A few words about us...
Our Story
Every great journey begins with a single moment.
Ours began one evening with a spontaneous decision, driven by dreams, courage, and just a little bit of madness. It was a decision I made, with my wife Maria by my side, believing in my dream from the very beginning.
At the time, I had only two years of professional experience in hairdressing. While studying, I worked in two salons – first in Mykonos during the summer season and later in Piraeus for ten months. Those experiences gave me not only the technical knowledge I needed, but, more importantly, the confidence to take the next step.
The risk was significant. Financially, I wasn’t in the strongest position, and many believed it was far too early for me to open my own salon. The truth is, there were moments when I doubted myself as well.
But there was something stronger than fear. Belief in myself. And two principles that have guided every important decision in my life: “Θαρσείν Χρη” (Take Courage) and “Τολμών Νικά” (Fortune Favors the Bold). That was the beginning of the very first Konstantinos Kontizas Hair Salon.
In 2012, the first salon opened its doors in Salamina, at 141 Salaminos Avenue. It marked the beginning of a journey built on countless hours of hard work, dedication, continuous education, and a genuine passion for the art of hairdressing. It didn’t take long to build a strong relationship of trust with our clients. Within just two years, we had established a loyal clientele that became the foundation for the growth of our business and paved the way for everything that followed.
The next chapter of our story was written in Thessaloniki, Maria’s hometown, where we opened our second salon on 132 Markou Botsari Street. It was an incredibly creative period, filled with professional training seminars for hairstylists in Salamina, Athens, and Thessaloniki, presentations at hotel venues, and participation in the renowned Beauty exhibition, constantly expanding both our expertise and our vision.
In 2016, another dream became reality with the opening of our third salon in Mykonos, my hometown. Within just one year, the salon earned a reputation for its professionalism, creativity, and exceptional quality, leading to prestigious collaborations with luxury five-star hotels, private villas, and luxury yachts.
In 2018, we expanded our vision by opening AA Street Fashion, a contemporary men’s and women’s fashion boutique located next to our salon, creating a unique destination where beauty and fashion come together in one space.
Our journey continued in 2020 with the opening of our seasonal salon in Platis Gialos, Mykonos, followed by another important milestone in 2022 with our new salon in Ano Mera, allowing us to continue growing with the same passion that has inspired us since day one.
In 2025, we proudly welcomed the newest member of the Konstantinos Kontizas Hair Salon family with the opening of our salon in Mykonos Town (Chora). Every new salon represents much more than business growth – it is proof that dreams can become reality through perseverance, hard work, and the support of those who believe in you.
Today, looking back, I feel deeply grateful.
Grateful to everyone who believed in me from the very beginning.
To those who continue to choose us.
And to every smile we have the privilege of seeing every single day.
The story of Konstantinos Kontizas Hair Salon is more than the story of a business.
It is the story of a person who dared to believe in his dream, and of a family that stood beside him every step of the way.
And this journey continues – guided by the same passion, the same dedication, and the same commitment to helping every person who trusts us become the very best version of themselves.
