IKON SALON is commited to sustainable beauty and is proud to be a stockist of davines premium haircare made in Italy. The new essential collection has made W's Most Wanted List! Here's what the magazine had to say: As with all brands, Italian beauty line Davines has grown and morphed since its launch in 1993, but it has also retained specific qualities, most notably a dedication to sustainability and safeguarding biodiversity. The company recently overhauled its most well-known product line, Essential Haircare, and developed 25 new products all of which are perfectly fit for post-winter hair renewal. Amongst our favorites is the newest family, MINU, which uses locally sourced caper blossom extract to create a soothing and, of course, wonderfully scented collection, including shampoo, conditioner, a hair mask, and hair serum targeted toward colored hair. However, if your hair is au natural and healthily survived winter winds, instead try DEDE, the family created for optimum daily cleansing. Farm fresh ingredients are featured in every product thanks to the brand's collaboration with the Slow Food Presidia and all products are part of LifeGate's Zero Impact project, meaning that any carbon dioxide emissions generated during the manufacturing process are offset by the brand's contribution to protecting forests in Madagascar. We think it's time to feel good about smelling good. Gone are the days when buying all natural, vegan hair products required a trip to an impossible-to-find apothecary or intense Googling. But it can still be hard to find green goods that actually meet my hair care needs. Davines' newly reformulated Essential Haircare line, happily, is both good for the Earth and good to my tresses. The collection is made with rapidly biodegradable ingredients, Zero Impact® packaging, and ingredients that contribute to sustaining vegetable species at risk of extinction. My favorite, the brand-new Minu collection for colored hair, is gluten free, has a unique earthy scent, and most importantly, delivers stellar results.

IKON SALON is proud of our entire team. We will be posting and sharing individual staff Bios of all our team members. Let’s begin with Lead Stylist Domenic Iannuzzi.

Multiple award-winning hairstylist, Domenic Iannuzzi, started his journey into the hair world at a young age. At just 18, Domenic was demonstrating hair cutting and styling techniques on stage at some of the biggest Canadian hair shows.

Honing his skills in top salons, he further developed his eye styling hair alongside fashion photographers. This allowed Domenic to advance quickly as a stylist, and at 21, he was profiled in Salon Magazine as a rising star.

It didn’t take long for Domenic to realize his passion for hair, combined with a fierce determination, would set the tone for an exciting career. His work has been featured in many magazines, including Chatelaine, Wedding Bells, Oxygen, Today’s Parent, Canadian Hairdresser, Modern Salon and Salon Magazine. This three-time award winner has been a makeover guest artist on television shows such as Steven & Chris, Shop Toronto and Images.

What his clients have to say:

"Domenic doesn’t cut hair—he sculpts it. He uses the same intense creative focus as a painter or sculptor." Jordan Madley (actor)

"By almost conversing with his client’s hair, he is so in tune with its nuances and how it grows that his cuts actually improve and evolve between visits." • Krista Look (producer)

"Domenic has been my stylist and friend for more than 20 years. We met when he was a young hairstylist and I was a young beauty editor. No one knows what my hair needs better than him." • Alison Wood (beauty Editor)

"Dom is a passionate stylist. He knows how to make you look and feel your best. Whether it's by breathing life into your current look or by giving you a gorgeous transformation - either way, you'll always leave feeling beautiful." • Kary Osmond (celebrity cook, television host)

Ever wondered how you can have the same hair color and type as your friend or celebrity muse, but a style that looks perfect on her looks not so perfect on you? It’s all about your face shape. At IKON SALON it's one of the very first and most important steps of the Client/Stylist Consultation. Taking your face shape into account is the key to finding the cut, shape and style that’s exactly right for you. So how do you know your face shape? Try this at home; it's easy: Facing a mirror take an old lipstick and trace around the circumference of your face. Look in the mirror and assess the shape you see – where are the widest and narrowest points? Is it Oval, heart, round, square or diamond shaped? Now that you know your shape, you are ready to choose the best hairstyle for that gorgeous face. #ikonsalon #torontosalon #midtown #toronto #beauty @ikonsalon
