Hi, I’m Ri, a licensed scalp and hair specialist in Ottawa, Canada, with over a decade of experience in the hair care industry. My passion is helping individuals overcome hair loss and achieve healthier, vibrant hair. Having personally experienced hair loss; from postpartum shedding to stress-related thinning, I deeply understand the emotional and physical toll it can take.
You are not alone on this journey.
As a professional, I am committed to providing personalized hair care solutions that address the unique needs of your scalp and hair. I am dedicated to educating both clients and fellow professionals about how hair changes over time due to stress, diet, and lifestyle factors. My goal is to not only help you understand your hair and scalp but also empower you to care for them in the long term, rather than relying on temporary fixes.
I specialize in corrective hair colour, blonding techniques, and hair colour transformations, using only the highest-quality products. I take a holistic approach to hair care, focusing on healthy hair growth and long-term success. I also love sharing my knowledge of colour theory and proper colour and blonding techniques, whether it's with clients or through educational content designed to empower beauty professionals to improve their craft.
Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the beauty industry, I developed a deep appreciation for quality hair care products. My grandmother, in particular, instilled in me the importance of self-care and the value of using high-quality ingredients, rose being her favourite. This respect for product integrity has shaped my professional practice, guiding me to use only the best formulas for my clients' hair.
For me, hairdressing is an art form. I see haircutting as sculpting and colouring as painting, carefully tailoring each service to your unique features. Whether I’m performing freehand blonding or creating custom shades, I combine the science of lightwaves with the artistry of hair pigments to create stunning, natural-looking results that adapt beautifully to different lighting.
I’m grateful you’re here! This platform was created in response to client requests for educational content on scalp health, hair loss solutions, hair colour tips, and more. As a mother, wife, and artist, I’m constantly learning and evolving myself, and I hope this space provides a resource for you to explore new possibilities for your hair, whether you’re managing thinning hair or seeking the perfect colour transformation.
Thank you for trusting me to guide you on your hair journey.

I want my clients to have access to the absolute best, and Reverie is exactly that.
