Curly Hair Vancouver Gallery

@suerandhawa_, the creative force behind @theopticalboutique in Vancouver, has spent more than 35 years helping people see and be seen in a way that feels uniquely their own. For Sue, style has never been about following rules. It’s about personality, confidence, and finding those unexpected pieces that make you feel good about yourself. Captured in the elegance of Hycroft Manor, this collaboration is a celebration of individuality, creativity, and the belief that personal style only gets better with time. ❤️ Creative Director: Karyn Rudance @curlyhairvancouver Photographer: Yvonne Hanson @yhanson_photography Stylist: Yvonne Lal @styled_bylal Makeup: Jared Daniels @jaredanielz Hair: Martin Hillier @martinhillierhair BTS: Elijah Silva @silvanator Location: Hycroft Manor @hycroftuwcv

This woman 🥰 She makes my life better! We started with layers of self-done copper and in only one session (4 hours) we got this beautiful caramely blonde. The hair gods were with us that day! #curlyhairvancouver #curlyhairspecialist #vancouverhairstylist

From copper to blonde in one sitting! Color correction goals! This smokin hottie is my friend @natheerav who lets me play in all the creative ways ❤️ #curlyhairvancouver #vancouverhairstylist #curlyhairspecialist #colorcorrection

This client and I have been together for over 15 years. Her company makes my day every time shes scheduled. #curlyhairvancouver #vancouverhairstylist #curlyhairspecialist

Not all changes are bold. Sometimes a bit of care is enough to make a big difference ❤️ #curlyhairvancouver #vancouverhairstylist #curlyhairspecialist
