Our Stylists
Candice Grace
OWNER & MASTER STYLIST
Candice Grace
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius ♒︎
Your Journey in Hair: I've always been the one to work on my friend's hair and makeup, even from a young age. My journey in the beauty industry began at Marvel College in Red Deer, where I initially enrolled for makeup. However, it was the college director who saw something in me and encouraged me to explore hairstyling. Although I had self-doubt, the unwavering support of that director convinced me to return. Fast forward 16 years, and I've been passionately creating beautiful hair for my clients. Co-founding a salon with Stephaine ignited a new drive in my career, and I now find immense fulfillment in mentoring and guiding our stylists. Embracing the opportunity to support the next generation in our industry is truly rewarding.
Deathbed Meal: Earls Dynamite Rolls with a Chicken Santa Fa Salad and a side of Cheesecake.
Favourite Pastime: Outside of hair I like finding new things to do. I have recently taken up reading tons of self-help books, finding new recipes on TikTok and teaching myself how to cook. Yoga is my next adventure!

STEPHAINE HELSBY
Zodiac Sign: Libra ♎︎
Your Journey in Hair: My hair journey started in high school when I took a job at a hair salon and my love for hair blossomed! I have spent the last 13 years working full-time behind the chair. I have taken my passion for hair to a whole new level and have opened up B&B Hair Co. with Candice to share and teach my love for hair to other like-minded individuals. I enjoy sharing my passion and making my customers' hair dreams come true.
Deathbed Meal: Turkey Dinner
Favourite Pastime: Horses, Horses, Horses! I have two lovely horses that I spend most of my time riding and showing. They get me outdoors and keep me present.
LANA SCHMIDT
MASTER STYLIST
LANA SCHMIDT
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn ♑︎
Your Journey in Hair: I clearly had a passion for hair from a very young age. My Barbies always had the best hair! Watching my Mom do her hair and makeup everyday, definitely influenced my love for all things beauty. From there, I started hair in Grade 9 Cosmetology then continued hair at Marvel College in Edmonton. I continue doing hair because of the confidence one new hairstyle can give a person. Watching people completely transform internally, and see it translate externally is something that will never get old for me.
Deathbed Meal: Seafood! Feed me all the scallops and oysters.
Favourite Pastime: I love photography and would like to study it more. Also, spending time with my family and friends is the most important to me.

Your Journey in Hair: With both my mom and sister being stylists, I have always had a passion for hair. After 14 years of working in the oilfield industry, I decided it was finally time to live out my dream of becoming a hairstylist. In 2020 I went to Est-Elle Academy to take my training and in 2023 I now have my red seal journeyman certificate.
Deathbed Meal: Steak and lobster dinner.
Favourite Pastime: I love taking pictures of anything and everything!

JADYN PIDSADNY
Zodiac Sign: Taurus ♉︎
Your Journey in Hair: My hair journey started when I was in Grade 10 Cosmetology - not having any plans for the future, and trying to figure it all out. I found a love and passion for hair, and that’s when I decided to become a hairdresser. I graduated high school and got my first job in a salon folding towels and sweeping hair. From there I attended MC College, graduating in 2020 and starting my journey here at B&B Hair Co.
Deathbed Meal: If I was in my deathbed I would want my last meal to be a mountain of perogies!! With all the fixings.
Favourite Pastime: In my spare time, I like to take my cat for walks in his stroller, do arts and crafts, and practice my makeup skills.

Zodiac Sign: Virgo ♍︎
Your Journey in Hair: I started my hair journey when I was 15 starting high school and decided to join cosmetology where I found my passion for hair (and talking all day long)! I went to Estelle hair academy in 2019 and furthered my education and knowledge on hair. I started at B&B Hair Co on our opening day and have been here ever since learning new skills everyday and growing my clientele in the community.
Deathbed Meal: Probably an entire pizza, tacos, a pasta and 2L of Red Bull.
Favourite Pastime: If I’m not in the salon, you can find me peeking through the windows waiting for my next shift lol! And binge watching TV and golfing in the summer months.
SYDNEY HUTTON
JUNIOR STYLIST
SYDNEY HUTTON
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn ♑︎
Your Journey in Hair: My hairstyling journey really started in my High school Cosmetology class. At first, I took the class to fill my schedule, but I quickly learned that wasn’t true. I really enjoyed the class. I was able to be creative with what I did and I enjoyed the learning part of it as well. I continued to take it all the way to Grade 12 when my teacher handed me a list of schools I could attend. The following Fall I attended Est Elle Academy, and I’m super glad that I did!
Deathbed Meal: A big bowl of Chicken Alfredo pasta
Favourite Pastime: If I'm not in the salon, I'm either listening to music or reading.
