Q Hair Design — a long-running west Edmonton salon on Stony Plain Road since 1981

Q Hair has been cutting and colouring west Edmonton since Wendy Betts opened it in 1981 — more than four decades in one community. It occupies a New York-inspired warehouse space out on Stony Plain Road, pairing that long track record with a value-minded promise: strong looks without breaking the bank.

Services

The core hair menu covers colour, cutting, perms and extensions for the whole family. Alongside hair, Q runs a proper spa and esthetics side: manicures and pedicures, body and face waxing, facials and makeup application, so a visit can pull together several services in one stop rather than sending you across town.

Technology and brands

Q is a Matrix colour salon and stocks a considered brand list across hair, nails and makeup: Bumble and bumble and Kevin Murphy for styling and finishing, Neuma for clean-conscious care, Bodyography for makeup, OPI for nails and EnVogue for extensions. That spread lets the team cover a colour service, a manicure and a makeup application from professional lines under one roof.

Team and stylists

Founder Wendy Betts has assembled one of the harder-working service teams in the west end, built to last rather than churn. The stylists are positioned as skilled but unpretentious — the sort of long-tenured chair-side relationships that keep families coming back across years, with consultations for colour and extension work.

The Space

The salon’s home is a distinctive New York-style warehouse conversion on Stony Plain Road — high, open and characterful rather than a boxy strip-mall unit — with hair stations, a wash area and separate esthetics space. It is an easy west-end drive with straightforward parking, and stations are kept clean between clients.

Who it’s for

For west Edmonton families who want hair, nails and waxing in one long-established salon; for clients who value experience and value pricing together; and for anyone who prefers a characterful, independent room over a chain.
