Meet Fehmi Veli

Master Stylist & Visionary Behind Prelude Salon & Spa

Fehmi Veli, the driving force behind Prelude Salon and Spa, is celebrated as one of the most influential stylists in Mississauga and Oakville’s hair industry. As the owner and master stylist, Fehmi has nearly two decades of experience perfecting his craft and transforming his clients’ visions into reality. Known for his exceptional skill and personalized approach, he has built Prelude into a premier salon that redefines beauty and style.

Fehmi’s journey into the world of hair began at a young age, inspired by his father’s legacy in barbering. His passion for men’s grooming laid the foundation for his expertise in precision cuts and impeccable beard line-ups. A pivotal moment in his career was meeting his late business partner, Paul Cea, which marked the beginning of his remarkable journey at Prelude Salon and Spa (formerly known as Prelude Hair Design and Esthetics). Together, they reimagined the salon experience, creating a space where style, creativity, and client satisfaction are paramount.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, Fehmi has trained alongside world-renowned stylists and competed at prestigious events, including the 2011 Mirror Awards, where he won the “Cut & Style” category. His relentless pursuit of innovation keeps him at the forefront of industry trends, setting the standard for luxury hair care. Today, as the proud owner of Prelude Salon and Spa, Fehmi leads a talented team of hairstylists, colourists, and estheticians who share his passion for artistry and exceptional service. His warm demeanour, visionary leadership, and dedication to his clients have made Prelude not just a salon, but a destination for beauty, relaxation, and transformation.

Denise — Hair Stylist

I have stood happily behind my chair for over 40 years in a business that’s constantly changing styles, techniques and trends, and have loved every minute of it! I strive to make my clients’ time in my chair as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, always meeting their needs and making them feel understood and happy after a thorough consultation about their new style, color, or just a monthly refresh. I have been very lucky to have made many friends and to have been a small part of their lives as we have grown older together but always ready to meet new people and create new relationships.
