Bridgette Young

“To live my life with purpose, honesty, and integrity so that I can inspire others to grow and be the best they can possibly be. I live honestly and purposefully in all I do. Having high integrity and being honest are what I value the most. At work, giving my clients the best possible service using products I believe in, that are not harmful and toxic, in a space that is safe and comfortable. For my team, providing a comfortable, safe place to grow and develop their skills whilst being a positive and supportive team leader for them. At home, being an honest and positive person for my family and friends who I support and provide love and care for”

What gets you out of bed each day? I do love my sleep! However, the one thing that makes me jump out of bed is the sunrise on a beautiful day. I am practicing gratitude every day, and the simple things we witness daily can be so impactful on our lives. Seeing a client walking tall after her appointment is one of those small things that I witness daily. Makes me so greatly appreciate the roll I play in their lives.

What is your favourite product?  I absolutely love the whole Organic Colour Systems range and it can be quite difficult to pick one favourite product, however I do love the Aqua Boost Leave in Conditioner. I use this on almost every client I see. It makes the hair easy to comb and softens the hair so its manageable. It also works on all hair types.

What inspires you in your career?  Hairdressing is all I have ever known as a “job”. Starting the business in 2013 was a milestone for me to open a salon where the clients loved to come to where they feel valued and where they receive the best service and care we could possibly offer. I still love creating with hair as my canvas.

The products we use have opened so many doors for us as stylists. Opening the conversation with clients to use a healthier alternative to chemical colour. I have found my interest in health and wellbeing has grown tremendously in the past few years. This interest has extended way beyond just doing hair and using a more natural alternative. I have had my eyes opened to the green washing that happens in the hairdressing industry as well as what we are exposed to daily with cosmetics and in the beauty industry. I love finding like minded people who have the same values as me, caring for themselves and their family and helping them to choose the right products with the least amount of chemicals.

Sarah James

Sarah joined Off the Fringe in March 2019 and has immersed herself in the team and has made an incredible impression on her clients.  Sarah has 20 + years of experience in the hairdressing world starting out in South Africa when she finished school. Hairdressing wasn’t her first choice for a career, she wanted to save the wolves in Canada! So, we know she has a huge passion for animals and their welfare. This is one of the reasons she joined Off the Fringe, to make a difference. Hairdressing came in a close second as a career choice, if she couldn’t save the wolves she would save peoples hair!

What do you love doing? I love to make people feel good about themselves while there is no harm done to animals in the process while providing a more environmentally friendly option. 

Why do you love Off The Fringe? I love Off The Fringe because I have the opportunity to try new products and go back to the way that hair is supposed to be looked after. Plus I love the great team I get to work with. 

What do you like to do outside of work? In my free time I love being with my family. My husband, 2 children and pets (1 dog and 1 cat which I brought with me from South Africa). I love to read, scuba dive and crochet. I also manage my daughter’s hockey team or I’m on the sidelines cheering her on. 

Sarah has a wicked sense of humour and has been known to start dancing when a good song comes on! She loves to have fun with her clients and is definitely not “Serious Sally”, only when it comes to discussing your hair and what you would like to achieve, she all business!
