Frank Cini is the 2020 Ontario Hairdresser of the Year, 2 time Canadian Hairdresser of the Year, and a 2023 Nominated North American Hairstylist of the Year. Previously, he has worked with designer Marie Copps and celebrated the 20th anniversary of Taz Hair Co. with an art exhibition on June 19, 2017.

Frank carries with him a commitment to excellence in leading the Taz team, as well as being the best possible mentor for his children. Having become a 4th generation hair stylist, it’s no surprise that this man’s family crest ought to be a pair of shears.

Twenty years into her career and a co-owner of Taz, Carol Cini has added some of the most prestigious awards to her name, including North American Makeover Hairstylist of the Year and Canadian Multicultural Hairstylist of the Year.

Design is something that comes naturally to Carol, and is evident in the most avant-garde styles which she creates so effortlessly, allowing her the honour of becoming a Platform Artist for L’Oréal Professionnel Canada.

To name a few of Carol’s contributions to the industry, Carol has styled for:  Toronto Fashion Week, Bell Mobility Charity Gala, L’Oréal Colour Trophy, Mirror Awards Pre Show, and stage work for manufacturers such as Wella Sebastian, and Soma Schwartzkopf. “Style translates into every aspect of your life.” says Cini. She takes that philosophy very seriously, and incorporates this into the education and design of the Taz culture.

There are several reasons as to why her clients keep coming back. “Hair is such a personal thing, I have opinions, but I like to listen. It’s not about right or wrong, it’s what suits them and makes them happy. Offering an honest and thorough consultation is definitely the key to client comfort,” she said. “I love to suggest change and educate my clients on how to create their new looks at home.”

Now being the wife to Frank Cini and mother of their two young children, Carol works part time at the salon and is in high demand, with clients booking appointments three weeks in advance. “Having two hairstylists in the family is a bonus; it makes you better at it. I couldn’t imagine it any other way.”

“The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary”.

Minseo (or Min) may be a newcomer in the Canadian hairstyling scene, but she’s no newcomer when it comes to her extensive knowledge of hair. Born and raised in South Korea, she started her career in hair styling at the age of 16 as a competitive hair stylist and has won numerous awards in Korea. Min obtained her Bachelor of Design, and made her move to Canada to broaden her experience and further her study in this art.

There is not a day that goes by when she doesn’t display her passion and love for the industry. Min makes hairstyling look easy, much like a painter or any artist; most artists use a palette and brushes whereas she uses pairs of scissors and brushes to craft an art on hair using her extraordinary hair-cutting techniques. She has the natural ability to take her vision and bring it to life!

“I find enjoyment seeing a smile and excitement when I help clients find their right hair. To me, this is more than work; it is a never-ending dream that I want to grow up with”.
