Debra

Owner/Operator

Debra MacIntyre

Debra started her company in 1999 but Absolutely Fabulous ( the salon and boutique concept ) did not evolve until just a few years ago in 2006. She brings a strong business background to the team and a vision of a professional but homey atmosphere in her salon - a place where everyone is your friend...

"You are only as old as your hair."

Heather

General Manager

Heather Panton has been with us since AbFab beginning days on Victoria Row!

She is our general manager and responsible for the chic, unique and affordable fashions at Absolutely Fabulous.

She is also the certified LCN Gel Nail Technician.

Melissa

Salon Manager

Esthetician

Melissa Ostridge is a graduate of the Institute of Jon Raymond and has been working in the esthetics field since 2003, but has been in the beauty industry since 1998. She is also certified in gel nail application, Shellac application, relaxation massage, brazilian waxing, and Misencil (TM) Eyelash Extensions.

"Beauty is skin deep."

Tracey

Senior Master Stylist

Tracey McGuigan is another of our Master Stylists with five or sixmore years experience. She graduated from her studies in 2004 and has worked both on the Island and in Alberta. Tracey's area of interest is the short cut (she's amazing!) but she does fab hi lights and colors as well.

Tracey welcomes back her former clients and new ones too!

Erin

Senior Master Stylist

Erin Robinson has been a hair stylist since 2004, and worked in salons in British Columbia, Alberta and P.E.I. She brings the "funk" to Absolutely Fabulous so if you want a "wild and wonderful" look, she is your stylist! Erin is equally comfortable with the traditional and loves to spend time chatting with her clients to ascertain she has a complete grasp of their requirements and wishes.

"Confidence is key."

Amy

Senior Master Stylist

Amy (Austin) Johnston travelled from over the water to join our team at Ab Fab. Prior to her move, she worked in a prestigious salon in her hometown of Fredericton, N.B. Amy likes to pamper her clients so look forward to an awesome head massage during your shampoo and you can always request a Seah Head Massage Treatment in her chair.

Amy brings fun with style to the salon. Be sure to say hello to Mr Peanut II, her pet fighting fish who lives at her station.

"Beauty is being in harmony with what you are." - Peter Nivio Zarlenga

Master Stylist

Erin Gillespie has returned to PEI to join the hair styling staff here at Absolutely Fabulous. The last time Erin lived here was as a photography student at Holland College - and then she married an Island lad - so Cape Breton's loss is our gain!

Erin was in the national news recently as the instigator in encouraging salons to send  hair clippings to aid in the clean up of the Gulf oil spill. In her spare time, she is a professional photographer specializing in vintage pin up,  rides a motorcycle,  loves animals, and above all is a SUPER stylist!

"A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

Junior Stylist

Brett Reynolds is another member of the Ab Fab team who originally hails from down east ( Lower Montague). She graduated from the Private Institute of Hair Design & Esthetics in 2010. Brett is an upbeat enthusiastic gal who is looking forward to her career in hair styling. With her special love of color she will be a positive asset to the salon.

Receptionist

Aleshia Farrell is the gorgeous gal who answers the phone, books appointments, and keeps the salon running smoothly. She works not only behind out desk but as a model as well!

We welcome her as a great addition to the Ab Fab team.

Sharon

Senior Master Stylist ( on Leave)

Sharon (Fletcher) Keller is a Senior Master Stylist, and has been with the Salon portion  of Absolutely Fabulous since its inception. Sharon brings with her a dramatic flair from her many years in the theatre world as a stage manager and wig mistress. She is also an educator for Schwartzkopf Professional.

Sharon will be on maternity leave until 2011.
