Strictly Roots, 154 Bathurst, 416-757-1024, strictlyroots.ca
The city is stocked with super salons, but we love Strictly Roots for its all-natural techniques and charitable business approach. Owner Ruth Smith and her staff skip chemical relaxers and hot combs in favour of twists, braids and locs. A portion of profits from appointments and the sale of her eco-friendly at-home products benefit AIDS orphans in Africa.
