Our Team

Much to my mother's dismay of keeping my toys in good shape, I was cutting every doll's hair long before I ever realized that it wouldn't grow back! Being that I am solution-oriented, I needed more dolls!

This industry has had me for life. For over 25 years now, in fact. I had tried to leave it and try a couple different things only a few people would know about, but the industry has always drawn me back in.

I moved to Regina after 13 years of establishing a clientele in small town Swift Current with 2 impactful statements from previous employers that have never left my heart. One was – "Tammy, you clearly have a natural talent for doing men's hair. That is something to be proud of. You are better at it than I am!" Thank you Lance! The other was – "Tammy, your clients love you because you believe in quality over quantity. You will see others making higher totals, but your clients are more loyal to you for your higher level of service and care, please don't change that!" Thank you Darcy!

I must sheepishly admit that when I was offered to join Modern Men Salon as one of the ground floor employees in 2009, I thought YES!! This is exactly what I need. Cutting men's hair will be EASY and Mindless! Man, I was Wrong! It is the most challenging aspect of cutting hair. It requires incredible skill and attention to detail if you want the best results! No margin for error!

That is why I love it to this day. Not only does it keep me on my toes to deliver quality work. I absolutely LOVE soaking up the wisdom, humour & experience of the vast make clientele in my chair.

Everywhere I go, my eyes draw me to the quality of haircuts that surround me. There is good and bad, which makes me think about how we can do better here for All men as we want to consistently give a higher level of care and service than they are used to getting.

I know in my heart I have NO business without our clients AND my amazing team! I love them with All My Heart! I want Ultimate success for All of them! I am so thankful that I get to be with these people every day!

Anyone who knows me knows I never stop learning. I talk fast and move faster. And I am pretty intense but with good purpose and love! I will never stop learning to be a Better Employer, co-worker, mom, partner and of course, Men's Stylist! I strive to be better every day 😊

After putting hair on the floor for over 25 years now, I love it more today than I did in the beginning. It's like a romance that evolved from a casual courtship to a lifetime commitment. The more I learn, the deeper I fall in love.

Barbering is an old and interesting story, and I'm fascinated with the history and tradition of it. I like feeling that I'm part of something that was born long before me, and will live on, long after I'm gone. I like to think I'll leave a page of my own in the story of the world's (second) oldest profession.

Women can do all sorts of creative things with makeup and fashion, while men have somewhat limited options for self-expression, a man's haircut and facial hair can change his whole appearance and the way he feels about himself. A man who looks good and feels good about himself will be a better man all around. Being a part of that gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. I'm honoured every day, that the men who sit in my chair, trust me and allow me the privilege of serving them. I'm very proud of my small place in the boy's club!

Hi there. I'm Brenda. I'm the elder of the beautiful, talented ladies at Modern Men Salon, But by no means the longest years of service.

Life happened, and after 25 years of marriage, I was on my own. No job, no education. I thought of myself as somewhat of an artist, painting watercolour, acrylic painting and beaded jewelry. I Was pretty sure I wouldn't pay a lot of bills that way, so my sister-in-law said to me one day why don't you go to beauty school, you have always wanted to. I thought well, that is artistic. So even at my age, I did my research and found a school I felt comfortable at. On my first day at school, all the young girls thought I was the teacher. It was perfect timing. I graduated and got work immediately.

Since I have an artistic background, I automatically thought I would love doing ladies' colours. I did learn that I liked it but didn't love it. The education of men's hair was very minimal at school, and barbering was not offered. But that's where I shined. My real education came right after school, taking men's cutting classes, making mistakes and figuring out what not to do, but also watching my very talented coworkers that I have tremendous respect for, and learning from them.

I don't even know how to express how much I love my clients. I have so much fun every day going to work, it's my social life. My guys are the best. I love transforming them. Some come from work looking like busmen and leave looking like GQ models. I also can't forget about my special lady clients. My first salon at Chatters is where I met some wonderful lady clients that will be with me forever, and that has helped me keep the doors open in the early stages of Modern Men. I was only known just to do ladies' short hair; some are scared that I will kick them out if they start growing out their hair. That will never happen.

All and all, I'm blessed to have the amazing clients in my chair and to share the great atmosphere of our modern-day barbershop Modern Men Hair Salon.
