Salt. - Hinton, Alberta

I came all the way from Montreal to get my hair done by my daughter’s hairstylist Frode and it did NOT disappoint! I was served a lovely tea, got a massage, the best hair wash ever and a beautiful haircut! 5 stars experience and the best by far, thank you Frode for your kindness and beautiful spirit!

Hidden gem alert: If you’re in Hinton and haven’t experienced Kailey’s magic at Salt, you’re seriously missing out. I walked into her treatment room—a cozy little sanctuary at the back of Salt that feels like stepping into another world—and immediately felt like I’d entered a 5-star resort. Dim salt lamp lighting, a fuzzy blanket, tea with a crystal… Kailey sets the vibe and delivers the goods.

I came to her feeling completely defeated about my skin. Thanks to some recent life trauma, my face decided to time-travel back to my teenage years with the worst breakouts ever. Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’d heard great things about Kailey, so I booked a chemical peel (because years ago, one worked wonders for me) and crossed my fingers. Let me tell you, she absolutely over-delivered.

The entire experience was next level—relaxing, grounding, and deeply intentional. She’s so knowledgeable about skin and post-treatment care that I walked out not only glowing but armed with a plan to get my skin back on track. Two peels and a few weeks later, my breakouts are practically gone, and even my stubborn 11 lines? Vanished. I’m convinced Kailey is some kind of skincare wizard.

If you’re in Hinton, run—don’t walk—to book with her. She’s a total gem in this little mountain town!

I’ve never had an experience at a hair salon like I had at Salt.; I’ve never felt so welcome, respected, and relaxed.
After 4 and a half months spent in Manitoba without dyeing my hair (for multiple reasons including budgeting and not being able to find a salon I felt confident in) I moved to Jasper for seasonal work and booked an appointment with Salt. My roots were grown out, my hair was faded and dry, and I was overall itching to get it redone.
What I didn’t expect when I booked with Salt was to receive a holistic experience that not only tended to my hair, but my heart and soul as well.
Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted by Frode, the owner. She made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. She made me tea that is made locally and is very comforting, she gave me not one but two really lovely and relaxing scalp massages, and instead of having magazines laying around that promote unrealistic body ideals, she brought me a few sweet and gentle poetry books to read while I let the dye sit.
The conversations I shared with Frode felt real and meaningful, and it’s easy to see how much her her business means to her; she really values her clients and she really knows what she’s doing when it comes to hair. She was fully transparent when it came to my hair, she explained things really well and we ended up deciding to change the colour of my hair slightly to compliment me more. I left the salon saying I have never loved my hair more. To top it all off, I found the price very good given how happy I was with my hair and the overall experience.
As someone who was living in Jasper and is now an evacuee two provinces away, I am so sad I am unable to have another appointment at Salt for the time being. The prospect of finding another salon feels like a chore, since the chances of having a similar experience to what I had at Salt are not likely. I really can’t wait to return to Salt and feel so pampered again.

Such a loving and welcoming experience every time I go! I seriously look forward to making hair appointments just so I can have the princess treatment they offer. Tried out many salons before finding one I love, Salt salon is where it’s at!!

Exceptional service, skill, and professionalism at this (more than just a) salon. In fact, I do not have a word strong enough to do my 2 visits here justice!

Beyond wow. Beyond lovely. Beyond amazing.

Frode & crew have established a space that you simply do not want to leave. Priced very reasonably and worth EVERY penny.

Frode works some special magic behind the chair. It is a mind-body-soul kind of treat. Simply put, you must experience it for yourself 🩷

Thank you Salt and can’t wait to go back!

I had the pleasure of having my hair cut and coloured by Frode. The salon is modern, comfortable, and inspires confidence and beauty. The welcoming ritual was new and intriguing, bringing an intentional focus to the experience. My complimentary latte was hot and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed Frode’s professional, approachable demeanour and high quality service. Her passion for her craft, business, and line of hair products is quite evident. I walked away loving my hair and feeling like I had just caught up with an old friend. Thank you, Frode. Until next time! 💜

My experience at Salt. Was absolutely wonderful from start to finish…Frode began my appointment with a “welcome ritual” it allowed me to relax and unwind and really enjoy my appointment. Frode nailed the hair colour I was after and I’ve literally never had a better haircut! Her precision, experience and attention to detail really shines through in my cut!
The hair washing area was superb…the product line she used on my hair left it shiny and silky, and the hot towel during the hair mask made me feel like I was at a high end spa. The sinks and chairs (at most salons) are typically uncomfortable and hurt my neck— well not at Salt. This was the first time in years my neck was not strained during the wash!
The ambiance was very sleek, modern and stylish— I will be back! It’s so great to see such wonderful business pop up in our community!

Just visted Salt salon on the off chance of getting a wash and blow dry after being taken sick whilst on vacation from the UK and treated at nearby Hinton hospital.
I was blown away by the sheer act of kindness by the salon owner to a) squeeze me in with no notice and b) offer the treatment complimentary after hearing my woeful story.
Inside the salon you will find yourself in a beautiful tranquil setting. This coupled with the amazing client care, is everything a girl needs to feel fabulous again!
Thank you Salt ❤️
