About Us

We are so excited that you found our store and want to know more about us!

Affinity Hair Salon is owned by a talented stylist and educator, Candice Banda. Candice opened Affinity in 2005 along with her mom. They were a dynamic hairstylist team until her mom retired in 2023 and Candice continued to champion their successful business. Candice is very passionate about the hairstyling and professional beauty industry and has dedicated her career to the industry.  She won't admit how long she has been in the industry but will say that she has several guest families that have spanned generations.    

With Candice's experience she has witnessed many changes in the industry.  One major change she noted was her guests asking about ingredients in the products that she used.  As a result, in 2009 Candice started to focus on using healthier products in the salon.  

Candice believes that stylists and guests deserve high quality, professional hair and makeup products that have healthier ingredients.  

This move towards healthier products led Candice to SST Cosmetics and Surface Hair.  Using products that are gentler on our skin, better for our lungs, and also better for the environment became a central focus for Affinity.

Affinity has been recognized as a Platinum or Gold Business by their distributor 8 times.  Additionally, Affinity is very proud to be a top ten Surface salon in Canada for the past 7 years. These are exciting accomplishments given that Affinity is a small family owned salon. 

Our goal with the online store is to bring our favorite salon products to you and your home.  We know that you will love them as much as we do.

Thank you for making our small business an online success!  We are happy to have you as our virtual guest.
