A Vancouver hairstylist is asking locals to be on the lookout for tools that were stolen from the salon she works at over the weekend.
Kokopelli Salon was broken into in the early hours of Saturday, sometime between 2:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., according to a social media post.
“Tools and devices were stolen, all of one stylist’s tools are gone, another’s was thankfully recovered from a dumpster in the alley,” Jade Chow wrote on Facebook Sunday.
“Fellow hairdressers feel this heartbreak right away,” Chow continued. “Our tools are a part of us and what we do…not to mention the thousands of dollars they cost and the time and work we put in to earn them.”
Chow is asking for people to keep their eyes peeled for the stolen items—including multiple pairs of shears, clippers, a point-of-sale system and a Parlux hair dryer—while browsing online marketplaces and pawnshops.
Online, the lowest priced Parlux hair dryer is $239.99, while the most costly is $336.
“Message me if anything can be one of the items gone,” wrote Chow, who says Kokopelli Salon is in the process of filing a claim with their insurance company.
