Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - One group of people who work to keep Puerto Vallarta beautiful are the amazingly talented stylists - some call them magicians - among us. One of the most popular and requested stylists is Thomas Simon, who recently hung out his own shingle in the new Zenith Condominium complex on Venustiano Carranza.

Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Thomas has the heart of a traveler. He embodies the quote: "Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind." In addition to exotic locales around the world like Machu Picchu, Athens, London, Rome, Thomas discovered Mexico.

In his travels throughout Mexico, Thomas kept coming back to Puerto Vallarta. The allure and pull of Vallarta which so many visitors feel, often makes some people take that exciting step. He moved here.

Having first joined a popular salon in Puerto Vallarta in 2011, Thomas built a fiercely loyal clientele. With his book filling up to the point he could no longer take new clients (and do all that traveling he loves), Thomas now enjoys a thriving salon of his own, adding new services and stylists to meet the increasing demand for color, style and highlights.

In partnership with Marty Rogo, of the famed Marty's Martini Bar in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, these two young entrepreneurs premiered the Thomas Simon Salon in the new Zenith Condominium on Venustiano Carranza in the Colonia Emiliano Zapata in January 2017.

"This was a lifestyle choice for me," explains Thomas. "I just bought my condo overlooking the ocean, I love my friends and my constant companions, Sol & Luna, and I just love my life in Puerto Vallarta."

So the next time you're looking for a rock star look, look no further than Thomas Simon Salon. You might just get bitten with the entrepreneurial spirit yourself.
