Toni & Guy

There is an Italian girl. Who comes from Montréal. She was very rude and disrespectful. Look down on Chinese people. She is definitely racism. I won’t back.

I live in NYC now but whenever I come home I rush hair because I love the cuts (Bruno, Alexis) the color (Tristan) and the price!
I have had my hair cut and colored at NYC salons such as Bumble & Bumble and Butterfly studio and no one compares to my Toronto standby.

I came here on the recommendation of a friend whilst in town for a wedding. Fabulous! Audrey did my highlights, Sabrina did my blowout, and Hong did my nails — everything turned out beautifully. I was here for several hours on a Saturday morning, was served loads of coffee (thank you!), and everyone was really, really friendly. On the pricier side, yes, but you get what you pay for. I will definitely come here again when I’m in town.

just came back from getting my hair cut by sophia and my colour done by Andrea! it was my first time after reading about it here on Unilocal and I’m so glad I checked this place out! I will definitely be going back and referring my friends. everyone who works here is young and stylish and I felt really
comfortable and that I was in good professional hands while I was there. everyone is very friendly and they know what they’re doing. highly recommend! and the prices are worth it and pretty normal I think for this kind of service.

When I first moved to Toronto, I wasn’t sure which salon to turn to for my precious waist-​length bleached blonde hair and chose Toni&Guy for its international name recognition. My hair colour requires special attentions, and Carrie did a great job. She triple-​checked bleaching of the root growth!!! My only complaint is that the toner she chose was way too ash for my liking. It didn’t even wash out over time. I eventually had to do a blonde rinse (at Barberella) to get that toner out. However, Carrie was very professional and talented. I would still recommend her, just be sure to be very clear about what you want as everyone has a different idea of ash, neutral and golden.

Because i have thick unruly long hair, I have to spend alot of money trying to maintain it which means i have been going to nice salons since I was first able to afford them. Unfortuantely, there can be alot of bad hair stylists at good salons, or people who just dont want to give you the bland normal cut that you want. NOT the case here
some background history: industry used to be a tony and guy but disenfranchised because they wanted to have greater control over things such as the prodcuts they chose, BALLZY, because alot of the prodcuts they carry are the best in the market, not just gimmicky but actually great. Also i have been going here for cuts for nearly a year now and have always been more than satisfied. Here is the breakdown
Atmosphere: Awesome. For yorkville very unpretentious. Soft lounge music is played, the stylists wear black, you are offered tea and coffee,
Customer Service: polite receptionist, deals for customers via email, 10% of your cuts if you prebook
Products: top of the line, for buying these products are comparable to other salon prices, they also offer wicked sales every so often so look out for this. They also offer many hair treatments, do make up, sell make up and nailpolish
THE ACTUAL QUALITY OF CUT: while it is no longer a tony and guy store, the stylists were all still trained at the school last time I checked. I see Maxine for my cuts, lovely stylist, LISTENS to what i want, and has always given me the cut ive wanted. does NOT try to obsessively upsell, in fact the first time i bought hair style products from her was today, she’d noted my flat iron was burning my hair (i was guilty of not having used serum for quite a while). So i bought a few reasonably priced products on her recommendation. Additionally I had Suki cut me once, equally talented and nice girl, liked her cut just as much as Maxines.
If you like a QUALITY hair cut and are willing to pay REASONABLE quality price for it, you will get it here.

I can’t believe I haven’t tried this salon. I came here recently for a long overdue haircut, which required delicate layering and curls. My stylist knew exactly the hair style I had wanted so the result came out excellent! He gave my hair good volume and shape, which is perfectly the style I asked for. Service met my expectation too as every staff was kind and gentle.

I got a great hair cut at Tony & Guy, but overal the service was terrible.

This is my go-​to place for a chic, sleek chin bob.
You see, I have long layered hair, and I don’t trust a lot of people with my hair, and most places at some time or another have gave me a bad haircut when I tried to go shorter (it’s harder to mess up long layers but soooo obvious when you’ve got short hair).
Like you know how when the ends flip out weird or just won’t stay straight? Yep, hate that.
But the stylist I went to at Industry knew exactly how to cut my hair so that it stays straight and curves with my head shape. So even though this place is a big pricier than other salons, it’s my trusted choice for going for a short hairstyle, or something sleek. The team there is pretty up to date with the latest trends and both times I went to this salon, I left with a chic and sleek cut for about $ 90 after tax and tip. Love it!

ive been going to this salon for years, even when it was toni and guy. the staff is very nice.
i always leave very satisfied. the cuts are great and the service is good.
i had a color correction with tessa that was terrible. i didnt realize at first, maybe it was the lighting. i went from a dark brown to a light brown. my hair was brassy, even after a toner. it didnt compliment my skintone at all. i showed her a photo of what i wanted and she seemed very confident about being about to pull it off. the end result was horrible. i kept the color for a week and then i ended up taking a box dye to my hair and went right back to dark brown. after the lift and color, she asked if i wanted a toner. it was very obvious (or so i thought) that i needed a toner, badly. but even with the toner, y hair was still a brassy mess. i still go back but only for cuts. Highly recommend.

