NAME:
Peter J. MacDonald
OCCUPATION: Owner and hairstylist of 
EDUCATION:
• B.A. from University of Toronto, majoring in French
• Certificate in hairstyling from George Brown College, Toronto,
followed by two years of apprenticeship in a salon. Earned a hairstyling
license, as governed by the Ontario Trades and Apprenticeship Board
(OTAB) as of January, 1997.
EXPERIENCE: I served an apprenticeship at the prestigious Holt
Renfrew Salon, in Toronto, Ontario, for two years with artistic
director John Caputi. I was sent on a two month apprenticeship exchange
at the prestigious Daniel Galvin salon, in London, England.
Worked with salon owner and Contessa winning stylist, Michael Volpe,
at Private Lines salon, in the upscale Yorkville neighbourhood of
Toronto, Ontario.
Stare Hair, sole proprietor and stylist, in Toronto since 2003.
Stare Hair, sole proprietor and stylist, in Kelowna since 2006
BIO: I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and grew up in the
beautiful bluffs district, in the suburb of Scarborough; close to
the beaches.
The real highlight during my apprenticeship, at Holt Renfrew, was
traveling to London, England and working at the Daniel Galvin salon.
It is my opinion that some of the best hairstylists in the world
are based in London.
For the first seven years I gained experience as a hairstylist
working at salons in downtown Toronto and then I decided to fulfill
some of my musical aspirations of performing, traveling and teaching
music. During this time I continued to work as a freelance mobile
stylist, worked on a cruise ship as a musical performer, traveled
throughout southern Ontario performing in different tribute bands
and traveled throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
STARE HAIR! was born in 2003 in the east end of Toronto on the
Danforth. My clientele was excellent, very supportive, but it was
my love of Beautiful British Columbia that propelled my wife and
I to relocate to Kelowna. We like the sun!
In April of 2005 I got married in Maui, Hawaii and shortly thereafter,
took a trip to Kelowna. It was through a series of interactions
with locals that led me to The Cannery Lofts. It was at that moment
I discovered STARE HAIR! in Kelowna which I hear is also known as
the “Maui of Canada”!
