Accessibility

A salon that's open
to everyone.

Accessibility is not an afterthought at Backstage. Every client deserves a comfortable, dignified experience, regardless of ability, background, or need.

In-Salon

Accessible by design.

Our Cornwall Road location is built to welcome clients of all abilities comfortably and with dignity.

🚪
Accessible Entrance

Our Cornwall Road location has a ground-level entrance with no steps. No ramps or lifts required. Walk straight in.

🅿️
Free On-Site Parking

Complimentary client parking is available directly outside the salon. Accessible parking spaces are available close to the entrance.

💺
Flexible Seating

We offer flexible seating arrangements for clients with mobility needs. Let us know when you book and we will have everything prepared.

Unhurried Appointments

We never rush. For clients who need extra time (to settle in, to rest, or to communicate their needs), we build that into your appointment.

📞
Call Ahead

If you have specific needs or concerns before visiting, please call us. We will walk you through what to expect and prepare accordingly.

🤝
Trained, Patient Team

Our stylists are experienced working with clients of all abilities. Respectful, attentive service is the standard, not the exception.

Digital Accessibility

Our website, for everyone.

We are committed to making backstagehair.ca usable by all visitors, including those using assistive technologies.

WCAG 2.1 AA Commitment

We are actively working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. This is an ongoing effort, not a one-time checkbox.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone. Interactive elements (menus, buttons, forms) are all reachable without a mouse.

Screen Reader Support

We use semantic HTML, descriptive alt text on images, and ARIA labels where needed to support screen reader users.

Readable Typography

Text throughout the site meets minimum contrast ratios. Font sizes are set in relative units so your browser or OS text preferences are respected.

No Auto-Playing Media

We do not use auto-playing video or audio on any page. Animations are subtle and do not include flashing or rapid movement.

Continuous Improvement

If you encounter a barrier on our website, please tell us. We take every report seriously and aim to resolve issues promptly.

Found a barrier? If any part of our website is difficult to use, please contact us at [email protected] or call (905) 842-0090. We will respond within 2 business days.

Request an Accommodation

Just ask. We'll make it work.

If you have a specific accessibility need (physical, sensory, communication-related, or anything else), please reach out before your visit. We will do everything we can to ensure your experience is comfortable from the moment you arrive.

No request is too small. Calling ahead means we can have everything ready for you.
