healthy curl styles itself. Her intent is to bring the best hair care products to the island to help you achieve your best hair at home.
EMYN
HAYDEN
Emyn is an emerging hairstylist that has been styling hair professionally for 2 years. Since he could hold a pencil, he’s been finding and exploring new ways to create art. Hairstyling became a natural extension of this creative drive and he has been excited to practice and share his passion with our community.
When not behind a styling chair, Emyn can be found with his partner and their furry kids out in nature or at home curled up watching a great movie.
JESS
MURPHY
As a kid, Jess coloured everything in sight. Now, with more than a decade as a stylist specializing in colour, she knew she had turned a passion into a career.
Leaning on her vast knowledge of the complete chemistry of colour, she loves being creatively tested and loves a challenge.
Whether your colour goal is something natural, wild or anything in between
her main priority is maintaining the health of your hair. In Jess’ chair, you’ll relax and give her full creative and responsible freedom.
PATRICK SQUIRES
Patrick started with us as an apprentice when we first opened in July, 2017. Since training with our owner Jenn, his career as a stylist has flourished.
With a focus on natural texture, Patrick strives to create a safe and inclusive space for whoever sits in his chair.
Whether it’s teaching you how to nourish your curls or giving you a fresh head of highlights, Patrick wants to help you embrace your authentic self.
LEDON WELLON
Since 2008, Ledon (pronounced Leh-dawn) has been making clients feel their best by teaching them to embrace their natural hair.
She’s one of our curly specialists, making sure clients with curly hair are never overlooked or underappreciated in the hair world. Ledon’s goal is to help each client love their hair and embrace any natural curl or wave that they have.
JODY
LEAR
Jody Lear is one of our Salon Coordinators by day, and a Disco Diva by night! Beginning at the Seahorse Salon as a client, Jody quickly became passionate about curls and hair health.
She is always happy to help with any questions you might have about products, appointments, and all things "Seahorse!" When she's not at the front desk of the salon, you'll find her on stage with funk band Cabot Power, or singing golden oldies with acapella group The Boogie Babes!
MONTE
Monte is often the first face you see upon entering the Seahorse. After he sniffs out your purse or pockets for treats, he retreats back to his little bed for his 500th nap of the day. Even his curly mop is styled just for you!
He is a Standard Poodle and hypoallergenic to most people, be sure to let us know in advance if his attendance will bring an unwanted tear to your eye.
The experience was so educational as well as relaxing. I LOVE that there are a ton of cruelty free/vegan products! My stylist was so friendly and inviting and made me feel right at home. I can’t wait to come back! I honestly can’t recommend this place enough!
