Jean Cameron, the owner of the funkiest salon in town, has long been known as ‘the Colour Witch’ as she mixes her creams and dyes to create the perfect shade for you.

Longing to escape the dreary weather of the Cumberland, Vancouver Island, BC, Jean knew she could transfer her twenty plus years of hair styling expertise to the sunny shores of Vallarta, and that is just what she did.

Jean packed up her salon, grabbed her four Chihuahuas and crossed into Mexico on October 17, 2017, determined to call Puerto Vallarta home for the rest of her life. She set about to recreate a new version of her award-winning salon and opened in December that year.

Inside the salon, you’ll have to pick your chin up off the floor as you take it all in. Filled to overflowing with colourful knick knacks, sparkly balls, a mannequin leg sticking out from the wall, a Canada Post box to hold her towels, a wall of delicately hand drawn calligraphy and so, so much more, the space will keep you entertained for hours. It is a veritable feast for the senses, and a perfect compliment to Jean’s colourful personality and style.

Managed by the sweetest mini-chi, Pearl, Jean provides hairstyling and barbering services, but her calling is as a colourist – or a ‘colour witch’ as her best clients lovingly call her.

You’ll also find manicure/pedicure/nail artist extraordinaire Laura, and shop assistant/shampoo goddess/the person really in charge of things, Tamara, at The Witchery Salon.

Whether you’re looking for something outrageous or sophisticated, or both, Jean and her team have the perfect spell to ensure you walk out of ‘The Witchery’ looking your best! Open year-round; Jean welcomes visitors and residents to book an appointment.

The Witchery is located in 5 de Diciembre neighbourhood, across the street from the popular Cap’t Don’s pub, next door to Puerto Vallarta’s best taco stand, El Carboncito and kitty-corner to the Pemex gas station.
