MISSION STATEMENT
Clover- earthkind hair salon is one of the first environmentally focused salons in the city. We may be the only ones to do what we do. From construction to everyday operations we attempt to be as 'green' as is possible in our industry. Whether you are concerned about your health, you have colour allergies, or are concerned about our environment, you can be assured that we are striving to provide the cleanest, most chemically-reduced environment we can. We will use the best all-natural and chemically-diminished colours and natural hair care products that we can find. 100% of the products used in the salon are NOT tested on animals, and our recycling program goes above and beyond to add highlighting foils, colour tubes, composting, and much more: something no other salon in Vancouver claims to do. Allergy free flooring, energy efficient bulbs and appliances, low voc paints, biodegradable cleaners and a commitment to continuously become more environmentally efficient are just a few of the things that set us apart from the rest. We will always be looking for ways to improve our business, environmentally and otherwise.

Jennifer Vanderleij - Colour Technician
Jen has been painting strands and accenting nature as a colourist for the past ten years. As a former artistic educator she loves to explore possibilities and personalities with colour while leaving hair in the best shape possible. She is a fan of rich reds and pale blondes, but many coloured layered highlights are her gem.
No colour correction is too complicated for the patient and distressed client, and no option is too odd to consider. Her focus as of late is on all things ammonia-free and chemically diminished.The aim is perfecting the art of depth in colour and soft and shiny manes with a fun and flirty edge.
Maria Jarvis - Hairstylist
The lovely Maria has been doing hair for the past 21 years. After salon ownership and 5 years as a set hairdresser for films, she rejoined the salon world.
She loves the transformation that is created by full colours and cuts; highlighting her all time high. Her adoration for (and ownership of) curly hair has given life to her own 'curly club' for those with twist like hers! A perfect fit for clover, she happily embraces cruelty-free and eco beauty.
Maria is available Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Melanie Beaudette - Hairstylist
Melanie, the most recent addition to the clover family, is a French Canadian starting her career back east in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. She collected a great education there, moving to Vancouver in 2007 to further her career and education at Joji's hair academy. It is important for Melanie to understand a variety of different styles and techniques so that she may give her clients their desired looks. She has gone as far as to push herself to become a colour educator but soon realized that public speaking wasn't her favourite thing to do. She returned to work behind the chair to continue the work she loves, with her clients! Destined to be a brunette for life, she loves making girls blonde, living vicariously through them! Melanie is our new queen of updo's and creative work on long hair.
She has attended hair shows all over Canada and loves to leave her comfort zone by entering competitions. Her recent win was the 2008 Redken Cover Competition coming 1st place in BC.
Yoga, meditation, health, food, animals and the environment are just a few of Melanie's loves in life, making her and clover a perfect fit!
Andrea Fernandez - Hairstylist
Andrea has been doing hair for the past 11 years after completing training at Joji's academy in 1997. She takes a very relaxing and holistic approach to hairdressing, listening to your needs to create your vision. Andrea is a friendly, down to earth girl who loves doing hair, and though she excels at any cut, she loves short and sassy styles. Come to see her for a relaxing experience that leaves you feeling AND looking good!

Shelly - Hairstylist
With 14 years in the industry, after Vidal Sasoon training and working under/with the incomparable Anthony Crosfield, Shelly has joined our humble hair home!
She loves all cuts and colours, favouring the close trim of men's cuts. Unfortunately for the population that has yet to enter her styling circle she is not taking any new clients.
Sorry!
Those lucky enough to be on her client list will continue to enjoy her sass and charm!
All of Clover's products are animal cruelty free!
Why John Masters?
We chose John Masters for their commitment to organic
hair care, pure and clean. No chemical ingredients here!
The line is small, with 5 styling products (more to come!),
2 gorgeous oil treatments, and a handful of shampoo and
conditioner, each with it's own fantastic aroma.
We fell in love with the blood orange and vanilla lotion first, and the love keeps growing. Those wanting a natural alternative need look no further.

Why Aveda?
We love this company's environmental commitment!
Aveda is the first beauty company manufacturing with 100%
certified wind power. Among other things, they are one of the
largest purchasers of organic ingredients in the personal care
industry and they use materials that are recycled and recyclable
for their packaging. Besides this, they have a large selection of
great hair care products for every type of hair.
Another great alternative!

Liam Shea - Hairstylist
Liam is well-established in the Vancouver salon scene, with over ten years in the industry. He was lucky enough to train with some of Canadas top, award-winning stylists at cutting-edge salons. And now, thanks to Clovers dynamic concept, he is continuing to update his knowledge and skills, inspired by his fellow stylists. Being with people is the most rewarding part of the job for Liam. While he loves all aspects of fashion, right out to its edgy extremes, hes a slave to his clients, not to trends. Finding whats right for each individual is his goal. Hes an expert in precision cutting, from classic to ... well, as far as you want to take it.
At his last salon, he was the lone pioneer in pursuit of less toxic hair products. Now, at Clover, hes in his element, surrounded by likeminded eco-hair stylists. Liam lives for good people, food, wine, film, travel, art, ideas, politics ... in short, for la dolce vita.

Michael Croteau - Makeup Artist
Michael began his makeup career way back in the 80's (when he was 12 ahem) while studying Theatre in University and worked for various theatre companies including the Calgary Opera Society, and on many a costume event. Adapting his knowledge of theatre makeup for fashion and the street he developed his own classic style. Upon moving to Vancouver he found himself wanting to refine his work so he chose to study at the Blanche Macdonald Center where he obtained his diploma in Makeup Artistry. He loves to work individually with clients to meet their specific beauty needs and does a great job of it.
He excels at bringing out natural beauty. He also, using vegetable dyes, takes unlucky lashes from drab to fab - seriously, the lash tinting is our favourite! Whether it's brunch with the in-laws or a divalicious night on the town, you can trust Michael to make your vision your reality.