I have been coming here for nearly 4 years (when it was Toni & Guy) and let me just tell you, the creative team here have given me the best haircuts/​colour of my life! I always leave the salon feeling like a movie star and people have stopped me in the streets to ask where I get my hair done. One time I was even asked to have my picture taken by someone because she loved my haircut so much!
I have very thick hair and I recently had a beautiful layered cut done by Leigha. She listened to every word and request I had and is very talented at what she does. I have also seen Tessa for colouring — who is an absolute colour genius! They are my new favourite gals!
I have brought both my brother and sister here and referred someone else here (who stopped me on the street about my ‘do). As long as these guys are in business — which I’m sure will be forever — I’ll be coming here!

4.5 stars
Is it just me or whenever I call a salon in Toronto (that’s not over $ 200 for a service), they are always booked, booked, booked? It’s really difficult to get something last minute. Not only did I call 6 different salons who couldn’t get me a day-​of appointment for a highlight but for some I had to wait at least another week. Sigh!
Some salons even charge for the blow dry separately: Mod and Daniel Salons, I’m looking at you. SERIOUSLY?! If you are paying over $ 100 for a hair service like a highlight the blowdry should be included. Blasphemy.
So I went the old fashioned way: in person. After three missed attempts of walking around in Yorkville, I was referred by Francesco Fontana to Industry (formerly Toni & Guy).
And it was such a great recommendation!
VIBE
This is one of the biggest salons in Yorkville that I’ve seen. At least it looks that way. It’s location is a bit clandestine –it’s behind the rocks and park on the other side of Cumberland (where the alleyway, Pottery Barn and backside location of Nike is). Right beside the MB & Co. sandwich shop.
The salon is sleek with those slippery-​esque shiny floors, tons of mirrors and black salon chairs. They’ve got a great set up. And they have internet. Internet in the salon! Genius! They also have a separate area divided for the colouring stations and where you get your cut.
THE SERVICE
I was in dire need of a colour touch up So I got a half head of highlights. I was introduced to Diana who was professional friendly and courteous. She also listened to my needs and explained the differences between partial, half and full highlights (I never used to «touch up» and always got a full head of highlights). My colour now looks a bit more uniform. It took a damn long time (2 hours for everything!)
The blow dry was quick and easy and they really work as a team here. Her colleague helped me out with the blow dry and they left it simple and sleek. Plus, my hair smells good!
They also have very good product here including a detangling brush (yes please!) and lots of L’oreal/Keratasse product.
Everyone is really professional here.
The service was a bit more expensive than I would usually pay for a half head of highlights: including tax and tip, it was $ 147. Because it was last minute and I had a good feeling about the salon, I went for it.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
A great industry at Industry! (cue symbols).
Everything was on mark. I’d definitely come here again and see what they could do with a cut.
When the owner personally says hello, I think that’s an added touch.
Bravo!

I took advantage of the FabFind coupon about a month ago — $ 69 for Cut+Color+Blowdry with select stylists. My color was by Tessa and cut was by Maxine. I really enjoyed the way the have addressed my needs — Tessa evened out my whole color (I had lighter roots) and gave me a fab head massage. Maxine spent quite some time perfecting the cut — I also loved her suggestion for how to cut certain areas differently than my previous stylist did. Overall a great appointment!
The only drawback is if I want to go back to see the girls, I’ll be paying more than twice as much as the coupon price :(Yorkville is an expensive area.

I went to Industry because they offered a FabFind deal for a nail polish change and and hair treatment & styling and it’s close to my office.
I was expected to be badgered slightly into «upgrading» for more services and I did upgrade to a manicure because I had planned to do so and it was only an extra $ 15. The manicurist was very nice but got nail polish all over my fingers that had to be cleaned up afterward.
Then I sat in a chair for about 10 minutes waiting for Sophia to style my hair. After I explained how I wanted her to blow out my hair, she started with «when did you last get your hair cut?». I had expected this upgrade ploy as well and I informed her that I had gotten my hair cut within the last three weeks and straightforwardly told her that I was not there for a haircut. That really should have been the end of the up-​selling. However, she proceeded to spend the rest of the 50-​minute appointment telling me in her most cheerful and helpful tone that my hair looked bad, hadn’t been cut properly, and that I should let her cut my hair.
I completely understand the point of these FabFind, Groupon, etc. deals and I am willing to upgrade for something I want (like a manicure) but there’s a point where you need to give it up. I felt so uncomfortable and offended that, for the first time in my life, I didn’t leave a tip for a stylist.

