5 Best Hair Salons in Toronto (2026)

FYF Studio runs two locations, one in downtown Toronto on Dundas Street West and a second in Pickering, offering fades, braids, perms, and colour work alongside a roster of more than a dozen named barbers and stylists. The shop doubles as a barber school, training apprentices alongside its working chairs. Reviewers consistently name specific barbers, Marcus, JC, and Charles among them, which suggests a team that's built individual followings rather than one star stylist carrying the shop.

Salon Solis is a color and styling salon on Harbord Street built around lead stylist Ernesto Domanico, with colourist Dino Tolentino handling highlights and balayage work. The salon uses L'Oreal products and offers bridal packages alongside standard cuts and color. Several reviewers describe traveling back to Toronto from other cities specifically to keep their appointment with Ernesto.

PERFECT X HAIR is a Korean hair salon with four locations across Toronto, built around personalized consultations and a menu that runs from basic cuts to digital perms and multi-process balayage. The Dundas Street West location offers complimentary drinks during service and is specifically known for working with a range of hair textures, including thick, wavy, and Asian hair types. Pricing is posted openly on the salon's own site, from $45 for men's cuts up to $389 for multi-process balayage.

Samir Hair Design has operated from the same Toronto Street location since 1996, run by head stylist Samir, who's been cutting hair since 1973. The unisex salon covers cuts, colour, and highlights, and reviewers consistently flag it as more affordable than comparable downtown salons despite the results. Booking runs through a direct call or text to Samir rather than an online system.

Hair By David & Co. operates out of a fifth-floor studio on Richmond Street West in the Fashion District, with a team of stylists including Jamila, who's specifically praised for work with type 4 curl patterns. The salon offers cuts, colour, and balayage, and reviewers highlight the staff's willingness to give honest advice about hair care routines rather than upselling product.
