Dino Tolentino

“Every designer has his or her own style. My style is to work with a person’s natural beauty, embracing and celebrating the gifts they’ve been given. I believe in cutting hair dry — because when you cut the hair dry you can see the person’s natural texture. Hair has to be dry in order to see that natural shape.”

Renowned as one of Toronto’s top colourists for more than twenty years, Dino is known for his sensitivity to depth, texture and natural shine. He brought his experience from the celebrated Salon Solis to his own salon and beauty company, Salt.

Over the years he has won numerous awards as one of Toronto’s best hairdressers and North America’s top stylists and colourists. His colour collections appear regularly on television and in fashion and beauty press. His specialties include dimensional colouring, blondes, ombre and balayage, and he has worked with Canada’s top actors and modelling agencies.
