Born in Chad and raised on two continents in a large, multicultural family, Kande has always had an eye for style spanning the entire globe. From training in New York with Nick Orajio, to scanning the streets of Paris to Tokyo for the latest in hair fashion, Kande’s attention to current trends and pursuit of specialist training is tireless.

Kande began her adventure under the guidance of a favoured educator at the Okanagan School of Hair Design, a woman who inspired and encouraged her to reach for excellence. After graduation Kande soon moved to the capital and began securing a reputation as an outstanding stylist in established salons such as The Ginger Group and Le Spa Sereine. In 2010 Kande established the first “Kande Global Hair Couturiere”at the Grand Pacific Hotel where she continued to expand her clientele for 4 and a half years. Always keen to offer clients the maximum in comfort and convenience, Kande moved her salon to 2004 Oak Bay where she shared her excitement with loyal clients at the grand opening of Kande’s Global Hair Couturiere in June 2015.

Jaime Adams

I am originally from Ontario and moved to Victoria in 2012 to pursue Fine Arts/Art History programs.

After a year of creative exploration, I pivoted to my passion for beauty by enrolling in the Aveda Cosmetology School. I started as an assistant and after ten years of honing my craft, taking a multitude of classes from colour and cutting techniques, to a recent Bellami Extension course, I’ve arrived in my current role behind the chair.

My goal is to create a vibrant welcoming space where my talents truly shine while providing clients with a wonderful experience.
