John Steinberg – an icon in the Canadian hairdressing industry passed away last week. He had been courageously fighting with cancer since the last six months. His loss is indeed very sad.

John was one of Toronto’s best known hairstylists and his legendary career in the beauty industry lasted for 51 years. He started his career as a 15 year old apprentice under the legendary stylist Robert Edele in England in 1959. He had established his salon – John Steinberg & Associates Salon in 1991 and its friendly culture makes it one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

John had represented L’Oreal Professional, Wella, Schwarzkopf and other companies at hairdressing conventions. He had also won the 2005 Contessa Community Service Award. Amongst his colleagues and within the industry, John was known to be a very generous and kind person.

We were honoured to have John with us on ScissorBoy TV as he talked about his adventure in the hair industry. In that episode, he not only gave great tips for wannabe hairstylists but also provided some inspirational advice for hairstylists.

This hair and beauty industry veteran lend us his inspirational advice while he was on our show by saying -

“All you need is a comb and a pair of scissors and you can go anywhere in the world!”

We’ll miss you John! Rest in peace.

The two videos show Stacey achieve two different looks on models Anita and Monica. While one look was very strong and graphic the other one was quite commercial and loose. Both the videos were filmed in the brand new fitted Salon area, designed and supplied by Salon Ambience.

Stacey summed up his thoughts of the shoot by saying, “I thought it was brilliant today. It was very fluid and easy compared to what we normally do on MyHairDressers.com.”
