The focus is on you
Sublime Hair Studio is built on the idea that every client deserves a style that is the outcome of creativity and originality. Tucked in amongst the restaurants, shops and small businesses that line Ottawa's buzzing Elgin Street, Sublime is a small, private space that offers a warm welcome, attentive service and unparalleled expertise.
Open for over two decades, Sublime has been executing modern and sophisticated styles, transcending trends that Sonia and her team have consistently adapted to. Through the years, trust has remained at the centre of the client experience. Whether it's the product, cut, colour or conversation, clients leave knowing their needs were the focus of every appointment.
Nous parlons français.
The welcoming committee
Not everyone on the team holds scissors.
Charlotte
Miniature golden doodle · Dec 2013 – Feb 2026
Upon entering Sublime, you'll be greeted by a friendly bark and tail wag from Charlotte, a miniature golden doodle. Charlotte loves to spend her time between her shampoo chair and a vintage hair dryer near her Momma, Sonia.
Although Charlotte keeps to herself while the team is busy at work, you may notice her beautiful big brown eyes catching yours, along with the odd plea for a smooch or a pet as you pass her. Offer her a treat and she'll love you forever.
For those who aren't really dog friendly, she may just win you over. With her golden locks and calm demeanour, Charlotte brings a smile to nearly every client — even if you aren't much of a dog person, you may just become a "Charlotte person" by the time you pet her on your way out the door.
Bijou
Miniature poodle · Charlotte's little brother
Upon entering Sublime, you'll be greeted by a cheerful bark and a wagging tail from Bijou, our miniature poodle and beloved salon dog. Charlotte's younger brother, he is inquisitive, calm and charming, and his gentle personality wins over every guest who walks through our door.
You'll often find him lounging by the window, keeping a watchful eye on the neighbourhood, or admiring your new style from a distance while he waits to welcome the next client.
Outside of the salon, Bijou enjoys strolls across the E.B. Eddy Bridge to Aylmer, exploring the Glebe, and sampling new treat combinations.
