Giannis
With over 25 years of experience, I’m a master stylist dedicated to bringing laughter and joy to every appointment. Born and raised in Athens, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to stunning locations through my work, enriching my craft along the way.
My journey has taken me from New York to Paris, London, Prague and Chicago, where I honed my skills at the prestigious Jacques Dessange Academy of Hair Colouring and Styling. I’ve collaborated with the likes of the Oprah Winfrey Show, Friends, and runway projects featuring fashion icons such as Tom Ford, Dior, Maybelline, and Versace.
I specialize in curly hair and women’s cuts, offering everything from classic gentlemen’s styles to super fades. My expertise includes European styling, Asian hair, coloring, highlighting, balayage, and French balayage. I also love working with brides and for special occasions, and I’m passionate about hair treatments, particularly for Eastern hair revival.
I believe that everyone who sits in my chair deserves the highest level of care and attention. I’m committed to listening to your needs and providing a top-notch experience tailored just for you. Let’s create something beautiful together!

With over 7 years of experience of hairstyling, I love being able to create trending looks on anyone that sits in my chair!
With the forever changing hair trends we see online, I take pride in always being up to date with hair education and have attended hair training courses in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
My specialties include:
- balayage,
- highlights,
- updos and hair cutting!
My love for fashion and the beauty industry has made it easy for me to dive deep into Wedding Updos and Event Styling! I love being able to make anyone feel beautiful on a very special day.
A future goal for me would be to style hair backstage at New York Fashion Week! Until then, I look forward to creating behind my chair!
