Jessie Jung
For this gal, there is NOTHING Jessie cannot do. She arrived in Canada alone at age fourteen. No english, no friends, Nooo problem. Jessie became the glue of fourteen friends who became her family-away-from-home which she still sees 20 years later. In school, she loved socializing, but not the school part... or being told what to do. Being uninterested in school, she was able to discover her passion for hairdressing! She attended the Sassoon's Academy where her instructor was shocked at her talent for watching something once and being able to replicate it to perfection at a breakneck speed.
With her passion for hair and her lust for travel, she set sail for the Seven Seas, working on luxury cruise ships while reaching every corner of the world. This gave her a very diverse clientele where she learned how to work with every hair type.
Jessie’s talent for being able to replicate anything and her sweet charm always leaves her clients in awe. She makes anything possible whether it’s a romantic bridal updo or a paramilitary haircut. We dare you to find a challenge she isn’t up for!
Thellenxa
Thellenxa --- we still wonder how she learned to spell her name at 3 years old! If you've ever been to Livingstone & CO, you know who Thellenxa is! She is the carer of the team. Mom of 2, she always makes sure everyone is very well taken care of, she sees to it that the team looks and feels good.
Thellenxa and her family have been a great addition to Livingstone and CO family. From her smart kids always entertaining and amusing the team, her husband's jokes and Thellenxa herself making jokes and dismissing what she doesn't like to do with the excuse of not knowing English as her first language.
Thellenxa originally studied to be a nurse, that was short lived as her love for hair and beauty led her to study and start her career as a hairstylist in Athens, Greece. Thellenxa moved to Canada in 2011 and was a full-time mom but her love for hairstyling made her pursue a career as a hairstylist in Toronto. She went to hair school in Toronto and worked as a stylist at other salons until she finally found a home at an upscale salon in Mid-town Toronto.
Always eager to learn new techniques and develop her hairstyling skills, Thellenxa is always trying to learn, either from online courses, brand courses from Goldwell, Kevin Murphy and Schwarzkopf and through the amazing stylists she has a pleasure of working with at the salon.
Thellenxa may "struggle" at speaking in English, but she always finds a way to make you laugh and feel warm while you are on her chair!

Mario
My philosophy is that my expectation exceeds the client’s. For me it’s all about the client and their experience. The hair is the easy part, it’s about understanding what suits the client, enhancing what is already beautiful. In my close to 40 years of experience I've been fortunate to have been involved in doing hair for Fashion Week in Toronto and abroad. I bring my expertise to my everyday clients in my chair.
Anna
Found her passion early in life, as the baby sister to four older girls at age 10, she was called on daily to blow-dry their hair, but this was no Cinderella story. Instead, it was a tail of opportunity, passion, and discovery to natural hair skill. When the chance arose to study hairdressing/cosmetology in high school there is no hesitation. The “awesome” two year co-op program provided an opportunity to learn the trade as an apprentice that led to a full-time position at one of Toronto’s prestige salons; which she was fortunate to be amongst the first group to train at Aveda’s Academy.
It wasn’t until Anna opted for a complete career change and spent several years tailoring in the financial sector that she realized how much she missed working as a hairstylist.After taking a break from the outside world to have three children, she opened the doors to her own private hair studio, which allowed her to continue working in the hair industry while raising her kids giving her the best of both worlds. During that time Anna continuously trained with different colour lines, such as L’Oreal, Wella and Schwartz, as well as training with the best in the industry Vidal Sassoon in her cutting edge skills.
Anna takes great pride in specializing in the free hand colour technique known as the balayage method. Although this method can also be used in providing depth or darkening hair with a natural feel, it is most known for blonde highlighting, which mimicks that natural sun-kiss look. Anna has an artists’ eye for just the right colour prioritizing. This, along with a passion for perfecting perfection, is her masterpiece of skills she loves to share
Anna never stops learning. Always seeking to master the latest in the hair industry trends, she is continuously, upgrading her skills, talent, extensive experience, passion, and commitment to clients satisfaction.