Would it be too cheesy to say that the haircut I got here grew on me? I got it done yesterday (again with the Fab Find – yay for group deals in all their various forms) and it was fine – looked okay, but I wasn’t insanely thrilled by it or anything.
Then that night someone remarked upon my dramatic weight loss (alas, I haven’t lost any weight), and I started to wonder whether the Haircut was actually somehow imbued with heretofore underestimated magical properties. The jury is still out on that, but I can also say that it blow dries nicely, even with the minimal product I put in (i.e. none, often as not). It has good volume and shapes easily, but has been thinned enough to have good movement, lightness and visual texture. It also blow dries waaay quicker than my hair usually does at this length. I always figure the real test of a good haircut is how well the hair falls once I’ve washed the salon’s styling and product out of it and treated it to my unique brand of slightly careless hair drying – and this one has passed that test with flying colours.
It’s an expensive place, and while I’m not the hippest of customers and generally feel as though I stand out at such places (e.g. I got the sense that my hair stylist didn’t know what to talk to me about, since it’s obvious I’m not greatly into designer clothes and makeup), I am definitely not averse to shelling out for a good cut, then just maintaining it for a while. Given that, I might actually consider going back, even without the Fab Find deal.
But re the cut – yeah, I’m impressed. The Haircut is growing on me.

I love Industry Hairdressing (née Toni & Guy Yorkville). I have been going to this location for almost ten years because the staff are so nice. I was skeptical of going to a hair salon in Yorkville, I am not a frou frou lady, but they are great. Ryan has cut my hair for at least 4 years, I would wholeheartedly recommend him (and have to many satisfied customers!). The salon is a bit pricey, but I am of the thinking that a good haircut is worth every penny. I used industry for my wedding day and loved the result and experience for my bridesmaids and myself. Professional, fun and fantastic salon experience.

When I worked at Bay and Bloor this was my go to spot for a hair cut. Sabrina gave a consistently excellent cut, probably the best I’ve had. I love that this place is scissors only, I actually heard them refuse to use clippers on a customer who asked for them – awesome!
The atmosphere is fun and unpretentious. Cuts take awhile – a little over an hour for me – but it’s because they do a good job and don’t rush.
Their shampoo and conditioner is wicked. I always pick up the big pump bottles of Curls Rock. Really great stuff and it lasts forever.
My only complaint is that my stylist was 5 – 10 minutes late a few times. Also, it’s pricey, I think I was paying like $ 60. I haven’t been in several months because I no longer live in Toronto and am back in school so my budget is a lot tighter.

Don’t Ever go to this place. The people working there are very rude and unprofessional! EVEN the Manager !
One Guy I forgot his name Andrew or something was really rude to me and was back talking me with some serious attitude saying I should’ve taken an appointment and it’s saturday and stuff like that, the manager butted in but made it even worse, he was very cocky and kinda arrogant and took the Dresser’s Side. So much for the «Customer is always right»!
That was my first time ever and my first day in Toronto and I just wanted to get a good haircut, my friend suggested this place and I wish he didn’t! They really made my Day — NOT!
Remember, They look down at you as if you’re begging them for a haircut. Very Snobby and Preppy people working there! Oh and Their cuts are overpriced, as much as $ 100 for a cut. The place is really small & crowded as hell. I also have to mention that the smell inside the place is weird.
DON’T EVER GO THERE!!!
PS. I then went to Coupe Bizarre down at Queens and they did a great Job. Very friendly dresser «Dwain «and even cheaper. It turned out great!

I’ve had my hair cut here a few times by the same stylist, and while he did pay quite a bit of attention to my hair, I’ve never seen anyone so meticulous with hair, the price was quite outrageous; $ 75 with tip for a men’s cut.
Also, my appointments were always delayed and I had to wait. I wanted a quality haircut and was willing to pay for one but I seemed to be a second rate customer because the last time I went I was sitting around halfway though my cut while the stylist started on someone else, I guess they were double booked.
I added this up with the price and the attitude of the folks at the register and I just stopped going.

Well let’s just say there’s a reason why this place is expensive. I’ve gotten two haircuts from Bruno and without a doubt, I’ve never seen someone else do hair like this. I’ve gone to hairstylists uptown, midtown, downtown and nothing compares.
Only thing is if you want a nice cut then it’s going to take a while, both times I’ve been in there I ended up staying there for more than 2 hours but the people there are great and the end result is great so how can I complain.
The only thing that keeps me away is the price which I obviously can’t afford to go to regularly but if I want to try something crazy and new, this is place to do it. All the stylists know exactly what they are doing and are true artists.
