WINK JOHNSTON
OWNER/STYLIST, 650-575-9433

I started my professional hair stylist career as assistant to Sam Villa who is a Master of the craft. After completing his rigorous assistant training program I knew it was my passion. I followed my dream and went on to work in top salons in the area.

With more than 25 yrs behind the chair I still believe in continued education. Some of my advanced education and Certificates include: Vidal Sassoon (San Francisco), Tony & Guy (London), Nicholas Academy, Redkin, Keune, Sue Pemperton, Vero Color (Las Vegas), Shrink Link Hair Extensions (Los Angeles), and Brazilian Blowout Smoothing Treatment (San Francisco).

I opened Tonic in 2013 with the idea of Friendly, High end, Professional and current trend salon and specialize in all colour techniques including: High lift Blondes, Three dimensional color, Balayage, Tints, and fun fashion colors. I love doing Shrink Link Hair Extensions for clients who desire longer hair, added volume, or both! I also specialize in Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatments, custom Haircuts and styling. I feel listening to my clients is very important and I strive to help each one achieve their personal Hair Goal. I couldn't feel more blessed to have Tonic, love what I do, and work with such an amazing and talented staff.

KENT FRY
STYLIST, 559-410-1119

Named after one of my fathers haircut clients, I was sort of born into the business. My first job included assisting in the salon, at fashion shows, magazine shoots and hair shows across California.

I found that where I am most comfortable is behind the chair. Hair color is what sparked my interest the most initially, and my career has revolved mainly around coloring and cutting.

With thirty years in the industry, I have trained with several major hair color companies and owned my own salon. Still committed to continuing education, I have most recently attended classes from companies such as Keune, Aveda and Brazilian Blowout. My work has recently been seen in Glamour UK magazine.

Hairdressing has always been my passion. I committed to this path in 2019 and graduated from a barbering academy in Russia. Since I have had the pleasure of working in some of the top barbershops in the country while refining my skills through advanced training programs.

In October 2022 I began my American hair styling journey in San Francisco. I am now thrilled to bring my skills to Tonic salon in Belmont, where I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and supportive close-knit team. Every client here receives personalized care.

I strive to create hair styles that perfectly compliment my client’s facial features, body type, personal style along with their profession. Every client here receives personalized care. I specialize in fades, medium length hair, long men’s haircuts beard shaping and straight razor shaves.
