New location for Studio 98 Hair Salon
| Business |

Customers at Studio 98 Hair Salon are enjoying the new location on South Lakeside, and owner Barbara Bruin says that between the spectacular view and the comfortable atmosphere of the cabin-style building, it’s like coming home.
The hair salon moved from 10th Avenue to 1617B South Lakeside in January. Although the location, the view and the surrounding neighborhood has changed, the warm customer service and hairdressing and barbering skills that Barbara brings to the picture have not.
She has been ‘doing hair’ in Williams Lake since 1984, and some of her clients have been coming to her for over 15 years. Men, women, kids, teens and seniors: Barbara does hair for the whole family. She offers cuts, styling, perms, colours, highlights and lowlights, with excellent prices and convenient hours.
Her hairdressing career began at the Montrose School of Beauty in Abbotsford where she became certified. She owned her own salon, farmed for a few years, had three children and bought the salon back. Studio 98 moved from 10th Avenue into town and back, before moving to South Lakeside.
“When the little building on my property became available I decided it was time to move,” she said. “I love this new location – it’s warm and cozy, a ‘home’ environment and has a spectacular view of the lake--it’s more ‘me.’
“Everybody enjoys the new location. It’s only three minutes from the Walmart turnoff—very easy to find, convenient and accessible,” she continued. “People tell me that they feel relaxed and comfortable; that’s really important to me.”
Studio 98 customers come from the whole Cariboo area, and from places like the Okanagan and Kamloops.
She said that many people go their whole lives searching for the career that is right for them and never find it. “I’m very fortunate to have the clients I have—they’re all wonderful and they’re why this career works for me.
“I want my customers to have an enjoyable experience, to be able to laugh and be happy with what I’m doing for them,” she continued. “I want them to feel very comfortable and at home, and I want them to know how much I care about them.”
