Leila Mollapour is so passionate about her profession as a hairstylist and salon manager that she commutes two hours a day to Dunbar by bus and train. She says, “I love Dunbar people and the neighbourhood. I wouldn’t work anywhere else.” She worked at Dunbar’s Great Clips for nine years before it closed due to the block being redeveloped. The owner chose to reopen in a new storefront in July 2019 and named the hair salon Stylish Cut. The dedicated employees came along, as they are a united team and enjoy working together. In turn, their loyal client base followed them. As we all know, when you find a good stylist you will travel any distance to keep them. Having your hair cut or coloured defines your look, therefore, you need to find a stylist you trust. 26
Leila enjoys the balance of cutting hair and managing the paperwork. Several years ago she took a management course and learnt how to train her co-workers on a new software program. She says, “I am always here to help the staff. I have built wonderful relationships with this great group of people.” Leila and the four other stylists also have a close relationship with the salon’s owner.
“It’s a family location. Some clients have grown up here,” says Leila. Stylish Cut continues to provide very affordable haircuts. The salon recently added hair colouring to its services, which also includes perms and highlights.
