NICHE wanted to do something fun and unexpected for this special Inspiration issue. This is our first annual Hair Reinvented. We chose six exceptional hair salons, gave each of them a one-of-a-kind hat from three of B.C.’s cutting-edge milliners, and challenged each talented stylist team to build a unique hair creation, using the hat as inspiration. No wardrobe, no props —just hats and hair. Here are their hair stories…
