Fashion & Beauty › Salons

Poison Ivy

  • 342 Manning Ave. (at College) • View on map »
  • 416-588-3366

Stylists here cut and colour according to their Little Italy demographic—a casual mix of flair, sophistication and practicality. The five women on the team let trends guide them but don’t cater to any one signature style. Polished cuts (think Victoria Beckham’s bob) have been a dominant look. The salon features a blow-drying specialist in Connie Johnston and a colour correction artist in Amber Sinclair; cuts start at $40 to $45; colour at $70; highlights at $85. Ask about student discounts.

Hours:
Tu–W 10–7, Th–F 10–8, Sa 9:30–6
