Cindy has been doing hair since she was 18 and never looked back. Her career took her from a small northern town to training internationally in Scotland with Tony & Guy, Manhattan with Bumble and bumble, and a formative year in Montreal. She built her craft on instinct, experience, and an unapologetic love for great hair.In 1999, she opened Cowboys & Angels not just a salon, but a space people feel pulled into. Known for its energy, inclusivity, and edge, it’s become a place where individuality isn’t just accepted it’s expected. Her work has spanned television, stage, and runway, but behind the chair is where it matters most. No ego, no rules, just transformation, connection, and really good hair. Decades in, Cindy still loves what she does. And if you know, you know.

I go by many names, painter, handyman, comic releif, colourful but you can call me Tay or Taylor. The Proud Misfit of Cowboys & Angels for over a decade. Spent my years developing skills and honing a craft I am proud of. Not one thing is my favourite but give me a scene, emo mullet revolution and I'm your person. Colours, bright and natural, even something of your own creation. If you like a little comedy and a little chaos with your hair service, calll me. Can't wait to meet you and welcome you to the land of misfit toys.
