Chrome Spa Salon Celebrates 25 Years of Beauty, Education and Innovation in Edmonton

Established in 2001 — Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

In 2026, Chrome Spa Salon proudly celebrates 25 years of serving Edmonton. Established in 2001, Chrome has become one of the city’s most recognized destinations for advanced hair colour, healthy hair treatments, keratin services, and exceptional guest experiences.

Founded by William Halabi, Chrome Spa Salon represents much more than a hair salon. It is the culmination of passion, education, creativity, and a deep commitment to both the beauty industry and the community that has shaped it.

A Downtown Edmonton Story

Chrome Spa Salon was the fourth salon designed and created by William Halabi. Since then, he has gone on to develop and open five salons throughout Edmonton, with a sixth concept planned for the fall of 2026.

Born and raised in downtown Edmonton, William is the son of Lebanese immigrants and attended school downtown from kindergarten through grade five. He has spent most of his life living and working in the heart of the city.

Today, the historic Oliver neighbourhood—now officially known as Wîhkwêntôwin—continues to be home to the community that William loves and has supported throughout his career.

“The beauty of the river valley, the warmth of the people, the progressive spirit, the walkability, and the incredible park system all made this area the perfect place to build my life and career.”

For more than three decades, William has remained deeply connected to the downtown community and has witnessed the incredible transformation and growth of Edmonton firsthand.


More Than 33 Years Behind the Chair

With over 33 years behind the chair, William Halabi has dedicated his life to mastering the craft of hairdressing.

Education has always been at the heart of his career.

His advanced training includes:

  • Bumble and bumble University in New York.
  • Sebastian Academy.
  • Wella education.
  • Schwarzkopf Professional education.
  • Brocato.
  • Goldwell.
  • Multiple advanced cutting and colouring systems.
  • More than 22 completed professional colour brand certifications and advanced programs.

Despite decades in the industry, William continues to pursue education and invests heavily in the growth and development of his team.

Because at Chrome Spa Salon, education is never finished.

“Our Industry Deserves More”

As William recently shared:

“I built this salon because of my passion for the industry and my desire to create a better system that allows professionals to earn their maximum potential while working with like-minded people who want to elevate cosmetology. We want to improve the industry, try new techniques, explore new products, and continue learning. This system isn’t for everyone, but for those who want more—and for those who believe structure, mentorship, and growth matter—this is home.”

That philosophy has become part of the DNA of Chrome Spa Salon.


Service Above All

Throughout its 25-year history, Chrome Spa Salon has remained committed to one principle:

Service Above All.

Exceptional service is not just a slogan.

It is the culture.

Our team-based approach ensures that every guest receives personalized care and support throughout their visit. From consultation to finishing touches, our goal is simple:

To meet and exceed expectations.

Whether it is your first visit or your hundredth, every member of the Chrome team is committed to making your experience comfortable, welcoming, and memorable.


Mentoring Future Leaders

One of Chrome Spa Salon’s greatest achievements has been developing the next generation of professionals.

We believe mentorship is one of the highest responsibilities in our profession.

No matter how experienced a stylist or technician may be, everyone has something valuable to teach.

For 25 years, Chrome has welcomed:

  • Apprentices.
  • Work experience students.
  • Shadow technicians.
  • Emerging stylists.
  • Future industry leaders.

Because when knowledge is shared, the entire beauty industry grows stronger.


Edmonton’s Top Colour Salon

At Chrome Spa Salon, colour is our passion.

Many salons rely on one colour line. We believe that creativity and customization require more options.

Just like a carpenter uses multiple tools, colourists benefit from having multiple systems available.

That is why Chrome utilizes several professional colour systems and supporting lines to achieve the perfect result for every guest.

This allows us to customize:

  • Grey coverage.
  • Blonde transformations.
  • Balayage and foilyage.
  • Highlights.
  • Colour corrections.
  • Glossing services.
  • Fashion colours.
  • Dimensional brunettes.
  • Precision toning.

No two heads of hair are the same.

And no two formulas should be either.


Healthy Hair Is the Most Beautiful Hair

At Chrome Spa Salon, we believe:

Healthy Hair Is the Most Beautiful Hair.

This philosophy is non-negotiable.

No matter what service we perform, our mission is simple:

Your hair should leave looking healthier, shinier, stronger, and more beautiful than when you walked in.

No questions asked.

Beautiful colour means very little without healthy hair.

That is why we have assembled a comprehensive treatment menu designed to address virtually every challenge:

  • Breakage.
  • Dryness.
  • Frizz.
  • Texture concerns.
  • Damage from chemical services.
  • Loss of shine.
  • Elasticity issues.
  • Environmental stress.

Because healthy hair creates beautiful colour.

And beautiful hair creates confidence.


Edmonton’s Keratin and Nanoplasty Specialists

Chrome Spa Salon has become one of Edmonton’s premier destinations for:

  • Keratin treatments.
  • Hair Botox.
  • Nanoplasty services.
  • Smoothing treatments.
  • Frizz reduction.
  • Shine enhancement.
  • Hair restoration treatments.

Just as one colour line cannot do everything, one smoothing treatment cannot address every hair type.

That is why we offer multiple professional systems and customize each treatment according to:

  • Hair texture.
  • Curl pattern.
  • Density.
  • Porosity.
  • Lifestyle.
  • Desired results.

Every service is tailored specifically to the individual.

Because no two guests are alike.


Creating Memorable Guest Experiences

Over the years, Chrome Spa Salon has become known for creating experiences that go beyond hair.

Guests enjoy thoughtful touches that make every appointment feel special.

From:

  • Hot essential oil towels.
  • Refreshing cold towels.
  • Seasonal beverages.
  • Premium coffee and tea.
  • Italian sodas.
  • House treats.
  • Relaxing atmosphere.
  • Beautiful plants and natural surroundings.

Chrome strives to make every visit feel like a retreat.

In fact, many guests jokingly say:

“Chrome has the best coffee anywhere downtown.”

We’ll gladly accept that compliment.


Innovation Through The Years

Throughout North America, salons have evolved dramatically over the last 25 years.

Chrome Spa Salon has always embraced innovation while remaining true to timeless principles.

From cutting techniques and advanced colour methods to guest experiences and professional development, Chrome has consistently pushed boundaries and explored better ways to serve both clients and beauty professionals.

The future sixth salon concept planned for 2026 represents that same spirit of innovation—a labour of love born out of necessity and a desire to continue elevating the profession.

Because after 33 years behind the chair, William Halabi’s passion for hairdressing remains stronger than ever.

We are honoured to continue serving Edmonton and look forward to the next chapter.

Because at Chrome Spa Salon, hair is more than a service.

It is our passion.

And after 25 years—

We’re just getting started.
