As we prepare for the debut of The Big Curious this April, I wanted to take a moment to look back at the partnerships that have made our storytelling possible. Tsiknaris Hair has been more than a premier advertiser for The Urbanite; they have been a loyal supporter of our vision for Brisbane from the very beginning.
In an industry that is often transient, the Tsiknaris family represents the rare power of longevity and excellence. To kick off our all-new flagship curated deep-read magazine, we are elevating their story—not just as a celebration of their 30-year legacy, but as a thank you for the support that allows us to dive deeper into the heart of our city.
The Tsiknaris Legacy: A Century of Excellence
The journey of Tsiknaris Hair is a masterclass in family synergy. With over 100 years of combined experience under one roof, Bill, Chris, Dimitri, and Shae have built a global reputation while remaining firmly rooted in their Brisbane home.
- Bill Tsiknaris: The Visionary For Bill, the journey that began in 1994 has always been about more than awards. “The thing that has stayed true is our commitment and consistency,” he reflects. Despite reaching the top of the industry internationally, he finds his greatest reward in mentoring his siblings and seeing them succeed on the global stage.
- Chris Tsiknaris: The Maestro of Colour Chris approaches every new client as an opportunity to showcase the “Tsiknaris standard” through signature colour styles and honed techniques. Working alongside his brothers provides a unique creative spark, upholding an image of excellence that has been decades in the making.
- Dimitri Tsiknaris: The Precision Specialist Known for his technical mastery, Dimitri finds deep fulfilment in life-changing transformations. Whether he is managing complex hair textures or supporting a client through a difficult personal journey, his focus is on reliability and providing a “new lease on life” through his craft.
- Shae Tsiknaris: The Heart of the Salon A three-time Master Cutter of the Year, Shae is the self-described perfectionist of the family. “I just want to be known as that hairdresser that cares and listens,” she says. Her approachable, fun-loving energy turns a standard appointment into a meaningful connection.
Kickstarting The Big Curious
We are proud to announce that Tsiknaris Hair will help us kick off the inaugural April issue of The Big Curious. This feature is an invitation to our readers to experience the “wealth of knowledge” that has made this family a premier Brisbane institution for over three decades.
