The Cellar Hair Salon
26 Bellair St
Due to COVID closures, salons in Toronto have been closed for several months, meaning many of us may be sporting multi-tonal hair at this point. Why not treat yourself or a loved one to a customized root-touch up? The team at The Cellar is offering virtual consultations complete with custom colour kits for pick-up. The kits include everything necessary, including plastic capes, gloves, application brushes and of course all applicable products. Comprehensive instructions and safety protocol can be found online here.
