Hair X-Tacy, Burlington, ON

“It all started when Carmen and his brother, Tony, got off the boat from Italy in the late ’50s and started a hairdressing business in 1963 called La Flair in Burlington…”

Over the years we’ve added family members to the team, rearranged, closed and opened new shops and in 1992 Hair Xtacy was born.

“The original hair pair, Carmen and Tony, closed La Flair and opened up Tony & Carmen’s Hair Salon in Eastgate Square in 1973. They opened another salon on Brant Street and Upper Middle Road in the late ’70s. Then each went on their own.

Carmen took over the Eastgate shop and Tony took the Brant Street and Upper Middle Road salon. Vince got into the business in 1985, his brother Carmen Jr. started in 1990 and Joe followed shortly after. They and their dad opened Hair Xtacy in 1992. Their sister, Roberta, joined the hair works in the mid-’90s and took over Uncle Tony’s salon, on Brant Street and Upper Middle Road.”
