Nick Giardino was born in Rocca San Giovanni Italy in a village of 2000 inhabitants along the beautiful southern Adriatic coastline. At the age of 14 he started apprenticing in his aunt’s salon. At the age of 16 he continued his education while living in Rome.
He returned to Canada and opened his first salon at the age of 19. After a very successful three years, Nick wanted to look for a new challenge where he found himself moving to London England and trained at Sanrizz in Knightsbridge, one of London’s Prestigious salons, under the watchful eye of Tony Rizzo one of hairdressing’s leading icons.
He continued his education in Los Angeles, New York, and Europe while collaborating with top artists, photographers, models and makeup artist resulting in Nick’s work showcased in numerous international beauty and fashion magazines.
Shadow & Light
Nick’s unique approach to looking at hair is based on shadow and light, to create subtly carved shapes to reflect the unique bone structure of each individual allowing the hair to fall naturally and harmoniously creating a work of art.
At the foundation of Nick’s method lies the ability of listening, allowing him to capture and reveal the personal beauty of every woman taking into account her culture and desires.
The consultation process focuses on individuality, lifestyle and exceptional product knowledge that maximizes healthy beautiful hair.
What People Say
I drove from Toronto for Giardino and Nick! That has to tell you something…. It really is all about Nick and his masterful skill both at colour and cutting. The best experience is when you give Nick free reign… he knows beauty and he knows hair…. It is never a let down. Ladies, I have recommended many and everyone is enchanted with one visit. Ambience, top of the line products, skill, sass and most of all I feel like a million dollars. The best part your hair will grow out exactly how he cut it! Oh yes! Skill……. I invite you to make it a destination, I have and have followed Nick for years, because he is with it and I am worth it! Enjoy the haircut!

Incredibly elegant experience each and every time I visit. Nick is a true artist with an eye for design and style. My hair has never looked nor felt better.

Every visit is wonderful! You must go!

From the moment you walk in you feel inspired to create your best self. Nick skillfully assesses your hair and listens openly to your desired outcome. He then treats and performs to help bring those wishes to fruition. Obviously, I am beyond pleased with my results and the fine service I received while at GIARDINO. I highly recommend him!!
