JOHN DONATO
John Donato was born in Toronto to a family of hairdressers. His childhood was
spent on the floor assisting stylists and technicians in his father’s hair salon where
ultimately he learned at an early age that hair amplifies style.
John’s formal training as a hairstylist took him from Toronto to Los Angeles,
London and Paris, where he was exposed to the highest level of the hair styling
craft. Upon his return to Toronto, John began operating his first hair salon and
participating as a guest artist at international hair shows in the fashion capitals
of the world.
It was also at that time that the opportunities to work internationally on photography
sets, in television studios, and at fashion shows added further dimension to his
career. With the beauty industry community being a continual source of inspiration,
fused with his vision and perseverance, twenty-five years later John continues to
grow and gain momentum with his enterprise.
John has been presented with numerous beauty industry awards including North American Editorial
Stylist of the Year, Canadian Hairdresser of the Year, and Avant Garde Stylist of the Year to name a few.
He owns three full-service Donato Salon + Spa locations in the Greater Toronto Area, in addition to
the Donato Academy of Hairstyling and Aesthetics.
