Our Philosophy

The Current was founded with our specialized TOSS philosophy in mind. 

TOSS is a team of specialized stylists who work smarter not harder by hiring and training apprentices.

The hair salon industry can be impersonal. We wanted the Current to be a place where you feel seen and heard. 

To make this vision a reality we created our team differently. Instead of the traditional model of one stylist per client, we train our stylists to collaborate and communicate.

The result is an entire team that is able to connect seamlessly with every client.

No matter what day or time, our clients receive personalized service by stylists that understand each client's preferences, history, and unique ideas. 

As a client, you enjoy more access to services and stylists with in-depth understanding of what you want in a cut or colour.

Our clients particularly love our emphasis on a modern, current, and upbeat experience.

Michelle Knudsen

Salon Owner, Level 4
@staycurrentwithmichelle

My love for hair began at five, braiding my sisters hair and being inspired by my mother. By 16, I had turned my closet into a mini salon. After high school, I trained in Calgary, later becoming a Bumble and Bumble educator and top salon sales leader for five years.

Driven by a vision for a collaborative, education-focused salon, I launched my own studio in 2014 and expanded to a full-service salon and academy in downtown Prince George in 2019.

At The Current, a Davines Concept Salon, we prioritize sustainability, high-performance products, and expert education. My mission is to elevate hairdressing in the North—empowering stylists, mentoring apprentices, and helping every client feel their best.

Superpowers:

I have a keen eye for challenging transformations and I specialize in colour corrections, grey blending, and technical cuts. I am passionate about the collaboration with the goal of making sure our clients feel heard and understood. I am always up for a challenge including working with very thick density and curly hair. I also love creating stylish, long men's haircuts.

Shemaine

Level 4 Master Barber
@lakeserpentbarber

I am confident in providing a variety of haircuts, including fades, tapers, long hair, and I can work with diverse hair texture. I attribute my success to my attention to detail, part of which I learned from my apprenticeship under a second-gen barber with 30+ years of experience. I also had the opportunity to take my talents abroad, with a stint in Australia and owned my own mobile barbershop in Kelowna.

@coloursbychristina

I love to challenge myself and never stay satisfied. It's important for me to always be growing and learning in both my professional and personal life. This is why I love colour transformations, they are always evolving! 

When I am not at work I enjoy spending my time outside exploring the forest by either hiking, dirt biking, or snowmobiling. The outdoors feel most like home for a girl who grew up in the country.

Superpowers:

I have a diverse skill set with a passion for creating dramatic makeovers and I’m up for anything! From flawless fades to transformative hairstyles, I got you!
