CHRISTY JONES MORRISON

I have early memories of my mom giving me home perms and sitting under the portable dryer. It was obvious to me that there had to be better options then the strawberry blonde “disco-fro” I dawned from the age of 4 on.

I have had the privilege of building my clientele in a few salons around Lethbridge and some of those clients have been with since the beginning of my career in 2000. I decided to put down some more permanent roots and open Bettys & Bombshells in 2009. I truly enjoy all aspects of being a stylist, especially creating new looks. Many of my clients just say, “I trust you”, and I get to bring out the best in them.

At home, I have my supportive husband and our mushy pitty Patty. Together we love to travel, go to movies, and Netflix and chill. Did I mention I love shopping?

I joined the team in 2016. I love the joyful carefree fun and professional environment that is noticeable to every person that walks through the door. We have a truly amazing team and I admire everyone that I have had the pleasure of working with.

I have kept up to date with the latest styles, trends, tips, and tricks that my industry has to offer. With every client that is new to me we will have a visit, anything from lifestyle, maintenance , and past experiences are discussed in my consultations. This ensures there are no grey areas or surprises when my clients leave the chair. I love bringing everyone’s personalities to light letting their inner beauty shine through. It is truly a beautiful and rewarding line of work to be in. I wish everyone loved their job as much as I do.

When I am not in the salon I’m usually with my better half Brett or with my family. The mountains are where we spend the majority of our spare time camping, horseback riding, and riding quads. I’m also a 3rd generation lifetime member of the Mosley gun club where I compete in trap shooting in a league.

I have been a hair stylist for over 25 years. My career as a stylist has given me the opportunity to meet a lot of special and interesting people. I feel lucky to have wonderful clients with whom I have formed special relationships with over these many years.

I specialize in soft natural styles, razor cuts, and have worked with a lot of naturally curly hair. Making people look and feel good about themselves is something I enjoy.

I am married and have three children. In my spare time you will find me reading, watching sports, or on the golf course.

JADE VAS

Hairstyling as a career, has been the most rewarding and fitting for my personality. Being fun and creative all while making people look and feel good about themselves is the most amazing feeling.

My biggest goal as a stylist, is to make everyone their happiest and the best of the best. When my guests are 100% happy and have a big smile, I know that I have done my job. I have a unique outlook on life and I live for the opportunity to share my sense of humor and big heart with anyone who will let me.

My work as a colorist is my passion, from bright and vivid, to natural highlights, to deep and chocolaty brunettes.
When I am not at the salon, you will catch me out at local concerts, enjoying some great music and dancing. I love my three cats Molly, Leo, and Yoyo. I love to snuggle and watch Netflix and scroll through the Buzzfeed videos, and Instagram. Hashtags I follow are #catsofinsta #positivevibes #sephora.

I like to think of stylists as artists and artists are forever learning new techniques. Working with hair is incredible to me, it’s an art, it’s creative, it is modern and trendy but historical too. Its very personal to each individual and I love meeting unique people everyday.
I personally love to dabble in color and new ideas. Anything from soft and vintage to alternative and bold.

I was fortunate enough to begin studying cosmetology when I was just 15 and it was love at first fingerwave.
I started my career in Calgary at 17. By the time I turned 19 I’d moved to Bettys and Bombshells in Lethbridge for new adventure and opportunity.

In my spare time? You’ll find me skating at SLP and trying new tricks. I have a passion for animals and nature because Canada’s wildlife is so important to me. I’m an amateur artist, I like pen and ink or acrylic painting. I also put a lot of time into visual journaling. Otherwise I’m busy rocking out to Misfits, The Beatles, 70s and more with my boyfriend Zach and our Bunnies!

SAM TOOHEY

I moved to Lethbridge in 2010 to pursue my career as a hairstylist.  I joined the Betty’s team in 2014.

The hair industry is always changing and my guests are always wanting to try new styles.  Whether we are “chopping” it all off, or a color makeover, I love that I get to learn all the new techniques and apply them to my guests and friends.

When I am not at the salon, I am usually getting together with my family and friends, especially my little big furry, four-legged sidekick Dex.
