Shake Hair Salon — a modern hair and brow studio inside West Edmonton Mall

Shake Hair Salon works out of the Phase III wing at West Edmonton Mall, a few steps from the sea lion habitat, and calls itself a modern, upbeat salon with a simple promise: the wow effect, all day long. Mall hours seven days a week make it easy to fit around shopping or a shift.

Services

The menu covers cutting for women and men, blow-dry styling, all-over colour, highlights and balayage, plus extensions fitted after a consultation. Alongside hair, the studio runs a full brow and waxing department: ombre powder brows with a scheduled touch-up, brow shaping and tinting, lash tinting, and facial waxing for brows, lip, chin and cheeks. Body waxing runs from bikini and Brazilian to back, arms and legs.

Technology and brands

Extensions and larger colour changes start with a consultation, so length, weight and tone are matched to your own hair before a long appointment is booked. Powder brows are planned as a two-stage service with the follow-up built in. A retail wall of professional haircare and hot tools, including the d:fi styling range, lets you rebuild the finish at home.

Team and stylists

Shake does not publish individual stylist biographies, and is straightforward about what it offers instead: a crew that stays current on cuts, colour and finishing techniques, with brow and waxing handled by trained technicians rather than squeezed between hair clients.

The Space

This is a mall salon in the best sense — open, bright and easy to find, with the aquarium and sea lion display as an unmistakable landmark. There is no buzzer or hidden entrance: you step in off the concourse, and the retail shelving doubles as the waiting area. Parking is the mall’s own, which makes January appointments painless.

Who it’s for

For west-end residents and shoppers who want hair, brows and waxing under one roof and outside office hours; for anyone who would rather not hunt for parking before a colour appointment; and for clients who want extensions or powder brows talked through before they commit.
