Our Team
Steff Wick
Owner & Stylist
Steff (she/her) is a Montreal-based hairstylist with a passion for precision cutting, transformative colour, and helping people feel at home in her chair. With a Taurus sun and moon, she’s all about cozy vibes, calm energy, and intentional beauty—whether that means embracing bold new looks or enhancing what’s naturally there.
After spending seven years in Ottawa developing her craft, Steff returned to her hometown of Montreal and opened StudioWick in 2023. She’s all about creating a safe, inclusive space where real connection and self-expression can thrive.
Outside the salon, you’ll usually find her gaming, knitting, colouring, or hanging with her two one-eyed cats.
Ashika Malla
A Soft Escape
Born and raised in Montréal, she’s someone who finds peace in everyday rituals — whether that’s walking the canal with her husband or spending time in nature to reset and recharge.
She recently teamed up with Steff to introduce A Soft Escape — a new service that’s all about slowing down, feeling good, and taking a break from the noise. It’s designed to help you unwind and reconnect in a way that feels easy, gentle, and grounding.
Ash cares deeply about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and taken care of. Her hope is that you leave feeling just a little lighter than when you came in.
