Hello, beautiful!

I’m Laura, an independent Hairstylist and co-founder of Gloss Haus Hair Studio, an award winning salon based in the heart of Whitby, Ontario. 

I specialize in advanced balayage techniques, custom blondes and brunettes, colour transformations, and modern haircutting for all hair lengths. With nearly a decade of experience, my goal is to deliver the best hair you have ever had – and a service experience to match.

Every appointment is a one-on-one visit where you can relax, feel valued, and trust in my expertise to deliver consistent, beautiful results. I take pride in creating a warm, personalized atmosphere where you feel appreciated and at-ease from start to finish.

I can’t wait to meet you!

“Laura is amazing. She is friendly, positive, and made me feel so comfortable. She genuinely loves what she does and her talent shows through her art (and her amazing smile!). She took her time, didn’t double book and made me feel like it was all about me in those few hours. The outcome looks gorgeous, with a perfect blend of color, and another amazing cut. I highly recommend!”

  • “Laura was lovely from the moment I walked into the salon! She took the time to do a comprehensive consultation and made sure I was happy with the plan before starting my service, assuring me that we could make adjustments at the end if I wanted. The wash was such a highlight- the products used were clearly high quality and left my hair feeling and smelling so good! I cannot wait for my next cut with Laura! So knowledgeable and a ray of sunshine to speak to! Thank you for a 10/10 treatment!”

  • “Loving my hair from the amazing @laurabairdhairstylist. I've been on the hunt for a great balayage/ blonde highlights artist in Whitby going on for two years now. Because my hair is so stubborn, I end up spending most of my day at the salon so it's essential for me that I get along with my stylist, have fun, and feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I got lucky and got all of this plus more. @laurabairdhairstylist made sure I got the style that I want (blonde highlights to frame the face, curtain bangs and many, many layers) and I felt cared for and spoiled the whole day! 10/10 would recommend, hands down best salon in Whitby”

  • “Laura is truly passionate about what she does and she cares about what her clients wants/needs are. I was extremely pleased to find that Laura not only took the time to listen to what I wanted but also explain realistically what was doable. She was on time, professional, and super friendly. I could not recommend Laura enough!”

  • “I have nothing but the most amazing things to say about Laura. She is a magician and truly transformed my hair from something I was really unhappy with to a cut and colour that I love. The salon atmosphere is super welcoming, accessible and easy going and best of all, she gives the world’s best head massages. I am so happy to have found Laura and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone”

  • “I've been working with Laura for almost a year. I initially went in for a consultation and she understood exactly what I wanted with my hair. When I returned back for my first appointment, she transformed my hair and I was very happy with the results. She is very talented, has a great personality, and makes me feel amazing after each visit. I love the quality of the products she uses as well. Highly recommend Laura Baird Hairstylist to anyone looking to have great hair experience.”

  • “Laura is the blonde colouring/highlights QUEEN. I went to see her for the first time for a full head of highlights in August and she did a fantastic job. Lightened my hair beautifully but still looks natural. I’m going back to see her again next week for further highlights and can’t wait. Would recommend 1000%!”

    — Tiffany

  • “I’ve been going to Laura for a couple years now and she has been a breath of fresh air! Before coming here, I’ve been to countless salons trying to find comfort and attentiveness but have been falling short. Laura always makes me feel comfortable, she’s always open to discussing my hair wants (and actually listens) and, she’s informative on what’s feasible or realistic. I always look forward to my appointments because it feels like I’m gonna go hang out with a friend while she does my hair!”

    — Joelle

  • “Laura is the most incredible stylist that I have ever been to! When I came to Laura, my hair was in rough shape, and needed A LOT of work. I was very nervous, as I had tried a few different stylists and had some bad experiences. But, Laura possesses an incredibly in-depth knowledge of colour and colour correction, and she was the first stylist to take the time to explain to me what my options were, and what the end results of each option would look like. During my appointment, she was incredibly patient, and really took her time to ensure that the end result would be ideal. I would recommend her to anybody!”

    — Natasha

  • “Absolutely thrilled with my balayage from Laura! They perfectly blended colors and created a natural, sun-kissed look that I’ve always wanted. The precision and attention to detail were outstanding. The whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable, especially chatting with Laura. Highly recommend Laura for anyone looking to enhance their style with expert balayage work!”
