Todd Da Silva is more than a stylist—he is a true craftsman, educator, and innovator shaping the future of hairdressing. With 17 years of industry mastery, Todd has cemented himself as a highly sought-after technical expert and mentor, known for his precision, authenticity, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

His journey began far from the salon—hand-shaping surfboards, where he developed a deep understanding of form, balance, and technique. That early craftsmanship ignited a passion that seamlessly translated into the world of hair, where Todd has since become an elite L6 stylist at The Factory San Diego and a Senior Technical Trainer at the prestigious Bellus Academy.

At Bellus, Todd is a driving force in technical education, curating advanced training programs, leading cutting-edge curriculum development, and mentoring the next generation of stylists. His tenure as a UNITE Regional Educator further expanded his industry reach, and while no longer in that role, his collaborations and influence remain unparalleled, making him one of the most respected voices in professional hair education today.

Recognized for his unwavering dedication to the craft, Todd has received numerous accolades, including Silver at the North American TrendVision Awards (2014) and a Hairbrained Video Award (2017). But beyond the awards, his true passion lies in pushing the boundaries of hairdressing, mentoring artists, and elevating the industry to new heights.

With a no-BS, hands-on approach, Todd is redefining what it means to be a hairstylist—not just as an artist, but as a true master of the trade. He continues to inspire, educate, and innovate, solidifying his reputation as a powerhouse in the industry.
