E., on the second floor. It is open six days a week and customers are booked into 45â€"minute periods to ensure stylists are not rushed. "We provide the same quality as this and other Toronto salons, but at $35 for a cut and style," Scarfo explains. "We could charge more but we‘re not here to get rich. I want to run a business and make a good livâ€" ing and be good to my clients." Right now, there are five stylists, including Scarfo‘s son who came from one of the best salons in Toronto that charged $125 for a cut and stvle. There is no room to expand and this suits Scarfo just fine. "I don‘t want a huge, loud shop," The salon is 1,600 square feet but is divided up into totally separate areas so that even when it is busy, the atmosphere feels quiet and peaceful. There is a very private esthetician‘s department with waxing, facial and makeâ€"up rooms. The technical area where perms and coloring take place is also separate from the cutting and styling area. he says Since Haircraft opened, it has gone through a number of renovaâ€" tions and Scarfo hopes to renovate again soon. "The colors are getting a little tired," he says. "I‘m going to bring in an interior designer and do it right." "It keeps us on top of the latest trends," adds Scarfo. "The hairdressâ€" ing community has come to rely on the guild for inspiration and informaâ€" tion." A major honor in Scarfo‘s career was his acceptance into the Guild of Hair Design in 1965. This is an exclusive organization made up of 90 of the best stylists in Ontario. They meet regularly to exchange ideas and they invite guest artists from different countries whenever they hear of something different and unique. "They are all knowledgeable in all areas so they can advise clients about the total hairstyle." Scarfo carries this philosophy to his stylists on staff, all of whom are able to do their own technical work which includes perms and coloring. °Ts "I specialize in everything because I believe the person who owns the shop should understand all phases of the business," he says. In 1962, hairstylist Dominic Scarfo sold the shop he owned at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto and bought a building in Oakville on Lakeshore Road. Today, his successâ€" ful salon called Haircraft is still in the same building and some of his forâ€" mer clients in Toronto now come to get their hair done in Oakville. "Our main objective is to please the client and to take care of her needs," says Scarfo, "and we‘re planâ€" ning to continue pleasing clients as long as they will let us." Hairstyling is the only business Scarfo has ever known. He started out as an apprentice in Italy when he was 14. When he came to Canada, he was too young to begin his career so he attended school, learned to speak English and eventually headed off to hairdressing school. He apprenticed for one of the best stylists in Canada who was at the King Edward Hotel.
