Contrary to popular belief, Palm Sunday isn’t the first salon in recent memory to grace the Ossington-Harbord strip. Co-owner Ronnie Dag remembers community members expressed excitement when the salon opened its doors in 2014. “We thought, ‘No, we’ve been here for eight years!’” Ronnie exclaims, referring to the fact that she and stylist/co-owner Kat Marcus had been cutting hair at The Saloon, Palm Sunday’s former incarnation, for several years. This wasn't well known as the dark and kitschy bar-like interior kept the space hidden and under the radar.
When the opportunity came for Ronnie and Kat to take over the space, they brought on their long-time friend Shane Lyon and the three teamed up to renovate and rebrand the salon to make it their own.

Word to the wise: you don’t have to try out every single hairstyle they feature on their website. It’s there for inspiration, yes, but mostly as a way of showcasing the outer edges of art. It’s bold, it’s brash and it’s in your face – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. When a barbershop cares this much about making your experience as broad as possible, that’s always a good thing.
