When looking for a place to setup Salon Social we were looking for a community that we could grow in and become a vital part of its culture. We wanted the neighbourhood to be a fun, lively place that our clients could feel comfortable. We fell in love with Bonnie Doon!

Our Team
KATIE GRASDAL
Never in a million years would I have thought I would own a salon. It has been one of my greatest adventures. Education is one of the reasons I love this job. It is ever changing and always keeps me on my toes. I have spent over 10 years traveling north America and even Europe, as an educator and as the student. Working on photo shoots pushes my creativity and keeps me engaged with the every changing trends. In the salon I love working on color, color corrections, barbering, up styling, and some may call me a foil wizard. Lots of foils, a few foils, Balayage you name it. Now owning a salon, I enjoy being home and building this amazing place we call Salon Social. It is my hope every client that walks through our door feels like they are home. We work hard to create a culture that feels warm and friendly. The pride I feel in our growing team is unexplainable. We have come so far since 2018. Growing into the skincare industry has been so interesting. Adding Micro-Current to the list of serves is super exciting. Stay tuned, we are always growing and always working at bringing you the best parts of this industry. I can’t wait for you to come in and see us! See you soon.
Cheers
SIMONE
I specialize in customized color, including balayage, dimensional blonding, corrective work, and creative tones. My approach blends technical precision with a relaxed, personalized experience so you leave feeling confident and cared for.
With over 23 years behind the chair, I continue to invest in advanced education and evolving techniques to provide modern, wearable results tailored to each guest.
I currently welcome a range of hair textures from 2A–3A, and I am committed to ongoing training to expand my expertise with tighter curl patterns. My long-term goal is to confidently serve every guest who chooses my chair.
Booking Philosophy
Appointments are reserved according to the time needed rather than individual techniques. This ensures space for consultation, careful application, and an unrushed finish.
If you’re unsure what to select, book your closest estimate and we’ll finalize the plan together when you arrive 🤍

Hi, I am Mabel. Don’t be upset if I completely ignore you when you come in. I see a lot of people in a day, Which I secretly love but I like to play hard to get. I will probably just be sleeping or chewing my bone. I love it when kids come in or if your jacket smells like other dogs and treats. Just a heads up, hang up our purse. I do like to see if there is anything in there for me. Can’t wait to see you all soon!
