Liam Livingstone
"Hair is the fibre that is woven into the fabric of fashion." – Liam Livingstone
Meet Liam Livingstone, the visionary behind Livingstone & Co. Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, as the middle child in a bustling family of nine, Liam’s love for style, glamour, and transformation began early—his first icon? None other than Barbie herself.
At just fifteen, Liam set his sights on greatness, enrolling in New Zealand’s most prestigious academy and luxury salon group. Blood, sweat, tantrums, and tiaras fueled his ambition, ultimately giving him the foundation to open his first studio. But he wasn’t stopping there.
By twenty, driven by an insatiable hunger for more, Liam made his mark in Melbourne, Australia, as a Senior Hair and Makeup Artist. This role propelled him into the world of editorial styling, working on high-fashion magazine spreads and commercial shoots—fine-tuning his craft for the spotlight.
In 2009, he took the leap and embraced the “Canadian Dream,” landing in Toronto to immerse himself in the thriving fashion and beauty scene. As an Artistic Director at a top midtown salon, Liam poured his expertise into every style he touched, bringing runway-worthy creativity to everyday transformations.
Now, through Livingstone & Co, Liam continues to redefine beauty with artistry, passion, and a dedication to creating unforgettable hair experiences.
Jessie Jung
For this gal, there is truly NOTHING Jessie can’t do! She arrived in Canada solo at just fourteen—no English, no friends… but absolutely no problem. Within no time, she became the glue that held together a tight-knit circle of fourteen friends, turning them into her chosen family—one she still treasures more than two decades later.
School? Jessie loved the social scene, but the lectures and rules? Not so much. While academics didn’t spark her fire, discovering hairstyling did. She honed her skills at the prestigious Sassoon Academy, where her instructor was floored by her ability to watch a technique once and replicate it with stunning precision.
Driven by both her passion for hairstyling and her thirst for adventure, Jessie set sail—literally—working on luxury cruise ships and styling her way across the globe. This experience introduced her to an incredibly diverse clientele, teaching her how to work with every hair type and texture imaginable.
Jessie’s gift lies in her ability to turn vision into reality. Whether it’s a dreamy bridal updo or a sleek, sharp paramilitary cut, she makes it happen—flawlessly. Her talent, combined with her infectious charm, keeps clients coming back, amazed at the transformations she creates.
Think you’ve got a hairstyling challenge she can’t tackle? We dare you to try!
Thellenxa
Meet Thellenxa—Livingstone & CO’s heart and soul! If you’ve stepped into the salon, you already know her. She’s the ultimate caregiver, making sure the team looks and feels their best every single day. A devoted mom of two, she brings warmth, humor, and a touch of effortless charm wherever she goes. And honestly, we’re still in awe that she mastered spelling her name at the age of three!
Thellenxa and her family have been an absolute gift to our salon family. Her kids keep us entertained with their wit, her husband’s jokes are always a hit, and she’s the first to lighten the mood with her playful dismissal of anything she’d rather not do—blaming it on English not being her first language.
Originally trained as a nurse, it didn’t take long for her passion for hair and beauty to take over. She began her hairstyling journey in Athens, Greece, before moving to Canada in 2011 to embrace motherhood full-time. But the call of the salon was too strong—so she pursued formal training in Toronto and built her career in some of the city’s finest salons before finding her perfect fit in midtown.
A lifelong learner, Thellenxa is always mastering her craft, diving into brand courses from Goldwell, Kevin Murphy, and Schwarzkopf, and soaking up knowledge from the talented stylists around her. She may joke about her English, but don’t let that fool you—her warm presence and infectious energy make every appointment unforgettable.

Kate
Senior stylist
Kate’s artistic journey began in Korea, where she first sharpened her creative eye as a graphic designer. But her innate talent for beauty and aesthetics soon led her to a new canvas—hair. With a deep appreciation for artistry and design, she seamlessly transitioned into the world of hairstyling, bringing her vision to life through every cut, color, and transformation.
With an impeccable sense of style and a keen understanding of balance and detail, Kate’s work is more than just hairstyling—it’s true artistry. Whether crafting bold, statement-making looks or enhancing natural beauty, she approaches each client with precision and passion.
Sang
Sing, SANG, Song—just in case you ever wondered how to say her name!
Sang is an artist at heart, with creativity running through her veins long before she picked up a pair of shears. As a child, she found joy in painting and drawing, but beauty always held a special place in her world. Growing up without female family members didn’t stop her—she simply turned her brother and male cousins into her living Barbie dolls, styling their hair and perfecting their makeup looks.
Before stepping into the hairstyling industry, Sang explored her artistic passions at both OCAD and Seneca. She initially pursued a degree in Creative Advertising but quickly realized her true happiness lay in hairstyling. Leaving university behind, she enrolled in hair school and has been crafting stunning looks ever since. Today, she channels her artistry through hair, turning each client into a masterpiece.
With her advertising background, Sang knows how to make sure every client walks out looking like a vision—ready to turn heads and collect compliments. She treats each person in her chair like a model, believing that a great hairstyle is the best kind of self-expression (and the best kind of personal branding!).
A dedicated listener and skilled stylist with over a decade of experience, Sang thrives on bringing her clients’ ideas to life. Whether it’s a bold new cut or a fresh color transformation, she embraces every challenge with enthusiasm and creativity. Whatever style you’re dreaming of, Sang is here to make it happen—one flawless look at a time.
Mario
Senior Stylist
With nearly 40 years of experience, I’ve learned that hairstyling isn’t just about hair—it’s about people. My philosophy? I hold myself to a higher standard than even my clients do. The hair itself is the easy part; the real art lies in understanding each individual, recognizing what suits them best, and enhancing their natural beauty.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to style for Fashion Week in Toronto and abroad, bringing runway-worthy expertise to my everyday clients. No matter where I’m working—whether behind the scenes at high-fashion events or right here in my chair—my focus remains the same: creating an exceptional experience where every client feels seen, understood, and truly confident.
