Best Hair Salon in Toronto

Double Recognition

In a remarkable achievement, June Croken Hairdresser on Fire didn't just win the readers' vote—they also earned the editorial team's official designation as Toronto's Best Hair Salon in 2019. This double recognition from both the public and professional journalists solidifies their position at the top of Toronto's beauty scene.

Now Magazine's editorial team visited dozens of Toronto salons, evaluating everything from technical skill and creativity to customer service and overall experience. Their conclusion? June Croken sets the standard for excellence in the city.

The Editorial Assessment

In their feature article, Now Magazine's beauty editor highlighted several factors that distinguished June Croken from the competition:

Technical Excellence

"This isn't a salon where only the owner can deliver great results," the review noted. "Every team member exhibits exceptional skill."

Personalized Consultation

What particularly stood out was the thorough consultation process. Rather than rushing clients into the chair, stylists take time to understand lifestyle, hair history, maintenance preferences, and personal style. This attention to the individual ensures results that not only look beautiful but work in real life.

Atmosphere and Experience

The review praised the salon's ambiance: "It strikes the perfect balance between professional and welcoming. You feel like you're in capable hands, but you're also relaxed and comfortable. There's no pretension, just genuine care and expertise."

Value for Quality

While not the cheapest option in Toronto, Now Magazine noted that the quality of service justifies the investment. "You're not just paying for a haircut—you're paying for expertise, premium products, and an experience. The results speak for themselves."

Industry Respect

The editorial team also investigated June Croken's reputation within the professional hairdressing community. They found a salon respected by peers for their contribution to Toronto's beauty industry through education, innovation, and mentorship.

"Other stylists in Toronto speak highly of June Croken," the article observed. "That kind of peer respect is rare and telling. When your competitors admire your work, you know you're doing something special."

Client Testimonials

The Now Magazine team interviewed several clients as part of their research. The consistent theme? Loyalty and satisfaction.

"I followed my stylist here from another salon five years ago. Now I can't imagine going anywhere else. The entire team is incredible."

Now Magazine concluded their feature with a clear statement: "In a city full of excellent salons, June Croken Hairdresser on Fire stands out for their consistent delivery of exceptional results, their genuine care for clients, and their contribution to Toronto's creative community. They are, without question, Toronto's best hair salon."

A Humble Response

When asked about the double recognition, June Croken remained characteristically humble: "We're honored and grateful, but this doesn't change our approach.
