Calia Hair

Calia Hair

Founded in May 2000 by Peter and Luisa Ciardulli, Calia Hair has become a staple of the Yonge Lawrence Village neighbourhood. The name itself is a heartfelt nod to their children, Luca and Julia, setting the tone for a salon that feels deeply rooted in community and family values. Over the last two decades, the team has cultivated a welcoming, professional atmosphere that balances high-end expertise with a genuine, down-to-earth vibe. They are widely recognized for their consistency, having secured the People’s Choice Award for Best Hair Salon in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which speaks volumes about the loyalty they have built among local residents who return year after year for reliable, quality service.

If you are a first-timer, book a consultation to discuss a precision cut or one of their signature vibrant colour transformations; the stylists are excellent at tailoring looks to your specific hair type and lifestyle. The salon offers a full suite of services, including balayage, extensions, and specialized treatments, and they even have their own line of products if you want to maintain the look at home. They are open Tuesday through Sunday, with late-evening hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, making it convenient for those with busy work schedules. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for technical services like highlights or corrective colour, which require a credit card to secure. Keep in mind that they have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy, so be sure to plan accordingly to avoid any unexpected charges.
