Tony Shamas is an experienced hair colourist and stylist. He is known for creating some of the best blonde highlights in Toronto.

With over 30 years of experience in the hair industry, Tony Shamas leads a skilled and dedicated team of hair stylists.

Tony was born in Baghdad, Iraq, and lived there until the age of six. He then moved frequently with his family, living in Egypt, Algeria, Italy, and Spain. His father was a physicist, and his mother was a hairdresser, which influenced his creative path.

After settling in Canada, Tony began his apprenticeship at a salon in Clarkson, Mississauga. He quickly realized this was his passion and went on to study Applied Arts and Visual Design.

Tony specializes in:

Blonde Highlights

Women’s Haircuts

Hair Colouring

Men’s Haircuts

Hair styling runs in Tony’s family. His mother, Bushra, and his brother are also hairstylists and operate their own salon in Canada.

Tony’s passion for beauty reflects the cultures of the many countries he has lived in.

“My mother was always invited to gala events and elegant parties when we lived in Egypt and Italy,” Tony recalls. “She was known as the ‘queen of beauty.’”

Although she was surrounded by impeccably dressed women with beautiful hair, she taught me something important: “The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.”

He believes that to make others feel beautiful, you must first feel confident within yourself. This mindset is essential when creating hair as a form of art.

Tony has a warm and outgoing personality, and he takes pride in every guest’s satisfaction.

He is especially known in Toronto for clients who want a full, bright blonde look.

Over the years, he has styled and coloured hair for fashion magazine teams, as well as international actresses and singers, including Lara Daans and Janet Jackson.
