If you walk by the Plaza St-Hubert salon Two Horses on a Monday, the shop front may look slightly different. The blinds are drawn, the doors are locked, and inside, the room is filled only with women. Some wear hijabs, niqabs or burqas, others don’t, but what they share is a salon space where privacy, safety, and care exist without compromise.
“Everyone has hair, and everyone deserves a beautiful and safe salon experience,” says owner and hairstylist Izzy Mulder, who’s been doing hair for 22 years. “For us, it’s simple. It’s about women and creating a space where people can come in, be themselves, and leave feeling a little better than when they arrived.”
Mulder co-founded Two Horses in 2013 with tattoo artist Jessie Preston. The pair met after years of bouncing between industries they both felt disillusioned by. “There was so much toxicity in salons,” Mulder recalls. “They weren’t inclusive. People were priced out. Accessibility wasn’t a thing. And I just didn’t understand why the industry ran the way it did.”
