After making the big move to Canada, it didn’t take long to dive headfirst into the exciting challenge of opening the Daniel Craig Hair Salon.
Within just a week and a half of landing, I had already found the building. My first thought? "Wow, this is massive—way too big for me!" But, after a couple of days of overthinking, I decided to just go for it!
Then came the real challenge: finding a builder or contractor in a new country, Oakville specifically. Can you ever trust a builder? I wasn’t sure—especially when you’re navigating the whole process in a different country. But, I got lucky and was recommended a reliable contractor. We started tearing down walls and rebuilding, but it wasn't without its challenges. Oakville, and Ontario in general, has a lot of red tape when it comes to construction and renovations.
However, I have to give credit to the Town of Oakville. Once I reached out, they were incredibly helpful, connecting me with the right people and guiding me through the process. While it’s been a crazy ride, full of highs and lows, I’ve loved every minute of it.
I’ve learned so much about this beautiful place, and while there have been both good and not-so-good moments, it’s all part of the journey. I can’t wait for everyone to see the salon and appreciate it as much as I do. My goal was to bring something different to Oakville, with the clients’ comfort at the forefront, and I hope that comes across when you see it for yourself!
Looking forward to welcoming you soon!
