Nori started working as a hairstylist in Japan in 2002, where he focused on improving his craft and developing a passion for his art for the following nine years. In 2011, in search of a different challenge for himself and eager to learn new skillsets, Nori decided to leave Japan and settle in Vancouver. Boasting extensive experience in the industry both in Japan and Canada, it is a great privilege and pleasure for us to welcome him as the newest member of the Modu family. Continuing to pour his heart into his art under a new roof, Nori looks forward to meeting you and taking care of your hair. His priority is to make sure you leave with the best possible experience and highest satisfaction.

While growing up, I always looked up to my mom who worked as a beautician. She’s the one who ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in the hairdressing industry. I worked as a hairstylist in Korea for six years after graduating from cosmetology school, and decided to resettle in Vancouver at the prospect of new opportunities and challenges.

​

Going forward, I want to prioritize the relationships I develop with my clients and connect with them on a deeper level. I want to share all the knowledge I have accumulated over the years and focus on building long-lasting bonds with my clients and coworkers alike that will outlive my time spent at the salon. I want to contribute to creating a fun and positive atmosphere at Mòdú so that all our clients can feel right at home and leave with a big smile.

​

I promise to always give my best and stay true to my aspirations. Looking forward to seeing you at Mòdú!

Adah began working as an assistant in 2010 at JUNO Hair in Korea, eventually climbing the ranks to become a senior hairstylist. Influenced by her mother who was a hairstylist herself, Adah earned a degree from a beauty college in Korea and came to settle down in Vancouver after having refined her skillset as a hairstylist. 

Communicating with her clients is what Adah values most in her work. She believes that good communication is the key to making her clients happy, and in turn allow herself constant room to grow and get better. She constantly tries to outdo herself and take every measure in her power to exceed the needs and expectations of her clients.
