Brittney Banks

Master stylist Brittney Banks is the sole owner of hair by banks & co. beautyBAR, found on Queen St. West in the heart of downtown Toronto. Brittney rose to prominence studying colour across North America under celebrity stylists Tracy Cunningham and Chris Appleton (made famous for their work with the Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and more), then branched out on her own and started hair by banks.

Brittney’s record speaks for itself; lead hair stylist on feature films for TIFF, private stylist to celebrities, pretty much impossible to book during the Toronto International Film Festival, and is a featured beauty expert in Flare magazine. Just to name a few ;) Today, Brittney and her amazing hair fam are considered some of the top blonde and extension specialists in Queen West, Toronto.
