Hutoshi Hair & Skin Studio

Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with Monday, Thursday, and Sunday closed. The compact schedule means calling ahead to confirm the day's availability is wise.

Hutoshi has operated since 1976 as an environmentally friendly salon specializing in finger styling, where stylists use their fingers rather than brushes to dry and shape hair. The team works with henna, water, and natural oils and specializes in curly, wavy, limp, and unruly hair. The approach suits clients who want low maintenance cuts that work with their natural texture.

The studio is at 112 Harbord Street in Harbord Village, just west of Spadina Avenue near the University of Toronto. Call ahead to book, since the salon keeps limited days. The studio is led by owner Cyrus Irani, and the team keeps every visit personal and welcoming.
