Our Team & Story

Our Story

Maria
Owner

Amici Hair Lounge + Boutique is the next chapter in a story that began with Joseph’s Coiffures, a Hamilton staple built on tradition, community, and artistry. Growing up in the beauty industry, owner Maria Mendolia Mosher combined her business acumen with her passion for the craft, bringing her vision to life in 1995 when she first purchased the salon.

Now, with a refreshed name and a new location in the heart of downtown Hamilton, Amici carries forward the same principles that defined us from the beginning—exceptional service, advanced education, and a deep commitment to our community—while offering an elevated guest experience.

Our philosophy has always been rooted in education and inspiration. By continually training and travelling internationally, our team hones its skills to bring back the latest techniques, artistry, and fashion trends to our guests.

At Amici, we believe in cultivating a highly talented team and creating an inviting space where every guest feels at home. Our promise remains unchanged: to offer only the best, and to make a meaningful difference through beauty, creativity, and connection.
