Where to Buy Hijabs in Ottawa & Montreal (2026 Guide)

In Ottawa, your best local hijab stops are Heba Boutique on Bank Street and Misk Boutique in Kanata; in Montreal, Jolie Nisa near the Acadie and Parc metro stations and Tendances An-Nisa. And because JAIDA ships same-day from Ontario, both cities are about as close to our studio as it gets.

Here's the honest, verified guide — real shops with real addresses, what to check before you buy in person, and when online is the smarter move.

Where to Buy Hijabs in Ottawa

Heba Boutique — 1440 Bank Street

A dedicated Islamic clothing boutique on Bank Street carrying luxury women's clothing, scarves, and hijabs — jersey, printed chiffon, and ombé styles among them — with an online shop that delivers across Canada and the US as well.

Misk Boutique — Kanata

A modest clothing boutique in Kanata stocking hijabs, abayas, evening dresses, casual modest wear, and curated fragrances — a good west-end option for both everyday pieces and occasion looks.

Monalisa — Alta Vista

A community favourite that local sisters consistently recommend for hijabs and ouds. Worth the trip when you want to browse in person — and Ottawa's modest fashion scene runs deeper still, with boutiques around hubs like Billings Bridge Shopping Centre.

Where to Buy Hijabs in Montreal

Jolie Nisa Fashion Modest Wear

An Islamic clothing store conveniently placed near the Acadie and Parc metro stations, offering hijabs, voile shawls, and jilbabs across classic and contemporary styles. Reviewers single out the chiffon quality, the abayas designed for Umrah and Hajj, and an owner known for genuinely personal service.

Tendances An-Nisa

A Montreal-based shop for hijabs, turbans, head wraps, shawls, and caftans, with delivery available worldwide — a solid pick for both everyday hijabs and statement occasion pieces.

What to Check When Buying a Hijab in Person

• Size. Around 200x70cm gives you every wrap style; smaller scarves limit you.
• Opacity. Hold it to the light. Sheer fabrics in light colours should be worn layered — opaque when layered is the honest standard for chiffon.
• Grip and finish. Matte holds; glossy slips. Run it across the back of your hand before you buy.
• Edges. Clean, finished hems are what make a hijab last beyond a season.
