Samir was born in Lebanon in 1968. He started hair dressing at age 11 by servicing, shampooing and cleaning while working with various hair stylists. His mother talked to a friend to get him into hair design at the age of 11 when he started studying hair design. At 17, Samir started practicing hair cutting along with proper blow drying and mixing colours and practising up-dos. He also started studying skin colours.
At age 20 he arrived in Toronto, Canada. Samir started working for Salon Po Po Salon from 1982 to 1984. Samir started cutting hair in this time period. Started working for Michelle St. Laurent in 1984 to 1991.
He opened Samir Unisex Hair Design at 36 Church Street in Toronto in 1984. He was there until 1996 when he moved to 36 Toronto Street later that year where Samir Hair Design is still located.
You can still find him there and doing well. Samir sees a face and how the hair should work. It’s actually a work of art and design for him when he sees a colour of skin and hair length.
Samir also does commercial work. He has designed hair for Fashion Television, Eaton Center, and Ann Rohmer from City TV’s Breakfast Television.
