From his early roots as a young London hairdresser, to his phenomenal success as both an artist and salon owner in Canada, Jason Kearns has shared his passion, talent and creative genius with the beauty industry. He currently co-owns the stylish, high-end Kearns-Davidson Hair & Skin Care salon in Toronto, and is devoted to his thriving business, as well as fashion-forward photography. Equally comfortable in the salon and studio, Jason acts as both hair artist and art director to create stunning photographic works that mesmerize audiences throughout the world. 

“Like fashion designers, I conceptualize a photo shoot based on how I want a woman to look…the way I see her mood …how I read her emotions,” Jason explains. “It’s the same sort of approach that I take when doing hair in my salon. When a new client first walks through the door, I observe how she carries herself, her height and size. I notice her dress and ask as many personal questions as I can without getting too personal. Balancing these internal and external factors helps me understand which direction I should explore with her hair, and how far I can push the envelope in terms of style.”

Often touted as the beauty industry’s best kept secret, Jason coifs the tresses of A-list celebrities, as well as media luminaries, ladies who lunch, and everyday clients who have high aspirations for their hair.

Surrounded by talent and inspired by art, he also works with top international photographers (see photographic credits) to create haunting collections that begin with a simple idea or expression, and finish as a true work of art. Stunning straightforward headshots, Jason creates compelling stories through objects, lighting, fashion and beauty.

Jason Kearns currently lives in Toronto. He has been a hairdresser for over 25 years, and has been involved in photography for most of his career. Generous and passionate by nature, Jason’s philanthropic works are legend. Some of the charities that are dear to his heart are: breast cancer research, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and numerous local hospital fundraisers.
