Shawna Lane: How A Cancer Diagnosis Changed Her Life

The Strands That Bind Us

The Strands That Bind Us –
Shawna Lane did not always dream of being a hairstylist, her first loves were photography and fashion which she pursued in college. In need of extra money in school she decided to get a receptionist position at a very hip and edgy salon downtown Toronto called Coupe Bizzarre. Almost immediately she knew she had found her tribe and her new creative outlet.
After 10 years of haircutting magic and doing every creative and wild haircut you could imagine she craved a different environment and shifted her path, ending up working at the salon Matthew co-owned at the time.
Shawna has always been the most thoughtful and attentive hairstylist, sitting down with her clients chatting and listening to them to make sure she served their every need. However, her other love of health and nutrition was always put on the back burner, knowing maybe not all clients are looking for help in this are by their hairstylist. She had no idea then a shift was coming….
Two years after moving to a private studio with Matthew and their three friends, she helped start an advanced training academy called The Good Ones Academy. Shortly after that her life changed forever when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4b…. there is no stage 5…
From that moment, she knew immediately her life would never be the same.
