"I would loosely say it's an eclectic creative space," says Hallwas, who isthe latest nominee for CBC's #iamSKproject.

In her studio, Hallwas not only cuts hair and offers massage therapy, but she also runs an artist's collective featuring local items and products.

"I love creating relationships with people and being creative on a regular basis," she said."I have always been a team player, I guess and I like working with lots of different people and showcasing other people."

She calls it"the Hero's Makeover."

"People could nominate a do-gooder in Regina and someone who is deserving of a bit of a treat," for the makeover, she said.

That initiative isjust one of the reasonsHallwaswas nominated to be a part ofCBC's#iamSK.

"I love Regina and I love Saskatchewan and I march to that beat all the time, and so it is nice to be recognized for that," she said.
