Alysha Way is the newest addition to Studio One Unisex Hair Care & Tanning located at 644 Commercial Street in North Bay.                                                                                                           

A North Bay native, she is a dynamic young lady of only twenty years old who did her high school co-op placement at Studio One before attending the Modern Hairstyling School here in North Bay for her studies. “My studies consisted of a year and a half of in-school teachings as well as 2 years of on-the-job training.”                                

Nicole Groulx bought Studio One in 2007 and Ally was fortunate enough to also have the opportunity to do her apprenticeship there. “Nicky was a real good teacher. She gave me a lot of one-on-one time. She is more of a friend now to me than my boss.”                                                            

From a very young age, Ally liked everything to do with hairstyling. “My parents have many pictures of me as a toddler, pretending to cut my family members hair. In high school, I enjoyed doing up my friends hair for all the special occasions.” But what inspires her the most is the opportunity to give people a, sometimes major, change for the better that makes them feel great about themselves. “I don’t know what it is but hairstyling just makes me feel very good inside and even more so when my client is pleased with my work.”                                                               

Ally takes courses twice a year on products and techniques to make sure that she is on the up and up with everything new in the ever changing industry

Ally works full time from Tues to Sat. She also works the tanning bed and does facial waxing. Tanning sessions cost $7.00 and facial waxes are just $10.00.
