Francisca initially pursued International Business Management, but her passion for fashion, particularly costume design, led her to explore a more creative and fulfilling career. After realizing a desk job wasn’t for her, she enrolled at the Aveda Institute in Toronto in 2016.

While completing her education, Francisca began working at Civello Salons and later NC Salons, where she developed invaluable skills as a hairstylist, particularly as a colourist. With her expertise as a stylist and her background in business, she opened her own salon in 2021.
At the end of 2024, Francisca decided to refocus on her passion behind the chair and creating beautiful hair at NOOK salon.

Outside of the salon, Francisca enjoys an active lifestyle, often hiking, biking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, or spending time with her family and her corgi, Sesame. She also loves road trips, traveling, yoga, and exploring new food eats.
