ABOUT

“Fair Main” : my two favourite french words.

Faire - to do; to make

Main(s) - hands

(A little ode to it's first official home. Montreal, je t'aime.)

Loving hands (faces too) have a much longer story - forever. I was playing with all polishes since I found Wet 'n' Wild & totted my bottles to play dates, parties, recess. Dotted daisies were my first design.

I started "side hustling" makeup & manis in high school (before I knew what a "side hustle" was). Mostly for drama class performances and then pals for parties and proms - but then I absolutely did NOT want to be doing them full time, for work.

Now, it's the dream come true. So, really, thank you.

**this blue ^ "Blueberry" is the first ever Bioseaweed Gel bottle in my collection - a fave, still!

Lashes were the first face to be added and we've since grown to include brows, gem'd smiles, cosmetic tattooing, and now, exploring out of the studio barbering.

Quick story: In 2016, after a 'big breakup', I booked my first Lash Tint&Lift to have a "woke up like this" for "getting back out there"...

My 6-8 week rotation became my next serious commitment, and it's been longest since... I have NO hesitation introducing everyone to what keeps me feeling so good, every day.

All to say, I love all the services - but if you ask me - Lash tint & lift is worth a try and so sorry (not sorry..) that you MIGHT commit to the rotation.

INK moved in March 27, 2021 and we celebrate "INK DAY" annually - INK inspired mani requests encouraged, always, but especially INK DAY (..week)

He is here, chatting, dancing, hooting and loving hands like I do. He loves your visits. (So, if you do, mostly for him... I cannot blame you.)

We look forward to having you, holding hands,

lashes & brows - I am trained & certified @ the Canadian Beauty College, 2019. lip blushing - I am trained & certified in lip blushing @ Art Touch Training, 2022. tooth gems & tooth whitening - I am trained & certified through MobGemz Dental Training, 2022

and HANDS ...the six-year-old girl who matched her nails to outfits daily and brought bottles of polish to every party for my pals - (me), would be proud of how far self-taught nail-art has gotten.

barbering, a bit of background.

2024 began my barbering apprenticeship at The Nite Owl.

Training with the ultimate expert & best mentor - Brian, and the whole talented team.

As well as being educated in a classical 5 step barbering technique - I spent time gawking - aka. 'educationally observing' them all each day.

Bringing new services to Fair Main has been an ongoing priority. I cannot help it -when something new bats it's (tinted & lifted) lashes, I have trouble not winking back.

Barbering (hair, generally) has been on the list since the very beginning. The TRUE start of all this takes a lot of credit from a friend (and mentor) in Montreal, Angelina, where I first spent real time with a real hair pro, watching and learning (to love) hair (especially shorter shapes... see for reference what happens to my own when new shiny scissors land in them).
